Are you looking for the ultimate high adventure
experience? Well this is no ordinary camping trip! You will
enjoy 13 days at the BSA's premier High Adventure base, the world famous
137,000 acre Philmont Scout Ranch , including 11 days of
backpacking the beautiful trails of the Rocky Mountains. Exploring
mines, horseback riding, fishing, rock climbing, fur trapping, archeology,
burro packing, and climbing mountains up to 12,000 feet tall are just a
few of the things you'll experience!
Those of us in
the Northwest often ask "Why should we go to those mountains when we have
our own?" Anyone who has ever been there can answer that, but there
is a lot more to Philmont than just hiking in the mountains.
If you have
Scouts who are at least 14 years of age by September 1, 2011 and who are
interested in attending Philmont next summer, contact Mark Griffin at the
Council Service Center for more information. Adult leaders are also
needed! Costs include the 13 day backpacking adventure of a
lifetime, plus food and transportation. The payment schedule will be
established as soon as fees are set. The 2011 Philmont fee is
$725.00 per participant. Transportation and incidentals are
typically close to $600.00 or more. The $100 deposit (transferable
but not refundable) is required with the application. Anyone on the
waiting list will swap spots with anyone one month or more delinquent in
their payments.
This is the one you have been waiting for! If
you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, download an
