Philmont hires over 1,300 summer staff to provide backcountry programs, food service, retail operations, training opportunities, maintenance, conservation, ranching, retail, medical services, museum/archive management, and support/administrative positions (essentially standing up a small city every summer). The majority of positions coincide with the summer season, from late May through mid-August. Base salaries begin at $1,190/mo or higher with room & board included.

The Philmont Staff is a diverse group of people from all around the United States and abroad coming together to “Deliver Wilderness Adventures That Last a Lifetime!”

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship, pass a background check, and be willing to become a member of the Boy Scouts of America while employed (though previous Scouting experience is not required). Applicants available for the entirety of the summer season are given preference.

Anyone interested in working at Philmont Scout Ranch is encouraged to apply. More detailed information, job descriptions, and our online application can be found here: https://www.philmontscoutranch.org/jobs/jobdescriptions/
