Philmont Scout Ranch is one of four National High Adventure Bases operated by the Boy Scouts of America National Council.  Situated in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern New Mexico, Philmont has challenged hundreds of thousands of youth and adults over its 70+ years of service.  Our council continues a strong relationship with Philmont, and we have again been allocated several crews for our youth & adults to be challenged by an expedition.

Crews will have 12 persons in them, at most 4 of whom will be adults (21 or older).

Youth (male and female) must be at least 14 by July 6, 2013, or be at least 13 and have completed 8th grade.

Youth can be as old as age 20 since this will be a Venturing expedition.

All members of the contingent crews must meet Philmont’s weight limits as described at www.philmontscoutranch.org

At least one adult in each crew must complete:

 Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills

Wilderness First Aid, offered by American Red Cross

CPR Training, offered by American Red Cross or American Heart Association

Payment Schedule:

Total fee per person is $810 *

$100 Deposit due Thursday April 19, 2012

$355 payment due Wednesday, September 19, 2012

$355 payment due Tuesday, Febrary 19, 2013

Additional costs for transportation and meal costs (during travel) will be determined by each crew.  Two trail-ready t-shirts will be provided to each participant.


Priority will be given to youth and adults from Quivira Council; members of other councils are welcome to participate in open positions. Priority will also be given to those who have never been to Philmont, or at least not in the previous two years. Participants may be individual youth and adults, or several youth and adults from one unit. Members from one unit may be divided among two or more crews.

* This deposit is non-refundable, but is transferable to another person. Deposits will be refunded to those persons not selected in the available positions.
