Philmont Scout Ranch

Philmont Scout Ranch is a large, rugged, mountainous ranch located near the town of Cimarron, New Mexico, covering approximately 137,500 acres (556 km2) of wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico. The ranch, formerly the property of oil baron Waite Phillips and now that of the Boy Scouts of America, is a National High Adventure Base in which crews of Scouts and Venturers take part in backpacking expeditions and other outdoor activities. It is the largest youth camp in the world in land area. Between June 8 and August 22 around 22,800 Scouts and adult leaders backpack across the Ranch's extensive backcountry while over 1,200 seasonal staff personnel maintain the Ranch's summer operations.

Philmont is also home to the Philmont Training Center and the Seton Museum. The Training Center is the primary location for BSA's national volunteer training programs. Philmont is also operated as a 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. It was formally identified in 1994 in North Ponil Canyon by the Anasazi Trail Camp.
