Cantina

The Cantina program at Philmont Scout Ranch is a fun and immersive experience that transports participants to the vibrant atmosphere of an old-time Western saloon. Located at camps like Abreu and Ponil, the cantina offers a space for scouts to relax, enjoy a cold root beer, and participate in games, music, and storytelling.

At the cantina, scouts can purchase refreshing root beer, adding an authentic touch to the experience. The setting is often enhanced by staff members dressed in period costumes who contribute to the lively and welcoming environment. It’s a perfect place for participants to unwind and socialize after a day of hiking or activities.

The program also incorporates elements of entertainment and history. At some camps, the cantina serves as a hub for evening campfire programs, further enriching the sense of community and fun.

The Cantina program is a highlight for many at Philmont, offering a unique blend of relaxation, camaraderie, and historical immersion. It’s a place where scouts can take a step back in time, bond with their crew, and create lasting memories in the spirit of the Wild West.
