I am the High Adventure Coordinator for Troop 431 from Minsi Trails Council in Allentown, PA. I have learned a great deal from rediang and studying Dr. Bob's posts on Philmont and his AT blog. We are preparing for a trip to Philmont in 2013 and I was wondering if the Alonzo Stagg event is open to Troops from outside the National Capital Area Council and the Chain Bridge district?Thanks Bob BSA Troop 431 East Texas, PA

One correction to the med form. The pantres need to fill out the sections called GENERAL INFORMATION and INFORMED CONSENT AND HOLD HARMLESS/RELEASE AGREEMENT which in the link below is sections A and B. In the old form (which is still valid) it is sections A and C.Please let your pantres know. I will need a form for each scout and each adult. I also need the permission slip for each scout. If your pantres can scan/email or drop them off tonight that would be great. otherwise they can give them to me on Saturday.Jim
