CD’s and cassette tapes are sold by Philmont, at the
“Tooth of Time Traders” and the Philmont Staff Association.
===> How to BUY the CD's and get around the PSA website. <===
So... Why doesn't Philmont PRINT it's OWN SONGBOOKS ?!?
To much trouble with COPYRIGHT LAWS!
I was told by the TOTT Manager that it would cost $40 per songbook  just for the copyrights!
(Especially from non-original Philmont songs - therefore they would have to leave those out)
-- No money changes hands from this website --
-- No problems! --
I receive no compensation for producing, maintaining and updating this web site.

It is created using a non-HTML coded program, “Yahoo! SiteBuilder”.*
For under $13 per month you get 5,000 (MB) of Disk Space Usage and 200,000 (MB) of Data Transfer Usage.
I currently use just 25% of the allotted disk space, and I get more than 1600 web hits monthly.
There have been a total of over 37,000 hits, so far.
Tech Support, has been excellent for the few times I have needed it, and has always been in American English!

*(You do not need to know any HTML, it is automatically created by the program, you never even see it!)
If you are fairly competent using MS Word or Excel, then SiteBuilder is an easy learning curve.

Since its beginning, music has always been a part of Philmont Scout Ranch experience,
from the “Philmont Hymn” written in 1947, by John B. Westfall ...to the bawdy ballads.
There have been songs sung around campfires and on the trail by the Philmont Staff,
and in the rows of the regular Staff and in the Ranger Tent Cities,
and at nearby Coffee houses and Beer halls, when they get a well deserved day-off.


There have always been many musically talented Staff members who perform nightly at campfires.
PhilStaffers have written original songs about the Philmont experience, others have adapted songs to fit.
.
Often standard music has become popular as a “Philmont Song”.
Musical styles run from: Ballads, Cowboy Western, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Traditional, Blues and Rock.

The Songbooks are written in MS Word for Windows XP.
There are some with two versions:
"With Graphics" and "Without Graphics".
All of the songbooks also come in a PDF version.

I think you will find the songbooks a "slight improvement"
from the older Philmont Songbooks.
