Camp Roosevelt is Garden State Council’s full-service resident summer camp program for Scouts BSA troops.
Philmont Trek 2027
The Philmont Trek is the pinnacle of the Scouting outdoor experience.
In addition to providing an unforgettable adventure in backpacking across miles of rugged, rocky trails, Philmont Scout Ranch offers programs that feature the best of the Old West—horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, chuckwagon dinners, and interpretive history—alongside exciting challenges for today such as rock climbing, mountain biking, and sport shooting. It’s an unbeatable recipe for fast-paced fun in the outdoors.
Book your Philmont adventure through Garden State Council and let us handle the travel arrangements and logistics. That way, you and your Scouts can focus on preparing for the adventure of a lifetime! Any registered Scout who will be age 14 or older at the time of the trek may register—either individually or with their unit and unit leaders. Participants will also receive exclusive trek-specific logo items.
The Council registration program includes a convenient monthly payment plan designed to spread the cost over many months, giving units ample time to fundraise and budget for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Countdown to Philmont 2027
The next Garden State Council-led contingent to Philmont Scout Ranch is planned for Summer 2027. Registration is now open, and participants are encouraged to reserve their spot early, as space is limited.
Trip dates, final pricing, and payment schedule details will be announced as they become available. Early registration allows Scouts and leaders to begin their physical conditioning, fundraising, and trek preparation well in advance of departure.
