RE: [Philmont] - Waiting List

In 2001 (a Jamboree year) the waiting list had 1,206 units. Number 385 was
contacted for a trek.

The 2005 list has 1,457 units. I would guess that anyone over #300 has a
slim chance of being contacted. And, even if contacted, it's not just a
matter of having your number come up, but also your crew being able to go on
the dates you are offerred.

If you are 700+ I would suggest going to Northern Tier. ;) They still
have openings for most time periods. Check it out at
http://www.troop764.org/NorthTier/ I personally like Northern Tier the best
of the National High Adventure Bases.

You might also try promoting the heck out of the Jamboree in your council!

Good luck to everyone on the waiting list .

2005 is a Jamboree year, so they often go deeper into the waitlist than in
'normal' years -- we were at 180 something in 2001, I believe, and got to
go.

As of July 28 Philmont had contacted #90 on the list. I would think they are
over 100 by now.
