I Finally Made it to the Philmont Scout Ranch

For many years I have wanted to go to the famous and historic Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  But the the opportunity never came - until recently when hen my opportunity finally came.  It was not the usual Philmont trek - nor was it a Philmont typical training course - but it turned out to be wonderful and fun.  You can read about my trip here:  My First Trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch

The Fun, Adventure and Romance of Scouting

“FUN, ADVENTURE, AND ROMANCE …”  One of the Youth Leadership professors at Brigham Young University – the college I attended, talked extensively to us about the “Fun, Adventure, and Romance” of Scouting.  “Adventure,” he said, “Is when you do something for the first time.  “Fun” is when you repeat the adventure and still enjoy it.  And “Romance” is the Spirit of Scouting, the classy experiences that tie you to the program. Romance keeps you coming back for more fun and adventure.”    Read the full blog:  The Fun, Adventure and Romance of Scouting
