Training and Preparations
All participants are encouraged to start a WEEKLY exercise/training program to prepare for this adventure. For the most part, this is something each individual needs to do on their own. That said, our troop will organize various weekly/monthly events where everyone can train together. Additionally, as we get closer to our event, we will schedule overnight hikes that will include various aspects such as packing, cooking, site set-up/tear-down, etc.

Payment Schedule
The following is a summary of the payment schedule for all participants. Most of these dates are driven by external factors, such as the due dates imposed by Philmont and other travel expenses. Please note that, unlike our previous Sea Base trips, registration for Philmont is by person, not by crew.
NO REFUNDS – Nearly all of the payments submitted by the troop are non-refundable. Therefore, all payments submitted to the troop by youth or adult participants should be considered non-refundable.
