Dear Friends:

A few years ago I had the opportunity to work as a Ranger at Philmont
Scout Ranch, an amazing 137,000 acre High Adventure facility run by the
Boy Scouts of America in northern New Mexico.  Quite simply, the
experience changed my life.

I am writing to let you know that each summer Philmont hires about 1000
young people (minimum age: 18) to provide leadership for the 22,000
people who will use Philmont every summer.

To be a great Philmont staffer, you have to have a positive attitude of
service, a willingness to learn and share new skills, the ability to
work hard, and an interest in meeting people from across America who
share the values of the Boy Scouts of America.  (You don't need to have
been a Boy Scout or Girl Scout, but you'll need to join when you start
work at the camp.)

To find out more about the Philmont staff experience, please check out
this YouTube video, which was made by members of the seasonal staff:

If you or someone you know might be interested, please email me and I'll
make sure you get an application.

All the best.
