The state is home to the Philmont Scout Ranch. Early history (1910–1950)On May 11, 1941, the Boy Scouts of America honored Major Frederick Russell Burnham on his eightieth birthday, at Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico. Burnham had only recently returned from Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge which he had dedicated with the Boy Scouts in Arizona after a long campaign to save the Desert Bighorn Sheep.[1] In 1918, the Albuquerque Council (#412) was founded. It changed its name to the Bemalillo County Council (#412) in 1926. The council changed its name again in 1927 to the Rio Grand Area Council (#412). In 1934, the Rio Grande Area Council became the Northern New Mexico Council (#412). In 1920, the Carlsbad Council and the Roswell Council (#413) were founded. They merged in 1924 to become the Pecos Valley Council (#413). In 1925, the Pecos Valley Council became the Eastern New Mexico Council (#413). In 1927, the Gila Grande Council (#579) was formed, merging with the El Paso Area Council (#573) in 1930. In 1927, the Kit Carson Council (#574) was formed, merging with the Rio Grande Council (#412) in 1929.[2] Recent history (1950–1990)in 1955, the Northern New Mexico Council (#412) became the Kit Carson Council (#412). The council changed its name in 1976 to the Great Southwest Area Council, and again in 1982 to the Great Southwest Council (#412).[2] {{-}}Scouting in New Mexico todayThere are five Boy Scouts of America local councils in New Mexico.
