PREPARING FOR THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCEPreserving Scouting's Paradise for future generations! For seventy years Philmont has been considered thefinest youth camping and backpacking area in the world. Over 840,000 youth and adults have hiked themagnificent trails, camped in pristine campsites and enjoyed spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.Everyone must do their part to help preserve this wonderful place by fully committing to Philmont'sWilderness Pledge!The Wilderness Pledge areas of emphasis are:LITTER and GRAFFITI '- Each camper should make sure that all trails and campsites are left neat and clean.Camping Headquarters should be left in a like manner.WILDLIFE - Respect Philmont's wildlife, including livestock. Follow all guidelines regarding food handling andtrash disposal. Never feed or harass wild animals.WATER - You are in a land where water is scarce and very precious. Conservation and wise use of water hasbeen practiced since the first man entered this land. You must continue this proper use. You should neverbathe, do laundry or dishes in or near springs or streams. Everyone needs water, and you should alwaysleave springs and streams as clean as you found them.TRAILS - Pledge yourself to respect all trails of Philmont. Do not cut green boughs or trees or mark on them.Do not cut across switchbacks and do not alter or change trail signs.CAMPSITES - Camp only in sites designated with a numbered wood block sign. Each crew is responsible forleaving a neat and orderly campsite, whether it be in Camping Headquarters, staffed camps or trail camps.Your campsite must be left litter free with its latrine and sumps clean. Carry out all trash. Fires must be leftDEAD OUT and then cleaned of debris before you depart. Leave a courtesy woodpile when possible. Youshould respect the feelings of those crews camping near you and those that will come after you.Low impact camping is practiced on Philmont property. These techniques along with the Wilderness Pledgekeep Philmont pristine and natural.Leave No Trace camping and hiking methods are used in the Valle Vidal lands in agreement with the CarsonNational Forest and have brought Philmont and Scouting high praise. Crews trekking into the Valle Vidal willbe instructed in Leave No Trace techniques.CONTRIBUTE TO PHILMONT'S CONSERVATION PLANThree hours of conservation work is expected of each camper to earn the Arrowhead Patch. Ten hours ofconservation work is required for the Fifty-Miler Award. The three hours earned at Philmont can be applied tothe Fifty-Miler Award - the other seven may be acquired back home. Three hours must be spent doing trailconstruction or other projects supervised by a trained Philmont staff member.Philmont has several conservationists located strategically throughout the backcountry. The best location foryour crew to perform a project will be shared with the crew during final trip planning at Logistics. If youritinerary does not include a project area, Logistics staff will identify an alternate project.Most conservation projects at Philmont consist of trail construction or repair. This is vitally important when20,000 people use the backcountry each year. Other projects may include watershed, timber stand, and fishhabitat improvements. Long pants and hiking boots are needed for all projects.2008 ITINERARY GUIDE 11 PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH, BSA

ANNOUNCING 2008 ITINERARIESPhilmont's pristine backcountry remains so, largely because of the preplanned itinerary system. With 35itineraries to choose from, a crew can take advantage of many unique program features and select a hike thatmeets the physical ability of each crew member.Following a preplanned itinerary helps Philmont know the location of each crew for contact should anemergency arise. This plan is also a vital part of Philmont's overall conservation and wilderness ethic.Each itinerary is reviewed annually and many do change. When selecting your 2008 itinerary, DO NOTUSE A PREVIOUS BOOK or rely on any itinerary you might see on the internet other than Philmont'sofficial website www.scouting.org/philmont. THESE ARE THE ONLY OFFICIAL PHILMONTITINERARIES!TIPS FOR SELECTING AN ITINERARYFirst of all, the itinerary must be a youth decision! The choices, five of them, must all meet each crewmember's physical ability and should be ones that the crew is willing to hike, if assigned. Itineraries areassigned on a first come, first served basis.Many crews receive one of their top three (3) choices, however, if a crew sends in their card very late orselects the same itineraries as many other crews, they may be assigned their 4th or even 5 th choice.The itinerary should be a balance of exciting program features (many of which are repeated at severallocations) and quality hiking. Every itinerary offers a full Philmont experience.CHOOSING THE CHALLENGEMost crews choose either a challenging or rugged itinerary. Hiking with a heavy pack in elevations from 6,000to 12,000 feet is a major physical challenge. It is not possible to "acclimatize" by spending a few days atelevations one is not accustomed to. Altitude sickness can usually be avoided by not sleeping above 9,000feet for the first few days on the trail. Philmont considers this and many other factors when planning theitineraries.Youth participants are usually fully capable of mastering the challenge. Many adults who lead sedentarylifestyles have great difficulty and could potentially be placing themselves in harms way. Refer to pages 20 and21 of the Council & Unit Planning Guide.ITINERARY RATINGThe rating or degree of difficulty of each itinerary is determined by many factors such as mileage, elevationchanges, number of layover days, days to carry food, distances to water sources, and topography, to name afew. A little practice using the enclosed Philmont map will show many areas where there are steep climbs anddescents. The contour lines on the wall map represent 80 foot intervals. The closer the brown contour linesare together, the steeper the trail.A "Challenging" itinerary will allow the crew more time for program. It also allows time to do some interestingside hikes, visit backcountry trading posts, take showers and just enjoy the solitude of the backcountry trailcamps.A "Rugged" itinerary, although offering more physical challenge, is very enjoyable for a crew that has trained.It also offers lots of exciting program.2008 ITINERARY GUIDE 12 PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH, BSA

A "Strenuous" itinerary is just as it sounds. A great experience for a crew of physically fit, older ScoutsVenturers and capable adults. More time is devoted to hiking, however, a well prepared crew can stillexperience several programs. Many seasoned crews who have hiked together several years choose astrenuous itinerary.A "Super Strenuous" is, by far, the most difficult and, for a small but dedicated group of Philmont crews, themost rewarding! These few itineraries are highlighted by climbing some of Philmont's highest peaks andhiking long days of many miles. These itineraries should only be attempted by older more experienced crewswhere every person is in exceptional physical condition.PHILMONT ITINERARY NUMBERPhilmont assigns the same itinerary each day to two crews only. Each crew must hike independently. If twocrews from the same group choose to do the same itinerary, they need to make the same five (5) choicesand submit their cards together. The maximum crew size is twelve (12), minimum crew size is seven (7).Crews are to have a majority of youth participants and the maximum number of adults 21 and over is four (4).CREW RENDEZVOUSOften crews from the same contingent would like to spend time in the same camp. This rendezvous can beplanned by choosing itineraries that would be in the same camp on the same day. Please refer to theItineraries At A "Glance on pages 16 & 17.SELECTING YOUR ITINERARYThe three tools your crew needs to make their five (5) top itinerary selections are:1. The Philmont wall map included in this packet. After your crew receives itinerary confirmation, they maywish to purchase one or more section maps suggested for more accurate navigation.2. The Guidebook to Adventure which gives a brief description of the available programs.3. This PHILMONT TREKS - 2008 Itinerary Guide.Many crews determine their own unique method of choosing their top five (5) itinerary choices and some triedand true methods are:1) Based on your conditioning program, determine the level of difficulty that best suits the crew.2) Have each crew member select their five (5) favorite program features from the list in the front section ofthis book.3) Tally the votes for each program and use the page at the front of this treks guide, Philmont Programs IItinerary Numbers I Camps.The description page for each itinerary, located opposite the sketch map and elevation graph, lists the mostcommon programs for that itinerary. Crews are not required to participate in each and every one, some maynot interest your crew or weather may hinder your participation. A few programs such as Chuck WagonDinner, Horse rides and the use of Burros for equipment packing require scheduling when the crew leader andAdvisors meet with their trip planner in Logistics.BURRO PACKINGIf your crew chooses an itinerary that includes burro packing and is assigned that itinerary they MUST TAKETHE BURRO. Not only is Burro packing a real part of Philmont's history and lore, it's a great way to lighteneveryone's load.2008 ITINERARY GUIDE 13 PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH, BSA

RESERVING YOUR ITINERARY FOR 12 DAY EXPEDITIONSAs soon as the crew has determined their top five (5) different choices, indicate them on the itinerary selectioncard located inside the front cover of this TREKS book, and return to Philmont immediately.Cards may be mailed first class, sent by Fed Ex or UPS, or by any other delivery service. PLEASE SEND THEORIGINAL CARD, DO NOT SEND DUPLICATIONS OR ATTACH LETTERS, THIS WILL SLOW DOWNYOUR ITINERARY ASSIGNMENT. Be sure the card is filled out completely and that it is legible. You willreceive confirmation by email if your email address is legible and correct. Otherwise, you will receive apostcard confirmation by regular mail. Please do not attempt to fax, phone, or email your choices to Philmont.SHORT TREKSShort Treks, 7 to 9 days, are scheduled on specific August dates only. If your crew has a short trek approvedby Philmont, an itinerary will be created for you approximately one week prior to your arrival and will bereviewed by your crew and a trip planner at Logisitics when your crew checks in. Your customized itinerary willbe based on your program preferences and your desired degree of challenge, and will be in accordance withPhilmont criteria for Ranger Training, acclimatization, and location of other crews.Because the numbered itineraries in this treks guide do not apply to short treks, please use the "special" ShortTrek postcard attached to the cover of your 2008 Treks Itinerary Guide that will ask for the following:1) Numberof days of your trek (7, 8 or 9 DAYS) in the upper left of postcard.2) List of five (5) top choices of programs your crew prefers on the itinerary choices lines. Use"mountaineering" to indicate a preference for climbing a specific Philmont landmark (example ­mountaineering - Baldy Mt.).3) Crew's desired degree of challenge (Challenging, Rugged, Strenuous, or Super Strenuous) in the upperright of postcard.4) To complete the rest of the information requested.5) To mail postcard to Philmont not later than June 1.VALLE VIDAL ITINERARIES· A UNIQUE EXPERIENCEEach year Philmont plans a number of very special itinerary opportunities starting and finishing on Philmontproperty, but venturing into the spectacular Valle Vidal section of the Carson National Forest. This 100,000plus acre wilderness borders Philmont in the vicinity of Dan Beard Camp, Rich Cabins Camp and Philmont'sNorth Ponil country, and is home to New Mexico's largest wild elk heard. As a part of Philmont's special useagreement with the Forest service, we agree to do meaningful conservation service and practice Leave NoTrace camping on the Valle Vidal.Some of the most popular programs such as mountain biking, search and rescue, astronomy and folk weatherforecasting are located at the Valle Vidal camps of Whiteman Vega, Seally Canyon and Ring Place. Anothergreat feature of the Valle Vidal is the ability for a crew to 'bushwhack" from location to location using only mapand compass or GPS. There are few established trails.Philmont's crews that trek into the Valle Vidal are shining examples of Scouting's commitment to being goodstewards of the national forests. As our public lands become less wild, it behooves us all to take advantage ofthis rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of the amazing Valle Vidal. Each crew that successfullychooses a Valle Vidal itinerary will receive a Valle Vidal section map at no charge. Additional section or wallmaps may be purchased at the Tooth of Time Traders' online catalog by visiting www.toothoftimetraders.com.ON THE TRAILWhether hiking on Philmont, the Valle Vidal, or our neighbors' land by permission, crews are expected to travelresponsibly - stay together, practice Scouting values; use proper wilderness ethics.
