Photo by Wanda Beckwith Hinckley Explorers Leave for Philmont Scout Ranch Fulfilling Two Year Plan The Hinckley Explorers under the supervision of Scoutmaster Sheldon Western and Junior Scout master Elwyn Wright left Monday, July 1, for a three-week camping trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch. Philmont is the national camping camp-ing area for Explorers, given tn the Boy Scouts of America by Mr. Waite Phillips for the purpose expressed on a plaque at the patio entrance "for perpetuating faith, self reliance, reli-ance, integrity, freedom principles used to build this Great Cpuntry by the American pioneer. So that these future citizens may through thoughtful adult guidance and by the inspiration of. nature visualize and form a code of living to diligently dili-gently maintain these high ideals and our proper destiny". The Ranch is located on New Mexico highway 21, five miles south of Cimarron in northeastern New Mexico. It comprises 127,000 acres of rugged western country on the slopes of the Sangre.de Cristo range of the Rockies. The Hinckley Explorers have been planning and preparing for this trip for nearly two years. Utah is one of the few states in the nation that has never had an organized or-ganized unit represented at the Ranch. The Hinckley troop is proud to be the first to attend Philmont. One of the requirements set forth by the Hinckley Troop Committee Com-mittee for each individual boy was that they earn their Eagle Rank. Philmont is the largest Boy Scout Ranch in the world. It is rich in history with Indian lore rugged j -' .V '!' ? -v jt, "11 f 1 S& tem1 rodeo each night. The trio is named "The MeloD's" and are featuring western wes-tern songs for the Nephi program.

Photo by Wanda Beckwith pioneer and American trapper tales It is rich in wild game deer, elk, coyote, antelope, mountain lion, buffala, wild turkey, bear and bird life. Its streams abound with fish and its cool mountains harbor a wilderness of botany trees, flow-, ers and grasses. The Explorers prepared for their trip by taking a number of camping camp-ing trips to the Saw Tooth Range mountains. They practiced hiking and camping with the minimum essentials, as all the equipment, including tentage, must be carried on their back during most of the Philmont trip. Funds for the trip have been raised by the concessions at the 24th celebration, gathering scrap iron and collecting old newspapers. The trip will cover 2,000 miles through the states of Utah, Colorado, Colo-rado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. Some of the places they will visit are Moab, Mesa Verda National Park, Trinidad, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, South rim of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Las Vegas. They will be at the Ranch 12 days. The first two are spent in training. The boys are indebted to the Hinckley Troop Committee for their help in planning and preparing prepar-ing for the trip. Members of the Committee are Rodney Wright, Arthur H. Reeve, Eugene Morris and Kenneth Damron. Reported by Michael Damron. s -i U r r j r 1 |
