PHILMONT 2013 COUNCIL CONTINGENT LOTTERY PROCESS
Reservations for the year 2013 council contingents will be conducted through a lottery process. Listed below are the procedures for the Philmont sign-up:

1. Lottery registration forms must be submitted to the Camping Department by Feb. 1, 2012. Reservations may be mailed but must be postmarked by Feb. 1, 2012, and received by 2 p.m. on Feb. 7, 2012. Mail to:   Camping Department, Greater St. Louis Area Council, 4568 West Pine Blvd., St. Louis, MO  63108-2193.
   
   
2. A full crew is comprised of 12 participants. The participants can be from the same unit or cooperating units. You must be realistic when estimating attendance to avoid unnecessary expense or forfeited fees and to permit the maximum number of units to make a reservation. All fees, deposit, advance and balance are nonrefundable and nontransferable to the balance in the event of cancellation. No unit will be allowed to make reservations for more than two crews.  Units are responsible for full payment of fees of the number of reservations made for the lottery. 
   
   
3. All crews of the council contingents will consist of 12 participants. The Camping Department reserves the right to rearrange or add to crews in order to meet the 12-member crew size.
   
   
4. A lottery drawing will be held at 2 p.m. on Feb. 8, 2012. Units will be notified of their placement in the lottery via email by Feb. 10, 2012. 
   
   
5. Units that are placed in a council contingent must submit individual registration forms and deposits by March 1, 2012. Any unit that fails to submit the registration forms and payment by Feb. 23 will lose its placement and the next available unit on the waiting list will be contacted. If mailed, it must be received by Feb. 23, 2012, not postmarked on that date.
   
   
6. Keeping with Philmont's policy, units with a confirmed 2012 reservation may not place a reservation for the year 2013. Units or individuals may not attend two consecutive seasons at Philmont. The council's Camping Department will verify attendance information with Philmont.  Reservations may not be transferred from one unit to another. The council's Camping Department will maintain a waiting list and will contact the next available group in the event of a cancellation.
   
   
7. The cost of the council contingent for 2013 is $980. A nonrefundable deposit of $155 per participant must be included at the time individual registrations are submitted to the council's Camping Department. The fee for 2013 will include bus transportation and 3 additional travel meals in the price; dinner and breakfast going out, dinner on the return (breakfast on your own).
