Recently more of our area Boy Scouts have been attending the New Mexico Scout Camp, Philmont. 

The Scouts and their leaders learn to get outside their comfort zone, see what they can be challenged with & learn life lessons along the way.

Good boots, a fitted pack & trustworthy gear is a must for Philmont due to the high amount of adventure involved.

Ted Johnson, a Charlotte-area Scout leader recently returned from a July trip to Philmont, stated “We had a great time.  All I can say is that we traveled 70 miles in 10 days and went as high as 10,400 feet.  Yes, the views were breath taking!”

Boy Scouts are required to be 14 years of age to attend and many times certain leadership requirements need to be fulfilled before heading out.
Leaders & parents like Johnson are an integral part of travelling to Philmont; and they seem to get equal or more out of the trip as their children.

 Nonetheless, character, merit badges & lifelong friendships & memories are made on a trip to Philmont.Plus, sometimes it just wears you out.
