[Philmont] Nobody wants a free trip to Philmont?

I circulated your message to local districts here in Dallas. I have had 2 people contact me to say they may be interested. I would suggest you contact them directly:

Jan for her son 903-447-2970 or 903-269-5086

David Feray  972-467-0245

They can drive up and meet you at Philmont. If this doesn't work and you are faced with cancelling, call me and I may volunteer to meet you there and get you on the trail. I know you do not want your boys to miss this opportunity. I took a crew in 2003 and the guys still talk about it.

All,

Unfortunately, one of our advisors just found a previously undiagnosed medical condition that will prevent him from going to Philmont.  As a result of this situation, neither of his two sons will be joining us either.  This leaves us with 3 already paid for Philmont slots.  Please, won’t someone join us?  Our scouts are devastated (and so am I!)

This leaves us in a very precarious position; if we don’t find another scout to go, we don’t go!  Our current crew is comprised of 3 dads and 3 sons.  I participated in a Philmont trek in 2003.  We need at least one scout age 14 – 20 to join our crew.  Ideally, we would find a scout and his father, brother or other friend to join us. 

We are leaving Santa Barbara on June 18th, flying to Albuquerque and then driving on to Santa Fe before arriving at Philmont on the morning of June 20th.  We are returning to Santa Barbara on July 2nd.

We are designated crew 620 K and are taking the program packed trek 16, through the southern part of Philmont.  Programs include Black Powder Rifle Shooting, Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Blacksmithing, Spar Pole Climbing and climbs over Mt. Phillips and the Tooth of Time.

Please don’t hesitate to call or email me.

Thanks,

Bob Balch
