*I've mentioned some BSA High Adventure activities in recent posts.. and wanted to show you what *they do and have as activities.. The New Program is proposeing a "Extream Sport" theam.. and I beleve that will sell very well, but produceing the activity made be a streach for a local Outpost. *It is for Boy Scout Troops.. They have created out of their summer camp program adventures where experts in the "high adventure" teach on sight the skills needed and guide the troop and even the leaders.. so that the total experiance is not on the back of one local man beyond setting up the "package adventure".. My "History" is all Royal Ranger... To fuel the "fire" in my Outpost in the sixties my Dad subscribed me to "Boys Life" and I beleve I read every issue cover to cover<G> I attended RR NTC '96 at Donner Mine camp and returned to my outpost with a desire to impliment the Patrol methiod.... that reserch led me back to Scouting.. *Not to compare but to "improve" my local outpost. In the process my son and wife and myself have been pleased with what we have found in our excellent Troop. When grazeing on a Hay bale.. *take what you want, and let the rest fall to the ground.. *I honestly desire a better Ranger experiance than the one I facilitated... because I had a quality time as a Royal Ranger<G> and pictures of Philmont and the stories these Houston scouters tell is right up my ally<G> Thanks... -=A=- http://www.biomedcomp.com/Guests/PhilJrnl/intro.html -- ��ࡱ�Title: The Troop 806 Philmont Photo-Journal
 The 624-E1 Photo-JournalOn June 23, 1996, Houston, TX based Troop 806 waved goodbye to its first high adventure crew in four years. Eighteen hours, two pathetic meals, and a short night's sleep later, the six scouts and four advisors that made up crew 624-E1 finally arrived at Philmont National Scout Ranch, a self proclaimed "scouting paradise." After a day of paperwork at basecamp, the crew finally began their ten day backpacking trek. This is our story, in what we beleive to be a completely unique form. We put up this resource partially to help us remember our experiences over the ten days, but also to help others who may be planning a trip to Philmont, or any other long term excursion. But most importantly, we put it up for fun. We hope you'll enjoy what we've done -- we're awfully proud of it. To get started, just click on the "Map" button below.
