Westmoreland Fayette Council has reserved a 12-Day Expedition slot at Philmont Scout Ranch. Arrival date is July 9th, 2025.

As the traditional backpacking trek at Philmont, 12-day treks give crews the opportunity to hike for 10 days in the backcountry, with an arrival/departure day in Base Camp on each end of the journey. Crews will be welcomed and accompanied by a Philmont Ranger for their first 3 days and will participate in program activities throughout their trek. 12-day crews cover 50-120 miles over the course of their trek, and also complete the 3 hours of conservation work necessary to earn the Philmont Arrowhead Patch.

Philmont Trek participants must be 14 years of age OR be at least 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade prior to participation.

In order to reserve a spot on the crew, participants need to provide a non-refundable deposit of $150 by November 27th, 2023. If appropriate leadership registers, this can be a co-ed crew.
