Boy Scout Troop 1001

Philmont Crew 612-M will meet at Trinity Bible Church on Tuesday June 10, 2008 at 8:30 am. Please be on time; we want to be on the road by 9:00 AM. Each crew member should have his backpack packed for the trail and carry a small duffel bag or school sized backpack with clothes, toiletries, etc for our days on the road. We will wear Class A uniforms while we are traveling (scout shirts can be removed while in the van - crew or BSA related t-shirt required). Once we start checking in at Philmont (6/12/08) we will only wear Class A for Crew Picture, Chapel Services and Opening/Closing Campfire.

Each boy needs to have:

• Personal gear listed in the BAT binder or the Philmont Guide to Adventure. Lost your Guidebook? Look here.
• The crew gear (stoves, gas, pots, compass, etc) that we have used on our shakedowns.
• The capacity to carry at least 4-5 liters of water (Nalgenes, Camelback, etc).
• Ten tent stakes (7" gutter nails will work and are cheap and light).
• Spending money for souvenirs (Philmont belt and buckle are about $40).
• Red or Blue Philmont golf shirts from Mr. Reisinger (we may wear these in place of scout shirt IF everyone has one).
• Three copies of any outstanding paperwork.

Pillows might be nice for the van ride - except for drivers. IPods, MP3s and handheld games are allowed in the van only and must be used with earphones. They will remain locked in the van when we are not driving, if there is any concern about loss or theft, don't bring it. Cell phones will NOT be necessary, calling cards can be used at base camp, adult advisors will have cells for emergency calls.
