Silver On the Sage

Jessica Seifert Godwin - Women of Philmont V


Listen Later

As a youth, Jessica was eager to join BSA Venturing and her Philmont story began as a family affair, pioneered by her father, who is also a Philmont alumni (1976).  As a seasonal wrangler, Jess enjoyed participating in both ranch and backcountry activities, broadening her understanding of program and her circle of friends.  Today Jess works full-time for the Ranch Department.  She talks about the solitude and "God" moments of living and working on horseback, alongside the sacrifice and long-days dedicated to the livelihood of livestock.  Jessica is the first full-time female employee of the Ranch Department at Philmont Scout Ranch.
