Troop 4 Grapevine, Texas   Troop 4 gratefully acknowledges the contributions of its Adult Leaders who make our activities possible.

December 13, 2008
 
Everyone,

Troop 4 has been awarded a 12 day trek that will start on July 13, 2010. With travel days the trip will last from July 11 through July 25, 2010.

The cost will be $620.00 + all travel cost per person.

The crew size for the Philmont trek is 12. (Minimum 2 Adults Maximum 4 Adults)

Due to the number of those that will be eligible from an age standpoint, it is possible that there will be a waiting list of those that want to go. Scouts must be age 14 by September 1, 2010 to be eligible.

If there is a waiting list for this event the list will be in order of when the signup on-line took place.

Beyond the age and medical requirements established by Philmont, the adult leadership of Troop 4 will also determine if a Scout/Adult is physically and mentally fit to go on such a trek.

In preparation for this event, there will be certain outings that the troop will have to help with understanding the physical demands and access each participant’s ability to be a positive addition to the crew that will eventually go to Philmont. All of those that are signed up and on the waiting list will be expected to be a part of these types of activities if they want to be considered for the final crew roster going on the Trek.

It is possible that someone may sign up, participate in many activities of the troop for preparation, and then a determination be made that it would not be in the best interest of the crew for that individual to go. This will leave an open spot such that if there is a waiting list the next person in line will be considered, provided that they have been actively involved in preparation.

As of yet, we have not made a payment schedule. There will be a deposit of $50.00 required to be made by all, whether you are on the primary list or the waiting list. If this deposit is not in to the Troop 4 four weeks after you sign up on line, then your name will be removed and you will have to re-sign up online which could change your position on the waiting list (if there is one).

The final crew will be set sometime early 2010 (Somewhere around January –
March). This means that to be accepted on the final crew list, you will have had to have been active prior to that time and determined that you are physically and mentally ready to go and will be a positive addition to the crew without reservation. At the time the final crew is set, all deposits and other payments made by those that will not be going will be refunded.

In the event that after the final crew is set and someone has to drop out, then only those on the waiting list that have continued to be active in the preparation will be considered. I do want to emphasize 'considered' as the adult leadership will have to determine if adding an individual will be a positive addition to the crew.

If you are wanting to be considered to go to Philmont in 2010, then I would encourage you to sign up ASAP. You will find a link to the sign up and information page on the left navigator of the web site.

THANKS!
