PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH ITINERARY LIST -- 1998

For the year 2000 all itineraries, except for #1, have been renumbered. There are now 35 itineraries -- lower numbers represent the easier treks, higher numbers the more difficult ones. Mileage in the new trek books should now be more accurate.

In 1999 87% of all crews got their first or second choice of itineraries.

The trek number translation for 2000 is as follows (the 2000 trek number is listed first):

1-1	 6-5	11-new	16-20	21-15	26-11	31-2
