Any team of Scouts as long as there is an equal number of an adult team. A minimum of two teams is required for a unit to participate to fulfill Youth Protection Requirements (two-deep leadership). Adult leaders will tent together; Scouts will tent together.

Everyone should be prepared for a complete pack layout / shakedown.

$5.00 per person, payable on-site by cash or check (made out to: Quivira Council, BSA), which includes patch and materials for history of the land and Leave No Trace.

This is a basic backpack experience to show ScoutsBSA Troop leadership different places and ways to use QSR as a Troop program.     Black Jack Trail is an experience where the history of Quivira Scout Ranch is delved into and some backpacking is done into the heart of The Ranch leaving all big, fancy equipment behind.  This is as opportunity for your Troop to go out with a minimum of equipment, have maximum fun, and use The Ranch to its fullest. There are endless program opportunities on our own Council Camp, and we urge every Troop to take advantage of them.

In 1907, Baden Powell devised the Scout motto: BE PREPARED .... SO, go to www.quivira.org click Things to Do to find the Individual Equipment List you need to print/review to Be Prepared!!
