talking to scouts about the Naval Academy and the military. Many scouts learn about the Naval Academy for the first time through a service academy ranger, and some rangers continue to mentor scouts through the admissions process after the Philmont experience ends.
The selection process for each summer’s Philmont Rangers begins in January with an application distributed to midshipmen via email. Interviews are conducted mid spring. Midshipmen interested in Philmont should contact Lt. Cmdr. Casey Rayburg, the Philmont liaison officer, at email@example.com.
