[Philmont] Looking at a Philmont Trek

The 2008 summer camping season will be booked through the computer
generated "lottery" system. I believe the process has started but there
is still time to enter. Call 505-376-2281 Ext. 225 to receive
information.

My troop has never been to

There is no effect.

What could be the

need such a program is).

2008.

If interested in a horseback Cavalcade for 2008, you should send a note or
card to Philmont before the end of this year as the Cavalcade drawing for
2008 will take place in January, 2007.

If interested in a 2007 Kanik (their winter camping program which runs
through March), contact Philmont and you can probably book a crew now.
