Discover
the wonder of "Scouting's Paradise"
Philmont's
signature program is the High-Adventure Expedition. Available each summer
from early June to late August, each 12-day expedition provides opportunities
for participants to
- Explore the high country in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico.
- Experience the thrill of climbing mountains over two
miles high.
- Participate in a wide array of activities that teach
Scouting skills—archaeology, backpacking, camping, climbing, fishing,
forestry, horsemanship, Indian lore, and much more.
- Develop leadership, group dynamics, wilderness problem-solving,
and outdoor skills.
Crews hike Philmont's mountains, spending nights at various
backcountry camps. At staffed camps, crews can participate in a variety
of programs presented by Philmont backcountry staff. Among these programs
are horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, rock climbing, .30-06
rifle shooting, archaeology, mountain biking, and interpretive programs
such as homesteading and mountain man rendezvous.
Since Philmont's first camping season in 1939, more than
820,000 Scouts, Venturers, and their leaders have participated in the
rugged challenge of its backpacking program.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits your group of Scouts
or Venturers as each crew conquers the challenge of a Philmont trek.
