Now that the Scouts of Melrose Boy Scout Troop 68 have left on their trip to Philmont Scouts Ranch I have been thinking about my trips to the ranch, and the DVD I have in my collection known as The Philmont Documentary Collection. It is one of my favorite Scouting DVD’s. I was even able to chat with\u00a0Larry McLaughlin, the producer and creator of the DVD, during a Leader’s Campfire podcast episode. (More of that interview can be heard at\u00a0https:\/\/www.melrosetroop68.org\/blog\/?p=1920<\/strong><\/a> )<\/p>\n

Recently, while browsing Facebook, I scrolled across information about another DVD about the ranch. It is a collection of 40 short films created by David E. Carter during the years of 2006-2008.\u00a0The\u00a0DVD includes segments on all 36 of Philmont’s backcountry camps, as well as 3 special features. \u00a0It was only sold for two years in the Philmont trading post, and has not been available since then.\u00a0This newly-edited version includes additonal content that has never been seen before<\/span>. It contains over two hours of video.<\/span><\/p>\n

It looks like this is a DVD I need to add to my collection. The price of $22 includes shipping. Not a bad price if you ask me. My only wish is that it was filmed in high definition, but alas, it was created before all the new tech was readily available.<\/p>\n

Do you plan to order yourself a copy?<\/p>\n
