2011 Philmont Scout Ranch Kanik Okpik Contingent Longhorn Council (gold & Black

Description

2011 Philmont Scout Ranch Kanik Okpik Contingent Longhorn Council  (Gold & Black border
First known “double” contingent issue featuring 2 BSA high adventure bases attended almost simultaneously with members from one Troop – January 2011.
This 9 color 2 x 5 inch issue is a “must have” for any Philmont or Northern Tier collector.  Gold border was for leadership and black border for all participants
During early January 2011, a contingent of Longhorn Council Scouts and Scouters traveled north to take on an adventure that very few Scouts from Ft Worth had ever attempted – the Okpik Dog Trek!!
Troop 32 Scouts journeyed toward the Northern Tier winter camping mecca for a few days with some dependable sled dogs.
The Okpik Dog Trek introduces this unusual offering with snow covered trees and sled dogs prepared to guide
their human cargo the distance.
Although the team of dogs number more than 5, the sled dogs pictured provide a brief
glimpse of what any Scout or Scouter can do by braving the winter cold of Northern Tier adventure base.
As a collector gazes from left to right, eyes meet a departure from the snow covered ground and snow laced trees of Northern Tier landscape to the familiar “Tooth of Time” peak found at
Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
For 8 of the past 10 years, Troop 32 Scouts from Longhorn Council have ventured west toward Cimarron where the Philmont Kanik winter training takes place.
Scouters are familiar with the Tooth of Time in summer but this version sports lighter colors to emphasize the winter.
The familiar “snowflake” images on this patch reflect the snowflake logo’s used on Philmont Kanik patch issue awarded each Scout and Scouter when they have completed the training.
