3 days until we get on the train to Philmont. After lots of planning and meetings, it’s almost here.
It’s been great the last two days for training hikes. Lots of scouts and adults showing up. It’s been a good chance to get the backpacks adjusted. Everynight, at least one more is fitted better and that person notices the difference of a well fitted pack.
We have found a new route through Hartman Reserve with even more stairs! Great for training and we still end with the Lookout Park hill.
For each crew – be sure to bring one HEAVY DUTY CARABINER for the Oops bag that is attached to the bear bags. Not sure what this is, don’t worry, the ranger will explain it to you. Just be sure, as a crew, you have one.
Again, on Saturday, wear your trek t-shirts for pictures, then change to what you will wear on the train. Keep your class A in your carry on bag and anything else you want on the train.
