Philmont Scout Ranch

Philmont Scout Ranch is a ranch located in Colfax County, New Mexico, United States, near the village of Cimarron. Donated by oil baron Waite Phillips, the ranch is owned by Scouting America. It is a high adventure base where crews of Scouts and Venturers take part in backpacking treks and other outdoor activities. The ranch covers nearly 220 square miles (570 km²) of wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains and by land area is one of the largest youth camps in the world.

Philmont is also home to the Philmont Training Center, the National Scouting Museum, and the Seton Memorial Library. The Training Center is the primary location for Scouting America's national volunteer training programs. Philmont is a working ranch, maintaining small herds of cattle, horses, burros, and bison.

The only documented Tyrannosaurus rex track in the world was discovered within the camp's boundaries in 1993 in North Ponil Canyon by the Anasazi Trail Camp. It was formally identified in 1994.

Scouting America operates three other high adventure camps: Northern Tier in Minnesota, as well as Manitoba and Ontario in Canada; Sea Base in the Florida Keys; and Summit Bechtel Reserve in southern West Virginia.
