This is the 2010 Staff promo video. It is intended to be a PR tool to recruit staff for the Philmont Scout Ranch and it is also a great opportunity to see what goes on at base camp. More importantly, what we will have to do when we are checking in at base camp.

As you can see, these videos are also meant to show off the trading post at Philmont, Tooth of Time Traders. If you can get past the commercial, you will see that there is some very good basic information about the gear needed for our Philmont trip.
