Hey scouts,
This post is about the fabled trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. This trip occurred at the start of the summer from June 8th to June 20th, for 12 days. However, this trip started MUCH further back for a lot of us.
You gotta understand, they were hyping up this trip and telling stories about Philmont. Something along the lines that we’d be backpacking in “waist deep mud”. Our training hikes for the trip also started way before this, around the fall of 2024.
We also linked up with 2 Eagle Scouts from Troop 75 in Los Altos, who were absolutely fantastic crew members might I add, and told stories about their youthful times. If you really wanna know, come ask me about it at the next troop meeting. Anywho, the crew flew out on June 7th to Denver, Colorado, where they then drove a short bit to the Ranch.
With all the photos from the trip, Sumedh Chakka and I made a short, bite sized video to sum it all up.
So until next time, stay frisky scouts.
