 Philmont
Training Center
Philmont Scout Ranch,
Cimarron, NM
What better place to spend
part of the 100th
Anniversary of the Boy
Scouts of America than at
the Philmont Training
Center! Great volunteer
leaders have guided this
organization for one hundred
years and are central to the
success of the next 100
years. The PTC is the place
where outstanding volunteer
leaders are shaped. We
invite you to build on your
leadership skills by
attending one of the many
specialized courses offered
during the summer of our
100th year. Take some time
to look through the great
selection of courses being
offered. Don't forget! A
week at the PTC is a great
way for the
family to spend some
quality time under the
beautiful blue skies of New
Mexico.

 Get
in the Game! with Geocaching
For our 100th Anniversary
Celebration, the BSA is
tapping into the outdoor fun
and excitement of geocaching
and inviting you along for
the adventure! Through Get
in the Game! geocaching
events, Scouts and
non-Scouts alike will search
for prizes in this
fast-paced, outdoor quest.
It's a great way to share
interesting and useful
Scouting skills — and
outdoor adventure — with
today's tech savvy kids.
Put simply, it's a high-tech
treasure hunt. Players hide
containers, called "caches"
or "geocaches," outdoors and
then share the coordinates.
Then, other players seek
them out using GPS
navigation devices. It's
fun, challenging, and
interesting for individuals,
families, and groups. |

Join at any time of year by
contacting the local
Pack,
Troop, or
Crew. Most scouting
programs are based on grade
or age and do not require
prior scouting experience.
Join any Pack, Troop, or
Crew. You do not need to
be a member of the school,
parish, religion,
or organization that
provides the facilities
used by a Pack, Troop, or
Crew.
Scripps-Mesa District has
several active scouting
units within the Scripps
Ranch and Mira Mesa
area. Choose a Pack,
Troop, or Crew based on:
|
Convenience.
Make sure the location
and meeting times are
convenient, especially
for units that meet
weekly. Note that
weekly meetings are
often at a different
location and time than
the monthly meetings of
the entire Pack, Troop,
or Crew, which are
listed on our
website. |
|
Friends.
Consider a Pack, Troop,
or Crew whose members
are friends or have
compatible
personalities. |
|
Interests. Learn
about the Pack, Troop,
or Crew you are
considering. Many focus
some of their activities
on special interests,
such as camping,
backpacking, high
adventure, and more. |
|
Visitation.
Visit with a Pack,
Troop, or Crew you are
considering. Attend one
of their meetings, and
speak to one of the
leaders. Find the Pack,
Troop, or Crew that is
right for you. |
