Trek basics — the info you need to know
January is the perfect time to start planning your 2010 PSA Trek. This e-mail contains the Trek basics – the information you need to get started on your journey home to Philmont. Put the date on the calendar, start recruiting your Phriends and Trek-eligible family members and sing “I wanna go back to Philmont…”.
When
The Trek will be July 24 – July 31. You will report to the Welcome Center the morning of Saturday, July 24, hit the trail on Sunday, return to base camp late Friday morning or early Friday afternoon, and leave Philmont after breakfast on Saturday, July 31. Because you will be reporting to the Welcome Center early on July 24, as a practical matter you will need to spend the night of Friday, July 23 in the Philmont area.
Cost
$380 per person

The 2010 PSA Trek is 80% sold out! 48 of 60 slots have been claimed. When this sells out, we are optimistic that we can get more slots, but to be sure you get a slot, register now! Remember, you can bring your eligible family members. If you have doubts about whether this might be the right experience for your spouse, read the article by Sharon Latimer in the April edition of High Country. Your doubts will disappear. If you have doubts about whether this might be the right experience for your non-Scouting youths, be watching for an article in late April in the electronic newsletter by Kevin Dowling, Northern Tier General Manager, explaining why the Trek is perfect for youths, even if they do not have a Scouting background.
