• Due to the cost of this event, once a deposit is made the participant is responsible for the entire payment of $1300.
  
• If a participant drops out and can find a replacement for his/her slot, then the replacement can pay the participant for the amount already paid. Replacements must be approved by the Philmont Planning Committee.
  
• A participant who drops out and cannot find a replacement is responsible for the entire payment unless a refund can be obtained without increasing the cost to other members of the contingent.
  
• If a participant who drops out and is unable to get a replacement desires to appeal this refund policy, it may be appealed to the Troop Committee. The Troop Committee may vote to allow a person to drop out of the group and receive a full or partial refund, but the Troop Committee will have to fund any refund out of Troop funds and not the Philmont Trek funds.
