Troop 1001 has made the deposit for one crew for Northern Tier Canoe Base for a 10 nights adventure July 10-20, 2018. The crew size is 8 and 5 boys and 3 adults indicted they wanted to go. Since the deadline of Feb 13 two additional boys have indicated they want to go. The troop will take names of those wanting to go and if there are 8 an additional trek will be organized. See NorthernTier for more information. Give you name to Mike Reisinger if you want to be on the list.

Ask a Scouter that has been to Philmont about their trek and more than likely, you will hear things like:

• The wildlife and scenery are amazing!
• I was challenged, and it helped me grow as a person.
• Once you’ve gone, you understand what it means to EARN a Philmont patch.
• The experience was life changing!
