Conference Schedules

Each summer, the Philmont Training Center offers weeklong courses that cover every aspect of the BSA's program—from Tiger Cubs and Scoutmasters to Endowment and Scoutreach.

Conferences are led by a faculty of outstanding volunteer and professional Scouters selected by the divisions and committees of the National Council for their expertise in specific conference topics.

The conferences are designed to discuss specific Scouting issues, share information from all over the BSA, and train using "best methods" that will enhance the Scouting program for our youth and adults. Each conference features the latest tools and techniques, audiovisuals, discussions, idea sharing, and activities.

Attendance is by invitation only. A local council must make arrangements with Philmont for a Scouter to attend these courses.

For more information about course registration, contact your local council or trainingcenter@philmontscoutranch.org.
