Philmont
East Carolina Council
Philmont Contingent
Scouts, Scouters & Parents:
The dates for the next Council contingent have been established! If you have been waiting for your opportunity to hike the trails and bag the peaks at one of the most scenic places in the country, now is your opportunity! Our contingent will attend Philmont Scout Ranch beginning June 21, 2020 through July 3, 2020. These dates do not include travel time to Cimarron, New Mexico via the Blue Sky Adventure package leading up to arriving at Philmont. Plan to leave on June 18th/19th (depending on flight schedules and Blue Sky Adventure package).
A youth participant must be 14 years old (or 13 years old and have completed the eighth grade) prior to departing for Philmont. He/she must be a registered member of a Boy Scout Troop or Venture Crew. Youth female participation is dependent on the availability of a female adult participant. All participants will want to participate in a hiking/camping training program during the prior year.
The selection of youth crew members will be on a first-come-first-served basis (In-Council has priority), and slots are filling quickly! The contingent will include up to 12 members. The first 8 youth & 4 adult applications received at the Council Service Center (accompanied by the $100 reservation fee) will be placed on the “participant list.” Remaining applicants will be placed on an “alternate waiting list.”
The Philmont Contingent cost is estimated to be $2,450.00. Registration deposit of $100.00 is due with application by May 2020 or as soon as possible.
