Philmont fun it has happened I went I, I saw I loved I know I will go back to this scouting paradise.
I've been wanting to go ever since my dad told me
his Philmont stories when I was a Weblos from when he went in '71.As he makes his return
trip he has handed down things he brought to and purchased at Philmont. He has given me
his old Philmont belt and buckle, and most important of all he has given me his memories.
His photo's small 3"5" color and the crew photo was black and white.

Philmont Hymn
Silver on the sage, starlit skies above. Aspen covered hills, country that I love. Philmont here's to thee, scouting paradise. Out in God's country tonight.
Wind in whisp'ring pines, Eagles soaring high. Purple mountains rise against an azure sky. Philmont here's to thee, scouting paradise. Out in God's country tonight.
