Philmont Scout Ranch 2021
16 Scouts and Adults of Troop 323 have successfully finished their backpacking trip to Philmont, and the Troop is incredibly proud of them.
Preparations started much more than a year prior to departing to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico in June of 2021. The participants were split in two teams of eight, but experienced much of the 12 days of hiking and backpacking together.
What an AWESOME experience that will stay in their memory for a long time!
