While there are no formal merit badge programs at Philmont, there are several that, if managed properly, can be accomplished in conjunction with the Philmont experience. Backpacking, Camping, Hiking and Orienteering are a few examples. Scouts and merit badge counselors should work out the details before traveling to Philmont. Many requirements can be satisfied during your training program or while at Philmont. Advisors can certify in writing the completion of specific requirements, which will honored by council approved Merit Badge Counselors.
