How it works
- 1Pick a direction and date (or join an interest-list date). All shuttle dates are finalized by June 1. We will add scheduled shuttles without a minimum on certain dates based on the Philmont individual programs. We will have those scheduled by February 1, 2027.
- 2Commit your party — we can run a shuttle with a minimum of 6 riders. There will be 14 seats available on each shuttle. Once a date is open, individuals can join.
- 3Share one set of flight and contact details for the whole party (airline, flight number, arrival/departure time as needed, mobile, email, emergency contact).
- 4Submit your request and pay by card at checkout (includes a 3% processing fee). Under 6 riders? Your card is saved, not charged, until the date reaches 6 (48 hours to pay if the charge fails). Still under 6 at 30 days and not approved? The date is cancelled, you are not charged, and we email a one-click offer to switch to the nearest running date. Within 24 hours of departure: pay in full + Main Event approval before confirmed.
FAQ
- How does shared shuttle pricing work?
- Each seat is $125 one-way. Round-trip is simply two one-ways ($250/person). At checkout a 3% card processing fee is added to the shuttle fare (total charged = fare × 1.03).
- When does a date “open”?
- We can run a shuttle with a minimum of 6 riders. There will be 14 seats available on each shuttle. Once a date is open, individuals can join. Until the minimum is met, your booking sits on the interest list with your card saved, not charged. We will add scheduled shuttles without a minimum on certain dates based on the Philmont individual programs. We will have those scheduled by February 1, 2027.
- What happens if I book a date that doesn’t have 6 riders yet?
- If your date has fewer than 6 riders, your card is saved but NOT charged. When the date reaches 6 riders, we charge your saved card and email you that your shuttle is confirmed. If that charge fails, you will get a payment link and have 48 hours to pay, or the seat is released. If the date is still under 6 riders 30 days before travel (and we have not approved it to run), it is cancelled and your card is not charged. We email you a one-click offer to switch to the nearest running dates in the same direction; your saved card is charged only if you confirm a switch. If no running date is available, email bookings@scouttransport.com for options.

The total includes a 3% card processing fee on top of the shuttle fare. We’ll confirm seats by email or phone. Last-minute bookings (within 24 hours) require payment in full before Main Event confirms.
