Product Description |
|
Join Bill Cass as he returns to Philmont as an expedition advisor and father, over two decades after having left the Ranch as a summer staffer. · Find the adventure brought to young campers and their adult advisors in Philmont’s high country. · Travel the length of the 137,000-acre Ranch with the author and other rangers as they prepare campers for their rugged backpacking experience. · See Philmont from the perspective of a young man charged with the successful management of a key staffed camp. · Climb to the heights with a typical expedition, and experience the thrill of reaching the tops of Philmont’s "magic mountains." In Return to the Summit of Scouting, young campers discover themselves through trial by terrain and weather, accomplish goals through teamwork, and apply the basic skills of Scouting as they have never been applied before. |

Philmont revisited |
|
I enjoyed reaquainting myself with places and adventures I had experienced when I was much younger. The unique camps that were described came flooding back into my memory like I had just been there! I recommend this book to anyone who has been to Philmont, on any level. I just wish there had been a nice map attached. Azure skies forever! |

A great read for all who love or want to know more about Phlimont! |
|
William Cass has written a GREAT book that describes Philmont and its experiences as well as anyone could do on paper. The reader should keep in mind and as Mr. Cass points out in the introduction the book to a large extent is his journal and the thoughts and events that happened in his life while for the most part at Philmont on staff, on the way to or from Philmont and then back as an adult advisor to a crew with his son. It's a great story, makes interesting reading for all of us who love Philmont or who just want to try and understand what its all about! I want to go back to Philmont (IWTGBTP)! |

Return to the summit of Scouting |
|
I throughly enjoyed author Bill Cass' stories about his Philmont experiences. His tales are well crafted and help the reader relive the fun and adventure of the Philmont Scout Ranch. I do not know why the next review features such spite for Mr. Cass (jealousy?). The reviewer has violated the 4th point of the Scout Law. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has been to, or is planning a return trip to Philmont. It is excellent reading. Wally Meyer - Philmont Ranger (1978 & 1979) |

An arrogant, pompus show off |
|
I read this book and was extremely disappointed. This book is about Mr. Cass first, then Philmont. If you like reading about a mid life crisis, this is your novel. |

Thanks For The Memories |

I came across this title, purchased it from Americancivilwar and relived my 1972 trip to Philmont. This is a must read for anyone who's ever been to Philmont. |
