Elder Wilson, spent thirteen summers as a Chaplain at Philmont Scout Ranch. For him, the beauty of being a Chaplain was the privilege to be able to serve the entire ranch - staff and participants alike. Philmont is a place where you can experience numerous faiths in action, attend services, and simply be still in the presence and wonder of nature. For Elder Wilson, the team of Philmont Chaplains were there for each other, a band of brothers - they would often meet to discuss the best ways to comfort, console, and celebrate when giving birth announcements or death notices.He reminds us that sometimes the best counsel given is to look and listen twice as much as one speaks.  He attests to the reputation of Chaplains and their backcountry driving tendencies, he celebrates the ministry of presence, and discusses future growth of the department to include improved resources such as professional therapists or counselors, to work in conjunction with the Chaplaincy.Philmont Experience:1996 -Trek Advisor 1988 - current: Assorted PTC Courses (participant and/or faculty)2002-2015: Chaplain for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 2003-2015: Chaplain Coordinator Notable MentionsRabbi Ziek PalnekCharles OsborneJay TelravPadreFather Donald HummellCharlene WilsonMark AndersonDoug PalmerCharles DuranJohn CelleyKevin StickelmanNate LayBob MosherBucko's DadSupport the show
