Philmont is considered to be the pinnacle of High Adventure activities for
the Boy Scouts of America. Our Troop is very lucky to have been awarded a
Philmont Crew Intenary for August of 2009. Yes, even though this is still 10
months away it is time to start organizing the Crew for Troop 993's 2009
Philmont High Adventure Trek. Troop 993 has 8 spots open on our Philmont
Crew. The upcoming Hike O Ree will be the first Training Outing for the
Troop's Philmont Venture Crew.
To be a member of the Crew you must first meet
these basic requirements - Be First Class and 14 years of age on January 1,
2009. These are only the basic requirements, the Troop will have more
requirements (have earned certain merit badges, attendance at training
campouts and training meetings, Red Cross CPR Certified, etc.) which will
need to be met to ensure your position on the crew. These requirements and
others including costs will be discussed at a Philmont Crew organizational
meeting on October 23, at 7:30PM.
Each qualified Scout that is interested in going to
Philmont needs to attend the October 23 meeting with a parent or Guardian.
Thanks and See you there
Mr. Mac, Venture Crew/Path to Eagle Advisor and
Soon to be an Assistant Scoutmaster
