Michael Stamat, North Carolina native, joins me for a witty chat, discussing his four years working security staff at Philmont. Hop in the car and journey with Stamat from coast to coast, as he picks up staffers along the way, and arrives at Philmont in time for summer staff training. Go behind-the-scenes with Stamat has he de-bunks myths of mischief and shares stories of the chance situations that security staff encounter. Life-long Scouter and camper, Stamat shares a unique and full-circle perspective of the many positive benefits that camp communities offer.  *Stamat had some facts wrong.  Rick informed him that the Red Dawn scene was NOT filmed in Cimarron, but was filmed in Las Vegas, NM.  Thank you Stamat for getting us the correct information!

Stamat would like to ask folks to reach out to their local Council and sign up to be merit badge counselors, offer to help with High Adventure crew preparations, or get involved with local troops/packs. "We can't forget that without Scouting, Philmont won't exist."
