Thank you goes out to our Scout leaders that just ended their  6 month term and congratulations to the newly elected leaders of the troop. 

Especially outgoing SPL Nick S for doing an excellent job and incoming SPL Jack D who has big shoes to fill but will come through flawlessly.

Troop 1 Highadventurers
With the Ute Park fire raging in Northeast New Mexico as we speak, Philmont has apparently cancelled our trek on July 7.  The Philmont announcement is below - this is all that we know right now.

Additionally, as a dynamic and active crew of adult leaders, discussions about ideas and options for alternative plans has just started to flow.  At this point I EXPECT (no guarantees yet) that we will get a call from Philmont that our trek is cancelled, Philmont and Amtrak issue full refunds. 

At a time yet to be planned, we will meet as a Troop and layout our options for alternate High Adventure  plans this year.  To be honest, while I am disappointed by the natural disaster in New Mexico, we have a dedicated and enthusiastic Troop, a ROCKSTAR high adventure crew and I am beyond excited about the exciting options yet to be explored in our near future.
