Quivira Council, Boy Scouts of America

Our first Aviation Explorer post meeting was this weekend, and it was a huge success! Our Scouts learned invaluable life skills and career building knowledge exclusive to this opportunity.

Thank you to Aviation Academy for hosting. And a big thank you to Scott Olinger and the instructors, for your commitment to Scouting and leadership!

The next meeting is February 3. Contact the Council office for more information.

12 days til TRAPPERS!!! It’s exciting to watch the online registrations roll in as we count down to tonight‘s deadline! At this time yesterday we were at 2,700, as of now, we are at 3,200 registered Scouts and Scouters!!

In 2023, Quivira Council Scouts raised nearly $20,000 in military donations for popcorn for our soldiers, both home and away. Yesterday, some of our scouts got to hand-deliver popcorn to McConnell Air Force Base. Quivira Council is incredibly proud to support our troops, especially given the sacrifices they make being away from their families and homes over the holiday season. Thank you for your commitment to our safety and the freedoms we hold so dear. Merry Christmas and God bless you.
