Please check in at the Camp Osage Administration Building. The camp is closed between noon on Saturday and noon on Sunday and there will be no one available to handle early arrivals. Upon arrival, your unit will be greeted by a member of the camp administrative staff. At that time the unit leader should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, merit badge schedules for the Scouts, and any unpaid fees with the Final Financial Form (KKSR3). The unit leader should have the unit’s medical form and a written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A troop guide will be assigned to the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the unit leader will take the troop to the Health Check area. The leader will bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check Form (KKSR4b). Everyone — youth and adult — must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health re-check will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering, so it is encouraged that all Scouts arrive in camp at the same time. Make sure an assistant leader has the medical forms during this time to eliminate confusion at med-checks. The guide will take the unit to its campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded and vehicles returned to their parking areas. The troop guide will then take inventory of all equipment in the campsite if applicable. 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp If any equipment is missing or damaged (holes in tents, missing fire buckets) the troop guide will note it and report it.The unit leaders with the troop guides should check each tent for damage. Any damage found at the end of the week will be assessed to the troop. Tears in tents will be assessed a fee of $15 per inch. Multiple tears or tears over three inches are considered un-repairable and may result in the troop replacing the damaged tent. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to arriving at camp will then change into their swim trunks and head to the waterfront for their swim test. All persons who will use the swimming area, boating area, or river must have a swim check. No Exceptions! !

COMMISSIONER SERVICE After your troop guide finishes helping you check in, you probably won’t see them in your campsite again until you check out on Saturday morning. That’s okay, because we have staff members with the full time job of taking care of your needs during the week. The staff member is your Commissioner. The commissioner staff will stop by your campsite each morning to visit with leaders in the site. They will make sure you have all the supplies you need. If there is something broken or missing in your site, they will see that it is taken care of. FLAG CEREMONIES The camp will assemble for the flag ceremonies in the morning and evening.

Some of the items stocked are: Uniform Parts, Camp Ball Caps, Writing Paper, Craft Kits, Pocket Knives, Postcards, Slush Puppies, Pizza, Folding Chairs, Batteries, and Camp Patches. M o s t Scouts will spend on the average of $35-$50 in the trading post. This will generally pay for merit badge materials and a few snacks throughout the week. Please budget accordingly! Kia Kima has no ATM, so please be sure your Scouts bring enough cash. VISITORS Visitor’s night at camp is Friday evening. At this time, parents will have the opportunity to eat with their sons in the dining hall and attend the closing campfire. Visitors should not plan to arrive before 5:00 PM, as Scouts will be involved in merit badge sessions. The Campfire will conclude around 9:30 PM so visitors should plan to leave shortly thereafter so Scouts and Leaders can get a good night’s sleep. The Program Director will be asking for a head count of the amount of visitors at the Friday Leader’s Dinner meeting. This will give us an estimate of the amount of food to prepare. The cost of the Friday evening meal is $5.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children under the age of 12. Visitors may purchase meal tickets from the Program Office as they enter camp.

We discourage the continuous use of the telephone by the Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents phone bill. We do ask that leaders accompany their Scouts at the phone. CAMP OSAGE Since 1964, Camp Osage (originally the main camp) has been welcoming Scouts to the banks of the South Fork River. Camp Osage is the larger of the camps at Kia Kima Scout Reservation with 14 unique campsites to choose from.

We promise you won’t be sitting in your campsite, unless of course, that is what you want to do. The following are leader opportunities that we have offered at Kia Kima. Leadership trainings change from week to week based on the availability of instructors. Some of these courses may not be offered your particular week. If you are a district or counsil level trainer, feel free to talk to the program director and teach a course. Safe Swim Defense & Safety Afloat TRAINING These programs are sponsored by the aquatics area, and provide valuable information concerning the BSA’s policies for aquatic activities on the unit level, such as a troop swim Climb On Safely Climb on Safely is a climbing orientation course for all leaders. This course will not certify a leader to operate a climbing program but will give them hands on knowledge on how to assist a certified Climbing Instructor. CPR All BSA Lifeguard candidates will have the opportunity to complete their CPR requirement while at camp. A six-hour course will be offered to these candidates. Adult leaders who choose to go through the training may fill the extra spaces in the session. Fast Start Are you a new leader at camp? If so, this training will teach you all about the elements of a good troop meeting and the patrol method. visit www.kiakima.com 39 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp �Climbing Instructor Certification This training will include “Climb on Safely” training. This will certify leaders as climbing instructors. Space is limited. Fire By Friction Training The ability to create fire without the use of matches has long been a skill at Boy Scout Camp events for years. In this session, leaders will be able to learn the fine art of creating fire. Our skilled instructors will teach friction methods such as, the bow drill, hand drill, and the fire saw. Demonstrations will also take place on how to build fire with flint and steel, battery and steel wool, wire coat hangers, and the fire piston. This is a wonderful opportunity for leaders. SCOUT LEADER COOKOFF EXTRAVAGANZA (AKA Iron Scoutmaster Competition) Showcase your cooking skills in our leaders’ cookoff. Whether it is a pot of chilli, cobbler, baked hens, jambalaya or homemade bread, plan to participate in this event. A select few of our lucky or maybe unlucky (depending on the meal) will be called upon to judge this event. The winners of this event will receive a special limited edition recognition piece at the closing campfire on Friday evening. ADVANCEMENT Often, adults in camp bring with them special knowledge or skills that would be beneficial to various merit badge sessions. If any adult would like to assist with a merit badge—or offer one not on the schedule-please see the Program Director at the Sunday Leaders’ Meeting. Also, adults are needed to help with transportation for the field trips, and the Ozark Adventure Base sessions. Youth Protection This training is required for all leaders that take kids on trips in the BSA. This is a very important session to attend as it states many of the BSA’s Policies on youth and adult interaction. 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 40 visit www.kiakima.com �SERVICE If you are a carpenter, plumber, electrician, or just a general handyman, your skills are always needed at camp.

Please check in at the Camp Osage Administration Building. The camp is closed between noon on Saturday and noon on Sunday and there will be no one available to handle early arrivals. Upon arrival, your unit will be greeted by a member of the camp administrative staff. At that time the unit leader should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, merit badge schedules for the Scouts, and any unpaid fees with the Final Financial Form (KKSR3). The unit leader should have the unit’s medical form and a written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A troop guide will be assigned to the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the unit leader will take the troop to the Health Check area. The leader will bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check Form (KKSR4b). Everyone — youth and adult — must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health re-check will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering, so it is encouraged that all Scouts arrive in camp at the same time. Make sure an assistant leader has the medical forms during this time to eliminate confusion at med-checks. The guide will take the unit to its campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded and vehicles returned to their parking areas. The troop guide will then take inventory of all equipment in the campsite if applicable. 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp If any equipment is missing or damaged (holes in tents, missing fire buckets) the troop guide will note it and report it.The unit leaders with the troop guides should check each tent for damage. Any damage found at the end of the week will be assessed to the troop. Tears in tents will be assessed a fee of $15 per inch. Multiple tears or tears over three inches are considered un-repairable and may result in the troop replacing the damaged tent. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour.

Kia Kima has no ATM, so please be sure your Scouts bring enough cash. VISITORS Visitor’s night at camp is Friday evening. At this time, parents will have the opportunity to eat with their sons in the dining hall and attend the closing campfire. Visitors should not plan to arrive before 5:00 PM, as Scouts will be involved in merit badge sessions. The Campfire will conclude around 9:30 PM so visitors should plan to leave shortly thereafter so Scouts and Leaders can get a good night’s sleep. The Program Director will be asking for a head count of the amount of visitors at the Friday Leader’s Dinner meeting. This will give us an estimate of the amount of food to prepare. The cost of the Friday evening meal is $5.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children under the age of 12. Visitors may purchase meal tickets from the Program Office as they enter camp. Kids under age six eat visit www.kiakima.com free. Visitors at any time other than Friday should make prior arrangements with the Camp Director.

We discourage the continuous use of the telephone by the Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents phone bill. We do ask that leaders accompany their Scouts at the phone. CAMP OSAGE Since 1964, Camp Osage (originally the main camp) has been welcoming Scouts to the banks of the South Fork River.

Sheath knives are not allowed at camp as well. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Reservation Director when the unit checks-in. It will be returned when the unit checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind or fireworks are allowed in camp. This is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. Finally we recommend that items such as radios, tape players, electronic games, and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Summer camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. TIPS Other than some basic items, different people and units will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect week at camp and bring items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the week fishing don’t forget to bring your rod and tackle box. To help you keep from forgetting those important items, we have a list to help you with your packing. visit www.kiakima.com 15 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp MERIT BADGE program for camp osage NEW !

Whether you are in an older Boy Scout Troop Patrol or a coed Venture Crew, the Ozark Venture Base has something that meets your need. Scouts participating in the OVB programs must be at least 13 years of age and have achieved the rank of First Class by January 1st. Pre-registration for these programs is mandatory. OVB programs include: Mountain Man, Thunderbird Aquatics, Ozark Ultimate Trek, COPE and Ozark Climbing School. All participants in the O.U.T program will be housed at a separate base camp location from their Scouting unit. Participants may be co-ed, as long as all participants are registered members of a Boy Kia Kima’s OZARK ADVENTURE BASE Scout Troop or Venturing Crew. If a Venturing Crew brings female members, a female adult leader must participate. Ozark Venture Base programs will provide food, cooking gear, and other group equipment. Please explore this next section of the leaders’ guide as it lists details regarding each program. Participants are responsible for all personal gear, including tents. (A detailed gear list is available in the end of this section for those participating in the O.U.T. program). A FEW HELPFUL TIPS OF WHAT TO BRING ON YOUR O.U.T.

Ozark Ultimate Trek O U.T. is the perfect combination of thrills and challenges from rock climbing,GPS navigation, hiking, and mountain biking, to caving, white water kayaking, and swift water rescue. Each crew that participates will go through 1-2 days of each program depending on the time frame. Scouts will have an opportunity to visit many of the back areas of the Syllamo Wilderness area. Crews will spend and entire day riding and learning about proper mountain biking techniques. The Syllamo Bike trail offers scouts the opportunity to bike over 30 miles of trails in with varying degrees of difficulty. Scouts participating in this program are encouraged to bring their own mountain bikes. Kia Kima does have a supply of mountain bikes for those Scouts that do not own one or are not able to transport it to camp. After you drop your bikes at a designated location, you will pick up your packs for a 8 mile backpacking trek. While on the trail you will learn all the skills necessary to hike in the wilderness and “leave no trace”. Many campers have described the Syllamore Mountain area as resembling a “Mini Philmont”. With its high ridges and breathtaking views, its sure to make for an inspiring trek. When you get tired of hiking all day, prepare to get wet. After a little instruction, you will be ready to head for the Spring River. Don’t worry, you’re not going there just to sight see. You will paddle the Class II+ white water in a kayak. Our instructors will teach you the in and outs of manning 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 30 visit www.kiakima.com your own whitewater kayak. While on the trip, you will learn about reading whitewater, river rescue techniques, surfing, throw ropes, and much more. For those scouts that have earned the canoeing merit badge, you will be able to complete white water merit badge. Please note that canoeing is a prerequisite for this badge. After a long day on the river, you will return to camp for an evening of climbing instruction. This will prepare you for the full day of rock climbing that lies ahead. We have searched and found many local areas that contain climbing faces from 30-80 feet. After a week like this, we decided that you need a little time to cool off. Well, it’s not time to relax in the air conditioning just yet. You will get the opportunity to join us in some of the coolest caves in Arkansas. Caving may be done as an evening activity or a day trip depending upon time frames and schedules. Many of the evening activities in the OUT program will focus Scouts and Venturers on wilderness trip planning. Scouts will have the opportunity to participate in a Geo-caching exercise, learn the art of fire-by-friction, and learn basic swiftwater rescue techniques. If you think you are up to the challenge, this program is for you. Participants need to be in top physical condition to undergo the challenges of this program. Crews will be housed off-site. Scouts may sign up as a troop or individually. This program is also designed for Venturing Crews. The maximum participation is 36, so register early. visit www.kiakima.com 31 2006 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp MOUNTAIN MAN pioneer living T he Mountain Man program is a wonderful opportunity for your Scouts to learn about pioneer living as it happened in the 19th century.

Winter Camp is a mini long-term camping experience. Participants will be able to work on advancement while enjoying the beauty of the Ozark mountains in the winter. What about the food? All meals will be provided and served in the dining hall. Meals will be served in a modified family style where some items are on the table and some items are served in a line. Will I need to provide my own tent and bedding? Yes, participants must bring their own tents and bedding. Will there be a central shower facility? Unfortunately there will not be a central shower facility as the water to most of the camp will be off during Winter Camp. What do you mean “water will be off,” what am I going to drink? There is a water source into the camp in the winter. Please bring plenty of coolers and water containers and they will be filled frequently by our logistics team. Do I need a physical for each participant? Yes, we will have a staffed health lodge so we require that everyone have a health record on file. Please bring your summer camp physical or a completed class II that had been reviewed by a parent. General Information Check-In Procedure Troops are asked to arrive at Kia Kima between 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, December 27. Checkin will be simple as groups will be sent directly to their campsites. A leaders’ meeting will be at 5:30 at the Administration Building for one leader and the senior patrol leader from each troop.

The activities that he participates in will stay with him long after he grows into manhood. This summer we will showcase Scouting for units not only in the Chickasaw Council, but for units in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Missouri. Our goal is to provide quality instruction in a wilderness setting to young men as they prepare to become our country’s leaders. In order to provide this quality program, planning must begin now. Please review the Leaders’ Guide to Summer Camp 2005, and note your questions to me for a prompt answer. I encourage you to make this camp available to every boy in your unit. Camperships are available on the council level for those families that need assistance. On behalf of the Chickasaw Council and the Kia Kima summer camp staff, we look forward to serving you in 2005.

Kia Kima Scout Reservation is planning to operate for five weeks of summer camp. Having made your campsite reservation for 2005, you are on your way to a terrific visit at Kia Kima. The Camp Fee Schedule can be found in the table on the bottom of the page. To prepare for this summer, it is necessary for units to make financial commitments to reserve space for each Scout attending. Units are required to make a payment of $30.00 per Scout by March 31, 2005. This will reserve space for these Scouts. It is possible to add campers later but only with permission of the Reservation Director and with available space. The $30.00 payment will be applied to the total camp fee. The next payment is due when registering Scouts for sessions. $75 per Scout is required with registration and is due by May 15th. This deposit will also be applied to the total camp fee. This deposit is nonrefundable but may be transferred to other Scouts attending this event. By using this registration process, we can better determine the number of Scouts attending Summer Camp Fee Schedule Scouts from Chickasaw Council $155.00 Shotgun Shooting $15 per participant Scouts from other Councils $160.00 Thunderbird Aquatics $20 per participant Ozark Ultimate Trek $25 per participant Mountain Man Rendevous Ozark Ultimate Trek Adult $20 per participant $25 per participant Leaders Fee $75 per participant Please Note: Leaders fees are prorated based on the number of Scouts that attend camp with your unit.

CAMPSITE RESERVATION Units using a campsite in 2005 may reserve it for 2006 by placing a deposit on that site prior to leaving camp. Campsites available after August 1, 2005, may be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Campsite deposits are refundable until March 1, 2005. After that date, they are not refundable. Troops that withdraw their deposit by March 1, 2005 will receive a deposit refund. Troops that make a reservation, but for some reason do not show, forfeit their $100 deposit. All summer camp correspondence and registration materials should be sent to the Scout Service Center until 5:00 PM on May 31st. Beginning May 31st, all camp correspondence should be sent directly to the camp. The camp office will be open from May 31st until July 23rd. Summer camp administration will not be able to be reached at camp before or after these dates. Smaller units may be asked to share a campsite with another unit if the minimum size is not met. SCOUTS NEEDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Camperships are available to help Scouts who need financial assistance. The unit leader must make a request in writing by filling out a campership request for Kia Kima. All guidelines for campership applications can be found on the reverse side of the application. The deadline for camperships is April 15, 2005. The amount of the Campership will be based upon family income. The boy’s family, troop, and chartered organization should pool their resources first, with a campership request to meet the balance. Each unit receiving a campership will receive a credit voucher that is redeemable at the Office or at Camp. It is necessary to have the voucher on hand in order to receive credit. 2005 Campsite Capacities Camp Osage Capacity Bobwhite 18 Copperhead 16 White Horse 16 Broken Bow 40 Whispering Rapids 20 Turkey Run 16 Fox Fire 14 Cedar Rock 20 Running Deer 44 Crazy Wolf 18 Talking Turtle 24 Yellow Dog 24 Dancing Bear 40 Tall Pines 38 Cherokee Capacity Atchu 18 Anicus 24 Mizin 18 Wulit 36 Sanquen 16 Topi 18 Gawi 14 Machque 30 Espan 40 �2005 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 3 SAFETY & REGISTRATION procedures A ll Scouts and leaders attending camp must have a physical examination before coming to camp, and must have the proper medical form completed.

Please check in at the Camp Osage Administration Building. The camp is closed between noon on Saturday and noon on Sunday and there will be no one available to handle early arrivals. Upon arrival, your unit will be greeted by a member of the camp administrative staff. At that time the unit leader should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, merit badge schedules for the Scouts, and any unpaid fees with the Final Financial Form (KKSR3). The unit leader should have the unit’s medical form and a written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A troop guide will be assigned to the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the unit leader will take the troop to the Health Check area. The leader will bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check Form (KKSR4b). Everyone — youth and adult — must have a current health form. The re-check is to make sure no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. Abuddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health re-check will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering, so it is encouraged that all Scouts arrive in camp at the same time. The guide will take the unit to its campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded and vehicles returned to their parking areas. The troop guide will then take inventory of all equipment in the campsite if applicable. If any equipment is missing or damaged (holes in tents, missing fire buckets) the troop guide will note it and report it.

TRADING POST Kia Kima operates two modern and efficient Trading Posts. Our Trading Posts stock many items that are related to the Scouts merit badges. In addition to crafts, the Trading Post also stocks concession items. Some of the items stocked are: Uniform Parts, Camp Ball Caps, Writing Paper, Craft Kits, Pocket Knives, Postcards, Slush Puppies, Pizza, Folding Chairs, Batteries, and Camp Patches. Most Scouts will spend on the average of $35-$50 in the trading post. This will 9 generally pay for merit badge materials and a few snacks throughout the week. Please budget accordingly! Kia Kima has no ATM, so please be sure your Scouts bring enough cash. The trading post is open most hours of the day and evening with the exception of meals and camp-wide activities VISITORS Visitor’s night at camp is Friday evening. At this time, parents will have the opportunity to eat with their sons in the dining hall and attend the closing campfire. Visitors should not plan to arrive before 5:00 PM, as Scouts will be involved in merit badge sessions. The Campfire will conclude around 9:30 PM so visitors should plan to leave shortly thereafter so Scouts and Leaders can get a good night’s sleep. The Program Director will be asking for a head count of the amount of visitors at the Friday Leader’s Dinner meeting. This will give us an estimate of the amount of food to prepare. The cost of the Friday evening meal is $5.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children under the age of 12. Visitors may purchase meal tickets from the Program Office as they enter camp. Kids under age six eat free. Visitors at any time other than Friday should make prior arrangements with the Camp Director. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. PHONE A telephone is located at the Camp Osage Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continuous use of the telephone by the Scouts.

A good exercise is to think about your perfect week at camp and bring items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the week fishing don’t forget to bring your rod and tackle box. To help you keep from forgetting those important items, we have a list to help you with your packing. Personal Firearms or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp: only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp as well. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Reservation Director when the unit checks-in. It will be returned when the unit checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind or fireworks are allowed in camp. This is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. Finally we recommend that items such as radios, tape players, electronic games, and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Summer camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. �14 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 2005 MERIT BADGE program for camp osage NEW !

Whether you are in an older Boy Scout Troop Patrol or a co-ed Venture Crew, the Ozark Venture Base has something that meets your need. Scouts participating in the OVB must be at least 13 years of age and have achieved the rank of First Class by January 1st. Preregistration for these programs is mandatory. This is an intensive program in which much physical exertion will be required. Scouts will be in session all morning, afternoons, and evenings with the exception of Friday evening. All participants in the OUT program will be housed at a separate base camp location from their Scouting unit. Kia Kima’s Ozark Adventure Base Participants may be co-ed, as long as all participants are registered members of a Boy Scout Troop or Venturing Crew. If a Venturing Crew brings female members, a female adult leader must participate. Ozark Venture Base will provide food, cooking gear, other group equipment, an orientation on Sunday night, and maps. Participants are responsible for all personal gear, including tents.

Each crew that participates will go through 1-2 days of each program depending on the time frame. Scouts will have an opportunity to visit many of the back areas of the Syllamo Wilderness area. Crews will spend and entire day riding and learning about proper mountain biking techniques. The Syllamo Bike trail offers scouts the opportunity to bike over 30 miles of much more. For those scouts that have earned the canoeing merit badge, you will be able to complete white water merit badge. Please note that canoeing is a prerequisite for this badge. After a long day on the river, you will return to camp for an evening of Climbing Instruction. This will prepare you for the full day of Rock climbing that lies ahead. We have searched and found many local areas that contain climbing faces from 30-80 feet. This is a very strenuous activity but when you are finished you will have completed climbing merit badge. After a week like this, we decided that you need a little time to cool off. Well, it’s not time to relax in the trails in with varying degrees of difficulty. Scouts participating in this program are encouraged to bring their own mountain bikes. Kia Kima does have a supply of mountain bikes for those Scouts that do not own one or are not able to transport it to camp. When you get tired of sitting in the saddle for a day, don’t get too relaxed just yet. After a little instruction, you will be ready to head for the Spring River. Don’t worry, you’re not going there just to sight see. You will paddle the Class II and III white water in a kayak. Our instructors will teach you the in and outs of manning your own whitewater kayak. While on the trip, you will learn about reading whitewater, river rescue techniques, surfing, and �2005 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 29 air conditioning just yet.

The activities that he participates in will stay with him long after he grows into manhood. This summer we will showcase Scouting for units not only in the Chickasaw Council, but for units in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Missouri. Our goal is to provide quality instruction in a wilderness setting to young men as they prepare to become our country’s leaders. In order to provide this quality program, planning must begin now. Please review the Leaders’ Guide to Summer Camp 2005, and note your questions to me for a prompt answer. I encourage you to make this camp available to every boy in your unit.

To prepare for this summer, it is necessary for units to make financial commitments to reserve space for each Scout attending. Units are required to make a payment of $30.00 per Scout by March 31, 2005. This will reserve space for these Scouts. It is possible to add campers later but only with permission of the Reservation Director and with available space. The $30.00 payment will be applied to the total camp fee. The next payment is due when registering Scouts for sessions. $75 per Scout is required with registration and is due by May 15th. This deposit will also be applied to the total camp fee. This deposit is nonrefundable but may be transferred to other Scouts attending this event.

SCOUTS NEEDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Camperships are available to help Scouts who need financial assistance. The unit leader must make a request in writing by filling out a campership request for Kia Kima. All guidelines for campership applications can be found on the reverse side of the application. The deadline for camperships is April 15, 2005. The amount of the Campership will be based upon family income. The boy’s family, troop, and chartered organization should pool their resources first, with a campership request to meet the balance.

Please check in at the Camp Osage Administration Building. The camp is closed between noon on Saturday and noon on Sunday and there will be no one available to handle early arrivals. Upon arrival, your unit will be greeted by a member of the camp administrative staff. At that time the unit leader should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, merit badge schedules for the Scouts, and any unpaid fees with the Final Financial Form (KKSR3). The unit leader should have the unit’s medical form and a written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A troop guide will be assigned to the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the unit leader will take the troop to the Health Check area. The leader will bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check Form (KKSR4b). Everyone — youth and adult — must have a current health form. The re-check is to make sure no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. Abuddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health re-check will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering, so it is encouraged that all Scouts arrive in camp at the same time. The guide will take the unit to its campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded and vehicles returned to their parking areas. The troop guide will then take inventory of all equipment in the campsite if applicable. If any equipment is missing or damaged (holes in tents, missing fire buckets) the troop guide will note it and report it. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour.

At this meeting, unit leaders will get the opportunity to ask questions, get any updates on special events going on in camp, and the daily newsletter will be distributed. ! LEADERSHIP IN CAMP All units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. This policy is required by the Boy Scouts of America. All leaders must be registered members of the Boy Scouts and meet membership qualifications. The unit leader must be at least 21 years of age and any additional leadership must be 18 or older. Leader’s fees are $75 per week. This covers the cost of their food at camp. As an added incentive, you will receive two leaders free if you bring a minimum of 5 boys. TRADING POST Kia Kima operates two modern and efficient Trading Posts. Our Trading Posts stock many items that are related to the Scouts merit badges. In addition to crafts, the Trading Post also stocks concession items. Some of the items stocked are: Uniform Parts, Camp Ball Caps, Writing Paper, Craft Kits, Pocket Knives, Postcards, Slush Puppies, Pizza, Folding Chairs, Batteries, and Camp Patches. Most Scouts will spend on the average of $35-$50 in the trading post. This will 9 generally pay for merit badge materials and a few snacks throughout the week. Please budget accordingly! Kia Kima has no ATM, so please be sure your Scouts bring enough cash. The trading post is open most hours of the day and evening with the exception of meals and camp-wide activities VISITORS Visitor’s night at camp is Friday evening. At this time, parents will have the opportunity to eat with their sons in the dining hall and attend the closing campfire. Visitors should not plan to arrive before 5:00 PM, as Scouts will be involved in merit badge sessions. The Campfire will conclude around 9:30 PM so visitors should plan to leave shortly thereafter so Scouts and Leaders can get a good night’s sleep. The Program Director will be asking for a head count of the amount of visitors at the Friday Leader’s Dinner meeting. This will give us an estimate of the amount of food to prepare. The cost of the Friday evening meal is $5.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children under the age of 12. Visitors may purchase meal tickets from the Program Office as they enter camp. Kids under age six eat free. Visitors at any time other than Friday should make prior arrangements with the Camp Director. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. PHONE A telephone is located at the Camp Osage Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continuous use of the telephone by the Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents phone bill. We do ask that leaders accompany their Scouts at the phone. 10 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp CAMP OSAGE Since 1964, Camp Osage (originally the main camp) has been welcoming Scouts to the banks of the South Fork River. Camp Osage is the larger of the camps at Kia Kima Scout Reservation with 14 unique campsites to choose from. At Camp Osage, a troop will find traditional, though exceptional, camp programs including nature, ecology, scoutcraft, handicraft, shooting sports, the trailblazer 1st year program, and aquatics. All aquatic activities, including swimming and boating, are held at the Osage beach on the South Fork River. Programs unique to Osage include the Life to Eagle Area which offers Communications, Citizenship in the Nation, and World Merit Badges. FACILITIES FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Site #13, Dancing Bear, is a barrier free site at Camp Osage. It will accommodate up to 40 physically challenged Scouts and adult leaders. It is conveniently located near the Central Shower House. Units with special-needs Scouts are given priority in reserving this site. NOTE-Other units may reserve the site but may be relocated without notice if a need arises. HOUSING -- CAMP OSAGE Fourteen troop campsites are outfitted with two man wall tents on platforms. Each tent has two metal beds with mattresses. Each troop site has a latrine and facilities for handwashing and showers. A hot shower facility is centrally located. 2005 FOOD SERVICE -CAMP OSAGE Scouts attending Camp Osage eat in the camp’s dining hall. Meals are provided in a modified cafeteria-style fashion. A well-balanced menu has been designed to please both youth and adults. Troops eat together. Each troop provides a waiter for each table to clean up after meals. The waiter system will be explained at camp but should be rotated daily. Visitors desiring to eat in the dining hall should make arrangements in advance. Visitors should plan to eat with their troops at the assigned times. Visitor meal fees are $5.00. Troops at Osage may make arrangements to cook one or more meals in their campsites, using food supplied by the dining hall staff and equipment from troop issue. Troops can also arrange for evening meals to be carried on troop hikes or canoe floats. 24-hour notice is required for special food service arrangements. Troops may arrange for sack lunches from the dining hall for the trip home on Saturday at a cost of $3.00 each. !

A good exercise is to think about your perfect week at camp and bring items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the week fishing don’t forget to bring your rod and tackle box. To help you keep from forgetting those important items, we have a list to help you with your packing. Personal Firearms or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp: only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp as well. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Reservation Director when the unit checks-in. It will be returned when the unit checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind or fireworks are allowed in camp. This is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. Finally we recommend that items such as radios, tape players, electronic games, and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Summer camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. 14 Leader’s Guide to Summer Camp 2005 MERIT BADGE program for camp osage NEW !

Though creature comforts do exist at Cherokee, the troops who visit still enjoy the “rustic” setting and “village like” atmosphere. Camp Cherokee has eight campsites with several located along or near John Cooper Lake. Troops at Camp Cherokee will find traditional camp programs presented by a quality staff. Programs include Nature/Ecology, Scoutcraft, Handicraft, Shooting Sports, the Trailblazer Program, and Aquatics. Because of the limited capacity at Cherokee, most programs have great opportunities for small group sessions and personal instruction. The aquatics program on John Cooper Lake at Camp Cherokee provides Scouts an opportunity to experience the thrill of small boat sailing, in addition to Swimming, Lifesaving, Canoeing, Rowing, and BSA Lifeguard. The Kia Kima Mile Swim is also held at Camp Cherokee on Saturday mornings. John Cooper Lake is chocked full of fish, catfish, bream, crappie, and small mouth bass.

Leaders may rotate when necessary, but at least two adults must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the unit to camp must meet all of the above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest of your Scouts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack’s stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. The unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional “leader-space” is $45.00 for the week. Each leader-space provides meals, tentage, and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. Units that rotate leaders during the week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the week. For example, one leader might stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one leaderspace and pay only $45.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one leader-space. Additional patches are available for the purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number of leaders staying in camp at any one time. If, however, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire week, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading Post. Packs with a high 2006 The registration process at a (big long) glance Do this before March 1 (step 1) Pack count--The first step of the registration process is a pack count which indicates the number of Scouts from your pack attending resident camp. Complete the Pack count/Campsite Request Form (KK1) and return it, with a payment of $20 per Scout, to the Chickasaw Council service center by March 1, 2006. Do this before May 15 (step 2) Program preregistration--This step registers Scouts for their activity programs. Complete the preregistration forms (Forms KK2, KK3, and KK4-if necessary) and return them with the deposit for each Scout to the Chickasaw Council service center by May 15, 2006. Preregistration for each Scout will not be processed until the required deposit is received. T-Shirt sizes--Each registered Scout will receive a resident camp tshirt. The shirt will feature a colorful image about resident camp. The sizes are as follows: youth medium, youth large, adult small, adult medium, adult large, adult extra-large, adult XXlarge. Please indicate t-shirt size of each Scout on the Program Preregistration Form (KK3). Do this when you get to resident camp Financial Summary Form--The final payment includes the balance of the camp fee, leaders’ fees, and any financial assistance allowances. This may be paid at check-in after arriving at camp. Complete the Financial Summary Form (KK 5) and bring this--and the balance of your payment--with you to camp. This form is a summary of all financial transactions and should be the last payment in the registration process. Check-in--The registration process is completed when you check in on Wednesday after arriving at Kia Kima. In the case of an emergency, we need a copy of your pack’s roster that includes the phone number of each Scout. You may use your own format, or for your convenience the pack Roster (KK 6) is provided in the Registration Information booklet. If your unit conducted swim checks prior to camp, bring the optional Swin Check Form (KK 7) with you to camp. Do not mail these forms; have them ready at check-in. Also, when you check in at the Administration Building, we will update schedules, settle any remaining balances and complete any last paperwork. ratio of leaders to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure enough tent space for everyone.

All resident camp Confirmation & changes When we receive your program registration materials from step 2, we will send you an email indicating that we have received your registration and noting if anything is missing. We will contact you if any complications arise when we review your information. This confirmation will also let you know which campsite you will be staying in for your stay at camp. Our Administration staff must take into account the needs of the entire camp in respect to camping arrangements, parking and facilities needs when making decisions about your pack. We hope to communicate this confirmation to you as early as June 1, 2006. While we try to accommodate all schedule requests, the administration reserves the right to limit correspondence and registration material should be sent to the Council Office until the end of May. Starting in June, all correspondence should be sent directly to camp. The addresses for both locations are listed above. To allow enough time to receive and process registration, do not send any money or registration materials through the Postal Service less than two weeks prior to your arrival at camp. Fax and email service is available 24 hours a day for your convenience. Medical Forms All Scouts and leaders attending camp must have a physical examination before coming to camp, and must have the proper medical form completed. Scouts and leaders must have an annual examination. The examination must be by a physician licensed to practice medicine. Youth participants and adults under the age of 40 should use the Personal Health and Medical Record—Class 3 (no. 34412). These forms are available in your Registration Packet—please make copies for your pack or pick them up at the Dunavant Scout Center. Please use the most current version of each �4 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide form. Older versions of the medical forms cannot be accepted. Each Scout and leader will have a health recheck after his arrival as part of the check-in procedure. The pack’s medical forms will be kept on file for the week with the camp’s Health Officer. They will be returned to the Cubmaster at the end of the week. Adult leaders who will be in camp for less than 72 hours are not required to have a complete physical; however, a personal examination health history (Class 1 medical form) is still required. Even if a leader is arriving late in the week all efforts should be made to have that person’s health history with the pack during check-in, so that the health officer can review the forms, even before the leader arrives. If a Scout or leader is arriving late to resident camp, and they were not able to give the health forms to the leader before camp, then they will need to give these forms to the Health Officer upon arrival in camp. Please make arrangements for physical examinations before summer camp. Any Scout or leader who does not have a completed health form— including the examination—will be restricted from all camp activities until an examination has been given. There are no provisions for an examination to be given at camp. Also, make sure that each health form has been signed by all parties in the appropriate places. Please keep a copy of each Scout’s physical for your records. Transportation & parking Each unit is responsible for the safe transportation of its members to and from camp, and to make sure that all vehicles meet national insurance 2006 requirements. Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup truck or trailer—whether it is covered or uncovered—is against the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, as well as poor judgment. In addition, units visiting Kia Kima from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area between the main gate and the Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during the week. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box will provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end of this guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed. Pack vehicles will be permitted into camp during check-in and checkout for the purposes of loading and unloading of personal and pack equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 7 miles per hour. No vehicles will be allowed to operate in camp or be parked in the campsite after check-in without permission of the Resident Camp Director. �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide What to bring Other than some basic items, different people and packs will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect stay at camp and bring the items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the afternoon fishing on the edge of the lake, don’t forget your fishing rod and tackle box. Unit equipment To help keep you from forgetting those all important items, we have a list to help you when you are packing. · · · · · · · · · · Pack flag · First aid kits Den flags · Bow saws Lanterns · Rope Extra plastic · Brooms Water hose · Lawn chairs Canteen · T-shirts Ice chest full of favorite drinks (water is the best) Camp stove and coffee pot Rank book so things can be signed off at camp Complete Scout uniform Personal equipment · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Shorts or long pants · Swim trunks Underwear · Socks Sun glasses · Hat, if desired Sweater or jacket · Camera Extra shoes or boots · Insect repellent Sun tan lotion (sunscreen) Poncho or rain gear Notebook/pencil or pen Watch (very important) Wallet (extra spending money) Washcloth and towel Sun tan lotion (sunscreen) Toilet articles (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc., no glass bottles) Flashlight with new batteries Sleeping bag or sheets & blankets Alarm clock (optional) Footlocker or suitcase or backpack 5 Tips Tip 1--A daypack (book bag) is recommended to help keep things together while hiking around camp from day to day. An extra gallon-sized ziplock bag keeps those wet swim trunks off the other dry items in the pack. Tip 2--Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level of walking and can result in a trip home—or worse—to the hospital. Tip 3--Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4--With the heat and humidity of June, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the week. What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. We recommend that items such as radios, tape players, electronic games and other electronic devises not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. �6 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 What to do when you get to resident camp Safety While we want every Scout to have a fun and exciting stay at resident camp, safety is a top priority in our program, in the campsite and around camp. Please take note of the policies and procedures to ensure a fun and safe experience. In case of accident or emergency Kia Kima has a Health Lodge that is open 24 hours a day and is manned by staff members trained in handling minor accidents and illnesses. In addition, Kia Kima has a working arrangement with physicians in Hardy for the treatment of more serious cases. If this kind of treatment is required, the Scout’s parents will be notified by telephone, and their wishes concerning treatment will be respected. If such a trip is required, we ask that one of the Scout’s leaders drive him to the hospital. This way, the Health Officer will still be in camp to treat any other potential injuries. At the health recheck, the camp reserves the right to refuse admittance to any Scout or leader who, in the opinion of the Camp Director and Health Officer, has any physical or medical problem that could present a hazard to himself or others. If a Scout or leader has any special medication, it may be kept in the Health Lodge. Fire Safety Kia Kima has a fire and emergency alarm system. This system will be explained at the leaders’ meeting on the first evening you are in camp, and a test of the system will be conducted early in the week. Some fire fighting equipment (rakes, shovels, fire buckets) is available in each campsite, or from the Quartermaster. If there is an emergency, this equipment will be used by members of the camp staff. This equipment is not to be used by Scouts; Scouts do not fight fires under any circumstances. Packs should plan to arrive at Kia Kima for resident camp between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM Wednesday afternoon. No one will be available to conduct check-in before this time. Under no circumstances shall flames of any kind be used in any tent or adirondack. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled “NO Flames in Tents.” This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. Flashlights or batterypowered lanterns-which do not pose the threat of fire or asphyxiation-are the only acceptable light for use in tents. �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Liquid & LP Fuels Liquid-fueled equipment (kerosene, gasoline, white gas, etc.) is to be used only by adults. Lanterns or stoves may be used at campsites, under adult supervision. Empty propane cylinders should be taken home with the pack and not placed in fireplaces or trashcans, as they may explode when heated. The check-in process at a glance Paperwork The Cubmaster and assistant report to the Administration Building wth all the pack’s registration forms, money and medical forms. Here you will meet your pack guide, who will guide you through the rest of the check-in process. Health recheck The pack guide and assistant leader will take the pack to the Administration Building to start health rechecks, while the Cubmaster finishes the paperwork. Pack photograph After the health recheck, the pack has the opportunity to get a group photo made. Campsite and camp tour The pack guide will take you to your campsite where you can unload gear and prepare for the camp tour. There are a couple of required stops on the camp tour--the Aquatics area (for swim checks and safety procedures), and the Dining Hall (where you’ll learn how to eat...OK, just kidding!). It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up any needed equipment. Supper Supper at check-in. Also, when youshould check in at the Building, we Scouts and leaders wear theAdministration complete uniform to supper. will update schedules, settle any remaining balances and complete any Vespers and leaders’ meeting Vespers will be held in the Chapel on Friday nights. The Cubmaster should attend the leaders’ meeting in the Administration Building after Vespers. Campfire Your pack will meet the resident camp staff at the opening campfire. Scouts and leaders should wear the complete Scout uniform. 7 Arriving Packs should plan to arrive at Kia Kima between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7th. No one will be available to handle early arrivals. Check-in The first thing the Cubmaster should do is report to the Administration Building with an assistant, where they will meet the camp administrative staff. At that time, the Cubmaster should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, Scout schedules, and any unpaid fees as determined on the Financial Summary form. The assistant should have the pack’s medical forms and written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A pack guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the assistant leader will take the unit to the Training Center for the health recheck. The assistant leader should bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check form. Everyone, youth and adult, must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure that no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health recheck will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering in the Administration Building, so all members are encouraged to arrive at camp at the same time. The Cubmaster should account for any Scout or adult who will arrive late. Pack photographs Following the health recheck, the pack will have the opportunity for a photograph. A photographer will be �8 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide at camp on Wednesday afternoon for packs that would like to have a group picture. Scouts and leaders should be in their complete Scout uniforms. It is a good idea to have the pack arrive at camp dressed in complete uniform to look good for the picture. Prints will be 8x10 inches in size, and will be given to the Cubmaster at the end of the week. The pictures will cost $6.00 each, and will need to be paid for at the time they are ordered. Camp tour The pack guide will take the unit to the campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded, and vehicles returned to the parking area. The pack guide and the unit leader will take an inventory of all equipment in the campsite. If any equipment is damaged or missing (holes in tents, missing fire buckets, etc.) the pack guide will note it and report it. The pack guide will also report the number of tents in the site to ensure that each person has a place to sleep. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to camp will need to change into swim trunks for the camp tour. Remember that a shirt, and shoes with covered heel and toe, must be worn while in camp. The pack guide will take the pack on a tour of camp, pointing out camp landmarks and the various program areas. There are a couple of required stops, such as the Aquatics area, and the Dining Hall. Even if the pack has completed swim checks prior to camp, they still must visit the Aquatics area for safety procedures. It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up a fireguard chart and other equipment you may need in your campsite. 2006 After the tour, the pack may return to the campsite. This is a good time to get settled and prepare for supper. The Scout uniform is required for all evening meals and campfires. Leaders’ meetings A meeting of key leaders will be held on Wednesday after supper in the Administration Building. At this meeting, members of the camp staff will give an overview of camp policies and procedures, and special program activities that will be offered during the week. Also, an opportunity will be provided to answer questions. In addition, leaders’ meetings will be held each morning after breakfast. At this meeting, Cubmasters will get the opportunity to ask questions, and get updates on any special events going on in camp. The daily newsletter will be distributed at this meeting. Quartermaster In addition to what is in the campsite, the camp provides equipment through the camp Quartermaster. The Quartermaster is located beside the Trading Post. Items such as brooms, water hoses, cleaning agents, tools and American flags are available for checkout. These items must be returned-clean and in good condition-before the pack checks out. Packs are welcome to bring their own items (as listed above) from home. �2006 Tentage Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Since the uniform is worn so much, here are a few tips to help it stay fresh longer: • Don’t wear it at times when it does not have to be worn; change clothes after supper to avoid getting it dirty. • Bring a hanger for the shirt and keep the neckerchief and slide (if worn) in the same place each time so they won’t get lost. • It would be a good idea to have several pairs of Scout socks to avoid wearing the same pair all week. Generally speaking, all packs will be housed in standard two-person wall tents. These tents have wooden floors with steel beds and vinyl covered mattresses. If your pack wants to bring its own tentage to camp, this is permitted. Two-deep leadership rules still apply and adults cannot stay in tents with Scouts. The only possible exception is when a parent stays in the tent with their son. If your pack chooses to bring a portion of its own tents, please be sure that you communicate this to the resident Camp Director, as space for these tents can become a consideration. If a Scout or leader Dining Hall plans to utilize their own tents for lodging, With everyone visiting three times they should have the tent labeled “NO a day, the dining hall is the most popular Flames In Tents.” This can be stenciled on place in camp. Before each meal, packs line the tent or on a place card in front of the up in formation on the parade ground tent. Daily Schedule Each day follows the same schedule shown at the right. The schedule for Wednesday and Saturday may vary for check-in and check-out. On Wednesday and Friday the evening activity is a campwide campfire in the campfire arena starting at 8:15 p.m. Everyone in camp is expected to attend and wear his or her Scout uniform. There are a variety of activities available to choose from on the remaining evenings. Uniform The official Cub Scout summer field uniform is recommended for wear by both youth and adults while in camp. This uniform-commonly referred to as Class A uniform-is to be worn to supper each evening and to campwide activities such as campfires and Vespers. The Class B uniform consists of Scout shorts and a Scouting t-shirt and may be worn at all other times during camp.

The Officer of the Day, from the staff, will take roll call of the packs, lead grace, and at the morning and evening meals, lead the flag ceremony. Scouts and leaders should wear their complete Scout uniform to supper to retire the colors. After the meal, the Officer of the Day usually has some important announcements for the camp. We ask that all Scouts remain in the dining hall until dismissed by the staff. The waiter system is used in the dining hall for setting the tables and cleaning up after meals. It is important to stop at the dining hall during the camp tour for a demonstration of how the waiter system works. Some people have special dietary needs. We will work the best we can in accommodating these needs with the food that we have available. Dietary supplements should be brought from home for specific dietary requirements. 2006 Dangerous Wildlife Kia Kima is a Wilderness Setting. While visiting the outof-doors, it is common to encounter various forms of wildlife. Dangerous wildlife at Kia Kima could include, venomous snakes, spiders, ticks, etc. Bites from these animals are extremely rare but precautions should be taken. We will list a few tips to keep you comfortable at camp. Commissioner Staff After your pack guide finishes helping you check in, you probably won’t see him in your campsite again until you check out on Saturday. That is okay because we have a staff member with the full-time job of taking care of your needs during the week. That staff member is your Commissioner. The Commissioner staff will stop by the campsites each day to visit and will make sure you have all the supplies and equipment that you need. If there is something broken or missing in your site, they will work to see that it is fixed or replaced. You can also meet with your Commissioner at the morning leaders’ meeting. In addition, Commissioners are knowledgeable about the program and can answer questions or help you plan pack activities. A FEW HELPFUL TIPS FOR A COMFORTABLE AND SAFE CAMPING EXPERIENCE ♦ Wear closed-toed shoes ♦ Use insect repellents containing DEET or Permethrin ♦ Carry flashlights when walking at night ♦ Shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them ♦ Keep food out of tents ♦ Check for tick bites daily �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Shower Schedule Showers are available at the central showerhouse. The central showers accomodate adult males, females and youth. In order to adhere to youth protection policies, adults are not allowed to take showers with you under any circumstances. Dedicated showers for female Scouters are located at the central shower facility. Some campsites have built-in cold showers. Vespers & chaplain Vespers is a short fellowship service held on Friday evening. Vespers is held in the Chapel, located above the campfire arena. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Members of the Commissioner staff will conduct Vespers services, with assistance from visiting clergy. In addition, they can provide assistance with homesick Scouts. Scouts and units may volunteer to assist with Vespers during the week. Scouts who are working on a religious award are especially encouraged to do so. Wolf, Bear & Webelos Please realize that the age and rank of each Scout in your pack needs to be carefully examined before registering for programs. Take a close look at the Program Preregistration form and be sure to register your Scouts for the correct program for resident camp. In other words, think now as if you are in June, 2006 already. Your current Tiger Cubs will now become Wolves. Wolves become Bears and so forth. 11 of: Aquanaut, Artist, Craftsman, Naturalist, Geologist, Forester, Readyman, Scientist, Sportsman, and the Conservation Award. Looking ahead to 2007 In 2007, Webelos will be able to pass off requirements that include all or part of: Aquanaut, Forester, Geologist, Outdoorsman, Naturalist, Readyman, and the World Conservation Award. Try to plan your year-round program around what a Scout might be able to earn apart from camp, so that he can receive his Arrow of Light. Campfires Campfires bring out the spirit and fun of camp. We have two campfires planned for resident camp. Wednesday night will feature a grand opening campfire. It will kick off the week with an exciting beginning. Songs, cheers, stunts, and the chance to meet the whole staff will be just a few of the treats in store. On Friday night, we will have our closing campfire. Awards and many neat activities are also planned for this campfire. Visitors are encouraged to attend these campfires. All campfires start at 8:30 p.m., and should conclude around 9:15 p.m. Any visitors in camp should plan to depart after the campfire show has ended. Packs that wish to do a skit for this special closing campfire are encouraged to do so. The number of skits will be limited, due to the campfire length, therefore, check with the Program Director when you arrive at camp. Skits or stunts that throw water or that do not follow the good spirit of Scouting will not be used. Packs should practice their skits during their week of camp, so plan early. Fishing Permits Fishing is a popular activity with many Scouts. Anyone wishing to fish during the week will need to obtain a Fishing Permit. Permits will be issued at the beginning of the week following a fishing orientation and safety session. Advancement at camp The fishing program at Kia Kima is strictly a Scouts are reminded to bring their rank book catch-and-release program. These specially designed (Wolf, Bear, or Webelos Handbooks).

The Trading Post is open during the day and evening, except at meals and during campwide activities. It is a popular place for Scouts and leaders to get a snack and relax. Visa and MasterCard are accepted; however, ATM and debit cards are not. Lost & found A central lost and found area is located at the Trading Post. If you lose something during the week, check with the Trading Post staff to see if it has been turned in. In addition, the Aquatics area has a small lost and found area. At the end of resident camp, all lost and found items will be boxed and stored. After camp closes for the summer, lost and found items Postal mail will be kept until November 1. To make it easier to Scouts may receive mail at camp. Please send recover lost items, Scouts should clearly mark their mail addressed as follows: personal possessions with their name and pack number. Scout’s Name and Pack Number Address of camp Telephone Please be sure to include the Scout’s pack number on all mail; this will make it much easier to route the mail to the proper recipient. Also include a return address on all mail in case a letter arrives at camp after the Scout has left. Mail service is dependable, but it is recommended that mail not be sent to camp later than the day the pack checks into camp. For such a short session as resident camp, it is recommended that parents mail their letters before the Scout arrives. A letter or postcard can take from two to four days to reach camp. Any letters or packages that contain currency or valuables should be insured. A telephone is located outside the Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continued use of the telephone by Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents’ phone bill. Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the telephone number is 870-257-4935. This telephone is located in the camp office and is manned from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with the exception of lunch. There may be a staff member in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however, that this is the camp’s business Electronic mail phone and parents will not be able to talk to their Scouts may also receive e-mail while at children.

These messages are filtered and will not be delivered. E-mail is a service provided for parents and friends to send messages to people during their stay at camp. This service is not intended for business use nor is it guaranteed delivery or privacy. The official Internet site for resident camp and for Kia Kima Scout Reservation provides the latest updates about preparing for camp. This is an excellent resource for parents, leaders and Scouts. www.kiakima.com Leaders will find information about summer camp, registration and last-minute updates. It is also a convenient way to submit last-minute schedule changes before coming to camp. Parents can find pictures from the week while their Scout is at camp. They will also be able to find out how to send mail or e-mail to their son during the week. Scouts can find a list of what to bring to camp and helpful hints; after camp, they can see the pictures of their week at camp. 13 Visitors Visitors should plan to arrive at Kia Kima in accordance with the daily schedule of activities. Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30 p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night’s sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should park, check in at the Administration Building, and then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the camp-wide speed limit is 7 mph. If desired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for their meal from the administration Building as they enter camp. The meal price is reasonable and the meals are served on a regular schedule. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back of the line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout’s Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. �14 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 Camp rules & hints • • • • • • • • • • • No riding in the back of trucks. All Scouts riding in a vehicle should have a seat belt and be fastened in. Throwing things at camp, like rocks and sticks, is not permitted, especially around the lake area and along the creek banks in camp. Running in camp should be limited to the open fields and play areas. Kia Kima does not have many flat or level areas on which to run. Roadways and paths are not designed for running. No open-toed shoes like flip flops or sandals except in the shower facility. Bare feet are limited to three places: behind the fenced-in area at the waterfront, in the shower, and in the bed. At all other times, you should have your shoes on. The buddy system means two or more Scouts go everywhere in camp together. Cubs and Webelos should be aware of where their buddy is at all times. Scouts should not be sent to the campsite alone, or on any trip out of a leader’s view without a buddy or a leader. Camp is a big place and Scouts often get turned around while walking a common trail, even if they have traveled that way many times before. Any campfire started in the campsite should be completely extinguished before leaving the site for any reason. Unattended fires in camp can be very dangerous. Try to keep knife use to a minimum. Open knives in crowded areas and walking with an open knife pose great dangers. Individuals who have knives should be considerate of others and use those knives safely. Please do not cut live trees, no matter how big or small they are. Walking sticks are sold in the camp Trading Post, or may be made from limbs or trees that are already dead and down. Please do not disfigure the trees, bushes, or shrubs. If you dig holes for any reason, please fill them up when you are finished. Leaving open holes in activity fields and campsite areas poses a tripping hazard. • • Please do not hang wet clothes inside your tent. Also, do not attach clotheslines to the tent, as these put stress on the tent and can cause it to fall down. Clotheslines in campsites should be hung with colored or white cord and as high off the ground as possible to avoid Scouts or leaders walking into them. Please remove any clotheslines that you hang up before leaving camp. �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 15 When it’s time to go back to the world Coming and going The safety and security of every Scout is of paramount concern to all leaders and staff. To enhance our security efforts we will require that parents, leaders, or Scouts who are checking into camp over the course of the week to register at the Administration Building. Scouts who are leaving camp early will need to check out at the Administration Building with our staff, while being accompanied by an adult from the pack to authorize the departure. There will be a security guard posted at the front gate each evening. Troop leaders should encourage all guests and visitors to depart by 9:30 p.m. If there are particular concerns of an individual Scout’s well being and protection, the Cubmaster should contact the Resident Camp Director. Check-out The checkout procedure will begin on Saturday, and should be completed before 10:30 a.m. Any unit with special checkout considerations should make plans through the Program Director or the Resident Camp Director. Activity records and health forms will be given to each unit at the Saturday breakfast assembly. After breakfast, the pack will return, with the pack guide, to the campsite to pack their gear and clean up the site. Vehicles will be allowed in camp to load personal and unit equipment. The pack guide and Cubmaster will conduct another inventory to make sure that no equipment has been misplaced or damaged during the week. Borrowed equipment will be returned to the Quartermaster, and the pack guide will inspect the site to be certain that it is clean. The cost of any damaged property or equipment will be charged to the pack. The Cubmaster should stop by the Administration Building on the way out of camp. The check-out process at a glance Paperwork The pack will receive a packet at breakfast containing health forms and program materials. Review this before you leave to make sure that it is all correct, and that it all belongs to your pack. Campsite Return to the campsite with your pack guide. Pack up all your gear and clean up the site one last time. Remember that other units will be using this site in future weeks. Trash Bag up all trash and take it to the edge of the road to be picked up. Quartermaster Return any borrowed equipment before you leave camp. Administration Building Before leaving camp, stop by the Administration Building to take care of any last-minute paperwork, settle any debts, and take care of any other business. �16 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 All the stuff to do while you’re at camp Wolf program activities Achievements 1h 5a,b,c,d,e 10b 10c Swim as far as you can walk in fifteen steps Tools for fixing and building Take a nature walk in the woods or visit the Scout Museum with your parent Attend a live program with your parent at the OA Arena Electives 11c 14b 14d 18f 18g 19d 20b 20c Learn the words of three Cub Scout songs at meals or during the OA program Learn what to do when you meet strange animals Understand what it means for an animal to have rabies Take part in two summertime pack events (Resident Camp counts as one event) Learn to identify poisonous plants and what to do if you touch them Know the rules of safe fishing Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics Area Reviewed archery safety rules at the Archery Range Cub Scout Conservation Award (found on page 216 of the Wolf Book) Wolf program areas Nature Area-Reptiles and animals; plants and nature hike Handicrafts-Crafts designed for Lost World Archery Range/Rifle Range-Shoot arrows and BB guns Waterfront-Swimming and boating Rappelling Tower-Climb the new Cub portion of the tower Fishing-Learn the rules, get a permit, and then catch some fish Also-Learn about tools for fixing and building and making it yourself �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 17 Bear program activities Achievements 5d 10a 11b 11e 12 b 12d 20a 22a,b,c,d Visit the Nature Center If you are a Resident Camper with a parent then you achieved this Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics Area Got a physical examination prior to Resident Camp Went on a nature hike while with a family member Attend the outdoor program at the OA Arena Show how to use and take care of tools Tying it all up Electives 2a 2e 5e 5f 9a 19c 19d 20a Learn how to read a thermometer Learn how to identify three types of clouds Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics area If you rowed in a boat with an adult at camp Make an art craft while at camp Rest by floating in the water on your back for at least one minute Tell what the buddy system means and the basic rules of safe swimming and simple rescue Review archery safety rules at the Archery Range World Conservation Award (found on page 256 of the Bear Book) Wolf program areas Scoutcraft—Learn about tying knots so you can be “Tying it all up” Handicrafts—Crafts designed for Lost World Archery Range/Rifle Range—Shoot arrows and BB guns Rappelling Tower—Climb the new Cub portion of the tower and play games Waterfront—Swimming and boating Nature Area—Weather Also—Learn about building things with wood with our “Sawdust and Nails” Program �18 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 Webelos program activities First year Webelos program Aquanaut Get ready to get wet!

Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp staff, and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established camp, several hiking trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you’d just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim). Check with the Aquatics staff to find out the requirements for taking out a boat, or talk to your Commissioner. Other activities such as BB shoots, climbing, games, and crafts may be available as well. Information about special activities will be distributed at leaders’ meeting, or again, ask your Commissioner. �22 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 How to get to Camp Kia Kima �2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Kia Kima Scout Reservation 23 �Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 Notes Use this space for all those last-minute reminders you’ll neet to make yourself. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Our goal is to provide a safe haven for each Scout amid a beautiful wilderness setting. These fun-filled days spent in camp will make memories that last a lifetime. This leaders’ guide was assembled and organized to help you plan a successful summer camping experience for every boy in your pack. As you can see, there is truly something for everyone. Each boy is welcome at Kia Kima, and in fact, these boys are why we are here, standing ready to help guide you in your summer camping efforts. We hope each boy in your unit gets every opportunity to attend this year’s camp. I encourage you to get fully involved in this year’s theme: “The Pirates Ship, Search for the Lost Treasure”. Come to camp equipped with costumes, projects, props and articles that show enthusiasm of true Scoutlike spirit to have a fun week with your pack. On behalf of the Chickasaw Council and the Kia Kima staff, we look forward to seeing you in June. In Scouting, Drew Armstrong Reservation Director PROLOGUE: Take a step back into yester year where the swashbuckling bands of pirates roamed the high seas. Many of these pirates travelled up the mighty Mississippi looting and hiding treasure. One such pirate, the dreaded Homer Dearmin, visited the lands we now know as Kia Kima. On one such visit Homer and his crew of men left behind a treasure chest filled with all sorts of riches. Join us on this exciting resident camp adventure as we search for the clues to Homer’s lost treasure! 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 1 Stuff to do to come to resident camp Once you have requested a Scout in the pack who has not yet campsite, it is time to start preparing registered.

It is possible to add Scouts after this date, pending available space and permission from the Resident Camp Director. This $20.00 payment is nonrefundable, but will be used as payment toward the camp fee. The next payment is due with the second step. An additional $40.00 deposit per Scout is due with Financial Preregistration form (KK2) and is due by May 15, 2006. This deposit will also be applied to the total camp fee. It is nonrefundable unless there are extenuating circumstances. It may be transferred, however, to a different 2 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Any additional leaders must be at least 18 years of age. Leaders may rotate when necessary, but at least two adults must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the unit to camp must meet all of the above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest of your Scouts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack’s stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. The unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional “leader-space” is $45.00 for the week. Each leader-space provides meals, tentage, and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. Units that rotate leaders during the week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the week. For example, one leader might stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one leaderspace and pay only $45.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one leader-space. Additional patches are available for the purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number of leaders staying in camp at any one time. If, however, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire week, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading Post. Packs with a high 2006 The registration process at a (big long) glance Do this before March 1 (step 1) Pack count--The first step of the registration process is a pack count which indicates the number of Scouts from your pack attending resident camp. Complete the Pack count/Campsite Request Form (KK1) and return it, with a payment of $20 per Scout, to the Chickasaw Council service center by March 1, 2006. Do this before May 15 (step 2) Program preregistration--This step registers Scouts for their activity programs. Complete the preregistration forms (Forms KK2, KK3, and KK4-if necessary) and return them with the deposit for each Scout to the Chickasaw Council service center by May 15, 2006. Preregistration for each Scout will not be processed until the required deposit is received. T-Shirt sizes--Each registered Scout will receive a resident camp tshirt. The shirt will feature a colorful image about resident camp. The sizes are as follows: youth medium, youth large, adult small, adult medium, adult large, adult extra-large, adult XXlarge. Please indicate t-shirt size of each Scout on the Program Preregistration Form (KK3). Do this when you get to resident camp Financial Summary Form--The final payment includes the balance of the camp fee, leaders’ fees, and any financial assistance allowances. This may be paid at check-in after arriving at camp. Complete the Financial Summary Form (KK 5) and bring this--and the balance of your payment--with you to camp. This form is a summary of all financial transactions and should be the last payment in the registration process. Check-in--The registration process is completed when you check in on Wednesday after arriving at Kia Kima. In the case of an emergency, we need a copy of your pack’s roster that includes the phone number of each Scout. You may use your own format, or for your convenience the pack Roster (KK 6) is provided in the Registration Information booklet. If your unit conducted swim checks prior to camp, bring the optional Swin Check Form (KK 7) with you to camp. Do not mail these forms; have them ready at check-in. Also, when you check in at the Administration Building, we will update schedules, settle any remaining balances and complete any last paperwork. ratio of leaders to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure enough tent space for everyone.

All resident camp Confirmation & changes When we receive your program registration materials from step 2, we will send you an email indicating that we have received your registration and noting if anything is missing. We will contact you if any complications arise when we review your information. This confirmation will also let you know which campsite you will be staying in for your stay at camp. Our Administration staff must take into account the needs of the entire camp in respect to camping arrangements, parking and facilities needs when making decisions about your pack. We hope to communicate this confirmation to you as early as June 1, 2006. While we try to accommodate all schedule requests, the administration reserves the right to limit correspondence and registration material should be sent to the Council Office until the end of May. Starting in June, all correspondence should be sent directly to camp. The addresses for both locations are listed above. To allow enough time to receive and process registration, do not send any money or registration materials through the Postal Service less than two weeks prior to your arrival at camp. Fax and email service is available 24 hours a day for your convenience. Medical Forms All Scouts and leaders attending camp must have a physical examination before coming to camp, and must have the proper medical form completed. Scouts and leaders must have an annual examination. The examination must be by a physician licensed to practice medicine. Youth participants and adults under the age of 40 should use the Personal Health and Medical Record—Class 3 (no. 34412). These forms are available in your Registration Packet—please make copies for your pack or pick them up at the Dunavant Scout Center. Please use the most current version of each 4 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide form. Older versions of the medical forms cannot be accepted. Each Scout and leader will have a health recheck after his arrival as part of the check-in procedure. The pack’s medical forms will be kept on file for the week with the camp’s Health Officer. They will be returned to the Cubmaster at the end of the week. Adult leaders who will be in camp for less than 72 hours are not required to have a complete physical; however, a personal examination health history (Class 1 medical form) is still required. Even if a leader is arriving late in the week all efforts should be made to have that person’s health history with the pack during check-in, so that the health officer can review the forms, even before the leader arrives. If a Scout or leader is arriving late to resident camp, and they were not able to give the health forms to the leader before camp, then they will need to give these forms to the Health Officer upon arrival in camp. Please make arrangements for physical examinations before summer camp. Any Scout or leader who does not have a completed health form— including the examination—will be restricted from all camp activities until an examination has been given. There are no provisions for an examination to be given at camp. Also, make sure that each health form has been signed by all parties in the appropriate places. Please keep a copy of each Scout’s physical for your records. Transportation & parking Each unit is responsible for the safe transportation of its members to and from camp, and to make sure that all vehicles meet national insurance 2006 requirements. Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup truck or trailer—whether it is covered or uncovered—is against the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, as well as poor judgment. In addition, units visiting Kia Kima from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area between the main gate and the Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during the week. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box will provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end of this guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed. Pack vehicles will be permitted into camp during check-in and checkout for the purposes of loading and unloading of personal and pack equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 7 miles per hour. No vehicles will be allowed to operate in camp or be parked in the campsite after check-in without permission of the Resident Camp Director. 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide What to bring Other than some basic items, different people and packs will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect stay at camp and bring the items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the afternoon fishing on the edge of the lake, don’t forget your fishing rod and tackle box. Unit equipment To help keep you from forgetting those all important items, we have a list to help you when you are packing. · · · · · · · · · · Pack flag · First aid kits Den flags · Bow saws Lanterns · Rope Extra plastic · Brooms Water hose · Lawn chairs Canteen · T-shirts Ice chest full of favorite drinks (water is the best) Camp stove and coffee pot Rank book so things can be signed off at camp Complete Scout uniform Personal equipment · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Shorts or long pants · Swim trunks Underwear · Socks Sun glasses · Hat, if desired Sweater or jacket · Camera Extra shoes or boots · Insect repellent Sun tan lotion (sunscreen) Poncho or rain gear Notebook/pencil or pen Watch (very important) Wallet (extra spending money) Washcloth and towel Sun tan lotion (sunscreen) Toilet articles (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc., no glass bottles) Flashlight with new batteries Sleeping bag or sheets & blankets Alarm clock (optional) Footlocker or suitcase or backpack 5 Tips Tip 1--A daypack (book bag) is recommended to help keep things together while hiking around camp from day to day. An extra gallon-sized ziplock bag keeps those wet swim trunks off the other dry items in the pack. Tip 2--Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level of walking and can result in a trip home—or worse—to the hospital. Tip 3--Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4--With the heat and humidity of June, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the week. What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. We recommend that items such as radios, tape players, electronic games and other electronic devises not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. 6 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 What to do when you get to resident camp Safety While we want every Scout to have a fun and exciting stay at resident camp, safety is a top priority in our program, in the campsite and around camp. Please take note of the policies and procedures to ensure a fun and safe experience. In case of accident or emergency Kia Kima has a Health Lodge that is open 24 hours a day and is manned by staff members trained in handling minor accidents and illnesses. In addition, Kia Kima has a working arrangement with physicians in Hardy for the treatment of more serious cases. If this kind of treatment is required, the Scout’s parents will be notified by telephone, and their wishes concerning treatment will be respected. If such a trip is required, we ask that one of the Scout’s leaders drive him to the hospital. This way, the Health Officer will still be in camp to treat any other potential injuries. At the health recheck, the camp reserves the right to refuse admittance to any Scout or leader who, in the opinion of the Camp Director and Health Officer, has any physical or medical problem that could present a hazard to himself or others. If a Scout or leader has any special medication, it may be kept in the Health Lodge. Fire Safety Kia Kima has a fire and emergency alarm system. This system will be explained at the leaders’ meeting on the first evening you are in camp, and a test of the system will be conducted early in the week. Some fire fighting equipment (rakes, shovels, fire buckets) is available in each campsite, or from the Quartermaster. If there is an emergency, this equipment will be used by members of the camp staff. This equipment is not to be used by Scouts; Scouts do not fight fires under any circumstances. Packs should plan to arrive at Kia Kima for resident camp between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM Wednesday afternoon. No one will be available to conduct check-in before this time. Under no circumstances shall flames of any kind be used in any tent or adirondack. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled “NO Flames in Tents.” This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. Flashlights or batterypowered lanterns-which do not pose the threat of fire or asphyxiation-are the only acceptable light for use in tents. 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Liquid & LP Fuels Liquid-fueled equipment (kerosene, gasoline, white gas, etc.) is to be used only by adults. Lanterns or stoves may be used at campsites, under adult supervision. Empty propane cylinders should be taken home with the pack and not placed in fireplaces or trashcans, as they may explode when heated.

Campsite and camp tour The pack guide will take you to your campsite where you can unload gear and prepare for the camp tour. There are a couple of required stops on the camp tour--the Aquatics area (for swim checks and safety procedures), and the Dining Hall (where you’ll learn how to eat...OK, just kidding!). It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up any needed equipment. Supper Supper at check-in. Also, when youshould check in at the Building, we Scouts and leaders wear theAdministration complete uniform to supper. will update schedules, settle any remaining balances and complete any Vespers and leaders’ meeting Vespers will be held in the Chapel on Friday nights. The Cubmaster should attend the leaders’ meeting in the Administration Building after Vespers. Campfire Your pack will meet the resident camp staff at the opening campfire. Scouts and leaders should wear the complete Scout uniform. 7 Arriving Packs should plan to arrive at Kia Kima between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7th. No one will be available to handle early arrivals. Check-in The first thing the Cubmaster should do is report to the Administration Building with an assistant, where they will meet the camp administrative staff. At that time, the Cubmaster should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, Scout schedules, and any unpaid fees as determined on the Financial Summary form. The assistant should have the pack’s medical forms and written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A pack guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the assistant leader will take the unit to the Training Center for the health recheck. The assistant leader should bring the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check form. Everyone, youth and adult, must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure that no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health recheck will be going on at the same time the unit leader is registering in the Administration Building, so all members are encouraged to arrive at camp at the same time. The Cubmaster should account for any Scout or adult who will arrive late. Pack photographs Following the health recheck, the pack will have the opportunity for a photograph. A photographer will be 8 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide at camp on Wednesday afternoon for packs that would like to have a group picture. Scouts and leaders should be in their complete Scout uniforms. It is a good idea to have the pack arrive at camp dressed in complete uniform to look good for the picture. Prints will be 8x10 inches in size, and will be given to the Cubmaster at the end of the week. The pictures will cost $6.00 each, and will need to be paid for at the time they are ordered. Camp tour The pack guide will take the unit to the campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded, and vehicles returned to the parking area. The pack guide and the unit leader will take an inventory of all equipment in the campsite. If any equipment is damaged or missing (holes in tents, missing fire buckets, etc.) the pack guide will note it and report it. The pack guide will also report the number of tents in the site to ensure that each person has a place to sleep. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to camp will need to change into swim trunks for the camp tour. Remember that a shirt, and shoes with covered heel and toe, must be worn while in camp. The pack guide will take the pack on a tour of camp, pointing out camp landmarks and the various program areas. There are a couple of required stops, such as the Aquatics area, and the Dining Hall. Even if the pack has completed swim checks prior to camp, they still must visit the Aquatics area for safety procedures. It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up a fireguard chart and other equipment you may need in your campsite. 2006 After the tour, the pack may return to the campsite. This is a good time to get settled and prepare for supper. The Scout uniform is required for all evening meals and campfires. Leaders’ meetings A meeting of key leaders will be held on Wednesday after supper in the Administration Building. At this meeting, members of the camp staff will give an overview of camp policies and procedures, and special program activities that will be offered during the week. Also, an opportunity will be provided to answer questions. In addition, leaders’ meetings will be held each morning after breakfast. At this meeting, Cubmasters will get the opportunity to ask questions, and get updates on any special events going on in camp. The daily newsletter will be distributed at this meeting. Quartermaster In addition to what is in the campsite, the camp provides equipment through the camp Quartermaster. The Quartermaster is located beside the Trading Post. Items such as brooms, water hoses, cleaning agents, tools and American flags are available for checkout. These items must be returned-clean and in good condition-before the pack checks out. Packs are welcome to bring their own items (as listed above) from home. 2006 Tentage Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Since the uniform is worn so much, here are a few tips to help it stay fresh longer: • Don’t wear it at times when it does not have to be worn; change clothes after supper to avoid getting it dirty. • Bring a hanger for the shirt and keep the neckerchief and slide (if worn) in the same place each time so they won’t get lost. • It would be a good idea to have several pairs of Scout socks to avoid wearing the same pair all week. Generally speaking, all packs will be housed in standard two-person wall tents. These tents have wooden floors with steel beds and vinyl covered mattresses. If your pack wants to bring its own tentage to camp, this is permitted. Two-deep leadership rules still apply and adults cannot stay in tents with Scouts. The only possible exception is when a parent stays in the tent with their son. If your pack chooses to bring a portion of its own tents, please be sure that you communicate this to the resident Camp Director, as space for these tents can become a consideration. If a Scout or leader Dining Hall plans to utilize their own tents for lodging, With everyone visiting three times they should have the tent labeled “NO a day, the dining hall is the most popular Flames In Tents.” This can be stenciled on place in camp. Before each meal, packs line the tent or on a place card in front of the up in formation on the parade ground tent. Daily Schedule Each day follows the same schedule shown at the right. The schedule for Wednesday and Saturday may vary for check-in and check-out. On Wednesday and Friday the evening activity is a campwide campfire in the campfire arena starting at 8:15 p.m. Everyone in camp is expected to attend and wear his or her Scout uniform. There are a variety of activities available to choose from on the remaining evenings. Uniform The official Cub Scout summer field uniform is recommended for wear by both youth and adults while in camp. This uniform-commonly referred to as Class A uniform-is to be worn to supper each evening and to campwide activities such as campfires and Vespers. The Class B uniform consists of Scout shorts and a Scouting t-shirt and may be worn at all other times during camp.

The Officer of the Day, from the staff, will take roll call of the packs, lead grace, and at the morning and evening meals, lead the flag ceremony. Scouts and leaders should wear their complete Scout uniform to supper to retire the colors. After the meal, the Officer of the Day usually has some important announcements for the camp. We ask that all Scouts remain in the dining hall until dismissed by the staff. The waiter system is used in the dining hall for setting the tables and cleaning up after meals. It is important to stop at the dining hall during the camp tour for a demonstration of how the waiter system works. Some people have special dietary needs. We will work the best we can in accommodating these needs with the food that we have available. Dietary supplements should be brought from home for specific dietary requirements. 2006 Dangerous Wildlife Kia Kima is a Wilderness Setting. While visiting the outof-doors, it is common to encounter various forms of wildlife. Dangerous wildlife at Kia Kima could include, venomous snakes, spiders, ticks, etc. Bites from these animals are extremely rare but precautions should be taken. We will list a few tips to keep you comfortable at camp. Commissioner Staff After your pack guide finishes helping you check in, you probably won’t see him in your campsite again until you check out on Saturday. That is okay because we have a staff member with the full-time job of taking care of your needs during the week. That staff member is your Commissioner. The Commissioner staff will stop by the campsites each day to visit and will make sure you have all the supplies and equipment that you need. If there is something broken or missing in your site, they will work to see that it is fixed or replaced. You can also meet with your Commissioner at the morning leaders’ meeting. In addition, Commissioners are knowledgeable about the program and can answer questions or help you plan pack activities. A FEW HELPFUL TIPS FOR A COMFORTABLE AND SAFE CAMPING EXPERIENCE ♦ Wear closed-toed shoes ♦ Use insect repellents containing DEET or Permethrin ♦ Carry flashlights when walking at night ♦ Shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them ♦ Keep food out of tents ♦ Check for tick bites daily 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide Shower Schedule Showers are available at the central showerhouse. The central showers accomodate adult males, females and youth. In order to adhere to youth protection policies, adults are not allowed to take showers with you under any circumstances. Dedicated showers for female Scouters are located at the central shower facility. Some campsites have built-in cold showers. Vespers & chaplain Vespers is a short fellowship service held on Friday evening. Vespers is held in the Chapel, located above the campfire arena. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Members of the Commissioner staff will conduct Vespers services, with assistance from visiting clergy. In addition, they can provide assistance with homesick Scouts. Scouts and units may volunteer to assist with Vespers during the week. Scouts who are working on a religious award are especially encouraged to do so. Wolf, Bear & Webelos Please realize that the age and rank of each Scout in your pack needs to be carefully examined before registering for programs. Take a close look at the Program Preregistration form and be sure to register your Scouts for the correct program for resident camp. In other words, think now as if you are in June, 2006 already. Your current Tiger Cubs will now become Wolves. Wolves become Bears and so forth. 11 of: Aquanaut, Artist, Craftsman, Naturalist, Geologist, Forester, Readyman, Scientist, Sportsman, and the Conservation Award. Looking ahead to 2007 In 2007, Webelos will be able to pass off requirements that include all or part of: Aquanaut, Forester, Geologist, Outdoorsman, Naturalist, Readyman, and the World Conservation Award. Try to plan your year-round program around what a Scout might be able to earn apart from camp, so that he can receive his Arrow of Light. Campfires Campfires bring out the spirit and fun of camp. We have two campfires planned for resident camp. Wednesday night will feature a grand opening campfire. It will kick off the week with an exciting beginning. Songs, cheers, stunts, and the chance to meet the whole staff will be just a few of the treats in store. On Friday night, we will have our closing campfire. Awards and many neat activities are also planned for this campfire. Visitors are encouraged to attend these campfires. All campfires start at 8:30 p.m., and should conclude around 9:15 p.m. Any visitors in camp should plan to depart after the campfire show has ended. Packs that wish to do a skit for this special closing campfire are encouraged to do so. The number of skits will be limited, due to the campfire length, therefore, check with the Program Director when you arrive at camp. Skits or stunts that throw water or that do not follow the good spirit of Scouting will not be used. Packs should practice their skits during their week of camp, so plan early. Fishing Permits Fishing is a popular activity with many Scouts. Anyone wishing to fish during the week will need to obtain a Fishing Permit. Permits will be issued at the beginning of the week following a fishing orientation and safety session. Advancement at camp The fishing program at Kia Kima is strictly a Scouts are reminded to bring their rank book catch-and-release program. These specially designed (Wolf, Bear, or Webelos Handbooks).

The Trading Post is open during the day and evening, except at meals and during campwide activities. It is a popular place for Scouts and leaders to get a snack and relax. Visa and MasterCard are accepted; however, ATM and debit cards are not. Lost & found A central lost and found area is located at the Trading Post. If you lose something during the week, check with the Trading Post staff to see if it has been turned in. In addition, the Aquatics area has a small lost and found area. At the end of resident camp, all lost and found items will be boxed and stored. After camp closes for the summer, lost and found items Postal mail will be kept until November 1. To make it easier to Scouts may receive mail at camp. Please send recover lost items, Scouts should clearly mark their mail addressed as follows: personal possessions with their name and pack number. Scout’s Name and Pack Number Address of camp Telephone Please be sure to include the Scout’s pack number on all mail; this will make it much easier to route the mail to the proper recipient. Also include a return address on all mail in case a letter arrives at camp after the Scout has left. Mail service is dependable, but it is recommended that mail not be sent to camp later than the day the pack checks into camp. For such a short session as resident camp, it is recommended that parents mail their letters before the Scout arrives. A letter or postcard can take from two to four days to reach camp. Any letters or packages that contain currency or valuables should be insured. A telephone is located outside the Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continued use of the telephone by Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents’ phone bill. Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the telephone number is 870-257-4935. This telephone is located in the camp office and is manned from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with the exception of lunch. There may be a staff member in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however, that this is the camp’s business Electronic mail phone and parents will not be able to talk to their Scouts may also receive e-mail while at children. The staff member will take a message and deliver it at the next meal. Emergency messages, of camp.

The Scout’s name should be in the subject line. To: Pack# Subject: Scout’s Name Please do not send forwarded messages, attachments, Internet sites, or multimedia or excessively large e-mail messages. These messages are filtered and will not be delivered. E-mail is a service provided for parents and friends to send messages to people during their stay at camp. This service is not intended for business use nor is it guaranteed delivery or privacy. The official Internet site for resident camp and for Kia Kima Scout Reservation provides the latest updates about preparing for camp. This is an excellent resource for parents, leaders and Scouts. www.kiakima.com Leaders will find information about summer camp, registration and last-minute updates. It is also a convenient way to submit last-minute schedule changes before coming to camp. Parents can find pictures from the week while their Scout is at camp. They will also be able to find out how to send mail or e-mail to their son during the week. Scouts can find a list of what to bring to camp and helpful hints; after camp, they can see the pictures of their week at camp. 13 Visitors Visitors should plan to arrive at Kia Kima in accordance with the daily schedule of activities. Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30 p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night’s sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should park, check in at the Administration Building, and then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the camp-wide speed limit is 7 mph. If desired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for their meal from the administration Building as they enter camp. The meal price is reasonable and the meals are served on a regular schedule. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back of the line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout’s Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. 14 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 Camp rules & hints • • • • • • • • • • • No riding in the back of trucks. All Scouts riding in a vehicle should have a seat belt and be fastened in. Throwing things at camp, like rocks and sticks, is not permitted, especially around the lake area and along the creek banks in camp. Running in camp should be limited to the open fields and play areas. Kia Kima does not have many flat or level areas on which to run. Roadways and paths are not designed for running. No open-toed shoes like flip flops or sandals except in the shower facility. Bare feet are limited to three places: behind the fenced-in area at the waterfront, in the shower, and in the bed. At all other times, you should have your shoes on. The buddy system means two or more Scouts go everywhere in camp together. Cubs and Webelos should be aware of where their buddy is at all times. Scouts should not be sent to the campsite alone, or on any trip out of a leader’s view without a buddy or a leader. Camp is a big place and Scouts often get turned around while walking a common trail, even if they have traveled that way many times before. Any campfire started in the campsite should be completely extinguished before leaving the site for any reason. Unattended fires in camp can be very dangerous. Try to keep knife use to a minimum. Open knives in crowded areas and walking with an open knife pose great dangers. Individuals who have knives should be considerate of others and use those knives safely. Please do not cut live trees, no matter how big or small they are. Walking sticks are sold in the camp Trading Post, or may be made from limbs or trees that are already dead and down. Please do not disfigure the trees, bushes, or shrubs. If you dig holes for any reason, please fill them up when you are finished. Leaving open holes in activity fields and campsite areas poses a tripping hazard. • • Please do not hang wet clothes inside your tent. Also, do not attach clotheslines to the tent, as these put stress on the tent and can cause it to fall down. Clotheslines in campsites should be hung with colored or white cord and as high off the ground as possible to avoid Scouts or leaders walking into them. Please remove any clotheslines that you hang up before leaving camp. 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 15 When it’s time to go back to the world Coming and going The safety and security of every Scout is of paramount concern to all leaders and staff. To enhance our security efforts we will require that parents, leaders, or Scouts who are checking into camp over the course of the week to register at the Administration Building. Scouts who are leaving camp early will need to check out at the Administration Building with our staff, while being accompanied by an adult from the pack to authorize the departure. There will be a security guard posted at the front gate each evening. Troop leaders should encourage all guests and visitors to depart by 9:30 p.m. If there are particular concerns of an individual Scout’s well being and protection, the Cubmaster should contact the Resident Camp Director. Check-out The checkout procedure will begin on Saturday, and should be completed before 10:30 a.m. Any unit with special checkout considerations should make plans through the Program Director or the Resident Camp Director. Activity records and health forms will be given to each unit at the Saturday breakfast assembly. After breakfast, the pack will return, with the pack guide, to the campsite to pack their gear and clean up the site. Vehicles will be allowed in camp to load personal and unit equipment. The pack guide and Cubmaster will conduct another inventory to make sure that no equipment has been misplaced or damaged during the week. Borrowed equipment will be returned to the Quartermaster, and the pack guide will inspect the site to be certain that it is clean. The cost of any damaged property or equipment will be charged to the pack. The Cubmaster should stop by the Administration Building on the way out of camp. The check-out process at a glance Paperwork The pack will receive a packet at breakfast containing health forms and program materials. Review this before you leave to make sure that it is all correct, and that it all belongs to your pack. Campsite Return to the campsite with your pack guide. Pack up all your gear and clean up the site one last time. Remember that other units will be using this site in future weeks. Trash Bag up all trash and take it to the edge of the road to be picked up. Quartermaster Return any borrowed equipment before you leave camp. Administration Building Before leaving camp, stop by the Administration Building to take care of any last-minute paperwork, settle any debts, and take care of any other business. 16 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 All the stuff to do while you’re at camp Wolf program activities Achievements 1h 5a,b,c,d,e 10b 10c Swim as far as you can walk in fifteen steps Tools for fixing and building Take a nature walk in the woods or visit the Scout Museum with your parent Attend a live program with your parent at the OA Arena Electives 11c 14b 14d 18f 18g 19d 20b 20c Learn the words of three Cub Scout songs at meals or during the OA program Learn what to do when you meet strange animals Understand what it means for an animal to have rabies Take part in two summertime pack events (Resident Camp counts as one event) Learn to identify poisonous plants and what to do if you touch them Know the rules of safe fishing Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics Area Reviewed archery safety rules at the Archery Range Cub Scout Conservation Award (found on page 216 of the Wolf Book) Wolf program areas Nature Area-Reptiles and animals; plants and nature hike Handicrafts-Crafts designed for Lost World Archery Range/Rifle Range-Shoot arrows and BB guns Waterfront-Swimming and boating Rappelling Tower-Climb the new Cub portion of the tower Fishing-Learn the rules, get a permit, and then catch some fish Also-Learn about tools for fixing and building and making it yourself 2006 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 17 Bear program activities Achievements 5d 10a 11b 11e 12 b 12d 20a 22a,b,c,d Visit the Nature Center If you are a Resident Camper with a parent then you achieved this Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics Area Got a physical examination prior to Resident Camp Went on a nature hike while with a family member Attend the outdoor program at the OA Arena Show how to use and take care of tools Tying it all up Electives 2a 2e 5e 5f 9a 19c 19d 20a Learn how to read a thermometer Learn how to identify three types of clouds Reviewed boating safety rules at the Aquatics area If you rowed in a boat with an adult at camp Make an art craft while at camp Rest by floating in the water on your back for at least one minute Tell what the buddy system means and the basic rules of safe swimming and simple rescue Review archery safety rules at the Archery Range World Conservation Award (found on page 256 of the Bear Book) Wolf program areas Scoutcraft—Learn about tying knots so you can be “Tying it all up” Handicrafts—Crafts designed for Lost World Archery Range/Rifle Range—Shoot arrows and BB guns Rappelling Tower—Climb the new Cub portion of the tower and play games Waterfront—Swimming and boating Nature Area—Weather Also—Learn about building things with wood with our “Sawdust and Nails” Program 18 Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader’s Guide 2006 Webelos program activities First year Webelos program Aquanaut Get ready to get wet!

Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp staff, and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established camp, several hiking trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you’d just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim). Check with the Aquatics staff to find out the requirements for taking out a boat, or talk to your Commissioner. Other activities such as BB shoots, climbing, games, and crafts may be available as well.

In 1916, Bolton Smith, the first president of the Chickasaw Council, donated the original Kia Kima site. Bolton Smith went on to serve as vice president of the Boy Scouts of America and to receive the Silver Buffalo award. The original Kia Kima site stood high on.the bluffs overlooking the South Fork River near Hardy, Arkansas. Through the years, this area of Arkansas in the foothills of the Ozarks has become a center of camping and outdoor activities. One of the first camps in the area, Kia Kima was instrumental in the development of north central Arkansas. The Hardy area was a logical choice for a summer camp. Many Memphis area families had vacation homes there where they traveled to escape the oppressive summer heat in the city. Hardy was a short four hour train ride from Memphis on the Frisco line. Old timers recall the train stop in Hoxie where you could buy a hot tamale. In the early days, there was no bridge across the river, so the Scouts were met by the staff ·at the Hardy train station. The staff loaded the gear on wagons pulled by mules and the Scouts hiked to the river and were ferried across to the camp. In the early days, the highest honor a camper could receive was to be chosen by his fellows as a Council Scout. Those chosen were led to a secret council fire d~ep in the woods and given an Indian name. In 1948, the Chickasaw Council adopted the Order of the Arrow as a part of its camping program. Chickasaw Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kirna and held its first call out and Ordeal there that year. The Order of the Arrow, which traces its beginnings to Treasure Island, Philadelphia's Scout camp, replaced the earlier Council Scouts. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, has played a key role at Kia Kima ever since. By the early 1960s Kia Kima had outgrown its original location. In 1963, West Memphis businessman John Cooper, who was devel9ping the Cherokee Village community near Hardy, approached the Executive Board with,a proposal to exchange a 540-acre tract a few miles away on the edge of Cherokee Village for the 160 acres of old Kia Kima. The offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new Kia Kirna. The new camp was ready for its first season in 1964. The new camp was what we call Camp Osage today. A second camp, Camp Cherokee, was opened in 1965. Kia Kirna has continued to grow and prosper over the years, with the addition of many new facilities like Project COPE and the majestic Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the reservation. 1 �Kia Kiina has had a rich history for its 77 years. It has seen visionaries like Bolton Smith and John Cooper, who make Kia Kima possible, along with many others who have supported it financially and with their personal efforts. It has grown through the devotion of the well over one thousand people who have served on its staff. Approximately one hundred thousand Scouts, along with thousands of leaders, have had a summer camp experience at Kia Kima in the laboratory of Scouting ---- the great outdoors. 2 �Kia Kima Summer Camp '98 ..•; .

Boy Scout s ummer camp programs are offered at Kia Kirna and Tallaha. The Kia Kime Story Kia Kima traces its history to the very early days of the Chickasaw Council. In 1916, Bolton Smith, the first president of the Chickasaw Council, donated the original Kia Kima site. Bolton Smith went on to serve as vice president of the Boy Scouts of America and to receive the Silver Buffalo award. He named Kia Kima, which is a Zuni Indian word which means "'Nest of the Eagles."' The o riginal Kia Kima site overlooking the South Fork Through the years, this area the Ozarks has become a activities. One of the first the in instrumental Arkansas. The Hardy area camp.

Those chosen deep in the woods and given an In 1948, the Chickasaw Council adopted the Order of the Arrow as a part of its camping program. Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima and held its first call out and Ordeal there that year. The Order of the Arrow, which traces its beginnings to Treasure Island, Philadelphi a's Scout camp, replaced the earlier Council Scouts. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhoo d of Honor Campers, has played a key role at Kia Kima ever since. By the early 1960s Kia Kima had outgrown its original location. In 1963, West Memphis businessma n John Cooper, who was developing the Cherokee Village community near Hardy, approached the Executive Board with a proposal to exchange a 540-acre tract a few miles away on the edge of Cherokee Village for the 160 acres of old Kia Kima. The offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new Kia .ESirna. The new camp was ready for its first season in 1964. The new camp was what we call Camp Osage today. A second camp, Camp Cherokee, was opened in 1965.

Ozark Ven ture Base programs depart from Ki a Kima for wilderness backpacking and canoeing expeditions. The camps at Kia Kima share a state-oft he art Project COPE co urse, which was completely rebuilt in 1993. Tallaha is located approximately 90 miles south of Memphis in the Mississippi Delta. The terrain of Tallaha features towering pines and rolling hills. Tallaha is a dining h all camp. Many Tallaha campsites feature cabins. The Camping Committee, with its Camp Promotion, Camp Program and Procurement Subcomittees, has been hard at work to ensure the best possible season. Many thanks to the Order of the Arrow for their devot ion to camp promotion. Whatever your troop 's interests o r needs, the Chickasaw Council Camps will do their best to meet them.

Scouts Who Need Financial Help Limited camperships are available to help boys in need of financial assistance. Applications are available at the Dunavant Scout Service Center. Early filing is necessary to ensure equitable distribution of available funds. The deadline for campership applications is May 1, 1993. These camperships will not pay all of a boy' s fee. The boy's family, troop and chartered organization should pool their resources first with a campership request to meet the balance. Scouts who receive campership funds are expected to perform one or more service projects for their chartered organization (or another reli gious, educational or c haritable organization approved by their Scoutmasters). The hours expended should be approximately equal to the amount of campership awarded divided by $4.00. Campership service hours will not count toward any other BSA service project requirments. This program is to be administered by the boy's Scoutmaster. No Scout will be denied the camp experience because of lack of funds.

The nearest public camping facilities are at the Spring River Beach Club (50 1-856-3292) in Cherokee Village. Many Islands Camp on the Spring River (501-856-3451 ) north of Hardy is also popular. There a re many re c reational op portunities available in the vicini ty of Ki a Kima. O ld Hardy Town is a 19th century railroad town overlooking the clear, chilly waters of the S pring River. Downtown Hardy looks much as it did in Model T days (and the days of the first ca mps held at old Kia Kima) ... and the merchants want to keep it that way. Most of the changes have occurred at the ends of town, leaving the heart of Main Street a tiny preserve for antique shops, gift nooks, specialty stores, cafes and craft shops. Other attractions include the Arkansas Traveller Folk and Dinner Theater, golf and Mammoth Springs. Mammoth Spring State Park, located about 15 miles no r th of Hardy, is the site of Mammoth Springs, which flows at the rate of 200 million gallons of 58 degree water daily. Forming a scenic, 10 acre lake, it then flows southward as the Spring River, a popular t rout and float stream. A beautifully restored 1886 Frisco depot houses a collection of railroad memorabilia. Park facilities include an information center with exhibits of the area's rich history and natural resources, picnic s ites and a trail. Many park visitors also include a tour of the U.S. h atchery located within walking distance. Pets Pets are not permitted at Chickasaw Council Camps.

CH IC KASAW COUN C I L CAMPS SUMMER CAMP LE AD ERS G UI DE 1 994 47 --- - - --- --- - - - --- - - - - - - -- - - -- About the Chickasaw Council Camps The Chickasaw Council operates three camp properties- Kia Kima Scout Reservation (w ith two campsCherokee and Osage) near Hardy, Arkansas, Camp Ta llaha, nea r Charleston, Mississippi, and Camp Currier, near Eudora, Mississippi. Boy Scout s ummer camp programs are offe red at Kia Kirna and Tallaha. The Kia Kime Story Kia Kima traces its history to the very early days of the Chickasaw Council. In 1916, Bolton Smith, the first president of the Chickasaw Council, donated the original Kia Kima site. Bolton Smith went on to serve as vice president of the Boy Scouts of America and to receive the Silver Buffalo award. He named Kia Kima, which is a Zuni India n word which means "'Nes t of t he Eagles ."' The o riginal Kia Kima site overlooking the South Fork Through the years, this area the Ozarks has become a activities. One of the first instrumental in the Arkansas. The Hardy area camp.

Those chosen deep in the woods and given an In 1948, the Chickasaw Council adopted the Order of the Arrow as a part of its camping program. Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima and held its first call out and Ordeal there that year. The Order of the Arrow, which traces its beginnings to Treasure Island, Philadelphia's Scout camp, replaced the earlier Council Scouts. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, has played a key role at Kia Kima ever since. By the early 1960s Kia Kima had outgrown its original location. In 1963, West Memphis businessman John Cooper, who was developing the Cherokee Village community near Hardy, approached the Executive Board with a proposal to exchange a 540-acre tract a few miles away on the edge of Cherokee Village for the 160 acres of old Kia Kima. The offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new Kia .ESirna. The new camp was ready for its first season in 1964. The new camp was what we call Camp Osage today. A second camp, Camp Cherokee, was opened in 1965. CHICKASAW COUNCIL CAMPS SUMMER CAMP LEADERS GUIDE 1994 48 Kia Kima has continued to grow and prosper over the years, with the addition of many new facilities like Project COPE and the majestic Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the reservation. ...,___.. Kia Kima has had a rich history for its 77 years. It has seen visionaries li ke Bolton Smith and John Cooper, who made Kia Kima possible, along with many others who have supported it fin ancially and with their personal efforts. It has grown through the devotion of the well over one thousand people who have served o n its staff. Approximately one hundred thousand Scouts, along w ith thousands of leaders, have had a summer camp experience at Kia Kima in the laboratory o f Scouting _ the gr eat o utdoors. Camp Tallaha m m1:1:::1:Jrn11:1::11::1m;;;:::111m111111::11miimrn111Jrn:11:rn:m:rn::m::::rn:rn::::rn::::g!!f~1:m::::::m1m1 W.f'.@.'.rnii:11:11::rn::rnmoon~:woo11::oc~.t1~11ma111M:1111: For many years, Ca mp Tallaha served as the council camp of the De lta Area Council. When the Delta Area Council merged into the Chickasaw Council on January 1, 1993, Tallaha became one of the three Chickasaw Council Camps, alo ng with Camp Currier near Eudora, Mississippi, and Kia Kima Scout Reserv ation, near Hardy, Arkansas, in the foothills o i the Ozarks. The Delta Area Council was established in 1924. The first Boy Scout Camp in the De lta was held that summer on Moon Lake near Lula, Miss issippi, and was called "Camp Chisca. · Camp Tallaha traces its history to 1925, when the Delta Council purchased a 165-acre tract near Charleston, Mississippi. The mess hall was built in the Spring of 1925, and the first camp sesssion was he ld there the following summer. In 1963, another tract of land near Tallaha was donated by A.J . Hill and is used today as a wilderness camp. The Order of the Arrow has been closely associated with Camp Tallaha. The fi rs t call out ceremony of Koi Hatachie Lodge was held at Camp Tallaha in July 1946, and its first s ix members were camp staff members. To this day, OA members visit troops to promote attendance at Tallaha. Among the projects completed by the Order of the Arrow at Tallaha are the bridge from t he confe rence center to the dining hall, the handicraft lodge, signs throughout camp, lake docks, co uncil ring, Chiefs Lodge and Scout Museum. In addition to the Order of the Arrow and other Scouters, the National Guard has been very supportive of Tallaha over the years with construction and repair projects. Camp Currier Camp Currier, near Eudora, Mississippi, is the Council's most active weekend camping location. Nearly every weekend year round, hundreds of Scouts come to Currier with their troops. It is also a popular place for Cub outings. During the Spring, many district camporees and Webelos Encampments are held here-it is big enough to accomodate two or three simultaneously, with room left over for troop ca mpouts and other activities. During the summer, the pool is available to groups with proper leade rship. Rowing and canoeing are also available.

In applying fo r a campership, a Scout and his fa mily are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout Law, " . .\.Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his w ay and to help o thers.· Scouts are encourag ed to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp. Scouts who receive campership funds are expected to perform one or more service projects for their chartered organization (o r another religious, educational, or charitable organization approved by their Scoutmaster. The hours expended should be approximately equal to the amount of the campership awarded divided by $4.00. Campership service hours will not count toward any other BSA service project requirements. This program is to be administered by the Scout's Scoutmaster. Campers.hips are considered o n a first-come, first-served absis,a s long as funds are available and subject to the following conditions: l. 3. -L 6. 7. The unit leader secures and com pletes the campers.hip application along with a parent or guardian. The a pplication is fo rwarded to the Scout Se r v ice Cen:er fo r the Council Camping Committee to review. >Jo more than fifty percent of the camp fee will be g rant ed as a campers.hip. The maximum campers.hip for 1994 is $45.00. Campers.hips will generally not be awarded for provisional camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. Campers.hips are granted to individual Scouts. If the Scout who re ceives a campers.hip is unable to attend, substitutions will not b e allowed unless a new campers.hip application is filed in the name of the substitute Scout and approved by the Council Camping Committee. Campers.hip applications must be completely fille d out. Incomplete applications will be returned for completion. Information on the campers.hip application will be held in confidence. Candidates for campers.hips must be registered Scouts in good standing with the troop. All applications must be signed by a parent or guardian, troop leader and the district camping committee chairman or representative. It is not the intention to limit the number of Scouts eligible for campers.hips. On the contrary, we want to stretch the available campers.hip funds to cover as many needy Scouts as possible. Campers.hip applications must be submitted by May 2, 1994 to be considered by the Council Camping Committee. Unit leaders will be notified by May 16 , 1994 of the action taken by the Council Camping Committee in approving o r disapproving the campers.hip application.

Bolton Smith went on to serve as vice president of the Boy Scouts of America and to receive the Silver Buffalo award. The original Kia Kima site stood high on the bluffs overlooking the South Fork River near Hardy, Arkansas . Through the years, this area of Arkansas in the foothills of the Ozarks has become a center of camping and outdoor activities. One of the first camps in the area, Kia Kima was instrumenta l in the developmen t of north central Arkansas. The Hardy area was a logical choice for a summer camp. Many Memphis area families had vacation homes there where they traveled to escape the oppressive summer heat in the city. Hardy was a short four hour train ride from Memphis on the Frisco line. Old timers recall the train stop in Hoxie where you could buy a hot tamale. In the early days, there was no bridge across the river, so the Scouts were met by the staff at the Hardy train station. The staff loaded the gear on wagons pulled by mules and the Scouts hiked to the river and were ferried across to the camp. In the early days, the highest honor a camper could receive was to be chosen by his fellows as a Council Scout. Those chosen were led to a secret council fire deep in the woods and given an Indian name. In 1948, the Chickasaw Council adopted the Order of the Arrow as a part of its camping program. Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima and held its first call out and Ordeal there that year. The Order of the Arrow, which traces its beginnings to Treasure Island, Philadelphi a's Scout camp, replaced the earlier Council Scouts. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, has played a key role at Kia Kima ever since. 64 1993 Kia Kime Leaders Guide • • • • •.. • • • • • �~ • •I • • I I II I II I I II I By the early 1960s Kia Kima had outgrown its original location. In 1963, West Memphis ~usinessman John Cooper, who was developing the Cherokee Village community near Hardy, approached the Executive Board with a proposal to exchange a 540-acre tract a few miles away on the edge of Cherokee Village for the 160 acres of old Kia Kima. The offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new Kia Kima. The new camp was ready for its first season in 1964. The new camp was what we call Camp Osage today. A second camp, Camp Cherokee, was opened in 1965. Kia Kima has continued to grow and prosper over the years, with the addition of many new facilities like Project COPE and the majestic Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the reservation. Kia Kima has had a rich history for its 77 years. It has seen visionaries like Bolton Smith and John Cooper, who made Kia Kima possible, along with many others who have supported it financially and with their personal efforts. It has grown through the d evotion of the well over one thousand people who have served on its staff. Approximately one hundred thousand Scouts, along with thousands of leaders, have had a summer camp experience at Kia Kima in the laboratory of Scouting - the great outdoors. 1993 Kia Kima leaders Guide 65 �Final Checklist ~mmm11imiiilliJ1EIJ1rnrnjjmrn1mm11H11:m11ui!li!lIJm1111 11mrnrnm11rnmrnn 1n 1rn11:111mmrnm i!Hl!!ililll This checklist will be helpful in assisting unit leaders in making a final check before leaving for camp: Health forms for Scouts and Leaders, signed by doctor and parents?

In 1916, Bolton Smith, the first president of the Chickasaw Council, donated the original Kia Kima site. Bolton Smith went on to serve as vice president of the Boy Scouts of America and to receive the Silver Buffalo award. The original Kia Kima site stood high on the bluffs overlooking the South Fork River near Hardy, Arkansas . Through the years, this area of Arkansas in the foothills of the Ozarks has become a center of camping and outdoor activities. One of the first camps in the area, Kia Kima was instrumental in the development of north central Arkansas. The Hardy area was a logical choice for a summer camp. Many Memphis area families had vacation homes there where they traveled to escape the oppressive summer heat in the city. Hardy was a short four hour train ride from Memphis on the Frisco line. Old timers recall the train stop in Hoxie where you could buy a hot tamale. In the early days, there was no bridge across the river, so the Scouts were met by the staff at the Hardy train station. The staff loaded the gear on wagons pulled by mules and the Scouts hiked to the river and were ferried across to the camp. In the early days, the highest honor a camper could receive was to be chosen by his fellows as a Council Scout. Those chosen were led to a secret council fire deep in the woods and given an Indian name. In 1948, the Chickasaw Council adopted the Order of the Arrow as a part of its camping program. Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima and held its first call out and Ordeal there that year. The Order of the Arrow, which traces its beginnings to Treasure Island, Philadelphia's Scout camp, replaced the earlier Council Scouts. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, has played a key role at Kia Kima ever since. 64 1993 Kia Kime Leaders Guide • • • • • .. • • • • • • ~ • • I • • I I II I II I I II I By the early 1960s Kia Kima had outgrown its original location. In 1963, West Me mphis ~usinessman John Cooper, who was developing the Cherokee Village community near Hardy, approached the Executive Board with a proposal to exchange a 540-acre tract a few miles away on the edge of Cherokee Village for the 160 acres of old Kia Kima . The offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new Kia Kima. The new camp was ready for its first season in 1964. The new camp was what we call Camp Osage today. A second camp, Camp Cherokee, was opened in 1965 . Kia Kima has continued to grow and prosper over the years, with the addition of many new facilities like Project COPE and the majestic Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the reservation. Kia Kima has had a rich history for its 77 years. It has seen visionaries like Bolton Smith and John Cooper, who made Kia Kima possible, along with many others who have supported it financially and with their personal efforts. It has grown through the d ev otion of the well over one thousand people who have served on its staff. Approximately one hundred thousand Scouts, along with thousands of leaders, have had a summer camp experience at Kia Kima in the laboratory of Scouting - the great outdoors. 1993 Kia Kima leaders Guide 65 Final Checklist ~mmm11imiiilliJ1EIJ1rnrnjjmrn1mm11H11:m11ui!li!lIJm1111 11mrnrnm11rnmrnn 1 n 1 rn11:111mmrnm i!Hl!!ililll This checklist will be helpful in assisting unit leaders in making a final check before leaving for camp: Health forms for Scouts and Leaders, signed by doctor and parents?

Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 �II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities Troop Time This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. Personal Interest This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 �II I II •I • • • •I •I I I I ' I' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Troop _ _ Name Camp _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.)

Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • • • • • • Conducting daily campsite inspections Visiting program areas daily Promoting camp activities Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication.

In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 �Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingl y indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 �Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program.

In applying for a campersh ip, a Scout and his family are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout law, A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. Scouts are encourag ed to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp. Campersh ips are considere d on a first-come , first-serv ed basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following condition s: 1. The unit leader secures and complete s the campersh ip applicati on. The applicatio n is forwarde d to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committe e to review. 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campersh ip . The maximum campersh ip for 1992 is $45.00. 3. Campersh ips will not be granted for provision al camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. 4. Campers hips are granted to individua l Scouts.

In the event of an emergency, the leader of the activity has my permission to obtain medical treatment for this Scout at the nearest hospital or doctor, at my expense, to the extent not covered by insurance carried by Kia Kima Scout Reservation. I understand that Ozark Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. I believe that my son/ward is physically fit to participate in this program. He meets the requirements outlined on the other side of this form. Signed--------------Parent or Guardian Approved------------Unit leader Date----------- �Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking trips of shorter duration during the months before camp . The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima. All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by May 22, 1992 of your status in the program. The fee for Ozark Venture Base programs is $100 per Scout per week . A nonrefundable deposit of $30 must accompany the application by May 15. This deposit can be transferred to another Scout. The extra fee for Ozark Venture Base is necessary due to staffing and special food and equipment considerations. Ozark Venture Base applications must be signed by the Scout's parent or guardian and unit leader in the spaces provided. �I I I ~ I I I I I I I I I Kia Kima Scout Reservation Application to Serve as a Camp Commissioner (See infomuz.tion about camp commissioners in the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide) Name ---------- -------Address District - - - - - - - ---------------- ------- Telephone Zip _ _ _ __ City --------Troop _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _--------~ ________ Position - - - - - - - Previous positions held in S c o u t i n g - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ Scout training courses a t t e n d e d - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Merit badges or other Scout skills I am willing to teach at Kia Kima _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Years in Scouting _ __ Were you a Scout? _ __ Years attending Kia Kima - - - - - - - - - - - Highest rank earned - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week attending camp _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Camp Osage 0 Camp Cherokee 0 District Recommendation KKSR Action: 0 Accepted: Yes No 0 Area to serve: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _~ Accepted by: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Date: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ �I I I I I BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICE Use this form for Scouts and Adults under 40 attending Camp Cherokee and Camp Cherokee.

This guide outlines the program planned for 1992 at Kia Kima. We are continuing to improve the program and facilities each year. The newest feature is Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima. Venture Base offers a series of program opportunities - canoeing, backpacking, climbing and rappelling- which use Kia Kima as a base and venture in to the surrounding area . We hope you will encourage your Venture-age Scouts to participate in these activities. The merit badge offerings cover a wide range and include some new "rotational" merit badges. There will be several capital improvements at Kia Kima this year. The biggest project is our new central hot shower facility for Camp Osage and the nearby handicappedaccessible campsite. Waterlines have been brought to the center of the reservation for Shooting Sports, the Tower and the Campfire Arena. Flagpoles and Assembly areas have been relocated in each camp. This guide is designed to help you and your patrol leaders' council plan your week at Kia Kima. It includes information on camp promotion and planning, program opportunities and scheduling. We will keep you up-to-date as opening date nears. Yours in Scouting, ~~ Ron Edmonds, Chairman Kia Kima Advisory Board Jim Russnogle, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council • Boy Scouts of America 171 S. Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Troop Time Personal Interest Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 II I II • I • • • • I • I I I I ' I ' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Name Troop __ Camp _______ _ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.)

No dining hall service is available during this time. Accordingly, early arrivals cannot be accommodated. Check-out Normal check-out time is 10:00 am Saturday, following a campsite inspection by your unit counselor and completion of check-out procedures. Health and Sa/ ety Health Lodge and Emergency Medical Arrangements A health lodge is available with a qualified first-aider on duty 24 hours a day. A physician will also be in camp each week. In addition, we have arrangements with a local physician and the nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital-Eastern Ozarks for emergency services. Accident insurance is provided for all Scouts and adults attending camp. This insurance does not cover sickness, injuries occurring before camp or chronic conditions. The camp's insurance policy pays the first $150 of covered expenses. Coverage of expenses in excess of $150 is coordinated with the Scout's family insurance coverage. Medical Examinations Each Scout and leader is required to have a medical form on file upon arriving at camp. Scouts and leaders under age 40 attending Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage use the Class 2 Personal Health and Medical Record (No. 4414A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last three years. Scouts and leaders participating in the Ozark Venture Base programs and all leaders age 40 and over use the Personal Health and Medical Record Form- Class 3 (No. 4412A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last 12 months. One copy of each form is included in this guide. Copies are also available at the Scout Service Center. 10 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Sanitation Latrine facilities are provided at each troop campsite . It is the responsibility of each troop to maintain the cleanliness of these facilities during their stay at Kia Kima. Toilet paper and cleaning supplies are available at Troop Issue. If maintenance problems develop with the equipment in your campsite, please contact your program director or the camp ranger. There is a designated location for trash and garbage at each camp. At Camp Cherokee, troops are issued garbage bags with the provisions for each meal. The responsibilities of the clean-up crew include taking the garbage bag to the designated central location after the meal. This will minimize any problems with odors or insects in the campsite. At Camp Osage, garbage bags are available through Troop Issue. Troops should deliver their trash to the central location as needed. A trash delivery should be made whenever the bag is full or the bag contains any significant amount of food waste (watermelon rinds, etc.) . There will not be a garbage pick-up run in the troop campsite. Each troop is responsible for delivering its own garbage to the central location. Shower facilities are provided in each troop campsite. In addition, both Camp Cherokee and Camp Osage have central hot shower facilities. The central facilities also include bathroom and shower facilities for leaders. There are separate female leader facilities at Camp Osage. Troops are encouraged to make sure these facilities are used properly and maintained in a clean manner. Your troop will be asked to assist in cleaning the central showers. Campsite Inspections There will be a daily campsite inspection for health and safety purposes . This inspection will be conducted by a camp commissioner. Your senior patrol leader will be advised of the results of the inspection at the daily Senior Patrol Leaders Council meeting. This inspection will be measured against health and safety standards and will not be a competition against other units. On Thursday, the program commissioner or program director will visit your campsite to review it for campsite improvements. This review will be considered in determining the Honor Troops and the Outstanding Troop of the Week. 11 II I • I I • I • • • • • I I I • I ~ ~ Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Staff Opportunities Kia Kima employs a large seasonal staff, including both youth and adult positions.

Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • Conducting daily campsite inspections • Visiting program areas daily • Promoting camp activities • Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled • Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director • Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication. Interested leaders should fill out an application and turn it in to the Scout Service Center before attending camp. An application form is included in this Guide . Camp commissioners will be selected from the applications received and each selected leader will be notified. Camp fees will be waived for those leaders selected as camp commissioners. Program Areas Leaders are welcome in program areas at all times. Leaders are encouraged to share their skills and assist in areas where they are qualified. We do ask that you make arrangementsin advance with the director of the area, before you become involved in class sessions. Leaders who are interested in assisting with instruction in specific topics should complete an application to serve as a camp commissioner and indicate their interest. Twilight Activities Kia Kima offers a variety of evening "twilight" activities. Troops are encouraged to participate in those activities in which they are interested as a group. Kia Kima Campfires Campfires are a highlight of the Kia Kima week. Reservation campfires are held on Sunday and Friday nights. The Sunday night campfire is an introduction to Kia Kima traditions and the camp staff. The Friday night campfire is a recognition and fellowship event. Troop participation is encouraged in the closing campfire. The program director 16 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde will provide more information at camp. Troops are encouraged to hold their own campfires other evenings during the week. We recommend that you invite other nearby troops and your favorite camp staff members to your campfire. Kia Kima Heritage Night Heritage Night is a special program which examines the heritage of the Kia Kima area, including Native Americans, settlers and the history of Kia Kima as a Scout camp. Vespers Vespers are held weekly at the Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the camp. The trip to the chapel is a highlight in many campers' weeks. We recommend that you come early and bring your camera. The view is breathtaking . In addition to vespers, a chaplain will be available throughout the week to handle any special needs. Canoe Trips One of the most popular program features at Kia Kima is the twilight canoe trip. Typically, troops put in at the Osage waterfront around 5:00 and are picked up at the nearby Slick Rock ford about three hours later. Picnic suppers are available from the dining hall. Advance arrangements are a must and Scouts and Leaders who go must be classified as swimmers. Other canoe trips (including overnighters) may be arranged. Other Activities Other evening activities, including intertroop sports competitions, will be scheduled each week. The Order of the Arrow at Kia Kima Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima in 1948 and has been an integral part of the program ever since. The lodge has completed many service projects at Kia Kima. This year, they have also taken the lead in the camp promotion effort. Without the Order of the Arrow, Kia Kima could not have made much of the progress it has made. Many Arrowmen serve on the camp staff. Several activities have been planned for Arrowmen at Kia Kima . Ordeal members of the Order who have met the qualifications may seal their membership in the Order by participating in the Brotherhood Ceremony. The Brotherhood Ceremony will be conducted each Thursday evening all summer. 17 I I I I I ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Following the Brotherhood Ceremony, all Arrowmen will be invited to an Order of the Arrow fellowship. Troops who have not yet had their Order of the Arrow election may do so at camp. An Order of the Arrow representative will be at the Leaders' Roundtable Sunday evening to explain the process and make arrangements. An Order of the Arrow call-out ceremony will be a part of the Friday night reservation campfire . The Order of the Arrow representative will explain the procedure for arranging for the call out at the Leaders Roundtable. Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima This year, we are introducing a new program aimed at Venture-age Scouts (aged 13 and above) called Ozark Venture Base. This program includes two programs that use Kia Kima as base for a week-long trip by canoe or backpacking and two programs, Climbers Camp and the popular Project COPE which take place primarily on the Kia Kima property. Complete details can be found in the Program Planning section of this Guide. In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingly indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program.

In general, the staff will assist in making arrangements, but will not accompany groups, which must provide appropriate leadership . Suggested activities include: Mammoth Springs and the Grand Gulf This field trip heads north from Kia Kima to Mammoth Springs, Missouri. At Mammoth Springs, you will visit Mammoth Springs State Park, home of Mammoth Springs, a huge spring which is the source of the Spring River. After visiting Mammoth Springs, you will tour the nearby Mammoth Springs National Hatcheries.

Much groundwork needs to be laid to ensure all of your Scouts have the opportunity for a week in summer camp. The first steps for the troop committee include: • Making the commitment to attend camp. • Securing camp leadership. • Selecting the date and reserving a campsite. When these steps have been completed it is time to promote the week of camp within your troop. Scouts and parents should be notified as early in the year as possible of the troop's plans. Including it in a calendar published at the beginning of the school year is one good idea. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, will provide each unit with a packet of camp promotion material for your use. It includes: • Camp Promotion Poster. • Sign-up Chart. • Ideas for Camp promotion. • Summer Camp Saving Plan. While summer camp is not expensive for a full week's program, the troop must plan for how it will be financed. There are several possibilities. Some troops ask Scouts and their parents to bear the cost directly. Others include the cost of summer camp in their annual troop budget and conduct fundraising projects (under BSA guidelines) to raise the needed funds. Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. The Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow has as its goal to visit every single troop in the Chickasaw Council to promote Kia Kima. With approximately 250 troops, this is a challenging goal indeed. This year, there is a district Order of the Arrow Councilman, who is responsible for coordinating camp promotion and unit election activities within each district. There is also an adviser, who is a member of the district camping committee. These two Arrowmen will be able to answer your questions and help resolve any problems you may have. You will be contacted by the Order of the Arrow to schedule a camp promotion visit and Order of the Arrow election. 33 I • II • II Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Parents' Night A Parents' Night program is an excellent way to promote summer camp in your troop. The program should be held early enough for families to make their plans around camp. Your district camping chairman and your district Order of the Arrow Councilman will be happy to help you plan your parents night program and to help you conduct it.

In applying for a campership, a Scout and his family are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout law, A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. Scouts are encouraged to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp . Camperships are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following conditions: 1. The unit leader secures and completes the campership application. The application is forwarded to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committee to review . 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campership. The maximum campership for 1992 is $45 .00 . 3. Camperships will not be granted for provisional camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. 4. Camperships are granted to individual Scouts. If the Scout who receives the campership is unable to attend, substitutions will not be allowed unless a new campership application is filed in the name of the substitute Scout and approved by the Council Camping Committee. 5. Campership applications must be completely filled out. Information on the campership application will be held in confidence. 6. Candidates for camperships must be registered Scouts in good standing with their troop. 7. All applications must be signed by a parent or guardian, troop leader and the district camping chairman or representative . It is not the intention to limit the number of Scouts eligible for camperships. On the contrary, we want to stretch the available campership funds to cover as many needy Scouts as possible. Campership applications must be submitted by May 1, 1992 to be considered by the Council Camping Committee. Unit leaders will be notified by May 16, 1992 of the action taken by the Council Camping Committee in approving or disapproving the campership application.

Signed--------------- Parent or Guardian Approved------------- Date----------- Unit leader Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking tri ps of shorter duration during the months before camp. The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima . All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form - Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13- �TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organization used to conduct your year-round program is the one you use to conduct your Troop ' s suo:mer camp program. Many Scoutmasters have found that when the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the re-organization of Patrols and the election of new or temporary Patrol Leaders should be conducted well in advance of coming to Camp. This will give the new Patrol a chance to develop Patrol spirit and give the new leaders some "on the job trai ni ng ". However, your main objective should be to see that every Scout gets to camp. Isn't that why he really joined you.r Troop in the first place? A Troop we ll organized in this matter will not only have a stimulating camp experie nce , but also have well-trained junior leaders for the next fall's program. Each Troop must be under the direction of a competent male adult leader (at least 21 years of age) who is in residence at all times with the Troop. This individual, normally the Scoutmaster, is in charge of the entire camp life of the Troop. ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS should be in charge of a phase of camp life assigned by the Scoutmaster . It is suggested that they be placed in direct charge of the program or commissary operations . JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usually given specific responsibilities involving definite skills, such as instructors in campcraft, nature, or certain activities such as campfires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leader of the Troop, should conduct the Troop leaders council and be responsible for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of the individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities . They represent their Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council. At least once a day, usually during rest period, the Troop Leaders Council should meet to discuss the day's schedule of duty and program. Each Patrol will then be responsible for its share of the overall activity and program. This group is responsible for the daily inspections, all Troop activities, the planning for and scoring of the "Honor Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT . -14- �,;.,._.·,~ .s.,,,Jc flos+ s.,,Je m ~ /:f'pd,·Nff During tour of Camp, Osage Units will visit the Dining Hall and be given table assignments. All members of the same Unit will be seated in the same area. You will occupy these SAME TABLES throughout the week. Unit Leaders and Staff Members will ac t as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They will see to it that the "Host System" as explained is carried out, and also guide the conversation and conduct at their tables. Each table is to designate a waiter for each day in advance. (P l ease post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- �The seating arrangement should rotate one place each day ( except the guest positions who will occupy the same seat all week) as shown in the diagram. "HOST SYSTEM" - A prime camp objective is to train the Scout in those good manners and court esies essential to one who tries to live up to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law . The Host is responsible for introduc tions, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and instructs the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go for the next co urs e . He makes sure everyone gets e qual portions of food the first time around, and that the guests are served first . THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads , and observes the rou t i ne so that he may successfully s uc ceed the host. WAITERS r e port 30 minutes in advanc e of mealtime and properly set up the tables . Waiters are the only persons who ma y go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward wh o moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishe s, food, etc, at the c lose of the meal, c lean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table . The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable . GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON COMMITTEES SCOUTING MORNING GRACE: 1.

This program will be very valuable in the training of Troop leaders. Any Scout in your troop currently filling a leadership position is eligible to participate. A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster . Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping, and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The seco nd is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity. Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week of Camp (July 7-13, 1985) at the Kia Kima Scout Reserva tion . The confe renc e will be under the dir ection of The cost is $85. 00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represen t ed! ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Sco ut Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information toward s the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Prog ram. Leaders who know the wa ys and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program . Trai ning in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fu n. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m . - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m . Instructors will be qualified Scouters a ttending Camp with you . PROV IS[ONAL CAMPING A provisional Troop headed by a camp staff member of the Kia Kima Scout Reservation is available for those scouts that wish to return to camp for an additional one, two, three or four weeks. Also if for some reason your troop is not coming to camp Re can still attend . This troop functions like a home troop, except that it is made of scouts from throughout our council . Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70 . 00 -20- �LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, what about your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purposeful, exciting, and full of fun? Will it meet our general camping objectives? Will it be so conducted as to strengthen your year-round organization, to strengthen Patrols as working units? The answer to all these questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now to plan your program to meet these objectives . The follwiog is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ~-The success of your camp program will be measured by the extent to which your Unit has learned the following things: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leaders, To train its own instructors , To acquire new interests . These may serve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout the year . A good program for the camp follows along the idea of a morning actlvity as a learning session, an afternoon activity as a doing session, and the evening activity as a fun session. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Programming: DO l. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good manners, good fellowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp . 2. Allow Patrols to plan and carry out some things they thought of and wan t to do. 3. Have enough program to keep everyone busy - BUT ... .. . ... . 4. Allow for and suggest some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OOTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there ' s persona l achievement, advancement possibilities, and fun in the program. 7. Keep in personal touch with what's happening in the Unit - - - get verbal Patrol Reports each day . 8. Make the method succeed by EXPECTING and HELPING it to work. -21- �DON'T Campi ng should be I. Al low too many activities to be scheduled . r ela xing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule some ci rcumstances warrant changes in plans . 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in t own, like base ball, and football . 4. Overlook the four big items in program -- WOODC RAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS . 5. Judge the success of the camp by Lhe number of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some . ) 6. Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself . 7. Permit a camp violation, an er r or in operation to presis t or continue. "Stop the Show" - - correc t it immediately . A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP . Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Camp. Laying out the Sulllller Camp Program sho uld be a major topic of i nter est at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks befo r e your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in t his booklet as a n aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP , PATROL , AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independen tl y . To be s ure, it may be necessary to occasio nally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in orde r to accomodate eve r yone, but this will be done wh e n no other alternative is possible . Let ' s dramat ize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we 're t alking this over with the boy leaders of your Oni t. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfi r es, and taps are already l isted on you r pr ogram . NEXT, what does our Unit need? What ski l l practice and advancement experie nce is needed? Let's STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tende r foo t , Second , and Fir st Class r equirements . What does a Scou t have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next l ogical questioni s "Why can ' t my boys become Fi r st or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, "If you PLAN for it, they can. " At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancemen t is much great e r than in the home community, so don't miss the once-a-year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one ra nk . -22- �REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scout in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scout Hiker and a Scout Camper . Let's review the four steps of advanc emen t to see how they fit with your Camp plans . 1• PREPARATION: By preparation in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, i nclude s the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills r e qu ired as a part of a natural hiking and camping e xper ience . 2. QUALIFICATION : Row does he qualify? "By pas si ng a test " is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. Be qual if ies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, ther e is little need for the axe sharpening test or the fire-building t e st, because he has passed them. A TROOP (DAY OR OVERNIGHT) HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . 3. REVIEW: By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qual ify in camp bu t not given the opportunity for r ev ie w and recognition unt i l Fall, often lose interest 4. RECOGNITION: By a Court of Honor . The Scout should have this recognition a s soon as poss i ble , perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediat e ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night . All Badges and awards available at the Administration Off ic e . Skill awards should be prese nted daily . Now, t ha t we have reviewed t he four s teps i n advancement, le t's plan for it . Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by us i ng the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides . Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups : Aquatics, Field Sports, and Sco u tcraft . (Physical Tra ini ng is buil t in t o all of Scouting's Activities . ) In the aquatics and field s ports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on ha nd; however, they may call upon your Unit 's Junio r Leaders to assist t hem . The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conse rvation, Campcraft, Rope Yar d and Woodt ools. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Troop Campsite. It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadership in t hese areas with the assistance of your Camp Commissioner in either th e Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Juni o r Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instruction to meet those needs. -23- �2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to strengthen the operation of the Patrol Method. 3. This is one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be cont inually training their boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner will work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTONITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges which can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp . It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Eadge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a certain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE. In many cases, however, tbe boy who does not complete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a certification of "Par tial Completion . " Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for this purpose. STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects i n which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requiremen t s well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to get too many Merit Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two a.nd do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that par ticu lar Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3. There are many requirements which CAN and MUST be completed before going to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POINTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan to try for a fe w. 5. The Scoutmaster should be prepared to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge/Skill Award work by name> subject, Troop number by May 2nd -24- �SKILLS AWARDS 1. FIRST AID 2.

SCOUTC RAFT - Certain Merit Badges ar e designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an i ndividual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badge or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badge s have varying degrees of difficulty which require expP. rience, at time s size, and a maturity of judgement which most of our younger Scouts do not possess. A closer look at those badges, hopefully, will give you, the Unit Leader, an opportunity to better counsel your Scouts as to the desirability of them taking these badges while at Camp . CAMPING This is the final test of a Scout's ability to be home in the woods. Younger scouts, even i f they have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can o Efe r. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate ex periences they have had on the trail to peers who cao appreciate what is being said. Unit Leaders should be aware that small two-man tents are to be brought to camp for the overnight . PIONEERING This badge has a pr oject in it that younger, smaller boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions oE labor. They, at times feel left out of what is going on, whereas the next year they might be bigger and better able to cope with th e projec t . COOKING Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to safely work in the cooking area. Sometimes control of every situation becomes difficult if the maturity of the Scout is lacking . WILDERNESS SURVIVAL Most of the intricacies of the badge are lost on younger Scouts . Although they learn the basic requirements, this badge is designed Eor more in depth challenges which the older boy can appreciate and which is hindered by the younger boy who is still struggling with the basic requirements . Maturity of experience and judgment would increase the enjoyment of this badge for everyone taking it. -28- �THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council agaio offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper .

In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13- TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organization used to conduct your year-round program is the one you use to conduct your Troop ' s suo:mer camp program. Many Scoutmasters have found that when the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the re-organization of Patrols and the election of new or temporary Patrol Leaders should be conducted well in advance of coming to Camp. This will give the new Patrol a chance to develop Patrol spirit and give the new leaders some "on the job traini ng". However, your main objective should be to see that every Scout gets to camp. Isn't that why he really joined you.r Troop in the first place? A Troop well organized in this matter will not only have a stimulating camp experience , but also have well-trained junior leaders for the next fall's program. Each Troop must be under the direction of a competent male adult leader (at least 21 years of age) who is in residence at all times with the Troop. This individual, normally the Scoutmaster, is in charge of the entire camp life of the Troop. ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS should be in charge of a phase of camp life assigned by the Scoutmaster . It is suggested that they be placed in direct charge of the program or commissary operations . JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usually given specific responsibilities involving definite skills, such as instructors in campcraft, nature, or certain activities such as campfires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leader of the Troop, should conduct the Troop leaders council and be responsible for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of the individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities . They represent their Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council. At least once a day, usually during rest period, the Troop Leaders Council should meet to discuss the day's schedule of duty and program. Each Patrol will then be responsible for its share of the overall activity and program. This group is responsible for the daily inspections, all Troop activities, the planning for and scoring of the "Honor Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING - LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT . -14- ,;.,._. ·,~ .s .,,,Jc flos+ s.,,Je m ~ /:f'pd,·Nff During tour of Camp, Osage Units will visit the Dining Hall and be given table assignments. All members of the same Unit will be seated in the same area. You will occupy these SAME TABLES throughout the week. Unit Leaders and Staff Members will ac t as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They will see to it that the "Host System" as explained is carried out, and also guide the conversation and conduct at their tables. Each table is to designate a waiter for each day in advance. (P l ease post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- The seating arrangement should rotate one place each day ( except the guest positions who will occupy the same seat all week) as shown in the diagram. "HOST SYSTEM" - A prime camp objective is to train the Scout in those good manners and court esies essential to one who tries to live up to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law. The Host is responsible for introduc tions, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and instructs the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go for the next course . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food the first time around, and that the guests are served first . THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads , and observes the rout i ne so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS r e port 30 minutes in advance of mealtime and properly set up the tables . Waiters are the only persons who may go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward who moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishes, food, etc, at the close of the meal, c lean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table . The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable . GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON COMMITTEES O~ SCOUTING MORNING GRACE: 1.

A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster . Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping, and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The second is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity. Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week of Camp (July 7-13, 1985) at the Kia Kima Scout Reserva tion . The confe rence will be under the direction of The cost is $85. 00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represent ed! ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Scout Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information towards the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Prog ram. Leaders who know the ways and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program . Training in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fun. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m . - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m . Instructors will be qualified Scouters a ttending Camp with you . PROV IS[ONAL CAMPING A provisional Troop headed by a camp staff member of the Kia Kima Scout Reservation is available for those scouts that wish to return to camp for an additional one, two, three or four weeks. Also if for some reason your troop is not coming to camp Re can still attend . This troop functions like a home troop, except that it is made of scouts from throughout our council . Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70 .00 -20- LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, what about your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purposeful, exciting, and full of fun? Will it meet our general camping objectives? Will it be so conducted as to strengthen your year-round organization, to strengthen Patrols as working units? The answer to all these questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now to plan your program to meet these objectives . The follwiog is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ~-The success of your camp program will be measured by the extent to which your Unit has learned the following things: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leaders, To train its own instructors , To acquire new interests . These may serve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout the year . A good program for the camp follows along the idea of a morning actlvity as a learning session, an afternoon activity as a doing session, and the evening activity as a fun session. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Programming: DO l. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good manners, good fellowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp . 2. Allow Patrols to plan and carry out some things they thought of and wan t to do. 3. Have enough program to keep everyone busy - BUT ... .. . ... . 4. Allow for and suggest some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OOTi ng in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6 . Be sure there ' s personal achievement, advancement possibilities, and fun in the program. 7. Keep in personal touch with what's happening in the Unit - - - get verbal Patrol Reports each day . 8 . Make the method succeed by EXPECTING and HELPING it to work. -21- DON'T I. Al low too many activities to be scheduled . Ca mp i ng should be r elaxing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule - some ci rcumstances warrant changes in plans . 3. Engage in activities that c an be done better in t o wn, like base ball, and football . 4. Overloo k the four big items in program -- WOODC RA FT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS . 5. Judge the success of the camp by Lhe numb er of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some . ) 6 . Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself . 7. Permit a camp violation, an er r or in operation to presis t or continue. "Sto p the Show" -- correc t it immediately . A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP . Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Cam p. Laying out the Sulllller Camp Program sho uld be a major topic of i nterest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks befo r e your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in t his booklet as a n aid. Remember, Camp is condu cted on a TROO P , PATROL , AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cann ot be decided upon independen tl y . To be s ure, it may be necessary to occasio nally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in orde r to accomodate ever yone, but this will be done wh e n no other alternative is possible . Let ' s dramat ize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we 're t alking this over with the boy leaders of yo ur Oni t. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfi r es, and taps are already l isted on you r p r ogram . NEXT, what does our Unit need? What ski l l practice and advancement experie nce is needed? Let's STO P A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tende r foo t , Seco nd , and Fir st Class r equirements . What does a Scou t have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next l ogical questioni s "Why can ' t my boys become Fi r st or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, "If you PLAN for it, they can. " At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancemen t is much great e r than in the home community, so don't miss the once-a-year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one ra nk . -22- REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scout in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scout Hiker and a Scout Camper . Let's review the four steps of advancement to see how they fit with your Camp plans . 1 • PREPARATION: 2 . QUALIFICATION : 3. REVIEW: 4. RECOGNITION: By preparation in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, i ncludes the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills r equired as a part of a natural hiking and camping e xper ience . Row does he qualify? "By pas sing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. Be qual ifies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, there is little need for the axe sharpening test or the fire-building t est, because he has passed them. A TROOP (DAY OR OVERNIGHT) HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qualify in camp bu t not given the opportunity for rev iew and recognition unt i l Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor . The Scout should have this recognition as soon as poss i ble , perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediat e ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night . All Badges and awards available at the Administration Office . Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, t ha t we have reviewed the four s teps in advancement, let's plan for it . Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by us i ng the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides . Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups : Aquatics, Field Sports, and Scoutcraft . (Physical Tra ining is buil t int o all of Scouting's Activities . ) In the aquatics and field s ports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit 's Junio r Leaders to assist them . The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conservation, Campcraft, Rope Yar d and Woodtools. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Troop Campsite. It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadership in these areas with the assistance of your Camp Commissioner in either the Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1 . Your Unit's Patrol and Junior Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instruction to meet those needs. -23- 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to strengthen the operation of the Patrol Method. 3 . This is one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be cont inually training their boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner will work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTONITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges which can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp . It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Eadge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a certain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE. In many cases, however, tbe boy who does not complete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a certification of "Partial Completion . " Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for this purpose. STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects i n which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirement s well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to get too many Merit Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two a.nd do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that particular Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3 . There are many requirements which CAN and MUST be completed before going to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POINTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan to try for a few. 5. The Scoutmaster should be prepared to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge/Skill Award work by name> subject, Troop number by May 2nd -24- SKILLS AWARDS 1. FIRST AID 2.

A "Safe Swim Defense " and " Safety Afloat" Certification will be conducted for all Uni t Leaders during their week at Camp . This cer tification is a must before conducting a Tr oop swim or Troop boa t ing activity . 4 . The "Buddy System" is the backbone of the BSA aquatics program. The buddy system and proper use of the buddy tags wi 11 be explained at the aquatics orientation. Our goal is to have "EVERY SCOUT A SWIMMER AND EVERY SWIMMER A LIFE SAVER" . SPECIAL AQUATIC AWARDS BSA LIFEGUARD Scouts must hold Swimming, Life Saving, Canoeing, First Aid and Rowing Merit Badges . C. P.R. Certification is required prior to Camp . This is a 30 hour course.

Ole Man of the Bow will also be conducted at Archery Range each week . Specific times for all shoots will be announced at the Sunday Leaders Roundcable. SCOUTC RAFT Certain Merit Badges are designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an i ndividual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badge or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badge s have varying degrees of difficulty which require expP. rience, at times size, and a maturity of judgement which most of our younger Scouts do not possess. A closer look at those badges, hopefully, will give you, the Unit Leader, an opportunity to better counsel your Scouts as to the desirability of them taking these badges while at Camp . CAMPING PIONEERING COOKING WILDERNESS SURVIVAL This is the final test of a Scout's ability to be home in the woods. Younger scouts, even if they have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can o Efer. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate experiences they have had on the trail to peers who cao appreciate what is being said. Unit Leaders should be aware that small two-man tents are to be brought to camp for the overnight . This badge has a project in it that younger, smaller boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions oE labor. They, at times feel left out of what is going on, whereas the next year they might be bigger and better able to cope with the projec t . Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to safely work in the cooking area. Sometimes control of every situation becomes difficult if the maturity of the Scout is lacking . Most of the intricacies of the badge are lost on younger Scouts . Although they learn the basic requirements, this badge is designed Eor more in depth challenges which the older boy can appreciate and which is hindered by the younger boy who is still struggling with the basic requirements . Maturity of experience and judgment would increase the enjoyment of this badge for everyone taking it. -28- THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council agaio offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper .

This is the time to get in those outdoor and aquatics req uirement s that are difficult to obtain at home. Some requirements for particular merit badges must be completed at home prior to arrival at Camp. Please guide your Scouts on this matter. FIRST YEAR CAMPERS Care should be taken for the NEW CAMPER. Too many times , the first camping experience is his last because of the way he is treated by Leaders and fellow Scouts while at Camp . We want you to have fun, but NOT at the expense of an inexperienced camper. There are numerous instances where "hazing" has led to serious consequences, both to the physical well-being and emotional stability of the boy. -9- I �I I CAMP STANDARDS, INFORMATION AND SERVICES (continue d) LEAVING CAMP Any Scout or Scouter who leaves Camp at ANY TLME -for any reason must stop at the Administr ation Office, clear it with the Camp Director, and SIGN OUT.

In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13 - �• ' ' 'I TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organ izatio n used to condu ct your year-r ound progra m is the one you use to condu ct your Troop 's summer camp progra m. Many Scout maste rs have found that when the entir e Troop will not be in Camp, the r e -orga nizat i on of Patro ls and the elect ion of new or tempo rary Patro l Leade rs shoul d be condu cted well in advan ce of comin g to Camp . This will give the new Patro l a chanc e to devel op Patro l spiri t and give the new leade rs some "on the job traini ng". Howev er, your main ob jectiv e shoul d be to see that every Scout gets t o camp. Isn't that why he really joined your Troop in the first place ? A Troop well organ ized in this matte r will not only have a stimu lating camp exper ience , but also have well- traine d junio r leade rs for the next fall's progra m. Each Troop must be under the direc tion of a compe t ent male adult leade r ( at least 21 years of age) who is in r es id ence at all times with the Troop . This indiv idual , norma lly the Scout maste r, is in charg e of the entire camp life of the Troop . ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS shoul d be in charg e of a phase of camp life assign ed by the Scout maste r. It is sugge sted that they be place d in direc t charg e of the progra m or comm issary opera tions . JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usual ly given speci fic respo nsibi lities invo l ving defin ite skill s, such as inst ructo rs in camp craft, natur e, or certa i n activ ities such as camp fires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leade r of the Troop , shoul d condu ct the Troop leade rs counc il and be r espon sib l e for the progra m sched uling , inspe ction s, roll calls , and the coord inatio n of t he indiv idual Patro ls. PATROL LEADERS shoul d act in their usual capac ity as the boy leade rs of the Patro ls in all their Patro l activ ities. They repre sent the ir Patro l in the Troop Leade rs Counc il . At lea s t once a day, usual ly durin g rest perio d, the Troop Leade rs Counc il shoul d meet to discu ss the day's sched ule of duty and progra m. Each Patro l will then be respo nsible for its share of the overa ll activ ity and progra m. This group is respo nsible for the daily inspe ction s, all Troop activ ities, the plann ing for and scorin g of the "Camp Natio nal Stand ard Troop " ratin g.

The Hos t is responsible f or intr oduct i ons, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and i nst r ucts the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go fo r the ne xt course . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food t he first time around, and that the guests are served first. THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads, and observes the routine so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS report 30 minut e s in advance of mealtime and properly set up the tables. Waiters are the only persons who may go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward who moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishes, food, etc, at the close of the meal, clean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table. The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable. GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON SCOUTING I I' I I I I I I -- CO~I TTEES MORNING GRACE : 1.

This program will be very valuable in the training of Troop leaders. Any Scout in your troop currently filling a leadership position is eligible to participate. A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster. Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping , and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The second is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity . Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week of Camp (July 1-7, 1984) at the Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The conference will be under the direction of Bob Yahola. The cost is $85.00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represented! ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Scout Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information towards the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Program . Leaders who know the ways and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program. Training in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fun. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Instructors will be qualified Scouters attending Camp with you. PROVISIONAL CAMPING A provisional Troop headed by a camp staff member of the Kia Kima Scout Reservation is available for those scouts that wish to return to camp for an additional one, two, three or four weeks. Also if for some reason your troop is not coming to camp He can still attend. This troop functions like a home troop, except that it is made of scouts from throughout our council. Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70.00 -20- �LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, wha t abou t your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purpo seful , excit ing, and full of fun? Will it meet our gene ral campi ng objec tives ? Will it be so condu cted as to stren gthen your year- round orga nizat ion, to stren gthen Patro ls as work ing units ? The answe r to all t hese quest ions will be YES if you and your Patro l Leade rs begin now t o plan your pr ogram to meet these objec tives . The follw ing is desig ned to help you pre pare a top-f light progr am. REMEMBER ---Th e succe ss of your camp progr am wi ll be measu red by the exten t to which your Unit has learn ed the follow ing thing s: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leade rs, To train its own instr ucto rs, To acqu ire new inter ests. These may se r ve to stimu late the build ing of your Unit 's progr am throu ghou t t he year. A good progr am for the camp fol l ows along the idea of a morni ng activ ity as a learn ing sessi on, an after noon activ ity as a doing sessi on, and the eveni ng activ ity as a fun sessi on. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Progr ammi ng: DO 1. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class . Insis t on good manne rs, good f e llows hip, clean sport sman ship, clean fun, and a clean camp. 2. Allow Patro ls to plan and car ry out some thing s they thoug ht of and want to do. 3. Have enoug h progr am to keep every one busy - BUT •• .•. . ..• . 4. Allow for and sugge st some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OUTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overn ight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there 's perso nal achie veme nt, advan ceme nt poss ibili ties, a nd fun in the progr am . 7. Keep in perso nal touch with what 's happe ning in the Unit - - - get verba l Patro l Repo rts each day . 8. Make the metho d succe ed by EXPECTING and HELPI NG it to work . -21 - �I I I I I I I DON' T 1. Allow too many activities to be scheduled. r e l axing. Camping should be 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule some circumstances warrant changes in plans. 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in town, like baseball, and football. 4. Overlook the four big items in program - - WOODCRAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS. 5. Judge the success of the camp by the number of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some.) 6. Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself. 7. Permit a camp violation, an error in operation to presist or continue. "Stop the Show" - -- correct it immediately. A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP. Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Camp. Laying out the Sunnner Camp Program should be a major topic of interest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks before your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in this booklet as an aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP, PATROL, AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independently. To be sure, it may be necessary to occasionally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in order to accomodate everyone, but this will be done when no other alternative is possible. Let's dramatize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we're talking this over with the boy leaders of your Unit. I I FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfires, and taps are a lready listed on your program. l NEXT, what does our Unit need? What skill practice and advancement experience is needed? Let ' s STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class requirements. What does a Scout have to DO to advance to these ranks? l I l l The next logical questionis "Why can't my boys become First or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, " If you PLAN for it, they can." At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancement is much greater than in the home community, so don ' t miss the once - a- year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one rank. -22- �REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scou t in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scou t Hiker and a Scout Camper. Let's review the four steps of advanceme nt to see how they fit with your Camp plans. 1. PREPARATION: By preparati on in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, includes the opportuni ty for every Scout to participa te in all the skills required as a part of a natural hiking and camping experienc e. 2. QUALIFICATION: How does he qualify? "By passing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. He qualifies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, there is little need for the axe sharpenin g test or the fire - building test, because he has passed them. A TROOP DAY OR OVERNIGHT HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . 3. 4. REVIEW: RECOGNITION: By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qualify in camp but not given the opportuni ty for review and recognitio n until Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor. The Scout should have this recognitio n as soon as possible, perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediate ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night. All Badges and awards available at the Administr ation Office. Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, that we have reviewed the four steps 1n advancem ent, let's plan for it. Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by using the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides. Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups: Aquatics, Field Spor t s, and Scoutcraf t . (Physical Training is built into all of Scouting' s Activitie s.) In the aquatics and field sports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit's Junior Leaders to assist them. The Scoutcraf t areas include Nature, Conservat ion , Campcraf t, Pathfindi ng, Rope Yard, Woodtools , and the Tracking and Trailing area. Some of these areas should be duplicate d in each Tr oop Campsite . It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadershi p in these areas with the assistanc e of your Camp Commissio ner in either the Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Junior Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instructio n to meet those needs. -23- I •I I I I I I I I •I ...... �•I I - 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping t o st r engthen the operation of the Pat r ol Method. 3. This i s one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be continually training t heir boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner wi l l work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTUNITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges wh i ch can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp. It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Badge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a ce r tain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE . In many cases, however, t he boy who does not c omplete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a cer tification of "Partial Completion." Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for t his purpose . STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subject s in which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirements well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to ge t too many Merit . Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two and do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that particular Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3.

The Order as you can see from the statemen t of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scout ing. It is a device used in the camping program of 1he Boy Scouts of America.

It is natural that the program and selling of Scout camping should lead to the formati on of camper' honor societies. In the earl y years of Scouting in America many s uch organizat ions were formed . The success of the O rder of the Arrow in its early expansion years was due in large measure to the democrat ic basis for the selection of cand idates; the recognitio n of the Scout unit ; the camping requirem ent; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which t he promotion and improvemen t of camping. beginning in a boy's own unit. were the central idea ; colorful ceremoni es; a well-defin ed plan of organization; li1era1urc- covering ceremonies and adminis1ra1ion- 1ha1 could 0.: ca~oly adapted w local c0uncib. 1hc practical and colorful in1erprcta1ion of the Seoul Oath and Law ; the Good Turn and t he ' Pi ritual ' qualitic~ of Scouting The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-do ors rather than the indoors.

Some requirements for particular merit badges must be completed at home prior to arrival at Camp. Please guide your Scouts on this matter. Care should be taken for the NEW CAMPER. Too many times , the first camping experience is his last because of the way he is treated by Leaders and fellow Scouts while at Camp . We want you to have fun, but NOT at the expense of an inexperienced camper. There are numerous instances where "hazing" has led to serious consequences, both to the physical well-being and emotional stability of the boy. -9- I I I I I I I I l I I l CAMP STANDARDS, INFORMATION AND SERVICES (continued) LEAVING CAMP Any Scout or Scouter who leaves Camp at ANY TLME -for any reason must stop at the Administration Office, clear it with the Camp Director, and SIGN OUT.

In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13- • ' ' ' I TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organization used to conduct your year-round program is the one you use to conduct your Troop's summer camp program. Many Scoutmasters have found that whe n the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the r e -organization of Patrols and the election of new or temporary Patrol Leaders should be conducted well in advance of coming to Camp . This will give the new Patrol a chance to develop Patrol spirit and give the new leaders some "on the job training". However, your main ob jective should be to see that every Scout gets t o camp. Isn't that why he really joined your Troop in the first place? A Troop well organized in this matter will not only have a stimulating camp experience, but also have well-trained junior leaders for the next fall's program. Each Troop must be under the direction of a compe t ent male adult leader ( at least 21 years of age) who is in r esidence at all times with the Troop. This individual, normally the Scoutmaster, is in charge of the entire camp life of the Troop. ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS should be in charge of a phase of camp life assigned by the Scoutmaster. It is suggested that they be placed in direct charge of the program or commissary operations. JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usually given specific responsibilities invo l ving definite skills, such as inst ructors in campcraft, nature, or certain activities such as campfires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leader of the Troop , should conduct the Troop leaders council and be r esponsib l e for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of t he individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities. They represent the ir Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council . At leas t once a day, usually during rest period, the Troop Leaders Council should meet to discuss the day's schedule of duty and program. Each Patrol will then be responsible for its share of the overall activity and program. This group is responsible for the daily inspections, all Troop activities, the planning for and scoring of the "Camp National Standard Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING - LEADERSH IP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT. - 14- F/IMILl STYLE /:l__65T Sy~t~M OF Fk~ tH·I'#, During tour of Camp, Osage Units will visit the Dining Hall and be given table assignments. All members of the same Unit will be seated in the same area. You will occupy these SAME TABLES throughout the week. Unit Leaders and Staff Members will act as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They wi 11 see to it that the "Host System" as explained is carried out, and also guide the conversation and conduct at their tables. Each table is to designate a waiter for each day in advance. (Please post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- • I ' I I I I I I I -- The seating a r ran gement should rotate one place each day (except the guest positions who will occupy the same seat all week) as shown in the diagram • " HOST SYSTEM " - A pr ime camp objective is to t r a i n the Scout in those good mann ers and cou rt esies essential to one who trie s to live up t o the princ i pl es of t he Scout Oath and Law . The Hos t is responsible f or intr odu ct i ons, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and i n st r ucts the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go fo r the ne x t co urse . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food t he first time around, and that the guests are served first. THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads, and observes the routine so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS report 30 minut e s in advance of mealtime and properly set up the tables. Waiters are the only persons who may go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward who moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishes, food, etc, at the close of the meal, clean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table. The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable. GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON CO~ITTEES ON SCOUTING MORNING GRACE : 1.

A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster. Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping , and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The second is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity . Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The conference Bob Yahola. The cost is $85.00 per Scout. Troop represented! of Camp (July 1-7, 1984) at the will be under the direction of Make plans now to have your ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Scout Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information towards the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Program . Leaders who know the ways and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program. Training in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fun. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Instructors will be qualified Scouters attending Camp with you.

Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70.00 -20- LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, wha t about your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purposeful, exciting, and full of fun? Will it meet our general camping objectives? Will it be so conducted as to strengthen your year-round organization, to strengthen Patrols as working units? The answer to all t hese questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now t o plan your pr ogram to meet these objectives . The follwing is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ---The success of your camp program wi ll be measured by the extent to which your Unit has learned the following things: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leaders, To train its own instructors, To acquire new interests. These may ser ve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout t he year. A good program for the camp fol l ows along the idea of a morning activity as a learning session, an afternoon activity as a doing session, and the evening activity as a fun session. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Programming: DO 1. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good ma nners, good f e llowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp. 2. Allow Patrols to plan and ca r ry out some things they thought of and want to do. 3. Have enough program to keep everyone busy - BUT •• .•. . ..• . 4. Allow for and suggest some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OUTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there's personal achievement, advancement possibilities, a n d fun in the program . 7 . Keep in personal touch with what's happening in the Unit - - - get verbal Patrol Reports each day . 8. Make the method succeed by EXPECTING and HELPING it to work. -21 - I I I I I I I I l l I l l DON' T 1. Allow too many activities to be scheduled. Camping should be r e l axing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule - some circumstances warrant changes in plans. 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in town, like baseball, and football. 4. Overlook the four big items in program - - WOODCRAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS. 5. Judge the success of the camp by the number of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some.) 6. Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself. 7. Permit a camp violation, an error in operation to presist or continue. "Stop the Show" - -- correct it immediately. A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP. Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Camp. Laying out the Sunnner Camp Program should be a major topic of interest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks before your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in this booklet as an aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP, PATROL, AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independently. To be sure, it may be necessary to occasionally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in order to accomodate everyone, but this will be done when no other alternative is possible. Let's dramatize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we're talking this over with the boy leaders of your Unit. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfires, and taps are a lready listed on your program. NEXT, what does our Unit need? What skill practice and advancement experience is needed? Let ' s STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class requirements. What does a Scout have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next logical questionis "Why can't my boys become First or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, " If you PLAN for it, they can." At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancement is much greater than in the home community, so don ' t miss the once - a- year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one rank. -22- REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scou t in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scou t Hiker and a Scout Camper. Let's review the four steps of advancement to see how they fit with your Camp plans. 1. PREPARATION: 2. QUALIFICATION: 3. REVIEW: 4 . RECOGNITION: By preparation in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, includes the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills required as a part of a natural hiking and camping experience. How does he qualify? "By passing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. He qualifies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, there is little need for the axe sharpening test or the fire - building test, because he has passed them. A TROOP DAY OR OVERNIGHT HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qualify in camp but not given the opportunity for review and recognition until Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor. The Scout should have this recognition as soon as possible, perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediately after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night. All Badges and awards available at the Administration Office. Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, that we have reviewed the four steps 1n advancement, let's plan for it. Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by using the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides. Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups: Aquatics, Field Spor t s, and Scoutcraft . (Physical Training is built into all of Scouting's Activities.) In the aquatics and field sports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit's Junior Leaders to assist them. The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conservation , Campcraft, Pathfinding, Rope Yard, Woodtools, and the Tracking and Trailing area. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Tr oop Campsite . It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadership in these areas with the assistance of your Camp Commissioner in either the Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Junior Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instruction to meet those needs. -23- I • I I I I I I I I • I ...... • I I - 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to st r engthen the operation of the Patr ol Method. 3. This i s one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be continually training t heir boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner wi l l work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTUNITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges whi ch can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp. It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Badge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a cer tain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE . In many cases, however, the boy who does not c omplete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a cer tification of "Partial Completion." Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for t his purpose . STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects in which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirements well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to get too many Merit . Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two and do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that particular Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3. There are many r equirements which CAN and MUST be completed before go1ng to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POI NTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan t o try for a few. 5 . The Scoutmaster should be prepare d to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge / Skill Award work by name, subject, Troop number by the May 2nd meeting. - 24- SKILLS AWARDS 1.

An experienced staff awa i ts to provide basic instructions as well as advanced Merit Badge instruction. All of the BSA aquatic related Merit Badges are available except Motor Boating. AQUATIC SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS 1 . Anyone participating in aquatic activities must have a current (w ithi n 36 months) Physician's Certified Medical Examination, take the swim test cla ss ification and attend the aquatic orientation . 2. Non swimmers may go boating but must wear a P .F.D. (Personal Flotation Device) and be accompanied by a swimmer. Canoes and sail boats may only be used by swimmers, P.F.D.'s must be used at all times. 3. A "Safe Swim Defense" and "Safety Afloat" Certification will be conducted for all Unit Leaders during their week at Camp. This certification is a must before conducting a Troop swim or Troop boating activity. 4. The "Buddy System" is the backbone of the BSA aquatics program. The buddy system and proper use of the buddy tags will be explai ned at the aquatics orientation. Our goal is to have "EV ERY SCOUT A SWIMMER AND EVERY SWIMMER A LIFE SAVER". SPECIAL AQUATIC AWARDS BSA LIFEGUARD Scouts mu st hold Swimming, Life Saving and Rowing Merit Badges. C.P .R . Certification is required prior to Camp. Scouts will earn a pocket size certificate and are entitled to wear the patch on their swim trunks. MILE SWIM The Mile Swim is held on Thursday evenings 4:30 p.m. at the Lake at Camp Cherokee under the supervision of the Aquatics Director. Scouts wishing to participate must successfully complete 4 hours of training in distance swimming. Each Scout successfully completing the Mile Swim will receive a pocket size certificate and are entitled to we ar the patch on their swim trunks. -27- l I I I I 1 I I FIELD SPORTS The Field Spo rt s area i nc l udes t he Rifle and Archery Range , Ori e nteering . Th e Range Office r will conduct range orientation at the Campfire Circle . The Archery and Rifle/Shotgun Orientation will be given at this time . OLE MAN OF THE RIFLE / OLE MAN OF THE BOW SHOOT Ea c h week, the Range Officer will conduct a Rifle Match of all leaders (over age 18). Ol e Man of the Bow will also be conduc ted at Archery Range each week. Specific times for all shoots will be announced at the Sunday Leade r s Roundtable. SC OU TC RAFT Certain Merit Badges are designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an individual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badg e or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badges have varying degrees of difficulty which require experience, at times size, and a maturity of judgement which most of our younger Scouts do not possess. A closer look at those badges, hopefully, will give you, the Unit Leader, an opportunity to better counsel your Scouts as to the desirability of them taking these badges while a t Camp. CAMPING PIONEERING COOKING WILDERNESS SURVIVAL This is the final test of a Scout's ability to be home in the woods. Younger scouts, even if t hey have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can offer. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate experiences they have had on the trail to peers who can appreciate what is being said. Unit Leaders should be aware that small two - man tents are to be brought to camp for the overnight. This badge has a project i n it that younger, sma l ler boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions of labor. They , at times feel left out of what is going on , whereas the next year they might be bigger and better able to cope with the project. Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to s a fely work in the cooking area. Sometimes control of every situation becomes difficult if the maturity of the Scout is lacking . Most of the intricacies of the badge are lost on younger Scouts . Although they learn the bas ic requirements, this badge is de s igned for more in depth challenges which the older boy can apprec iate and which is hindered b y the younger boy who is still str uggling wi t h the basic requirements . Maturity of exper i ence and judgment would increase the enjoyment of t h is badge for everyone taking it. -28- SCOUTCRAFT (continued) ECOLOGY/CONSERVATION The Ecology/Conservation program is headquartered in the Nature Lodge. This area offers the most Merit Badges of any program area in camp . Astronomy, Environmental Science, Fish and Wildlife Management, Forestry, Mammals, Nature, Reptile Study, Soil & Water Conservation and Fishing. Each week the Ecology/Conservation staff offers special programs for Scouts to participate as individuals, Patrols or Troops. Turtle Races, Critter Crawls, and Star Study are just a few. Camp conservation projects are also available upon request. HANDICRAFT The Handicraft Area is headquartered in Handicraft Tent. Scouts can receive instruction Basketry, Woodcarving and Leatherwork as well as Indian Lore. CAMP WIDE EVENTS Each year a campwide event is conducted to challenge the teamwork, resourcefulness and Scout Spirit of Patrols. This year is no exception. Since the Patrol method is the name of the game, we are currently planning an event that will significantly strengthen your Scout Patrols. This should serve to be a real asset to your overall Troop program. TROOP ACTIVITIES Every Troop is encouraged to take an overnighter and cook two (2) meals during the week. Your assigned campsite is only a "base" - the starting point to fun and adventure. The Central Camp is only a place for instruction. Real Scout Camp happens in the other 865 acres known as Camp and its surrounding land . Don't short-change your Scouts - plan now to see it all. This experience will enable a Scout to complete part of his Camping Skill Award requirements and many of the Merit Badge Requirements. This Camp experience may be done in the following · ways: OVERNIGHT CANOE TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating. OVERNIGHT HIKING TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating FREE SWIM - LAKE FREE SWIM - RIVER CANOE TO FREE SWIM SCHEDULE YOUR TROOPS OVERNIGHT AND FREE SWIM AT THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE ON SUNDAY. -29- I •• I I I I I I I I ' I ' ' ' I THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council again offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper.

Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as a n essential to a happy camping experience. True brotherhood exists among those who exhibit these t raits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scout ing . It is a device used in the campin g program of 1he Boy Scout s of America. It has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. It gath er' tho'e designated by troops o r posts as members of the Orde r into a local council group known as a lodge. LODGE The O rder of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is nat ural th at the program and sellin g of Scout camping should lead to the formati on of camper' honor societies. In the earl y years of Scouting in America m any s uch organization s were formed . The success of the O rder of the Arrow in its ea rly expansion years was due in large measure to the democratic basis for the sele cti o n of cand idates; the recognition of th e Scout u nit; the camping requirement ; a pract ical plan for service to Scouting in which the promotion and improvement of camping. begin ning in a boy's own unit. were the central idea ; colorful ceremonies; a well-defined plan of o rganization; li1 era1urc- covering ceremonies and admin is1ra1i o n - 1ha1 could 0.: ca~oly adapted w local c0uncib. 1hc practica l a n d colo r ful in1e rprcta1 ion of the Seoul Oath and Law ; the Good Turn and t he ' Pi rit ual ' qualitic~ of Scouting The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-doors rather than the indoors.

Orde al fee s ar e : $ 10.00 Bro therhood Fees are: $ 7.00 CHICICASAH LODGE The Order or the Arrow emphasi?.CS that a good Scout camper is not only proficient in the skills of Scoutcraft but also practices the principles of Scouting expressed in the Scou1 Oath and Law and in the tradition of the Good Tum. Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as an essential to a happy camping experience. True bro therhood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their dail y lives. The O rder as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart Crom Scouting. lL is a device used in the camping program of the Doy Scouts of America. IL has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. IL gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the Order into a local council group known as a lodge. The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is natural that the program and sell ing of Scout camping should lead 10 the formation of campers honor societies. fn rhe early years or Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow in its early e,;pansion years was due in large measu re to the democratic basis for the selection of candidates; the recognition of the Scom 11oit; the camping requirement; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which the promotion and improvement of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central idea; colorful ceremonies: a well-defined plan of organization; literature-covering ceremonies and administration-that cou ld !>.: eai.ily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorru1 interpretation of the Scout Oath and Law: the Good Turn and the \piritua l 'qualities of Scouting The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-dOQr,r rather than the indoors. IL was born oo an island wilderness. It needs the sun and the ram. the woods and the plains, the waters ancl the starlit skv. For out of life in the open comes a precious ingredient which ourcou n1ry and an) country needs if it is to survive-self-reliance that makes men strong in any um~ of stress �SUGGESTED PARENTS NIGHT PROGRAM FOR CAMP PROMOTION I.

CS that a good Scout camper is not only proficient in the skills of Scoutcraft but also practices the principles of Scouting expressed in the Scou1 Oath and Law and in the tradition of the Good Tum. Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as an essential to a happy camping experience. True bro therhood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart Crom Scouting. lL is a device used in the camping program of the Doy Scouts of America. IL has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. IL gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the Order into a local council group known as a lodge. LODGE The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is natural that the program and selling of Scout camping should lead 10 the formation of campers honor societies. fn rhe early years or Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow in its early e,;pansion years was due in large measure to the democratic basis for the selection of candidates; the recognition of the Scom 11oit; the camping requirement; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which the promotion and improvement of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central idea; colorful ceremonies: a well-defined plan of organization; literature-covering ceremonies and administration-that could !>.: eai.ily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorru1 interpretation of the Scout Oath and Law: the Good Turn and the \piritual 'qualities of Scouting The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-dOQr,r rather than the indoors. IL was born oo an island wilderness. It needs the sun and the ram. the woods and the plains, the waters ancl the starlit skv. For out of life in the open comes a precious ingredient which ourcoun1ry and an) country needs if it is to survive-self-reliance that makes men strong in any um~ of stress SUGGESTED PARENTS NIGHT PROGRAM FOR CAMP PROMOTION I.

GOOD CAMPI GAWARD - II i �The Order o the Arrow emphasizes that a good Scout camper is not only proficient in the skills of Scoutcra ft but also practices the principles of Scouting expressed in the Scout Oath and Law and in the tradition of the Good Tum. Particula r atten1 tion is paid to cheerful service as J , an essential to a happy camping I experience. True brotherh ood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statemen t of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scouting. It is a evice used in the camp1 ing program of the Boy Scouts o America. It has its roots in the troop and . . post that goes camping. It gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the ..· ~~ int9 ·a local counc · gro~p . ~ , a~gc. · The Order of the Arrow is a thing ofthe individual rather than · qf the mass. It is natural that the program and setting of Scout camping should lead to the formation of campers honor societies. In the early years of Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow iii_its early- expan-sion years was due in large · measure to the democrat ic basis for the selection of candidate s; the recognition of the Scout unit; the camping requirem ent; a practical plan for service to o • ng in which e promotio n and mproveme nt of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central i ea; colorf 1 c remonies; a well-defined plan of organization; literature -coverin g ceremonies and administ ration-th t could be easily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorful interpret ation of the Scout Oath and Law; the Good Turn and the spiritual "qualitie s of Scouting. 'Tile r er ot the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-do ors rather an the indoors. It was born on n island wilderness. It needs the sun and the rain, the woods and the plains, the waters and the rli s y. or o of Iffe! n the open comes a precious ingredient whic our country and any country needs · if it is to survive- self-reliance that . makes men strong in any time of 1 stress. ecof 21 �OGE TTO KIA KIMA 'KIA.Kl.M A CHEROKEE VILLAGE TO ST LOUIS J INT. 55 JONESBORO HO TO GET FROM CHEROKEE VILLAGE TO KIA KIMA SCOUT RESERVATION TµRN· RIGHT AT LIBERTY CASH GROCERY STORE .

GOOD CAMPI G AWARD - I ~ I i Hil<I NG The Order o the Arrow emphasizes that a good Scout camper is not only proficient in the skills of Scoutcraft but also practices the principles of Scouting expressed in the Scout Oath and Law and in the tradition of the Good Tum. Particular atten- 1 tion is paid to cheerful service as J , an essential to a happy camping I experience. True brotherhood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scouting. It is a evice used in the camp- 1 ing program of the Boy Scouts o America. It has its roots in the troop and . . post that goes camping. It gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the .. · ~~ int9 ·a local counc · gro~p . ~ , a~gc. · ecof The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather th an · qf the mass. I t is natural that the program and setting of Scout camping should lead to the formation of campers honor societies. I n the early years of Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow iii _ its early- expan-- sion years was due in large · measure to t he democratic basis for the selection of candidates; the recognition of the Scout unit; the camping requirement; a practical plan for service to o • ng in which e promotion and mprovement of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central i ea; colorf 1 c remonies; a well-defined plan of organization; literature-covering ceremonies and administration-th t could be easily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorful interpretation of the Scout Oath and Law; the Good Turn and the spiritual "qualities of Scouting. 'Tile r er ot the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-doors rather an the indoors. It was born on n island wilderness. It needs the sun a nd t he rain, the woods and the plains, the waters and the rli s y. or o of Iffe! n the open comes a precious ingredient whic our country and any country needs · if it is to survive- self-reliance that . makes men strong in any time of 1 stress. 21 KIA KIMA OGETTO 'KIA.

Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as an essential to a happy camping experience. True brotherhood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scouting. It is a device used in the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America. It has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. It gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the Order into a local council group known as a lodge. The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is natural that the program and setting of Scout camping should lead to the formation of campers honor societies. In the early years of Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow in its early expansion years was due in large measure to the democratic basis for the selection of candidates; the recognition of the Scout unit; the camping requirement; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which the promotion and improvement of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central idea; colorful ceremonies; a well-defined plan of organization; literature-covering ceremonies and administration-thal could be easily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorful interpretation of the Seoul Oath and Law; the Good Turn and the spiritual "qualities of Scouting. TI1e Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-doors rather than the indoors. It was born on an island wilderness. It needs the sun and the rain, the woods and the plains, the waters an(l the s.larlit sky. For out of life in the open comes a precious ingredient which our country and any country needs if it is to survive-self-reliance that makes men strong in any time of stress. c :HICKASAH LODGE # 406 WISHING TO HELP IMPROVE THE SUMMER CAMPING PROGRAM AT KIA KIMA Scour RESERVATION WILL EMPLOY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS TO JOIN THE KIA KIMA STAFF AS ORDER OF THE ARROW CAMP CHIEF.

CHICICASAH The Order o( the Arrow emphasizes that a good Scout camper is not only proficient in the skills of Scoutcraft but also practices the principles of Scouting expressed in the Scout Oath and Law and in the tradition of the Good Turn. Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as an essential to a happy camping experience. True brotherhood exists among those who exhibit these traits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scouting. It is a device used in the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America. It has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. It gathers those designated by troops or posts as members of the Order into a local council group known as a lodge. LODGE The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is natural that the program and setting of Scout camping should lead to the formation of campers honor societies. In the early years of Scouting in America many such organizations were formed. The success of the Order of the Arrow in its early expansion years was due in large measure to the democratic basis for the selection of candidates; the recognition of the Scout unit; the camping requirement; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which the promotion and improvement of camping, beginning in a boy's own unit, were the central idea; colorful ceremonies; a well-defined plan of organization; literature-covering ceremonies and administration-thal could be easily adapted to local councils; the practical and colorful interpretation of the Seoul Oath and Law; the Good Turn and the spiritual "qualities of Scouting. TI1e Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-doors rather than the indoors. It was born on an island wilderness. It needs the sun and the rain, the woods and the plains, the waters an(l the s.larlit sky. For out of life in the open comes a precious ingredient which our country and any country needs if it is to survive-self-reliance that makes men strong in any time of stress. c:HICKASAH LODGE # 406 WISHING TO HELP IMPROVE THE SUMMER CAMPING PROGRAM AT KIA KIMA Scour RESERVATION WILL EMPLOY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS TO JOIN THE KIA KIMA STAFF AS ORDER OF THE ARROW CAMP CHIEF.

Refreshments �Location And Story Of Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation is located near Hardy, Arkansas deep in the Ozark Mountains. Dedicated in 1964, the Reservation consists of two separate camps - Camp Osage, the main camp, and Camp Cherokee, the outpost camp. Between the two camps a Scout has over 860 acres to explore, dotted with mountains, pastures and a natural stream river and also a 40 acre man made lake. Camp Osage consists of 12 camp sites, a dining hall for meals, health lodge and main administrative building which houses the main camp's primary facilities. The beautiful South Fork of the Spring River, (subject of a recent National Geographic article) flows through the middle of the camp, giving each Scout the opportunity of boating or white-water canoeing. Camp Cherokee, our outpost camp, consists of I 0 camp sites located on the banks of the beautiful 40 acre lake. Scouts prepare their own meals. The Patrol Method is the mode of operation at Cherokee. Trading Post facilities, equipped with snacks, handicraft items, and Scout equipment are available at both camps. Merit Badge and Skill Award instruction is offered by qualified counselors, in over 40 Scout related activity and advancement subjects. Scouts will be given more opportunity at actual rank advancement during a week at summer camp than the rest of the year combined. The water offers every type of aquatic activity, (boating, canoeing, swimming, and fishing). The land is a paradise for small game; opossums, deer, coons, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and birds of all types (and yes, skunks) can be found in abundance. There is most every type of foliage and tree native to the area found on the Reservation. �1979 CAMP SCHEDULE June I 0 - 16 ..............................
