[Philmont]: lottery with troop and crew from same chartering org

After 3 years as a scoutmaster, topped off by our first Philmont trek this
past summer, I have found a worthy replacement and stepped down. My plan
now is to start a Venture crew at our school which is already the chartering
org for the troop and pack. My question is how can we get two Philmont
treks at the same time? One would be for the crew and older scouts and the
other for the younger scouts. It would be nice to have them on the same
dates for transportation purposes. Can both units apply for treks in the
lottery? If you can is that fair? If it isn't fair do people do it anyway?
If the crew got two treks and the troop didn't I'm assuming that the scouts
in the troop could go with the crew. If the troop got two treks and the
crew didn't would the female members of the crew be able to go with the
troop? Lastly, does applying for multiple treks reduce your chances of
getting any?

Thanks,

Bill Summers
