Hello Troop!

The time for action if you would like to Trek Philmont with a Broomfield troop is NOW!
 
Our troop did not receive any Treks for 2011, but Troop 337 did. They have 10 spots open and are offering them to our troop. In the past we have had Scouts from 337 go with us to Seabase and Philmont, and we have sent Scouts with 337 to Boundary Waters. There is a long tradition of sharing high adventure between our troops.
 
The trip is June 18th-June 30th, 2011. The cost to BSA is $725, plus expenses traveling to and from the Scout Ranch. a deposit of $100 is required before February 1, 2010. That is just a few week off folks! Scouts need to be 14 years old by June 2011, so we should have a bunch of guys qualified to go.
 
If you want to go, please reply to me directly at flying-mooses@msn.com .
 
Thanks
Yours In Scouting
