Philmont is part of the Beaubien-Miranda land grant, awarded by the Mexican government in 1841. Before that, it was home to the Apache and Ute native American tribes.

Not all who wander are lost. That is the motto of 12 neighborhood Boy Scouts and their guides who will cover 75 miles and climb 11,000 feet in 11 days during a trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, a 215-square mile youth camp founded in the 1930s. They will carry the full load of camping gear and such on their backs.
