[philmont] Philmont 2008 - Priority in Lottery

I don't think you read his post correctly. The Troop got a trek in 05, so they were only waitlisted consecutively two years, 06 and 07, same as their Crew.
The policy from Philmont does not include years before 04, so those don't matter. However, under the old phone in system, I don't recall ever seeing checks and balances on the application process as to consecutive year treks, that seemed to get caught when you actually got a trek. It was sort of an honor system thing then, the internet process catches it now.

The data seems to support hte fact that you have to be waitlisted all four years, 04-07 to get priority as we have units reporting in with no waitlist at all getting a trek and once or twice waitlisted not getting a trek. So far, we only have one troop that claims to have failed with the four year criteria, but that poster (haven't succeeded since 1999) did not say they were actually on the waitlist all four years, so I don't know if that is a data point or not. If they were waitlisted, offered a trek when their number came up, but could not go on the short notice, I think that would have taken them out of the priority potential. We just don't have the facts on that one.

  By the criteria, you were wait listed all 4 years 04 to 07, so you should have been at the top of list. Not sure how you were waitlisted in 03, since you trekked in 02.
