We had our first Philmont planning meeting over the weekend. It was a great meeting with a lot of useful information shared by those who had been to Philmont in the past. It was great to have scouts who had just completed a Rayado trek this summe to tell the other scouts and adults what to expect. We had a nice mix of adults and scouts that had been to Philmont before and those who had never been there.

Tim went over the gear. What to bring and just as important or more important, what not to bring.

We used the 1st meeting outline that is available for download on this site. We went over the budget for the trek and showed the video from the 2016 trek. The scouts filled out the trek survey.

A great start for next years trek.
