Trailblazer Program Offered to Community Youth
“Hey Kids,” Come Explore Fort Scott National Historic Site as a “Trailblazer”
Fort Scott Kan. – Fort Scott National Historic Site is pleased to announce the 20th year of its fun-filled Trailblazers program. This program is open to youth ages 9-12 and will be held August 6 – 10. It will begin at 8:30 am and end at noon each day and there is no charge for the day camp. Registration will open June 17. To sign-up, contact Fort Scott National Historic Site at (620) 223-0310 or email [email protected] with your name and phone number.
Trailblazers is a workshop to introduce children to the National Park Service and its mission of caring for the nation’s natural and cultural heritage. They will search for treasure in a mock archaeological dig, explore the prairie, and discover how we care for the buildings and artifacts of the fort. The students will participate in living history, be trained in flag protocol, and will work on a play that they will present at the end of the week. Also, there will be activities to teach children how to use resources wisely.
Participants must be between 9 and 12 as of the beginning day of the camp. Participants will be sent an informational packet after registration is complete. Space is limited to 12 participants so priority will be given to youth who are first time attendees.
The National Park Service protects many of America’s most valuable natural and cultural resources and tells its’ most compelling stories. Many would argue, however, that America’s most treasured resource and its best hope for the future are its children. This summer you are invited to introduce your child to the resources and stories of Fort Scott National Historic Site.
To find out more or become involved in activities at the Fort, please contact the park at 620-223-0310.

- Laverl Turley, USAF Veteran.
- Vincent “Scott” Dorsey, USMC Veteran
- Leslie Montee, USAF Veteran.
There were 27 members and guests in attendance at our General Membership meeting. This is a record attendance in my two years at Post 25.
The winner of the Marlin M1 was Chris Jones of WardKraft. The winning ticket was pulled by Chaplain James Collins.
May 9. Thursday. 6 pm. Post 25 Color Guard meets at Memorial Hall. Any Post 25 Legionnaires or SAL member can join the Post 25 Color Guard.
May 9. Thursday. 7 pm. Baseball meeting of all interested students, parents and Legion members. Five more players are needed to form the Fort Scott Post 25 American Legion Baseball team. Players must be between 15 and 19 and live in Fort Scott.
The installation of your Post 25 2019-20 Officers on May 7 was conducted by 2nd District Commander Marri Krupco.
Post Commander Carl Jowers gave each female Legionnaire a customized license plate frame that showed their branch of service and the words “Women are Veterans Too.” Commander Jowers believes that in today’s Legion, no Post can be successful if they do not recruit and retain female Veterans as members.
There are three other female Legionnaires who could not attend last’s night’s meeting. They are Patsy Ferrell, Navy, Jessica Allison, Army and Faye Brown, Army. They will each receive a female Veterans license frame at a time and location convenient for them
Governor to honor fallen Kansas law enforcement officers
Governor directs flags to be lowered, will sign official proclamation
In recognition of the 37th annual Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony on Friday, May 3 and National Peace Officers Memorial Day on Wednesday, May 15, Governor Laura Kelly has ordered flags throughout the State of Kansas to be flown at half-staff from sunup to sundown on both May 3 and May 15.
“Each year we recognize law enforcement officers for putting service above self to protect fellow Kansans,” Kelly said. “I have a deep appreciation for these officers and their families – and on behalf of the State of Kansas, thank them for their commitment.”
On Friday, Kelly will sign an official proclamation declaring May 3 as “Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Day.” In addition, H.J. Res. 730, P.L. 87-726 designates May 15 of each year as National Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of federal, state and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty.
Fort Coordinates Prescribed Fire
Nearly Five Acres Successfully Treated with Prescribed Fire at Fort Scott National Historic Site
Fort Scott Kan. – Yesterday, Park managers at Fort Scott National Historic Site, in coordination with Fire Managers at the US Fish and Wildlife Service from Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge, successfully treated five acres with prescribed (Rx) fire in the park’s restored tallgrass prairie.
“We are pleased with the outcome and professional manner in which the Rx burn was conducted,” said Betty Boyko, Superintendent, Fort Scott National Historic Site. “These prescribed fires, reduce the fuel load, suppress the invasive woody plants and cool season grasses, and stimulate native plants.”
The park will begin rotating the burn cycle between seasons to maintain plant diversity as this more closely approximates the natural fire regime in Eastern Kansas where lightning-ignited fires occurred most frequently during the dry summer months (July and August) and Native Americans burned most extensively in the late fall, particularly October.
Prescribed fires play on important role in the ecosystem. However, spot treatments and manual pulling are still necessary. To find out more on how to become involved, please contact the park at 620-223-0310.
