RE: [Philmont]: Philmont Openings!!

Recall 2005 is a JAMBOREE year, and in 2001, they got to the 300's (I
believe) on the waiting list, rather than just around 100 as normal. Since
the Jamboree ends in early August, I would think this may be a factor in the
"larger than normal" cancellations, just as it was in 2001. Whether Francis
remembers 2001 (or was at Philmont then) and is referring to it being larger
than "jamboree normal", I cannot say.

  Francis advised that they have experienced a "larger than normal" amount
of cancellations. She advised that they are working to fill the openings
from the waiting list. That is the original waiting list that was
established last year during the lottery. Francis stated that they are not
adding any new units to the waiting list as it is already an extensive list
and they do not expect to exhaust it.
