Phil Scouters:
Our next mandatory meeting is Sunday February 15th, from 4:00pm-5:30pm, at Dr. Rolain's office (same as last time). It is vital we have full participation to ensure all scouts are involved in the trek selection process and have a chance to participate in possible changes in the crew membership.
We will be covering the following topics:
- Additional scouts interested in attending our expedition
- Top 5 preferred treks for each crew; thought-starter questions each scout should ponder before the meeting and be prepared to discuss:
- How long do I want to hike each day ?
- How many and which peaks do I want to summit, and are willing to do proper physical preparation in advance ?
- How early do I want to wake each morning ?
- Do I prefer more programs than hiking, or more hiking than programs ?
- Which programs am I interested in ?
- Finally, what is it that I want to get out of the Philmont experience ?
- Given each scouts' thoughts on the above questions, do we need to consider changes in crew organization / composition ?
If you absolutely cannot attend on the 15th please do the following:
- Discuss with me in advance.
- Discuss your thoughts on the questions above with your crew leader so he can represent your desires in the meeting. It is imperative everyone's voice is considered.
See you on the 15th !
Ron Razzano
P.S. Everyone should have boots at this point and should be starting to get them broken in !
