Philmont Scout Ranch staff are familiar with the notion of “other duties as assigned,” and the lack of "normal business hours," during the summer season.  This is especially the case for one department in particular - Logistics.  Today, Sid Covington joins the show.  Sid worked as Philmont’s logistics manager for several summers, among other positions at the Ranch.

Sid discusses the main functions of Logistics including: Trip planning, Transportation scheduling, and Radio room communications. We chat about several improvements Sid spearheaded during his time on staff including: the refined creation of the Crew Leader copy, added accuracy to Philmont’s participant tracking system, reworking the first day arrival process for crews, streamlining NCAP prep and scheduling, and most recently - the creation of the Guidebook to Adventure: Advisors edition.
