Tribe of Quivira
Since, 1923
- 75 years to 1998-- the mission of the Tribe of Quivira (Old
Warrior) program has been to encourage Scouts and Leaders to
camp at a Quivira Council Summer Camp.
Among the
many changes approved by the Council Camping Committee was the
formation of a Tribal Council, in 1994, to oversee the
activities of the Tribe. Please pick out those members who wear
the white coup of the Tribal Council and offer your support and
suggestions.
A role of the
Tribal Council is to provide support for program activities at
our council camps. With the merger of the Kanza and Quivira
Councils in 1997, we now have two excellent camps to offer our
Scouts and Troops -- Camp Kanza and Quivira Scout Ranch -- both
of which count toward advancement through the Tribe of Quivira
program.
