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.


So... Why doesn't Philmont PRINT it's OWN SONGBOOKS ?!?
To much trouble with COPYRIGHT LAWS!
(Especially from non-original Philmont songs - they would have to leave those out)

Since its beginning, music has always been a part of Philmont Scout Ranch experience,
from the “Philmont Hymn” written in 1947, by J.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.
The above partial quote was taken from the CD cover liner notes originally written by Laura Foster Voss, and edited by me.
See: 'Liner Notes' near bottom of
Philsongs - Remembered Days page, for original quote.

There have always been many musically talented Staff members who perform nightly at campfires.
PhilStaffers have written 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.

Note: The Web Host had some technical difficulties,
and repeatedly lost my 'page hit' counter details for
several months. But only on some (most) pages!
I have now updated the web-hits counter
with the most recent count available.
However they are still LESS than the actual count.
