Why Join The PSA?

The friendships forged at PTC during Western Night? The PSA reunites you with them, through annual gatherings at Philmont, Regional Reunions, and an online community that buzzes with Philmont spirit.

Stay plugged into the pulse of Philmont: The PSA keeps you in the loop with what's happening at the ranch, from program updates to staff stories, historical tidbits to volunteer opportunities. You'll be the first to know about events, scholarships, and volunteer opportunities to give back to the place that gave you so much.

Give back to the next generation: The PSA offers educational scholarships for seasonal staff, program scholarships for individual treks like Rayado and OA Trail Crew, and volunteer efforts that keep Philmont thriving.
