Mess Hall[]
Some scouts eating at the Philmont Mess Hall (2013)
The Philmont Mess hall is a large building with two main entrances. The 3 meals are separated into Trailbound Crews and Homebound Crews. Trailbound Crews eat first. The Crews must wait outside to line up and they split into two lines according to their bus times or how fast they get into line.
Within the dinning hall, scouts line up to recieve their platter of food which can range from chicken to roast beef sandwiches. After recieving their plate, scouts walk to the utensils area to grab eating utensils. There are also 2 salad bars, cereal stations, and drink stations to supply a hungry scout's need.
