Philmont's Individual Opportunities for Scouts and Venturers
Click here to download the Philmont Individual Opportunities Brochure to learn more about attending a backcountry adventure as an individual without a crew.

Five different adventures await individual Scouts and Venturers interested in attending Philmont without a crew. These individuals become part of a crew made of individuals from around the country, and will experience Philmont Scout Ranch in ways different from our traditional crews.

If you are not able to come with a crew, or just want a different kind of experience than everyone else, then check out our Individual Opportunity Programs at Philmont Scout Ranch.
