Philmont Staff Association (PSA) Volunteer Vacation

September 14 - September 21

Philmont Staff Association (PSA) Volunteer Vacation

Organized with the sponsorship of the Philmont Staff Association, Volunteer Vacation engages adult Scouters in volunteer work in a similar fashion to the youth trail crews of the summer season. Volunteers will spend one week working and living in the Philmont backcountry constructing trail. Volunteers work with staff from the Philmont Conservation Department to develop trail construction skills and use them to leave a lasting impact for the thousands of participants who will use the trail in the future. At the end of the work week, volunteers have the opportunity to hike in the Philmont backcountry for a day before returning to Base Camp.
