[philmont] 7 Hours of Trail Service

do the other 7 hr before you go!! Did it after on my first 2 treks, don't know why it didn't occur to me to do before someone in this group discussed it. Only a 3 or 4 got the patch that way.
 
in 2007, 10 out of the 12 got the patch. We used conservation/trail work at local hiking trail for the other 7 hr. It was a great way to again get the boys together more and work on group dynamics and team work. It was optional but everyone but 2 boys came.
 
I also worked on Backpacking MB during our training. At our crew meetings and we worked on requirements. The training hike/campouts were designed to complete requirements too. As of now, 6 out of the 9 boys have completed the merit badge.
 
with planning your crew members can earn alot, look for local patches/awards that can be earned from your council or High adventure team.
 
At the court of Honor last fall, it was very impressive to the other boys in the troop when the Philmont Crew got so many patches and awards, when I was able to list how many miles each crew member had hiked (total from training and Philmont), when I was able to honor the scout who had hiked the most miles (total from training and Philmont), and honored the crew leader with a gift. I also gave the other adult Advisor a PHILMONT belt.
