[Philmont] Cowboys Movies

Additionla on The Cowboys. The plot line could read:
Two adults take a group of 11-17 year old boys out into the woods and help them discover outdoor skills and wilderness survival. They learn to shoot firearms, ride horses, rope skills, set up camps, cooking, cleaning, take leadership roles, act as team players.

One of the boys is even named Cimarron!

What could be more appropriate?

  From: Donald S. Roberts I would recommend Cowboys, a John Wayne movie where he has to take a bunch of teenagers for a cattle drive because no adults are available. They ended up making a tv series about it (short lived). Lot's of good scout discussion points on that one, showing boys having to learn to take responsibility - especially after Wayne dies. It was very scout-like in its approach.
