Philmont is comprised of more than 214 square miles of rugged wilderness that was gifted to the BSA in 1938 and 1941 by Mr. Waite Phillips.
This past summer, a few of our scouts had the opportunity to attend the Philmont Family Adventure Camp, while other scouts were participating in a high-adventure trek.
An article was recently published on the Family Adventure Camp that we attended in last month's Scouting magazine. In fact, here's a photograph of the magazine photographers photographing us....
Photographing them, under the Tooth of Time!
In the summer of 2020, several scouts from our chartered organization, will be traveling to Philmont to participate in NAYLE (National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience) and subsequently, a Philmont trek. The Family Adventure Camp is a great alternative for people who would like to attend Philmont, but not participate in a high-adventure activity. Or, stay at the beautiful facility - while their scouts are participating in a trek, or leadership training program.
Families with infants, all the way up to great-grandparents who were there to celebrate their 85th birthday, were seen at Philmont. EVERYONE loves Philmont!
We are so grateful that we live in a place that travel to this facility is achievable with a (long) day drive, and that our scouts - and leaders - all have an opportunity to experience this beautiful and magical space .... that has been made possible by the incredible generosity of the Phillips family.
