Founded in 1938, Philmont Scout Ranch is a bustling center for high adventure and training. Youth and adults take advantage of the Ranch's camping, training, and service programs. Most activity takes place during the summer, but Philmont also offers Autumn Adventure and Winter Adventure programs. Over 1 million Scouts, Venturers, Explorers, and Scouters have experienced the adventure of Philmont since the first camping season in 1939. Throughout its existence, conscientious attention to low-impact camping techniques has helped maintain the Ranch's wilderness. The area surrounding the Ranch is rich with history, from the Native Americans who made this arid land their home, to the land barons of the 19th century.
The Garden State Council 2020 Philmont Expedition is offered to Scouts, Venturers, Explorers, and Scouters of the Garden State Council. In addition to their Philmont adventure, they will have the opportunity to explore other unique areas surrounding Philmont. The 14-day expedition will include 12 days at Philmont and 2 days for travel and tours. The tour will be confirmed after contingent members have been registered. Previous activities have included trips to Pike's Peak, the Air Force Academy, Royal Gorge Bridge, and the NRA Whittington Center. Trips are provided by Leading the Way Tours. Air Travel scheduled for Southwest Airlines.
