Re: [Philmont]: Cost of Trek

We're 725 miles from Philmont. We had 22 campers in two crews.

The adults decided that the contingent would travel by motorcoach,
something I wouldn't have done due to the cost. However, that's what they
decided so that's what took place.

The per person cost for our trek was $888 As follows:

Philmont Fee $495

Motorcoach Fee $300

T-Shirts (3 for each person plus a
  shirt for each ranger) $ 18

Meals, Snacks and Tooth of Time Traders $ 75 **

Side Trip to Oklahoma when the coach
  driver took a wrong turn in Lubbock PRICELESS

Scoutmaster's Top 10 List commemorating
  their Oklahoma side trip waiting
  for each crew member when they got
  off the trail NO CHARGE

** I'm sure that some people spent more at the ToT Traders.
