"Be Prepared - For What?  Well, for any old thing! "
one of Lord Baden-Powel's more famous quotes.
Starting back in in Dec 2005, Troop 715 has been making an effort to provide adventure opportunities for 1st Class and higher Scouts to participate in Philmont-class adventures.  You don't have to be Philmont-bound to participate.  Hearty adults are welcome to join us, too (and needed!).

We would like to mix day activities with some longer, tougher hikes and multi-night backpacking weekends.  We'll rely on Scoutcraft more and civilization less.  This is NOT car-camping!
