It’s OK to stare.
Feast your eyes on Philmont Scout Ranch’s droolworthy 75th Anniversary Arrowhead patch.
As if 10 days at Philmont weren’t great enough, anybody who takes a trek in 2013 gets one of these eye-catching patches to hang on their right pocket.
In 1938, Waite Phillips donated his first gift of land to the BSA. Seventy-five years later, Philmont plans to celebrate this initial donation and the continuing legacy of the BSA’s hiking high-adventure base in New Mexico.
To get one of these patches — and the unforgettable Philmont experience that comes with it — register for a 2013 trek soon. Spaces are still available, but I wouldn’t procrastinate too long.

Wish I could go and get one to match my 50th anniversary one I earned as a youth.
Why is there no mention of Northern Tier’s 90th anniversary this summer? This program was really instrumental in setting the pace for other ventures, like Philmont.
