Fellow Scouter:

I would like to extend an invitation for you to participate in a 2016 conference at the Philmont Training Center near Cimarron, New Mexico.

For over one hundred years we’ve been on an incredible journey to help young people Be Prepared. For Life. The key to our success has always been trained leaders, both volunteers and staff. You’ll find attending training at Philmont is a true “mountain top” event for both you and your family. The faculty, staff and other participants are carefully selected to insure an exceptionally helpful, practical, and inspiring training experience.

While you attend the training sessions, your entire family will be invited to participate in a full range of age appropriate, unique to Philmont, activities. Philmont is known for providing life-time memories and life-changing personal experiences to all who visit. If possible, I encourage you not to miss this unique opportunity for a family adventure.

Core to the mission, purpose, and culture of Philmont is to return home ready and willing to partner with your local council by sharing the knowledge gained with other Scouters. A Philmont training experience will deepen your skills in helping deliver quality Scouting experiences to ever more young people!

I hope you’ll share the information in this flyer with your family. Then, since many conferences have limited attendance, I encourage you to register soon. I hope that you and your family will accept our invitation and can join us at the Philmont Training Center in 2016!

In gratitude and appreciation for your service to young people through Scouting,

Robert M. Gates National President Boy Scouts of America
