The Philmont Forum

Al Thompson first shared this in the message board and on the Philmont mail list.  I wanted to move this out front so everyone can see it.  I'll also activate the web links for ease of use.  Hope you don't mind Al.

The 2010 Treks book information is now available online. You can download the entire book, or review itineraries individually at a glance.  The itinerary selection process has changed starting in 2010, and the process will now be done online.  The itinerary selection process does not begin until Monday, March 29, 2010, 12:01 AM CDT, and is not available until that time, but be sure to complete your Itinerary Selection Worksheet prior to that time so you will be ready to complete the itinerary selection process online (which is is first-come, first-served method).

 2011 Philmont Registration Pkt

Registration requests for 2011 Expeditions for Philmont Scout Ranch will be made on the internet beginning
November 1 thru December 5, 2009.

Note on units receiving priority treatment in the lottery:   Reservations will not be assigned in the order that registration requests are made. Reservations will be pickedrandomly by computer at the close of the registration request period beginning December 6. Special Note: Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams and Venture Crews who have officially been on the waiting list for the past four years (2010, 2009, 2008, 2007) will be given priority treatment. These units need to place a registration request and the system will place their reservation before the other registration requests are andomly considered. Units who should have been eligible for this offer but found alternate ways to allow heir youth members to participate in 2010 (i.e. participating in a Council Contingent or joining another unit and participating as part of their reservation) should voluntarily withdraw from the 2011 reservation system and honor the minimum participation requirement of every other year.
