team, working for the good of all, is something that
only an Advisor can experience. It is truly rewarding
to see these young men, who will be in positions of
leadership tomorrow, develop the art of living together
and working for the common good.
Harold C. Jeth, Advisor, Kankakee, Illinois

We had the privilege for the first time of seeing wild
turkeys such as our ancestors hunted, also deer that
we could get fairly close to and take beautiful pictures.
N. A. Bramlett, Advisor, Topeka, Kansas
* * *
Working together for almost two weeks in the out-
doors points out the necessity and desirability of co-
operation. Too often in this day and age everyone is
thinking of working only for himself.
Paul M. Smith, M.D., Expedition 805

In my ten years of Scouting experience, I have never
encountered more beautiful, suitable, and rugged camp
sites.
Nicholas Ciasullo, Scoutmaster
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
* * *
These past twelve days of tramping and camping have
been quite an experience for us Hoosiers . . . the walking
got a bit rugged for us flatlanders, but the views were
a reward for the struggle.
George G. Fassnacht, Advisor, Indianapolis, Indiana
* * *
The experience we had at Philmont was a rugged,
demanding activity that put to use most of our Scouting
skills.
Ed Harding, Advisor, Pasadena, Texas
* * *
The boys all learned the value of teamwork and co-
operation under conditions we have never seen before.
When it was over, I felt good to think that we had
relived some of the hardships of our country's pioneers
and had followed some of their very own trails.
Olaf F. Hauge, Advisor, Syracuse, New York

As an Advisor who has just finished hiking 60 miles
over Philmont with 24 boys, I am still breathless, but
with the beauty and grandeur of the country.
Robert B. Christianson, Advisor, Fair Lawn, New Jersey
* * *
I have never had a more thrilling or enjoyable camp-
ing experience. The opportunity to live in the great
outdoors under almost complete natural conditions is
something that is unforgettable.
James E. Banks, 1/Lt. USAF
Colorado Springs, Colorado
* * *
Coming from the canyons of New York City to the
canyons of Philmont and witnessing first hand the
majestic splendor of the Southwest was a thrill we are
sure the boys will never forget.
Charles Richmond and Michael C. McGee
Staten Island, New York
Once a boy goes through this ranch it makes more of
a man of him ... a better citizen of him through his
meeting boys from all over the country.
Thomas H. Middlesworth, Advisor, Bellevue, Ohio
* * *
Our expedition has just completed one of the greatest,
most enjoyable experiences of our young lives. I say
young because I feel as young as the six young men
who were with me.
Robert W. Scott, Advisor, Houston, Texas
* * *
None of the boys had ever been west of Chicago, and
the chance to see the grandeur of our country will leave
its mark on them.
Frank P. McCord, Advisor, Allendale, New Jersey
* * *
It has been a great experience to witness the change
in a boy as he learns to live in this wonderful cathedral
of nature.
Ned C. Kromkop and Frank D. Gustafson
Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania
* * *
This is my third trip, and every boy I have brought
was improved physically and spiritually by the trip.
John N. Pohl, Warsaw, Missouri
* * *
Our boys have learned to live alone in "raw"' nature
and see this land as close as possible as it was in the
early days of the Southwest.
John R. Tyr, field Scout executive
High Point, North Carolina
* * *
I have two sons, and I am looking forward to the
day when they will be old enough for a Philmont
adventure.
Robert D. Jones, Advisor, Washington, D.C.
* * *
As we climbed the peak of Clear Creek Mountain, I
said, "We don't have to sing 'God Bless America.' We
can sing 'God blessed America.' "
L. Raymond Vermilion, Advisor
Northeast Ohio Council
* * *
To taste the waters of clear creeks and fresh mountain
air; to feel the softness of moss and the strength of
rock and the warmth of sun and campfire, the cool
caress of night air and rain; to hear the murmuring
waters, the whispering pines, the song of birds, and the
voice of God; to smell the lavender and wild flowers
in the canyon, the smoke of cooking fires, the sap of
pine and juniper in the heat of day; to see the beauty
of nature as unspoiled as created — the quiet lake, the
white rushing freshet, the hillsides clothed in green,
the lavish abundance of wildlife, the historic and pre-
historic sights.
All senses combine to stimulate appreciation and make
a man out of a boy.
Hans C. Schilling, Delaware County, Delaware
