Stay & Play

Acclimation day at Philmont Base Camp. Get medical recheck done, see the museum, learn the place. The altitude is already working on you — drink water, move easy, and go to sleep early.

Activities

• ▸Medical recheck during Stay & Play — height and weight check, possible blood pressure check, review of medical forms, and a medication check. Bring all medications in original containers.

Scheduled Programs

• ▸National Scouting Museum — Scouting history, Philmont history, and context for why this place matters
• ▸Villa Philmonté, the Phillips mansion — a tour of Waite Phillips' historic home and how Philmont became part of Scouting

Opportunities

• ▸Tooth of Time Traders if time allows
• ▸Additional low-key Philmont walking or downtime — stay moving and hydrated

• ▸Hydrate all day. Altitude starts working on you before the trail does.
• ▸If you have an inhaler, EpiPen, allergy medicine, prescription medicine, or other required medication, keep it organized and ready for medical recheck.
• ▸Sleep matters tonight.

Watch for

• ▸Medical form or medication surprises discovered at recheck
• ▸Doing too much today and burning energy before the trek
• ▸Late bedtime

Crew leader focus

Keep the day calm. Get medical recheck done. Use the museum and Villa tour to build meaning.
