QUIVIRA SCOUT RANCH MISSION STATEMENTThe Quivira Scout Ranch year-round mission is to provide an opportunity for Cub ScoutPacks, Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts to havefun, learn skills, and practice Scouting programs in the outdoors under their ownleadership. The philosophy of our Ranger, professional staff, and program staff is a totalcommitment to serving Scouts and their adult leaders to the best of our ability. In pursuitof this meaningful goal, we pledge to strive to incorporate the following items into everyQuivira Scout Ranch activity.1. Teaching & Coaching: Traditional Scouting skills will be taught to all those inneed of instruction.2. Values: All of us are committed to being good role models, always exemplifyingthe Scout Oath and Law.3. Fun: We will deliver fun-filled camp-wide programs that will be enjoyed andremembered by every youth who come to camp.4. Quality Program: An emphasis on quality and good health, with careful attentionpaid to program content, menu selections, trading post sales, and physical activitieswill be part of everything we do.In order to live up to this commitment to our customers, Quivira Scout Ranch will featurea quality, mature, energetic, enthusiastic staff providing activities that will lead CubScouts into the Boy Scout program, and help young men on the Trail to Eagle Scout.GETTING BOYS EXCITED ABOUT CAMP!This can be accomplished in many ways. Several ideas for promotion include: Take your Scouts to Quivira Scout Ranch during the "off season", and let them explore. Discuss thedifferent program areas and many historical sites around camp. Hold troop fund raising projects to help Scouts earn part of their own camp fees including the AnnualQuivira Council popcorn sale. A Scout can pay their entire camp fee by selling popcorn in the Fall andSpring. Show slides or videos of previous summer camps at meetings. These are available online atwww.quivira.org/camping. Invite former and current staff members, Leaders and Scouts to visit your troop to talk about camp toheighten the boys' interest. Invite an Order of the Arrow Unit Election/Camp Promotion Team to one of your troop meetings.Contact your District Camping Chairman or Chapter Chief for assistance with this. Talk about the Baden Powell program, Merit Badge, and other specialty programs at Quivira ScoutRanch. While on a troop campout, have a campfire and share songs, stories and skits from previous summercamp experiences. Encourage your troop to prepare for and compete in camp competitions.4

The Orderof the Arrow at the Quivira Scout Ranch is a part of the camp program and the staff attempts to bring theOrder’s ideals to life every day at camp. The Order of the Arrow has four main purposes: To recognize those campers--Scouts and Scouters--who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Lawin their daily lives, and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in suchmanner as to warrant recognition. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit'scamping program, and to help strengthen the district and council camping program both yearround and at summer camp, as directed by the camping and activities committees of the council. To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life of leadership in cheerful service to others.Chapter election teams hold Order of the Arrow elections within their districts in the spring. The Scoutsare elected by their peers and are inducted into the Order in the fall or spring at an Ordeal weekend.OA Day will be on Thursday of each session. Every member of the Order of the Arrow (including thenew Ordeal members) is encouraged to wear the OA sash, or an OA t-shirt to demonstrate OA spirit.All Arrowmen are invited and encouraged to attend Arrowman 101 during the summer camp session.Arrowman 101 is a program to help both new and current Arrowmen become familiar with theopportunities that Order of the Arrow affords its members.11

Statement regarding Open and Concealed Carry on Council PropertiesBased on the recommendation of the Program and Properties Committee and as approved by theExecutive Board of the Quivira Council, neither open carry nor concealed carry is allowed on anyQuivira Council Properties including Camp Kanza, Quivira Scout Ranch and the Council ServiceCenter. This is in the best interest and safety of youth and is consistent with the Guide to Safe Scouting(see below) and within the rights of private property owners according to Law HB 2578.From the Guide to Safe Scouting – Shooting SportsThe Boy Scouts of America adheres to its longstanding policy of teaching its youth and adult membersthe safe, responsible, intelligent handling, care, and use of firearms, air rifles, BB guns, and archeryequipment in planned, carefully managed, and supervised programs.Except for law enforcement officers required to carry firearms within their jurisdiction, firearms shallnot be brought on camping, hiking, backpacking, or other Scouting activities except those specificallyplanned for target shooting under the supervision of a currently certified BSA national shooting sportsdirector or National Rifle Association firearms instructor.Campsite details:All campers need to bring their own tents to use. QSR does not normally have tents to loan or rent soplease come prepared to support your troop or crew’s needs for the full session of camp.Most campers find that sleeping on a cot inside their tent works the best for a week-long summer camp –helping them to rest properly after a full day of fun.Campsites all have a generous amount of shade to them thanks to the great wooded areas in PioneerCamp.Campsites do not have electricity.If one of more of your campers (youth or adult) uses a CPAP or similar machine to assist sleeping, thatcamper will need to bring a battery-powered unit. Your local electronics store or medical equipmentstore may have suggestions and alternatives to suggest if you’re unfamiliar with the battery-poweredunits.13
Dear Leaders and Parents:This is the schedule for the 2015 Quivira Scout Ranch (QSR) Summer Camp Season.We will be using the online BadgeTracker system this year for merit badge and activity signup. Each troopwill receive a login to register youth and adults for programs at camp. Programs can fill up so it is important toregister participants before the online system closes one week prior to your camp session. Schedules dosometimes change and classes are adjusted so we will provide a printed schedule for each person registered forclasses at camp and a summary list for scoutmasters. Please do not print the schedules from BadgeTrackerbecause they will not show the correct times.At QSR we use a block scheduling system. Please note that the block times for Monday are different thanthe rest of the week. A merit badge or activity may require a single block or as many as four blocks. It is possibleto enroll a scout in up to twelve merit badges but most merit badges require some work outside of the classes andthe scout may have difficulty completing the badges while still enjoying the camp session. A mix of someactivities, single session badges, and multiple session badges are recommended. It is not required to have aprogram scheduled for every block.Youth and adults participating in the Tribe of Quivira program who are 2nd year campers at QSR shouldsign up for one of the camp service opportunities available on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning. Theseservice opportunities are also open to all other campers at QSR. Youth and adults participating in the Tribe ofQuivira program who are 3rd year campers at QSR may need an open block or two to carve their stone.Finger Printing and Fire Safety are two merit badges that will be offered in the Handicraft area during theopen program times each afternoon. You will not sign up for these in BadgeTrackerParticipants in rifle, black powder, and shotgun programs must attend a Rifle/BP/Shotgun Safety Sessionbefore their class session. Even if they attended a safety session in past years they must attend a safety sessionthis year. The same safety session applies to both rifle and shotgun so if a scout is enrolled in both classes theyonly have to attend one safety session. BadgeTracker will require registration in two safety sessions but we canschedule another activity by request.Participants in jet skiing must sign-up for and attend the safety sessions during blocks 1 and 10.Participants in golf must sign-up for and attend the intro session during block 3.QSR is a large camp so you may want to try and schedule the block classes with only 20 minutes betweenblocks close together. These are blocks 2 & 3, 4 & 5, 7 & 8, and 10 & 11. The program areas grouped closetogether are: ATV/Horses/Cope/Climbing, Handicraft/Tech/Tribe, Outdoor Skills/Baden Powell/Shooting Sports,and Nature/Aquatics. Traveling between ATV/Horses/Cope/Climbing and Nature/Aquatics in 20 minutes wouldbe very difficult and part of the class would be missed.We also encourage you to plan your own outpost adventure, hike the Border Patrol, have a troop campfire,and take advantage of your time in the great outdoors. Schedule your programs around troop activities.Remember that April 30 is the “Special Needs Requests” deadline – This includes youth and adult needs forspecial foods, physical limitations, medical needs, etc. When you arrive at camp please have full physicals, trooproster, and pre-camp swim tests completed and available in a single packet when you arrive at the gate of QSR.We, along with the entire camp staff, appreciate this opportunity to work with each of you to provide yourScouts with a memorable summer camp experience. Feel free to let any one of us know what we can do to assistyou this year. Again, thank you for your time and leadership to your troop.Yours in Scouting,Pat McGuire, Camp Director, pmc4115@gmail.comMark Hunter, Program Director, bsaqsr@gmail.com14
