A crew of 10 Kenmore teenage scouts and their two adult leaders, from Boy Scout Troop 582, recently went on a life-changing summer trek through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM.
Philmont covers 214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet. During their trek Boy Scout Troop 582 hiked more than 85 miles in 11 days. Their trek also included standing on the summit of five different mountains, the highest of which was Mt. Phillips — 11,700 feet above sea level.
