Philmont Scout Ranch - 2012 The Los Angeles Area Council has a reservation for a two Crew contingent to attend Philmont Scout Ranch in 2012. This means that twenty-four Scouts and adults will participate in an outstanding High Adventure experience in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains, located in New Mexico. Philmont provides not only a premier backpacking experience at elevations in the 8,000 12,000 foot range, but also a unique, Western-theme program at many backcountry camps. Date: July 6 July 21, 2012. These dates include AMTRAK transportation time. Participants must be 14 years of age OR completed the 8 th grade and be at least 13 years of age prior to participation. Participants 18 through 20 years of age may be counted as youth or adult crew members. Each crew is required to have a majority of youth participants, and the maximum number of adults (over 21) is four (4) per crew. All participants must provide BSA Form 680-001, Annual Health and Medical Record (available at boyscoutsla.org/health and medical forms), which must be within a year prior to July 2012. All participants must be current as to a tetanus shot and pass an in-camp medical check. A participant s weight must fall below the maximum limit for his/her height as listed on Form 680-001.

Participants will coordinate crew equipment such as tents, backpack stoves, cook sets, etc. What is not available among crew members, may be rented from Philmont.

Backpack mileage will be in the range of 50 100 miles, over 12 days including one or two layover days, depending on the itinerary selected by each crew. Participants and alternates are required to take several backpack trips with their Philmont crew in the local mountains, beginning no later than January 2012 to demonstrate hiking and camping skills and physical condition. This is also conducive to developing teamwork and checking out the durability of personal and crew equipment. The cost is approximately $1,200 per participant, depending on the cost of transportation, LAAC Philmont shirts, hats and neckerchiefs and miscellaneous expenses. Reservations are on a first-come basis. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required with the application (see reverse side). Balance of fee is to be paid by February 1, 2012.
