Crew member contracts

Below are several sample crew member contracts that have been developed by various groups going to Philmont.  Having a contract with a crew member provides a number of benefits:

  1. Sitting down with the prospective crew member and his/her parents provides an opportunity to insure that they understand what they are committing to.

  2. Reviewing the contract you decide to use/develop provides the framework for setting expectations of attendance at shakedown, fundraising, payment schedules, other activities.

  3. It provides a "comfortable" way to eliminate a crew member that is really interested -- if they have not been fulfilling their commitment, they are in violation of the contract.
