Arrival and Check-In Process
Plan to arrive at Quivira Scout Ranch between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. on Sunday of your week in camp. Proceed to the main gate. You will be greeted by your Staff host at the gate.
Immediately after you are greeted, you will proceed to STAR Lodge to sign up for swim check times and turn in medical forms, then a group photo of the troop will be taken. So, it is important to have all your Scouts and leaders together for this photo before they head off to get your campsite ready.
After medical check-in, the unit will be given a brief tour of camp and then taken to their campsite. Scouts will be able to take swim tests and should be in proper swim attire at their assigned test time. During the swim test, each Scout will be classified as a swimmer, beginner, or a non-swimmer.
After the brief camp tour, leaders may transport one vehicle at a time to the campsite. All vehicles will be allowed in camp, but only one per unit is authorized through the gate, with a gate pass.
After unloading gear at the campsite, vehicles should be removed from the campsite and returned to designated parking areas. After the unload, vehicles may not remain at the campsite. If your unit is cooking in camp, one trailer may be left in camp.
Leader Meetings
The Scout Master and Senior Patrol Leader for the troop must attend the daily leaders’ meeting. These take place between the Tribe and Commissioner’s Area, on the Northeast end of the Dining Hall. The time of the meeting is 1:15 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Sunday, the Leader meeting is held at 5:30 p.m. to accommodate check-in.
Family Style Dining
Quivira Scout Ranch uses family-style dining. In this format, all meals will be delivered to your tables so that you can serve yourselves and focus on the meal and less on the wait! Each SPL should assign 1-2 scouts to set the table each meal.
Scouts should arrive 10-15 minutes before a meal to set the tables and lower the benches. This allows our staff to properly and efficiently serve your unit.
While at Camp
Meal Guests

You Must Use the Official BSA Physical Form
Every Scout and leader who is in camp for more than 72 hours is required to have on file in the Health Lodge the official BSA Physical form. Parts A, B, and C are required.

A new physical form is required every year, completed within the calendar year of camp. We suggest that Scouts have their BSA form completed when they have their annual Health Maintenance exam or sports physical.
Emergency Procedures
Units are asked to keep the roster presented at the beginning of camp. This is retained by the leadership at the campsite for times of emergency to take a roll call.
Emergency procedures for all common eventualities have been developed. These are reviewed at Sunday night dinner. A severe storm weather drill is held at the campsite on Sunday night preceding dinner. All units are expected to participate as instructed in the emergency procedures.
Severe storms happen at Quivira Scout Ranch. Specific procedures have been established. All campers and visitors are expected to follow these procedures.
