Five Scouts from Raton’s BSA Troop 91, and their scoutmaster Jared Chatterly, will be participating in a Philmont trek in July, 2018.  Photographed here on one of their preparation “shake-down” hikes are:  Creed Chatterly, Zeb Medina, and Jacob Edmonson.  Attending Philmont but not photographed:  Chance Kamp and Chase Kamp.

Over 20,000 Scouts from around the world visit Philmont each summer, many of them passing through Raton by bus, car, and Amtrak.
