> Transportation will be paid for from the High Adventure fund,
> approximately $200 per person will be budgeted for the train ticket
> (currently $158) and bus transportation from Raton, NM to Philmont. 
> There are also some museums that may be visited during the acclimation
> or recuperation periods, the entry fee for those will come from this
> fund as well.

> And then there is gear and spending money. If you are going to buy new
> boots, backpack, light weight sleeping bag and high tech rain gear you
> could easily spend $300-$400 or more. However, some borrowing and
> creative bargain shopping can greatly reduce that amount. Spending money
> - you should allow anywhere from $5 to over $100 depending on your
> shopping habits.   If you have any questions about gear let me know. I
> have some Philmont quality stuff that I don't think is going to get used
> next summer.
> 
> There is a big payment ($285 per spot) due to Philmont in October and
> once we get close to that we will need to start filling our blank spots
> from other troops, so don't delay, sign up today!
