2002 Philmont Scout Ranch Expedition - Boy Scouts of America #3800676 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant outdoor photograph captures twelve Boy Scouts and three adult leaders in official BSA uniforms, posing proudly in front of a yellow expedition sign reading “Philmont Scout Ranch, Boy Scouts of America, Cimarron, New Mexico, 719 J3, 2002.” The setting is the rugged high-desert landscape near Philmont’s base camp, with arid terrain, scattered juniper shrubs, red-roofed cabins, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising under a partly cloudy blue sky. The group includes both seated and standing members, with one adult in a maroon polo seated centrally holding the sign.

This image is typically used on BSA alumni or troop history pages, scouting heritage blogs, or digital archives documenting past Philmont expeditions. It serves users seeking nostalgic recollections, troop documentation, or visual context for Scouting’s national high-adventure programs.
