  10. ON THE TRAIL • Live and die by the duty roster: cooks, cleanup and water • No tent mates doing the same job together • Assign crew gear for the entire hike • Gear does not get lost, crew members know how gear fits in their packs

  11. ON THE TRAIL • Stop and smell the roses • It’s not a race • You are only going to get one chance to see Philmont • Work with your crew advisors

  12. IN CAMP • When coming into a new camp, perform crew tasks first • Crew leader finds the new site • Crew tarp goes up first • All crew gear comes out of packs and is placed under tarp • Bear bags go up • Water gets purified • Personal tents go up

  13. IN CAMP • Get out of camp early • Get bear bags down • Personal gear and tents packed • Crew gear packed away • Tarp taken down • Hike 1 or 2 miles, then have breakfast at a scenic spot along the trail. • Practice getting out of camp early during your shakedowns

  14. CREW LEADER OBJECTIVE Keep the Group Together Get the Job Done

  15. SIX SIMPLE QUESTIONS • Did the job get done ? • Was it done right ? • Was it done on time ? • Did everybody take part ? • Did they enjoy themselves ? • Do they want more ?
