CAMPERSHIPS
Each year, the Council typically receives Waite Phillips Camperships to award to scouts in the Council. Applications
are due to the Contingent leader in by August 20th each year, unless other announcted. Information on the application
process and application forms are posted on on the "Applications" page when available each year. Camperships typically
range from $300-$500 and are based on need. The campership application must be filled out by the scout requesting the
aid, and not a parent or adult leader.
PHONE SERVICE AT PHILMONT
Most cell phones don't work at Philmont base camp or in the backcountry. Plus, there is no place to charge your
phone during travel, or at Philmont. There are a few pay phones in base camp, but there are usually long lines.
Don't promise your friends or families that you'll call, because it might be impossible. In base camp, Cingular AT&T has
the best service, while Sprint and Verizon have some limited service.

PACKING FOR PHILMONT
Using a packing list is a great way to make sure you remember to pack everything going to Philmont..and coming back home.
This handy list was developed for members of the BAC Contingent, and divides up your packing into items to wear, to put in
your small travel duffel, and to put in your backpack.
