[philmont] Taxes

I seriously doubt that any council will provide a letter of this type.

However, Scouter Thomas Turba has written a paper on Taxes and Scouting.
I can't find his latest update but most of the information in the paper
located at this web page should still be current.

Here is the specific quote about Philmont fees: "The fees you pay as a
leader for attendance at summer camp, cam-porees, jam-bo-rees, conclaves,
Philmont trips, Sea Base trips, Northern Tier trips, etc. are deductible."
