[Philmont] Black Bear Attack

A scout got drug out of his tent at Indian Writings in 2002.

Another scout got stepped on by a bear at Copper park in 1997. He was
asleep in his tent during the day. Another crew saw the bear in camp
and scared him off. The bear accidentally fell over the tent while
trying to escape.
