I picked up the 2004 reservation information when I got off the trail Aug
6th. "Council Contingent Reservations for 2004 will be taken during
September 2002. A reservation fom will be mailed to each Scout Executive in
August. Each council will be asked to freeze their reservation at or below
their 2002 or 2003 level"

If your Council plans on going to Philmont this is the best way to be
guarenteed a slot because Councils get first choice.

"Individual Unit Reservations for the year 2004 will take place on Saturday,
November 9, 2002. A registration information packet will be mailed to all
interested units during October 2002. Units may request this information by
contacting Philmont Scout Ranch at 505-376-2281 x 225.

1. Telephone reservation will be accepted one day only - Saturday, November
9, 2002 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, Central Standard Time, on a first come,
first served basis at the following number: 1-800-962-4000.

2. Callers may place crew reservations for members of their chartered unit
only, but are not limited to one crew (maximum crew size = 12 participants),
however please be realistic when estimating attendance to avoid unnecessary
expense (forfeited fees) and to permit the maximum number of units to make a
reservation."

Hope this helps, there is additional infomation on what happens when the
2004 treks reach capacity and what happens when you get on the waiting list.
This past year I believe I read there were over a 1000 units on the waiting
list.
