RE: [Philmont]: Waiting List

Some big payments are due about now and a lot of crews withdraw at this
point. Usually about 30-50 crews on the waiting list get called, but it
really varies from year to year. Since this has been a big drop off year
(possibly due to the hurricanes) already, I suspect we may see some more
than usual drop out.

However, I would suggest other plans. There are lots of great alternatives
that go wanting every year.

That said, Philmont sends a letter with your wait list number. I've never
heard of anyone over 400 getting a trek. In a "normal" non-jamboree year,
it is very unusual to get above 150 (but this year is not normal).

If you didn't get notification of a waitlist position for 2006, you should
call. If you are saying you aren't even on the waitlist for 2006, forget it
or consider a short trek after Aug 9 if school schedules allow.

Try HH, or any of the excellent council high adventure bases (White's
Landing on Catalina Island for Orange County Council is a good example), or
an international trip (you can visit England on the cheap for prices very
similar to a Philmont trek).
