The Philmont Experience:
Philmont Scout Ranch offers a unique experience that is not risk‐free. Knowledgeable staff will instruct all participants in safety measures to be followed. Be prepared to listen to and carefully follow these safety measures and to accept responsibility for the health and safety of yourself and others.
Age Requirement
Participants must be registered members of the BSA who will be at least 14 years of age OR completed 8th grade and be at least 13 years of age prior to participation.
Each participant must be able to carry a 35 to 50‐pound pack (approximately 25% to 30% of body weight) while hiking 5 to 12 miles per day in an isolated mountain wilderness ranging from 6,500 to 12,500 feet in elevation. Summer/autumn climatic conditions include temperatures from 30 to 100 degrees, low humidity (10 to 30 percent), and frequent, sometimes severe, afternoon thunderstorms. Activities include horseback riding, rock climbing and rappelling, challenge events, pole climbing, muzzle loading shooting, 12‐gauge trap shooting, .30‐06 shooting, trail building, mountain biking, and other activities that have potential for injury.
Philmont requires that all participants meet the height/weight limits found on the BSA Medical Form and on our website.
