Each p t\!$On must have a current record of havingreceived hill tetanus &hots or a booster within twelvemonths of arrival a t Phi lmont . This area, with all thenoreee and other anhnals . mates this very Important.Those who do not have their record with them will bei1ven a booste r by our doctors and wtll be charged for themedicine.

Equipment fo r All Weathe,

We can onlY generalize on t he weather. It Is cold atnight in the mouctarn eoun try. Early on a J uly morning,YOU may find a t hin c:rust of Ice over the water sen.You can also look for rain. Poss ible saowere every day .These do not usually Iw;t long and are not unco mfortable.but rainy weather can last much longer. Night rll1nsmay occur. also. sonenoe and ground clothB are essen tial.Make eure YQur expediti on prepe.tes for all typea ofweather.

Equipment fo' Bock-Pocking

Camping at Ph ilmon t may be somewhat differe nt thancam ping In ma ny areas. It Is rugged m ountain countrysuitable for back-packing. EverytNng yOU take withyOU Including tood must be packed on your back. ThUll.extremely heavy sleepin g bags or other heavy art1cJesof personal lIt'8l' or equipme nt would not be advtsable.

A suttable pack or frame 18 highly deetrsbie. PackFrames may be rented upon your a rrt vej at Philmont Ifdesired.

Equipment - Footgeo,

SInce tho two-foot method of transpo rtatton Is mOllteommon at PhUmont, the eautpment. and care of yourfeet 1lI hi ghly Irnportant . select shoes of the right s~.

Be sure t hey are big enough so YOU can wiggle your toeefree ly but not big enOUlfh to let either your toes or heels

- .....

move sideways. You may have your own ideas aboutfoo~ar. but for mountain hiking we recommend. hi ghtops of about six or eigh t Inches with ecmrceincn soles.Before coming to Philmont . break In your trail shoe s onshort h ikes. But don't wear them out; this Is no placeto wear out old shoes - or old clothes.

For socks the white wool a th letic t ype are satis factory .It wool lrr1tates your feet, weill" whie cotton socks underthe wool.

Whe n shoes and socks are worn correctly, there Is achanllt' of air In the shoes with each s tep. Moist air comesout. and dry air goes In. te ndi ng to keep th e socks andfeet drier. Bind ing pants legs to the shoes Inhibits thisaction.

Tra yel Unifo''''

The official uniform of your post. ship. squa dron , ortroop Is hig hly recommended for travel to and from Phil.mont. The uniform has gre at value In maintaInIng mor­als and discipline. It encourages youna- men to takepride In themselves. In their unit , and In Scouting. Ithelps the group stay together. It opens doors in manyplaces along the way where the re lll1! trtends of SCout ­Ing. Upon your arrival a t Philmont. your travel unt formcan be sto red in a lock.er or lef t to be la undere d whileyou are on the trail.

T he amount and type of travel uniform and clothingwlll be determined by eac h council and expedition In ac­cordance with needs.

Troil Uniform

Exper lenoe a t Philmont has proven that the unlformIs the best trail grab. The group that stayS In uniformstaYS cleaner and has a more satis factory expedition.This may be any official uniform of the Boy SCouts ofAmerlca. Shortll a re worn by many of th e groups andby most of our .ranget'lll on th e tra il.
