Boy Scout Troop 21 traveled to New Mexico this summer.
In July, 30 Scouts and adults from Bluff Park Troop 21 journeyed to New Mexico’s Philmont Scout Ranch for 11 days of backcountry hiking and camping in the Southern Rockies.
Three different crews of 10 trekked more than 75 miles over the 10-day period. The Scouts and adults participated in programs ranging from spar pole climbing and rail splitting to black powder rifle shooting, pistol shooting, branding, horseback riding and other activities.
