Griffith League II

This past weekend, both of Troop 448's Philmont contingents participated in a joint preparation event at Griffith League Scout Ranch. We had a great hike of 9.37 miles (according to JMR's GPS). Most of the scouts camped out overnight and had great weather.  The highlight of this event was eating the food ordered from Philmont.  Everyone got a taste of the food and the reviews were high.  Let's see how they like the food after 10 days on the trail.  The Philmont will be heading out in a few montths and are working well together.

Personal Equipment

This list of personal equipment is very carefully developed.  While at Camping HQ before leaving on your trek, your crew's Philmont Ranger will lead the crew in an equipment "shakedown."  In this shakedown, the Ranger will not permit you to take things that are not on this list.  The reality is that you really don't even need all of this!  Remember that you will be carrying this for 12 days -- watch those ounces.
The lists below are from the 2006 Philmont Guidebook to Adventure.  Comments in blue are those of the Contingent Advisor.
