We have our confirmed reservation for the Philmont High Adventure Expedition in New Mexico, June 16 – July 2, 2025! This is a Troop 26 tradition and it is one of the four national high adventure bases.
This event information is going to all members of the troop, but Scouts must be at least 14 years of age on the day of the trip and must be approved by the leaders as qualified for this 12-day expedition.
For information about the Philmont experience, go to https://www.philmontscoutranch.org/philmonttreks. We will add information about the train travel and itinerary as we develop our plan.
Estimated cost is $2,600 per Scout. Friends of Troop 26 can provide financial assistance, apply to Jyll Doubleday, President.
If you are interested, please sign up now and pay $150 to hold your spot. (More information about payment installment dates will follow.) First priority will go to the three designated leaders and up to 9 Scouts; if there are more seats, other registered adults may participate. Payments are non-refundable, but may be recouped if your seat is sold to another participant with the leaders’ permission. Though the event may seem far away today, this is the time to sign up to save your spot!
Yours in Scouting
