During the summer of 2009, Philmont has given out over 154,000 invites to the Training Center and we hope to have at least this many names for the summer of 2010.  Please help us, help you, and recognize those leaders that can help your Council and units.  As we all know, training is a key way in making Scouting a better program. Now Philmont Scout Reservation would like to offer you an opportunity to help give your Council’s professionals and volunteers a chance for additional training.  If you are interested in getting an Invite to attend one of the below training conferences then please contact Joseph Potthast at Joseph.Potthast@scouting.org.
