2009 Philmont Expedition

The Western Los Angeles County Council is in the process of filling two crews for a 2009 Council Philmont Expedition. The dates for the expedition are as follows:


  • Saturday, August 1, 2009 - Depart Los Angeles via Amtrak
  • Sunday, August 2, 2009 - Philmont Bus and Early Arrival
  • Saturday, August 15, 2009 - Depart via Philmont Bus
  • Sunday, August 16, 2009 - Arrive Los Angeles via Amtrak

This will be a council contingent made up of Scouts and Scouters from WLACC. The fee is anticipated to be $1,400 per person. This is an all inclusive fee covering transportation, food and all incidental expenses for the two week expedition.

Reservations are first come first served. The remaining spaces are expected to fill up very quickly. A deposit of $347.50 per person is due immediately in order to hold your space with the contingent.

Training hikes will be required. Some can be done with your home unit and others will be required crew training hikes.

Initial reservations and questions should be directed to Jeff Feldman, Council Contingent Leader, at (818) 535-9494 or jfbf@ix.netcom.com.

There are still spaces available for adults as well.
