NCAC High Adventure Committee

Here are Important Facts To Know about Unit Reservation Dates and Procedures for booking 2022 adventures:

Lotteries:
Only Philmont continues to operate a lottery system to reserve expedition dates in 2022. Northern Tier and Sea Base are first-come, first-served open registrations.

Dates:
Philmont Lottery System opens on (as of today*) October 5th and closes December 1st, 2020. Lottery selections will be made randomly by computer after December 1st (i.e., reservations will not be assigned in the order that requests are made). Units may now enter the Philmont lottery in consecutive years. Go here to download a 2022 registration info packet with explicit instructions and processes.
Northern Tier Open Registration opens on (as of today*) October 7th for 2022 Summer Treks (all bases) and January 19th, 2021 for Winter (2021-22) Treks. There are limited numbers of treks available on each date, so having backup dates when making a reservation is essential. Reservations are first-come, first-served; you will know immediately if your request is available and must pay a $250 deposit. Go here for registration information.
Sea Base also operates on a first-come, first-served basis – but the opening date (as of today*) is coming soon. Reservations are immediate and so is the deposit due ($250). Go here for 2022 reservation details; check back frequently for when the system will open – also check their page here.

*NOTE: as of late today (Wednesday, September 23rd) National BSA is looking at pushing these registration dates to something later. Check the Base websites for up-to-date info.

Not too early to start thinking about next summer! Make sure to share.
