consideration of multiple arrival dates, the minimum being 5 priority dates. Please do not attempt to make
duplicate reservation requests.

reservation entry anytime during the reservation request window. Please save this password. The
representative will receive a confirmation email at the conclusion of the request process. Only one record is kept
on file for each unit.
7. Once the unit reservation request window closes, the system will randomly select units to receive reservations.
When 2022 reaches capacity, groups will continue to be drawn and placed on a Wait List for the same year
(2022) to fill cancellations.
8. Units with a confirmed 2021 reservation for Philmont will be allowed to place a request for 2022. Units can
attend in consecutive seasons. Reservations may not be transferred from one unit to another or one year to

priority dates becomes available due to a cancellation.

PHILMONT ADVENTURES 2022 INFORMATION UPDATE
The Philmont Experience
Philmont Scout Ranch offers a unique experience that is not risk-free. Knowledgeable staff will instruct all participants in
safety measures to be followed. Be prepared to listen to and carefully follow these safety measures and to accept
responsibility for the health and safety of yourself and others.
Each participant must be able to carry a 35 to 50-pound pack while hiking 5 to 12 miles per day in an isolated mountain
wilderness ranging from 6,500 to 12,500 feet in elevation. Summer/autumn climatic conditions include temperatures
from 30 to 100 degrees, low humidity (10 to 30 percent), and frequent, sometimes severe, afternoon thunderstorms.
Activities include horseback riding, rock climbing and rappelling, challenge events, pole climbing, muzzle loading
shooting, 12-gauge trap shooting, .30-06 shooting, trail building, mountain biking, and other activities that have
potential for injury.
Philmont requires that all participants meet the height/weight limits found on the BSA Medical Form and the website.
Fees/Payments
The Philmont fee is charged for every participant, including adult advisors. A deposit of $150.00 per participant is
required to hold your reservation (8 is the minimum crew size) and is due approximately 30-45 days of receiving a
confirmation email. Each group must pay half of the balance of fees (advance) by October 1, 2021 with the final
payment (balance) due March 1, 2022. See payment schedule below.
ALL fees (Reservation, Advance, and Balance as indicated in the payment schedule) are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-
TRANSFERABLE to the balance of fees in the event of cancellation. Be cautious of making reservations or paying fees
for those who have not made a financial commitment.
Philmont must commit financial resources to employ staff, purchase food and supplies, and prepare for summer
operations. Participants are therefore, also required to make a financial commitment to attend. Be conservative in
making reservations to avoid losing fees due to cancellations. Additional crew participants can be added to fill a crew to
twelve members. Fees for additional participants can be included with your advance payment due October 1, 2021 the
balance payment due March 1, 2022 or upon arrival at Philmont.

trail. Each crew is required to have a majority of youth participants; the maximum number of adults (21 years and
over) is four (4) per crew.
2022 Cavalcades
