What an incredible opportunity! Thank you for expressing interest in the Special Order of the Arrow (OA) Trek at Philmont.  This trek isn’t just about hiking miles -- it’s about our lodge coming together, growing closer, and returning home stronger. Over nine days on the trail at Philmont, supported by a Ranger and an OA guide, our youth and advisers will experience the challenge and beauty of Philmont with intentional lodge development woven throughout. Before hitting the trail, our team will also spend 1–2 days focused on building trust, setting goals, and preparing for the journey ahead.

Dates: June 27-July 8/9, 2026

Who: Up to 3 advisers age 21+ and 5-8 youth. A youth must be 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade by date of participation.

Capacity: Only 5 lodges will be selected for this first year. Yustaga Lodge is one of those 5.
