John,
I was wondering if you could pass this along. We are still looking for a hand full of scouts to go to Philmont next summer. We have two scouts (and one leader) going from T635, it would be great to have two or three more. T624 is sending six or seven scouts going. Give me a call if there are any questions. Approximate cost is $1350. We will fly to Denver and spend three days at Peterson AF Base. We will go white water rafting down the Colorado, visit the AF Academy, and other stuff. Then we spend 12 days at Philmont in northern New Mexico. The last day before we fly home we will go to Six Flags amusement park near Denver. It will be a great trip. Thanks!

To All,
At some point prior to today, all of you (or your son (s)) expressed interest to me in attending Philmont with the Council contingent in 2007. If you are still interested, you are all being offered the first opportunity to sign up. The official flyer will be on the Council website this weekend but you are getting the early release. Most of the information you need is in the flyer. The big picture is: Depart VT 24 July 2007, fly to Denver. We'll stay in Denver for 2 days and go whitewater rafting, visit the Air Force Academy, mountain bike near Pikes Peak and visit The Mountain of the Gods. We'll be sure to throw in an "authentic" western BBQ as well! We will bus to Philmont on 27 Jul and hit the trail later that day. We hike for 12 days and come out on 8 Aug. We'll bus back to Denver and go to Six Flags on 9 Aug. We plan to fly back to VT on 10 August.
We're getting a late start on putting the contingent together but I have no doubt we'll be ready well in advance. It's going to be an awesome trip and I look forward to seeing your applications. Please send the application directly to Council. Please email me as well to let me know if you still plan on attending. There are some important dates in the flyer so please be sure to notice them. I also plan to organize some fund raiser to help offset the costs of the trip.
Thanks again for expressing interest!
