BAC Philmont Contingent

Welcome to the web site!

We hope that this website, sponsored by the Baltimore Area Council volunteer Philmont committee, provides you with valuable information.

"Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America's oldest national high-adventure base. It covers 137,000 acres - about 214 square miles - of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains in northern New Mexico.

Thirty-four staffed camps and 55 trail camps are operated by the ranch. Philmont has high mountains dominating rough terrain with elevations ranging from 6,500 to 12,441 feet."

Before you know it, your crew will be ready to begin your "mountain top experience" at Philmont! This site is intended to help you prepare for your trip with the Baltimore Area Council Contingent, to make it the best possible experience for you and your crew.

Yours in Scouting,

Mimi Hatch

BAC Philmont Committee Chair
