Taking in a performance at the Shuler Theater is like traveling back to the turn of the 20th century, when artists performed in theaters that were even more elaborately appointed than the performances themselves. Today, the Shuler Theater is a state landmark and remains the center for performing arts in northeastern New Mexico.
More than 23,000 scouts and their families and troop masters from all around the country descend on the ranch every summer to explore and learn across 137,000 acres of rugged mountain terrain.
