[philmont] Does anyone else consider Philmont to be a Scouting activity ?

Gary:

I imagine that there will be varied viewpoints on this. People can
experience Philmont in a variety of roles and ways to assemble
crew/contingent. We have a healthy high adventure program and consider
Philmont as one component of the overall program for the troop. We were
fortunate to attend with a couple troop contingent for Philmont Backpacking
Expeditions in 1998, 2001 and 2004. We are fairly deep in the waiting list
for 2007 and are making alternative plans.

Regards.

I recently had a discussion with my former Troop and was told by the
leadership that a Philmont treck is NOT considered a Troop Scouting
activity.

I did consider Philmont the ultimate Scouting adventure when I went 2 years
ago. What does everyone else think?

Thanks,
