Re: [Philmont]: For Cooper (plus Parent Rally info)

The plan for our parent's meeting is to hold it at one of the larger retail
outdoor type stores so that we can show hands-on what types of gear to look
for. We plan on having a gear checklist to hand out so that they can take
notes, etc. We are hoping that it should eliminate some of the confusion on
what types of gear the boys will need, but also give them the opportunity to
record favored brands, etc.
