I'm an eagle scout and also have the arrow of light from cub scouts. I was deep in scouting the entire time I was eligible to be in as a youth, and still maintain a connection to it now as an adult. I love Philmont. I love Philmont. I went on two 12-day treks as a youth, then worked there for 5 summer seasons in (and after) college. I continue to return to volunteer and stuff. I'm a lifetime member of Philmont Staff Association - essentially an alumni association exactly like universities have, but for Philmont staff. I've been on three PSA treks - there's special treks just for PSA members! Literally tomorrow I head to New Mexico where I'll attend the PSA's annual reunion. And after that I am staying at the ranch to volunteer for just part of the summer. I am so excited. I'm bringing my fiddle and my banjo and a good attitude. The wind in whispering pines calls me. I'm goin' home. Anyway, AMA about being a Philmont staff member (the best job I've ever had) or just going to Philmont in general. I'll answer if I have internet access! Oh, and if you're interested there's a Philmont podcast. I've been interviewed for it, which was fun: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/silver-on-the-sage/id1550520200

OkieJokie posted:We just got back from a trip to Philmont (my second time to be an adult advisor.) Philmont is an experience I wish everyone could have during their life. The music, scenery and culture is just amazing. Tell me about the music you enjoyed. Any specific camps have a particularly good show in your opinion? Any standout songs, stories, jokes, or performances? I spent 3 of my 5 summers working at Philmont in music camps. I loved playing a nightly show for campers and to this day the music program is one of my very favorite things the ranch does. I would love to hear about your experience with the music program as a participant.
