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..

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.
Yes, there is such an animal!

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)
-- 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 have never used more than 10% of these, and I get more than 1200 web hits monthly.
There have been a total of over 25,000 hits, so far.
Tech Support, for the few times I have needed it, has always been in American English!

*(You do not need to know any HTML, it is automatically created by the program)
If you are fairly competent using MS Word, SiteBuilder is an easy learning curve.


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.
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.
