Well so far, our group has been very.. scattered to say the least. I went to Philmont three years back and didn't have much of my own equipment and was thus borrowing and honestly don't remember much of what I brought.

As for the tents, my Tadpole will hold two (small) guys comfortably especially with no gear, so that I am not worried about.

My sleeping bag also has a silk liner in it, along with the fact that I sleep warm, so that is not of big concern.

I do have a pair of Merrell boots that I wore last time we went, so they are very broken in and comfortable. Plenty of miles in those.

You mentioned group cooking? When I went we were each issued individual "sacks" of various freeze-dried and no-cook items. Seemed sort of individual to me, but maybe things have changed.

Already went ahead and put on a prefilter. Had a mesh filter already in place but I went the cheap route and just put a coffee filter on over that.

One major issue I have currently is with adjusting my pack. In our area, there are no big camping stores, nor small ones for that matter, and I do need help refitting my pack. I just readjusted the torso length and cannot get the hip belt to sit correctly to distribute the weight. Just noticed this on a 9 mile hike up Old Rag and back down.
