How does one apply to be a member of a Patriots Path Philmont crew?
There are almost always openings for individuals in crews going to Philmont the coming summer – anyone interested should submit and individual application as soon as possible. For the summer of the following year (18 months away), applications for both units and individuals are accepted after January 1. Unit applications must be submitted by the Friday before the fourth Tuesday of January to participate in the lottery held at 7:00pm prior to the January High Adventure Committee meeting. The lottery is used to allocate the crew slots in the five Patriots’ Path contingents and to develop a Waiting List, if necessary. Individuals will be assigned to less than full crews before September. There is no charge to units to participate in the crew assignment lottery; individuals should submit the required deposit (a portion of which is non-refundable) with their application.
