Description:

July 2005: at the closing campfire, they showed a video collage of many Philmont scenes. They then followed that video by reading a letter to a Scout's grandfather who had been at Philmont years ago. They then showed this video of Waite Phillips and his friends and the original Philturn camp of 1941. There are numerous scenes of Waite and friends touring the Southwest (Devils Tower, Yellowstone).

It is puzzling isn't it? Source is unknown. Almost like some early scout troop filmed their trip to Philturn (yes!) in 1940? and it included stops at many famous western landmarks? That's my best guess?

I've seen it twice and it is touching. Do you know the name of the song being played?

The song is called "October Sky," from the movie soundtrack of the same name October Sky about some kids launching their own rocket. The soundtrack CD is very hard to get and prices seem to be over $60!!

Hi, thanks for the note. Was it the same closing with the video of Philmont scenes, the modern Boy Scout composes a letter to his grandfather as he sits by the campfire, and then this historical video?

I WANTA GO BACK TO PHILMONT!!! The best tribute to philmont ever. There are only 249 views of this video on October 7, 2007 but everyone of those viewers looks back on those times as the greatest times of their lives and know that it will last with them forever. I love the place. I would go back in a heart beat. Cheers to Waite, to philmont, to the staff, to The Boy Scouts of America. I WANTA GO BACK TO PHILMONT!!!
