PHILMONT

July 10-July 24, 2027

4, 12-Day Crews

Details and planning are starting to come together. Here are some updates and general information.

PARENTS MEETING - There will be a parents information meeting on Monday, December 14 during the TroopS meeting. The meeting will begin shortly after the opening. The meeting will serve to provide updates, supply general information and offer a chance to ask questions.

SCOUTS MEETINGS - There will be two meetings for the scouts, Monday, November 30 and Monday, December 7. Both meetings will start at 6:30 pm. It is recommended that the scouts attend at least one of these. The meetings will serve to provide updates, set expectations and begin crew planning.

ADULT OPPORTUNITY - There are at least two (2) spots open for adults to attend with the male crew of the middle age group (ages 15/16). This is your opportunity to experience this once in a lifetime adventure along with your scout! Let me know if you are interested or have any questions.

PHILMONT YOUTUBE SEMINAR - Philmont Scout Ranch is holding a YouTube Seminar on Wednesday, November 18 at 8:30 pm ET (6:30 pm MT). While these monthly seminars are typically for the Lead Advisors, this one is open to all parents, as they will be discussing equipment and gear. You can visit the Philmont YouTube Channel or the link to the Zoom Call

GEAR LIST - Here is the Gear List that Philmont provided for their 2025 Treks. While it will be updated for the 2027 Treks, it would not be expected to change much. If you are looking for potential Christmas gifts, check it out. Gear will be one of the main items for discussion during the upcoming parent and scout meetings.

PAYMENTS - The payment schedule can be found below. All payments through November 15 need to be up to date in order to maintain your spot on the trek. Payments are documented in your ScoutS Scoutbook account, just like all other TroopS transactions and can be paid via check to Stephanie or electronically through the PayPal account, which is: treasurer@mpcscouting.org. Please note that all PayPal payments will be credited as the net minus any fees that PayPal currently charges.
