In 1972 Kathy Leach and Nancy Wells became the first two female Rangers on staff at Philmont Scout Ranch.  Kathy shares her reflections of the experience, how it was both a moment of apprehensive change for Philmont and the Boy Scouts of America as well as positive empowerment for her. Kathy also co-led the first Kit Carson Women's trek - today known as Rayado Women - in August of 1973.  Kathy gives heartfelt credit the many women and men alongside her, helping to shape Philmont into a human experience, welcome to all.Philmont Years:1972 - Ranger1973 - RangerPhilmont Staff Association Women Ranger HistoryNotable Mentions:Joe DavisNancy WellsRusty WellsDiana LoomisPaul MathernCasslerMargie RockenfieldCarol MunchJane MunchPat BlackJan NelsonAlden BarberJohn ClearhoughtChope PhillipsAlec FryersonSupport the show
