The Philmont Training Center (PTC) is nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northeastern New Mexico near Cimarron. Rich in
history and natural beauty, this area offers exciting educational experiences for the entire family. PTC has served as the National Training Center for
the Boy Scouts of America since 1950. A variety of half week and week-long conferences will be conducted for unit, district, and council volunteers and
professionals. Each conference features the latest tools, audiovisuals, and techniques led by a faculty of experienced Scouters. In addition to hosting
these conferences, the Training Center also provides the opportunity for families to join their Scouters and enjoy a wide range of family programs—
making the Philmont Training Center experience one of a kind. Our staff will lead hikes, tours, handicrafts, and other outdoor activities.

Fellow Scouter,
I would like to extend an invitation for you to participate in a 2021 conference at the Philmont Training Center near
Cimarron, New Mexico.
Together, we’re on a journey to help young people Be Prepared.For Life. The key to our success has always been
trained leaders, both volunteers and staff. You’ll find attending training at Philmont is a true “mountain top”
event for both you and your family. The faculty, staff, and other participants are carefully selected to insure an
exceptionally helpful, practical, and inspiring training experience.
While you attend the training sessions, your entire family will be invited to participate in a full range of age
appropriate, unique to Philmont, activities. Philmont is known for providing life-time memories and life-changing
personal experiences to all who visit. If possible, I encourage you not to miss this unique opportunity for a family
adventure.
Core to the mission, purpose, and culture of Philmont is to return home ready and willing to partner with your local
council by sharing the knowledge gained with other Scouters. A Philmont training experience will deepen your skills
in helping deliver quality Scouting experiences to ever more young people!
I hope you’ll share the information in this flyer with your family. Then, since many conferences have limited
attendance, I encourage you to register soon. I hope that you and your family will accept our invitation and can join
us at the Philmont Training Center in 2021!
In gratitude and appreciation for your service to young people through Scouting,
Roger C. Mosby
President and CEO
