Description
For 75 years, Scouters and their families have come to PTC to learn the latest and best techniques for teaching Scouting’s ideals, values, and skills – and enjoy the beautiful Philmont Ranch. But the story of the PTC has gone virtually untold – until now. This is a 2025 update to the original publication of The Other Side of the Road. Mark Griffin provides a comprehensive history on the Philmont Training Center.
Available for pre-order.
