Philmont expeditions are available to Scouts and Venturers who are at least 14 years old by January 1 of the year they will be attending or have completed the 8th grade and be at least 13 years old prior to participation. Each crew must have at least seven and no more than 12 members, which must include at least two (but no more than four) adult advisers, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and the remainder of whom must be at least 18 years of age. All participants must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America.
Crews may be drawn from a single unit, or may be composed of members of different units within the same local council. Coed Venturing crews are welcome to attend, but they must attend as a chartered unit and be accompanied by at least one male and one female adult leader, both of whom must be at least 21 years old.
Note: Philmont does not have facilities to accommodate family members of advisers or youth members who are participating in the camping programs. Several motels and trailer parks in Cimarron are available for those interested. Prior reservations are recommended.
