OA Trail Crew

[rjcluvvt]

I've searched through a lot of the posts on the forum and I realized that it would probably be a good topic to bring back up. I went through the OA Trail Crew program at Philmont and had a phenomenal time. During the summers of 2009 and 2010, I worked as an OA Trail Crew Foreman, actually leading crews throughout the summer. If someone knows an arrowman who is looking for a great way to spend two weeks in Scouting's Paradise, they should definitely check out this program.

 

The week of trail building not only brings together arrowmen from all across the nation but teaches teaches them the importance of conservation and service. Then, unlike regular treks who spend 10 days hiking a preplanned itinerary, participants embark on a custom trek, going places and seeing things that most ordinary treks wouldn't.

 

I've lead 5 treks and have seen how life-changing of an experience it all can be. You should at least check out www.adventure.oa-bsa.org or check out this video
