2025 Council Philmont Contingent 

It is every Scout’s dream to experience the ultimate camping experience and THE outdoor adventure of a lifetime. Individual Scouts are encouraged to register. This is a great opportunity for a Scout to get a chance to go to Philmont if his Troop is not able to attend in their own crew.

The Council is offering an expedition to Philmont Scout Ranch from June 16 th, 2025 through June 28 th, 2025. (Our dates are now confirmed for our Council Contingent number 616-200 however the travel time(s) will be confirmed, once our flight(s) are set with the airline/van services).

Philmont is BSA’s High Adventure backpacking base in the Sangre de Christo range of New Mexico in the southern Rocky Mountains. Participants will backpack more than 50 miles in the back country of New Mexico, participate in unique programs and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our contingent is limited to 40 youth and 20 adult leaders so apply early. Scouts who have finished the 8th grade or are 14 years old at the time of departure can attend.
