This is one question Chief Watchu is not qualified to answer – as they say, contact a tax advisor. However, unofficially, yes, some money adult volunteers spend on scout training, equipment, program fees, uniforms, miles driven, and travel is tax deductible. The advisor must first be a qualified BSA leader, and then it depends on how much of the expense is specifically allocated to scouting and the Philmont activities. Since all Philmont advisors must be a registered member and official adult volunteer leader of the Boy Scouts of America, they should qualify for some tax deductions.
