Cub Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed
to meet the needs of young boys and their parents. The
program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Service
projects, ceremonies, games an other activities guide boys
through the core values and give them a sense of personal
achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and
parental guidance, boys also learn honesty, bravery, and
respect. Family involvement is an essential part of Cub
Scouting, and parents are encouraged to play an active
role in the program. Through interaction between parents,
leaders, and friends, boys learn citizenship, compassion,
and courage. This family and community-centered approach to learning means the Cub Scouting is truly time
well spent.
grade) Exploring units, called “posts”, focus on a single
career field, such as law enforcement, fire/rescue, medical,
band, and are sponsored by a local government or business
entity. Young adults involved in Exploring will gain practical knowledge of and experience in a career, engage in a
program of activities centered on career opportunities, life
skills, citizenship, character development, and leadership
experience to encourage the development of the whole
person; have opportunities to take on leadership roles; and
have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring,
and fun environment.
BOY SCOUTS - Ages 11-17
Most people associate Boy Scouting with outdoor adventure-and with good reason. Scouting is an outdoor
program designed to develop character, citizenship, and
fitness. With the Scout Oath and Law as a guide, Scouting helps a boy develop into a well-rounded young man.
Through the advancement program, a Scout can progress
in rank through achievements, gaining additional knowledge and responsibilities. Earning Merit Badges provides
opportunities for Scouts to be introduced to a lifelong
hobby or a rewarding career. In Boy Scouting, youth take
responsibility for the activities of the troop. By planning
and organizing activities, they develop teamwork and learn
to lead as well as follow. Through the support of parents
and religious and neighborhood organizations, Scouts develop an awareness and appreciation of their role in their
community.
VENTURING - Ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed
eighth grade) Venturing is a program for young men and
women ages 14 through 20. Venturing is one of the fastest
growing programs in the Boy Scouts of America. The
purpose of Venturing is to provide experiences to help
young people mature and become responsible and caring
adults. Young people in Venturing learn leadership skills
and participate in challenging outdoor activities. Venturing focuses resources that help a community organization
provide wholesome, flexible, well-rounded challenging
activities, tailor-made for teenage youth. Those resources
include access to Boy Scout training, and specific program
helps for a variety of outdoor disciplines.
ORDER OF THE ARROW - Scouting’s National
Honor Society As Scouting’s National Honor Society,
our purpose is to recognize those who best exemplify the
Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. That recognition
inspires others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition, promote camping, responsible
outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every Scout’s experience in the unit,
year-round, and in summer camp, develop leaders with
the willingness, character, spirit, and ability to advance
the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting,
and ultimately our nation, and crystallize the Scout habit
of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful
service to others.
VARSITY SCOUTING Varsity Scouting is an
active, exciting, year-round program for young men ages
14 through 17 that is built around five program fields
of emphasis: advancement, high adventure, personal
development, service, and special programs and events.

SCOUTING PROVIDES TWO CHANNELS THROUGH WHICH UNITS RECEIVE COUNCIL SERVICES:
1.
District operating committees give specialized help to units. Your local Chartered Organization Representative (COR) is a member
of this committee and speaks for the chartered organization, makes suggestions for district programs, and carries news of available
services and programs back to the unit
2.
The second channel of assistance is provided through commissioner service. District and unit commissioners give direct and
continuous help and guidance in unit operations to unit leaders. Services they provide include carrying the district program
to the units and, when necessary, relaying unit needs to others who can help. The commissioner service provides unit leaders the
opportunity for the personal coaching they need to run successful Scouting units. For more information on Commissioners, please
see page 11.

Quick Facts
For over 100 years the Boy Scouts of America have helped
young people grow in character, citizenship, physical fitness
and recognition of their duty to God and Country.
Today’s Scouting youth become tomorrow’s leaders who
will guide and influence education, businesses, churches and
schools. The values and skills learned in Scouting are the
fabric of our communities today and become the bedrock for
tomorrow.
The Quivira Council, Boy Scouts of America positively impacts
over 13,000 youth and their families in 30 counties in southern
and southeast Kansas.
Community Service
Over 70,000 of pounds of food gathered through Scouting for
Food good turn. Scouting helps young people learn that along
with the rights we enjoy as citizens is the responsibility of
helping others.
Learning Life Skills
Scouts earned more than 9,928 rank advancements and merit
badges including citizenship, emergency preparedness, family
life, personal management, personal fitness and first aid. The
skills and lessons learned will prepare our youth for today and
tomorrow.
Outreach Programs
Scouting serves more than 638 at risk youth with positive
adult role models and positive and healthy programs that are a
concrete alternative to destructive behavior.
Financial Assistance
The Quivira Council provides more than $40,000 in
camperships to help financially challenged youth attend camp,
provides accident and liability insurance to Scouts and leaders
and provides registration assistance to those youth who could
not otherwise afford Scouting.
Leadership
137 Boy Scouts earned the rank of Eagle Scout in Quivira
Council in 2011, the highest rank a Scout can earn. This
required each Scout to earn 21 or more merit badges and
organize and lead a service project to benefit their community.
Quotes from adults and leaders
“We have boys in our unit who really need our program. Some
have behavioral or social concerns that don’t allow them to
participate in sports or other programs. In Cub Scouts,
they learn and often thrive.” – Cub Scout Leader
“Merit Beyond The Badge”
The Eagle Scout badge has become widely recognized as a mark
of distinction both within and outside of Scouting. Once earned,
it is worn for life.
In a study conducted by Baylor University, it was found that
Eagle Scouts – compared to Scouts who never attained the rank
of Eagle Scout and men who were never Scouts – were significantly more likely to:
•
Exhibit higher levels of participation in a variety of health
and recreational activities
•
Show a greater connection to siblings, neighbors, religious
community, friends, coworkers, formal and informal groups
and a spiritual presence in nature
•
Share a greater belief in duty to God, service to others, service to the community and leadership
•
Engage in behaviors that are designed to enhance and protect
the environment.
•
Be committed to setting and achieving personal, professional, spiritual and financial goals
•
Show higher levels of planning and preparedness
•
Indicate that they have built character traits related to work
ethics, morality, tolerance and respect for diversity
Throughout the past century, Eagle Scouts have gone on to
become Olympians, surgeons, civil rights leaders, Pulitzer Prize
winners, and paragons of business. Some notable Eagle Scouts
include:
•
•
•

Youth Protection Guidelines
YOUTH PROTECTION
The Boy Scouts of America places the
greatest importance on creating the most
secure environment possible for our
youth members. To maintain such an
environment, the BSA developed numerous
procedural and leadership selection policies
and provides parents and leaders with
resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and
Venturing programs.

Barriers to Abuse Within Scouting
The “Three R’s” of Youth Protection
The “Three R’s” of Youth Protection convey
a simple message to youth members:
•
The BSA has adopted policies on the following
topics to provide additional security for our
members. The policies are primarily for the
protection of our youth members; however,
•
they also serve to protect our adult leaders
from false accusations of abuse.
Leadership Selection
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride
in the quality of our adult leadership. Being
a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right.
The quality of the program and the safety of
our youth members call for high-quality adult
leaders. We work closely with our chartered
organizations to help recruit the best possible
leaders for their units.

Quivira Scout Ranch
Quivira Council offers some of the best camping opportunities
in the Midwest. From Camp Kanza, located in the beautiful
Ninnescah River Valley southwest of Hutchinson, to Quivira Scout
Ranch in the rugged Black Jack Territory just north of Sedan.
Quivira Scout Ranch
1781 Road 19
Sedan, KS 67361
QUIVIRA
The vision for Quivira Scout Ranch began to develop in 1958,
when it became apparent that the council’s Camp TaWaKoNi,
near Augusta, would soon be unable to accommodate the
camping needs of a growing number of Scouts. So, the Quivira
Council Executive Board decided to appoint a camp development
committee to solve the problem. Murray Gill was appointed
chairman. He led a search for property that included parts of
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, until an area in Chautauqua
County, near Sedan, Kansas, was identified.
In 1960, property was purchased from nine different landowners.
This developed out to 2,906 acres of wooded hills and narrow
valleys. Rich in tradition, this rugged land had provided
homesteads, farms and ranches for many pioneers, as the federal
government encouraged settlement, beginning in the 1870’s. In
1972 a final tract was purchased, bringing the Ranch to 3,146
acres.
QSR is located in an area extending through parts of Kansas,
Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma known as Black Jack Territory.
Characteristic of this land are its rocky cliffs, rolling hills, and
dense covering of black jack oak trees. Early cattle drives ran
through the territory, and the route was termed the “Black Jack
Trail.” Settlers also had to share the territory with the Osage
Indians, who had inhabited the land for 200 years, before. The
Osage were led by a legendary chief named Blackdog. But the U.S.
Government wanted the territory opened for settlement, passing the
Homestead Act in 1862, and forcing the Indians onto reservations
in Oklahoma and elsewhere. The first white settlers came from
eastern states by wagon, horseback, or afoot. There are remnants
of this settlement activity: ruins of old stone buildings; outlines in
the soil of rock foundations; the Pioneer Cemetery; and crumbling
stone fences. Life was difficult, however, and many died very
young or left because of the weather, food and water shortages,
smallpox and other epidemic diseases.
On Feb. 20, 1960, Quivira Council, BSA used buses to gather over
700 people to view the area and consider the land for development
as a Boy Scout camp. After considering alternative lake options,
work to survey and construct the dam began in 1964. Since
then more than $4 million has been invested in QSR for camp
development which includes the William L. Graham Charitable
Trust (Troop Service Building), Koch Industries (Aquatics area
and C.O.P.E. course), the Hale Family Dining Hall (seating 600
Scouts and leaders), the Melone Family Training Center, expansion
of the shooting sports programs, the addition of a 5 stand shotgun
range, connection to the County water supply, electrical upgrades
to support expansion, expansion of the aquatic program to include
purchase of a ski boat and utilization of PWC’s (jet skis).

Camp Kanza
Camp Kanza
10510 S. Sterling Rd.
Abbyville, KS 67510
KANZA
Camp Kanza is located in the beautiful Ninnescah Valley,
southwest of Hutchinson, Kansas. Heavily wooded on 160 acres,
there are a variety of trees, shrub and sage-covered sand and
hills, a spring-fed lake, tall prairie grasses and marshland wildlife
habitat. Kanza began as a resident Boy Scout summer camp as
reflected in the facilities. These include a two-thirds olympic-size
swimming pool, dining hall, archery, rifle and shotgun ranges, and
a C.O.P.E. course.
Plans for Camp Kanza began in the early 1960s when Scouters
realized the limitations in the size of Camp Pawnee near Larned.
A development committee was appointed including a group to
search for a location. Six sites were reviewed with the Boy Scouts
of America’s engineering service. The Hap Stevens property,
southwest of Abbyville, had sufficient acreage and enough water
for boating and canoeing programs.
A complete layout of the camp was prepared by BSA Engineering
Services. Service club members and others were shown the camp
model to engender their support. A capital campaign began in
1963. Willis Shaffer was Council president and Charles Summers
was campaign chairman. Ray Dillon Sr. was Special Gifts Division
chairman and he, along with Art Collins, were instrumental in
arranging for construction financing. A council-wide effort ensued,
with many key people providing leadership for fund raising in each
community.
Mrs. Irma I. Smith of Macksville, the wife of the former president
of the Farmers and Merchants State Bank there, was contacted
about a gift for the dining hall as a memorial to her husband, Jay
T. Smith. She agreed and the “Smith Lodge” was built. Another
generous donor, Mrs. C.H. Chalmers, helped set the tone for camp
giving, and the swimming pool was dedicated as “Chalmers Pool”
in her honor.
After nearly two years work, including construction of the Smith
Lodge and Chalmers Pool, Camp Kanza was dedicated in May,
1963. Some 3,000 Scouters and friends were on hand to celebrate
the realization of the Scout camp.
The “Delivering the Promise” Capital Campaign has made
significant improvements and upgrades at Camp Kanza. Over
$2 million has been invested including renovation of the Cobra
Patrol Dining Hall to include air conditioning and an expanded and
upgraded kitchen, construction of the Spirit AeroSystems Learning
Center, the Cessna Aviation Center, a BMX Trail, Fort Star to
support shooting sports, new pool shower house that doubles as
a storm shelter, renovation of the swimming pool, amphitheater,
Cook’s Cabin, Mann Lodge, Haddock Family Store and flag plaza.

COMMISSIONERS
•
The commissioner is the liaison between
the local council and Scouting units.
The commissioner is part of the District
and typically serves 1-3 units.
Do you know your Unit Commissioner? We
hope that you do, but if not, you should! Your
Unit Commissioner has one primary goal: to
help YOUR unit succeed.
Your Unit Commissioner (UC) is a volunteer
who serves as a liaison between your unit and
your District. Your UC, who is typically an
experienced Scouter, has as his or her mission
to keep your unit operating at maximum
efficiency. A UC’s most important job is to
be a friend to the unit, but UCs play several
roles, including being a resource, a teacher,
and a counselor. If you have a question about
Scouting, your Unit Commissioner will help
you find an answer.
•
Scouts who go to summer camp
get more from our program! Begin
planning your summer camp
experience at the end of the previous
summer camp, and be sure to watch
for early-bird camp sign ups, which
can save your Scouts money. For
Scouts whose families are struggling
financially, Quivira Council offers
“camperships,” which pay a portion
of camp fees. And when you’re at
summer camp, take time to stop and
visit with our Camp Commissioners.
They are there to help!
Pawnee District
We can always use more great Unit
Commissioners! If you are, or know,
an experienced Scouter who wants
to help units deliver a great program
to our youth, send their name to your
District Commissioner. We’d love
to add more great volunteers to our
Quivira Council Commissioner Corps.
District Commissioner:
Mike Smith / largebuffalo51@yahoo.com
So, if you don’t know your UC, contact your
District Commissioner (listed below) and ask
them for their name and contact information.
This is a call worth making, because your

Although your Recharter Application is
not due until January or February, you
should begin working on unit inventories
in the fall. This will give your Committee
Chair a leg up when they begin the
recharter process in October or November.
Remember, recharter packets can be
picked up at the October Roundtable
meeting and it is always best if picked up
by the person responsible for completing
the Recharter process.
Scouting’s Journey to Excellence (JTE)
standards are not only a recognition of
your unit’s success, but can be used as
a great unit assessment tool. Become
familiar with the current year’s JTE
standards and utilize these as you plan
your program year. And be sure to turn in
your JTE scorecard with your Recharter
packet.

Encampment 2013
Plan now to join over 13,000 fellow Scouts and Scouters for this once every 5 year event! There will be programs
for Scouts of all ages and the opportunity to mix with Scouts from all over Quivira Council and through the
surrounding states. With shooting sports, challenge games, military displays, merit badge midway, a great stage
show on Saturday night and more this is a program you do not want to miss!
Cost and Event Registration
Early Registration:
Unit fee = $25 per Unit registered by December 31, 2012
Individual fee = $20 per youth or adult registered by December 31, 2012
Registration after December 31, 2012
Unit fee = $35 per Unit registered after December 31, 2012
Individual fee = $25 per youth or adult registered after December 31, 2012
Staff fee = $10
Individuals not affiliated with a Unit = $20
Early registration will hold your spot and give you “preferred campsite” status. The
earlier you pay your registration fees, the closer to the entrance gate of the program
areas you will be able to camp.
The first 250 participants registered will received a limited edition
“Eddie The Yeti” T-Shirt!
Take advantage of our payment plan to make it easier to register early.
Pay your $25 unit fee and $5 for each individual planning to attend to register and
hold their place. This low cost “hold” fee will allow units registering by December
31, 2012 to take advantage of the early registration pricing while waiting until they
know the actual number of youth and adults attending to pay the full fee amount.
The balance of the registration fees is due on, or before, March 15th, 2013. If units
do not pay their balance by that time, their “preferred campsite” status will be
cancelled.

INTRODUCTION TO LEADERSHIP
SKILLS FOR CREWS (ILSC)
National Youth Leadership Training is
the premier Council level co-ed training
experience to provide our youth members with
leadership skills and an experience they can
use in their home units and in other situations
demanding leadership of self and others.
NYLT camp teaches the concepts of what a
leader must BE, what they must KNOW, and
what they must DO. These key elements bring
together the HOW TO’s of Leadership.
ILSC is intended to help Venturers in
leadership positions within their crew
understand their responsibilities and to equip
them with organizational and leadership skills
to fulfill those responsibilities. ILSC replaces
the Venturing Leadership Skills Course
(VLSC) and is a prerequisite for Venturers to
participate in the more advanced leadership
courses (i.e., National Advanced Youth

Financing Scouting
FRIENDS OF SCOUTING
Friends of Scouting is an annual fundraising effort for the Quivira Council. Friends of Scouting (FOS) dollars are used for program support
and council operations. The Boy Scouts of America is fortunate to have Executive Board members, individuals and businesses in our
respective communities, private trusts and foundations, and Scouting families that pledge dollars annually to Friends of Scouting. These
dollars are a major portion of our council operating budget each year.
UNITED WAY
The Quivira Council, B.S.A. receives operating and special project dollars from nine different United Way organizations that operate within
our 30-county service area. United Way support is important to us, also and we maintain positive relationships with our United Way
organizations. Those United Ways are:
United Way of the Plains
Central Kansas United Way
United Way of El Dorado
United Way of Reno County
Independence Community Chest
Cowley County United Way
McPherson County United Way
Coffeyville United Fund
SPECIAL EVENTS
The Boy Scout Golf Classic and the Flint Oak Boy Scout Sporting Clay Invitational have both been active as special event fundraisers for
our council for over twenty years. This year’s Golf Classic will be held on Monday, October 8TH at Sand Creek Station Golf Course in
Newton, Kansas. Sand Creek is a new venue for the Golf Classic. The Sporting Clay Invitational will be held August 17TH and 18TH at
the Flint Oak Resort in Fall River, Kansas. The net proceeds from these events each year support the council budget by offsetting the costs
of outreach programs and the shooting sports programs at both of our camp facilities. For more information on our events, go to quivira.org
under the fundraising tab.
JAMES E. WEST FELLOWSHIP
The West Fellowship program is a national council recognition named in honor of the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of
America. The program is designed to honor Scouters and recognize donors who give $1,000 or more to the Endowment of the local
council. Endowed funds are invested over the long-term, and investment earnings from those funds are used to fund council operations
and designated projects. Endowment fund growth is essential to the long-term viability of the Quivira Council. West Fellows wear a
distinctive green and gold square knot on the field uniform and there is a special lapel pin for more formal occasions.

Supporting Unit Programs
POPCORN
What are the Benefits of Selling Popcorn?
Popcorn sales can generate enough income to financially support your Scouting program for the entire year! The benefits are:
• Trail’s End Scholarship Program for Selling Scouts
• 70% of sales support Scouting
• Built in Scout prize and recognition program encourages Scouts to sell.
• Popcorn sales teach boys the value of earning their own way.
• Statistics show that 7 out of 10 people will buy Trail’s End Popcorn, and 9 out of 10 who buy, will buy more.
What does the Popcorn Sale Make Possible?
The popcorn sale plays an important role in financially supporting your unit and the Council in providing programs and services. The
commission your unit earns can be used to support your Scouting program as your committee sees fit. Based on your unit’s plan and
individual Scout’s sales, youth can have a portion of their sales put into their “Scout account”, which is normally administered by the
unit volunteer treasurer.
Some examples of unit use of popcorn earnings are:
Awards
Books/Neckerchiefs
Blue & Gold Banquets
District & Council Events/Activities/Outings
Field Trips
Camp Fees
Camporees
Pinewood Derbies
Camping/ Equipment purchases

Capital Improvements
“Delivering the Promise” Capital Campaign
In 2001 the Executive Board of the Quivira Council approved a capital needs assessment for the Council's two camps and service center.
During 2002, volunteer task forces were formed to review the existing conditions of each Council property and to identify capital needs to
support expansion of programs and services to Scouts, leaders and Scouting families.
In late 2004, the recommendations of the task forces were brought to the Executive Board where they were reviewed and approved. The
recommendations were as follows:
•
•
•
•
The Kanza Task Force recommended capital improvements totaling $2,639,000 in three phases over 10 years once construction began.
The Quivira Scout Ranch Task Force recommended capital improvements totaling $3,450,000 phased in over 15 years once construction began.
The Council Service Center Task Force recommended capital improvements totaling $2,200,000.
Based upon the capital campaign fundraising feasibility study, the goal was set at $6,600,000 million with an additional goal of
$1,650,000 for a maintenance endowment, bringing the total goal of the first phase of the campaign to $8,250,000.
Each project (Camp Kanza, Quivira Scout Ranch and the Service Center) was allotted $2.2 million for the first phases of construction contingent upon fundraising success.
In September of 2008, the Executive Board approved construction of the first phases of construction at Camp Kanza and Quivira Scout
Ranch and later approved construction of projects that donors had given designated gifts to support.
To date, more than $4 million has been invested in Camp Kanza and Quivira Scout Ranch through new construction, upgrades and program
expansion. The asterisks below denote a project supported by a designated gift.
