Philmont (high adventure) 2 week thing-- over $500 + 2 weeks vacation time.

I like the idea of deducting it from my tithing.

I've already been given the subtle message that the higher road is to not ask for reimbursement on anything.

I may reimburse myself from my own tithing. In that case, all of the sudden, my budget just became very large!
I think that the right thing to do is to be reimbursed for ALL of it. Scout leaders or anybody else shouldn't be asked to pay up in relation to their calling. This leads to certain callings being more expensive to have than others.

You shouldn't be expected to DO everything AND PAY for everything. That's just not reasonable. I hope that it wasn't your Bishop dropping all of these hints.
