Allan feels that Scouting has given him the opportunity to spend time with people who share the same Scouting values, and have a fun time too!
For his best Scouting Experience:
I remember sitting atop of the Tooth of Time at Philmont with my Crew watching a brilliant display of lightening emanating from darkened clouds sweeping across the eastern New Mexico plain. Far below, we see Base camp where buildings look like landmarks on a map. I have had many great experiences in Scouting, but the Philmont trek has got to be the best.
