Across the country and in our own community, we know that Scouting remains one of the most valuable investments we can make to support young men and women today so they can become the leaders we will turn to tomorrow. From once-in-a-lifetime adventures to merit badges that spark interests and future careers; from campouts under the stars to service projects that leave a lasting impact on our communities; Scouting’s year-round program expands horizons and provides young people with a safe and welcoming place to learn, grow, and thrive. That is why we are committed to ensuring that all youth can experience the character-building benefi ts of Scouting regardless of their fi nancial situation. In addition to our existing council and unit membership assistance, The National Council has established a national Growing Future Leaders Fund, which is funded entirely through donations, to provide additional fi nancial support to those who need it.

  • Philmont Scout Ranch Boy Scouts of America
    PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA RAYADO TREK – 2021 Some individuals just naturally look for something exciting and out of the ordinary. For them, the enjoyment of the wilderness has special appeal. They aspire to stand on the mountain tops, scanning the peaks and valleys. Are YOU looking for adventure? Then Rayado is for you. On your Rayado Trek you will backpack with Scouts / Venturers from all over the country, and along with them, you will learn to thrive on the unexpected and unexplored. Every day will hold new challenges and opportunities. You will stand on high summits, climb rock faces, hike in the rain, and take the most challenging trails. You will accomplish more than you thought possible. Two Philmont Rangers will help you achieve your dream for adventure. Philmont Scout Ranch is comprised of 140,711 acres (219 square miles) of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rockies. Philmont has over 350 miles of trails throughout the ranch. Philmont ranges from 6,500 feet to 12,441 feet in elevation above sea level. Because of the remote setting and elevation, participants need to be prepared both physically and mentally to handle the challenges of the trek. Philmont experiences a wide variety of weather situations. Participants should be prepared for 100 degree days, 40 degree nights, as well as days of rain and even snow. All this adds to the Philmont experience. Each summer, two sessions are offered. The first session is June 20 thru July 10 with July 10 being your departure day; the second session is July 19 thru August 8 with August 8 being your departure day.
