The Dane G. Scout Reservation (known by the early counselors as "Kirwin", was originally a wilderness camp. It had few facilities, no permanent housing for staff, and everybody did their own cooking. I was on the staff in 1965, 1966, and 1967. The focus of the camp has changed. It is now an opportunity for campers to learn a wider range of scouting skills.

Dane G. Hansen Scout Reservation

Dane G. Hansen Scout Reservation, often called Camp Hansen, is the Coronado Area Council's summer scout camp, located two miles south-southwest of Kirwin, Kansas. The coordinates are 39°38′23″N 99°08′32″W / 39.63972°N 99.14222°W / 39.63972; -99.14222, and it is a part of the Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge.

Tribe of the Golden Eagle

The Coronado Area Council operates a leadership program, the Tribe of Golden the Eagle at Camp Hansen. The program was inspired by the Pony Express Council and Heart of America Council's Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Membership is indicated by the wearing of replica eagle claws, with the number of claws and the paint on the tips of the claws indicating rank within the tribe.

Kidi Kidsh Lodge
