The greatest high adventure camp for Scouts, period. I've been here twice, and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the scenery, the facilities, and most importantly the staff. It doesn't get any better. I will be back, and my son will be in a few years. I'm hopeful that he will want to work on staff.
Philmont was a great experience for me, and I'm sure it would be for any other scout looking for high adventure. I attended the NAYLE (National Youth Leadership Experience) course here, and it was a lot of fun, as well as pointing me in the right direction to improve my leadership skills. I do wish more control was given to the scouts and less teaching was done for scouts with high adventure experience, but the trip was still beneficial. Not to mention the great veiws.
This was my first time ever to Philmont but it will for sure not be the last time! What an amazing place and what an amazing experience! If you want to.really get in touch with nature, take the climbing directors course or one of their many trdeep woods backpacking trips. Nature finds you!
Most memorable experience of my life. Went there in early July of this year and it's really an unforgettable experience. This is some of the most strenuous terrain in the country. Me and my crew endured 72 miles of these mountains throughout 12 days.
If you're planning on going here, I suggest adding Mt. Baldy to your itinerary.
I went to philmont this last weekend and I had a blast. I highly recommend you go here if you are looking for a good time while in Boy Scouts. Our crews ranger, Royce was super helpful with all of her tips and tricks on how to do things. The picture below are when our crew woke io to see sunrise on the tooth of time after a hail and thunderstorm. This was trielt a once in a lifetime experience.
