Philmont 2026 Payment Structure – Starting immediately, here’s our pay schedule:
- We highly recommend using cash, check, Zelle, or Apple/Google Pay to make your payments to avoid transaction surcharges. Payments should be made at the beginning of each quarter.
- $1,725 for Philmont 2026 excursion.
- $150 Initial deposit to secure your spot by November 27, 2024
- $500 (estimated) Additional costs (road food, gas, crew t-shirt, incidentals)
- $2,225 (estimated) Total cost for Philmont 2026
- 2 scheduled payments of $787.50 per person starting in October 2025 to cover the remainder of the commitment to Philmont. October 2025, and March 2026. We will send out kind and timely reminders of payments due.
- Final Payment of $500 for adjusted costs on May 1st, 2026.
- If you would prefer Monthly payments like direct withdrawal, please contact Wally Tirado – scouter@wtirado.com to set up a Stripe subscription.
- After 12 months, collection will begin to cover the anticipated incidentals (rental van, gas, overnight fees and food to/from Philmont, crew t-shirts, and any other additional fees yet to be discussed, announced, or considered in our planning to date). Crew participants will be notified of this final cost. Any unused funds will be returned or applied to the scout’s/scouter’s account.
- All fundraising (totaled individually) will reduce payments from the end of the payment schedule. For example, a scout who earns $200 in individual fundraising will not need to pay the last 2 $100 payments.
- Scouts should fundraise or contribute their own earned-money as much as possible.
- If at any time you experience a financial hardship or have trouble with the payment schedule, please contact Ben Porter or Michael Darbe for ways we can adjust or how the Troop can help. We don’t want money to be the barrier to your Scout’s adventure!
We will send out kind and timely reminders of payments due.
