I thought he'd look older...
...and slightly less pasty white.
I was somewhat apprehensive beforehand and it had some bad parts (like my backpacking chafing my hips raw the first few days), but it ended up being a fantastic experience. It was Philmont Scout Ranch btw. I'm sure if you looked into it you could get in as an adviser to a crew at some point.That's pretty intense. I'd like to do something like that.
No I was Life at the time. I got Eagle the next spring (07)Did you go to Philmont after you got Eagle?
That sucks. I had a great crew and it was the first time I had been out West, so it was a cool experience. It did convince me that I wouldn't really like living there.i didnt like philmont. the ramp up hikes we did were much better. but when you consider california is better than new mexico, it really shouldnt be a surprise.
plus i didnt like who i was with. and the scout leader wouldnt let me hike with the venture crew like i wanted
