Philmont Inflation

This past weekend, the PLC decided to add Philmont to the 2011 calendar so I was online checking for registration dates. If you want to receive a registration packet, you should send a request to camping@philmontscoutranch.org now. It's also not too early to gather interest from scouts so you can request the right number of crews before the end of November.

I also found the preliminary Philmont fees for 2011.

Are you ready?

Are you sitting down?

I searched around for fees from past years, and here's the Philmont fee over the years, per person:

2004 -	$475
2005 -	$495	+04%
2008 -	$560	+13%
2009 -	$595	+06%
2010 -	$620	+04%
2011 -	$725	+17% !!!

Ouch, I'm hoping that is a typo or else 2011 is going to be a pretty expensive trip.
