Everyone pays the same with the Staten Island, New York council. On
occasion, where specific hardships exist, funds are found to subsidize youth
who would otherwise be unable to attend. The subsidies are not council funds
but are monies solicited specifically for the purpose from donors who have
previously expressed an interest in doing so.
In speaking with a number of adults who have been Philmont participants,
there were a great number of instances where adults kick in a bit more than
their fair share ranging from gas and tolls for shakedown hikes to the
purchase of crew equipment such as stoves or trail food for use on the
shakedown hikes.
Who said Scouting was an inexpensive hobby :)

Subject: [Philmont]: A survey
Since things have been a little quiet lately (or maybe I've been having
email problems), I'm interested in surveying some of you.
Here is the question - Are the trip expenses for the Philmont contingent
leaders of your Council subsidized or paid for?
My intent is not to generate a discussion on the subject but to determine
what is the prevailing practice in councils across the country. Please
include your council name in your response & let me know if you know for
sure or if you are guessing. To avoid clogging the list, please respond
directly to me.
TIA & YIS,
