We are so excited that the hiring process has begun for the 2009 season at Philmont. I know that you are probably excited to get your contract. We just wanted to let you know that the contracts will start getting mailed in about 1 week to 10 days, hopefully by the 15th of December. We are just waiting for some of the printed material to get finished. As soon as you receive your contract we ask you to return it as quickly as possible. Also, if for some reason you are not going to be able to accept your contract, please let us know as soon as possible.

One last thing, we are still in need of more applicants. So if you have friends that would be good, no great, Philmont Staffers direct them to the website www.scouting.org/philmont to get an application. Also, remember that we are offering the $25 bounty again this year for every new staff member that you recruit. Just make sure your name is on their application.

Be sure to come back to this blog often to learn more about the 2009 season. Also, if you have questions that should be answered through this blog, just email those to steve.nelson@scouting.org and I will do my best to answer those important questions.
