Philmont - 2011
The Boy Scouts of America's premier high-adventure base challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 200 square miles of rugged New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country.
Philmont participants must be at least 14 by September 1 of the year they attend, or have completed the eighth grade and be at least 13 years of age prior to participation. To avoid disappointment, please do not request or expect exceptions! Requirements for Philmont participation cannot be relaxed. Please visit: http://www.scouting.org/philmont/visitors/planning/advisory.html for detailed criteria that all participants MUST met in order to attend Philmont.
Delmarva Council will secure at least 36 youth and 12 adult spaces for 2011. Early registration can help us obtain additional spaces from Philmont Scout Ranch. The spaces are available on a First Come, First Served basis. Scouts and Adults will need to meet certain physical and age requirements to participate. Scouts and Scouters that do not meet those criteria should not register.
The cost for this trek will tentatively be: $1,800. The dates for Philmont typically begin the last full week of June. The fee is subject to airline costs and should be finalized in December 2010. Payments are due in the following order:
- $ 10 non-refundable deposit at signup.
