S2 Episode 6: It's About the Work We Do
Marking the final episode of Season 2 of Hike On, this episode explores the power that challenging work in Philmont's backcountry holds for participants.

We explore this theme with a participant from an Order of the Arrow Trail Crew trek this past summer, learning what these lasting, positive impacts are and examining what benefits a special trek holds for its participants.

2022 marks two important anniversaries: the 50th anniversary of women in the Ranger Department and the 50th anniversary of the Service Academy program. For 50 years, women have shaped the Ranger Department for the better and the United States' military academies have sent students to serve as rangers, providing a valuable resource for Philmont and life-changing leadership experience for the students.

Changing lives episode
On the changing life episode Mary said she wouldn’t recommend doing another traditional trek after Rayado. Not sure if she reads these comments but just curious as to why. Is it just that it’s sort of a step back down in terms of the challenge or what was the reason.
Thanks.
This podcast was a great find
Having been a Boy Scout and getting to also take an adventure trek at Philmont I can surely agree with the life changing event my trip was.
