Philmont Training Center at Philmont

The Philmont Training Center (PTC) is nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of
northeastern New Mexico near Cimarron. Rich in history and natural beauty, this area offers exciting educational experiences for the entire family. PTC has served as the National Training Center for the Boy Scouts of America since 1950. A variety of week-long conferences will be conducted for unit, district, and council volunteers and professionals. Each conference features the latest tools, audiovisuals, and techniques led by a faculty of experienced Scouters. In addition to hosting these Conferences, the Training Center also provides the opportunity for families to join their Scouters and enjoy a wide range of Family Programs—making the Philmont Training Center experience one of a kind. Our summer staff will lead hiking, tours, handicrafts, and other outdoor activities. A week-long backcountry Mountain Trek is offered for Venturing-aged youth (Except Week 1 and Fall Conference). Full details on programs are sent to participants upon acceptance. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
