Cimarron, New Mexico

Covering 140,177 acres in northeastern New Mexico, Philmont is BSA’s largest National High Adventure Base. With 35 staffed camps and 55 trail camps across elevations from 6,500 to 12,441 feet, everything about Philmont is massive. Troop 49 chose a rugged, challenging and hugely rewarding itinerary covering 60 miles of trails. Low and high C.O.P.E., muzzle loading rifles, blacksmithing, sunrise hikes and so much more makes this a life changing experience.

Nestled deep in the heart of the Davis Mountains where the stars are big and bright, this camp has everything one might expect from the legendary desert mountains of West Texas. Scouts spent the week learning horsemanship and field sports, studying nature, making handicrafts, and swimming, all while nestled within some of the most beautiful canyons, highest peaks, and tallest cliffs in Texas.

Altamont, Tennessee

Located in the deep deciduous forests of the Cumberland Plateau, the average daily high here is 84º during the peak of summer.

Scouts that were 12+ at the time had the opportunity to go white-water rafting on the last day of camp, while younger scouts explored spring-fed waterfalls and caves. 

New Mexico and Colorado

Troop 49 struck out on their own to explore a myriad of amazing and challenging experiences across a huge swath of mountains.
