My brother is going to Philmont in August. Also I heard last year someone died from the flooding.

Yeah, they put their tent in the wrong place, and when they were asleep, a flash flood happened, and dragged the tent down. They found the body the next morning.:(

Ah, terrible. I heard someone say at NYLT it was a 40 foot wall of water, they weren't sure if he died on impact or drowned.

Yes, that's true. I was in Colorado Springs when it happened, and we were within a few hundred meters of the site on our own trek the following week. Needless to say, we were all very careful when we selected our campsites.

Yep, something like that.

Yes, it was a flash flood. I didn't get to experience any, thank god, but I've been told that they sound like a locomotive.

Me too. I remember that my cheeks hurt for a good half hour afterwards, because I was smiling too much.

I am an Eagle Scout and work part time as a membership executive for my local council.  I also direct the STEM program during summer camp.

Way to go!

Forgot about this thread for a bit, but I ranked up to Life Scout last Tuesday.

Congratulations! Any idea what your Eagle Project will be?

Yeah, I've been trying to think of ideas.

Find something you like. Do that.

I like history, so I did an oral history project. Be creative, and when you find something you like, don't take "no" for an answer. It's your project, not your mom's, Scoutmaster's, or SPL's.

Wow... my name is not on the thread. I'm an Eagle Scout (1987) with three silver palms (45 merit badges above Eagle). Explorer Achievement Award (1988), OA (Brotherhood), with Scouter's Key, Commissioner's Key, and Silver Beaver.
