"Do"

Do - 2003"

Age: 14
Rank: First Class
Troop Position: Patrol Leader
Nickname/s: Pillsbury Do Boy

Favorite Camp: Ponil
   The Cantina Show.  The beginning of our madness and my first shower at Philmont.
Worst Camp:   None
   I liked all the camps especially the ones we had to use iodine in the water.
Worst Thorn: No horse riding
   In each of the camps that had horse riding as an activity were booked.  We did not get to ride the horses.
Best Rose:   Shooting my Hat
    At Sawmill camp we were allowed to shoot at our own stuff.  I put my hat as a target on the range.  Now it has many holes and memories of Philmont.
Favorite Trail Lunch:  None
    The lunches were all about the same.  I liked the Gatorade mixes for the water.
Favorite Trail Dinner: Black Beans and Rice with Green Beans
    Most of the dinners were OK, but I liked the Black Beans and Rice. It was very good and spicy.
Favorite Trail Breakfast:  None
    The breakfasts were all about the same.
Favorite Activity:   30.6 rifle shooting
    I was able to put holes in my hat.
If I went again I would bring...   Gameboy and MP3 player
    I would bring them for the long train ride.
If I went again I would not bring... Sunscreen, bug spray and extra trail food.
    I did not use any of these items.  I also did not use my tooth brush or tooth paste.  It was always in the bear bag.
Would I go again?   Yes
    Because Philmont is one of the best experiences I have had and the more the better.
Activities I would like to see on the next Trek Black Powder rifle shooting, shotgun shooting and 30.6 shooting.
