Philmont 2012 - It is time again for Philmont. The Council will offer a Philmont Contingent of three (3) crews of 12 each. We are planning to have one northern based crew, a southern based crew, and a Venturing crew. The dates are July 17 - August 2012 (including travel time). If you are a seasoned adult, please step forward to lead one of these crews. We will look to fill each crew with adults, Scouts, or Venturers from 3 - 4 different units, that have not been to Philmont before or in the last two years. Minimum age is 14 years by January 1, 2012. Pick up your application today! |
Sea Base 2012 - You asked for it and we are bringing it to you. We are forming 2 - 3 crews in the summer of 2012 to head south to the Keys of Florida. Excursions to be planned once they become available and we will give you a selection to choose from: scuba diving, snorkeling, coral reef sailing, out island adventure... you pick and you are guaranteed to have a great time. |
