Philmont is short for Philmont Scout Ranch, an approximately 137,000 acre (215 square mile) working ranch outside of Cimarron, New Mexico, largely donated by Oklahoma oilman Waite Phillips to the Boy Scouts of America for use as a High Adventure base. Most of the ranch consists of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rockies.
