Reservation Director Dear Fellow Camp Staff Members: Congratulations on your selection to the Kia Kima camp staff. Welcome to the team! Your qualifications indicate that you have the potential to fulfill the high expectations which accompany this job. The history of our camp reflects a strong 100 year tradition of a loyal and dedicated staff, and at the same time, we as a staff are constantly seeking to improve our level of performance. Much of this improvement lies in your hands. This staff manual was prepared to help you become better acquainted with your job before you arrive at camp. It attempts to clarify your staff life, rules and regulations required of the staff, and the overall camp, but more importantly it seeks to explain the relationships and responsibilities you will hold in your part of the Summer Camp Program. As you read through the pages of the staff manual, note that each of the areas of staff is vitally important to your success as a staff member and to the entire staff. By approaching your job with an understanding of total job responsibility and the right attitude, you will be an outstanding camp staff member for the Chickasaw Council, and the entire camp will succeed. You have an outstanding opportunity this summer to affect the lives of others. The good times you will have, the countless friends you will make, and the numerous duties you will perform will provide you with one of the most enjoyable experiences you will ever have. Good luck and I look forward to working with you as we begin the next year of Scout camping. Yours in Scouting, Jeremy Palazolo Reservation Director Chickasaw Council, BSA 3 Kia Kima Staff Manual �A Message from the Program Directors Kia Kima Staph, Congratulations! You are about to have one of the best summers of your life working as a Kia Kima Staff member. The memories and friendships you make will make you want to keep coming back to the Ozarks for several more summers. Kia Kima is so much more than 800 acres of land west of Hardy. It’s the people who make Kia Kima. We are the spirit that stays alive and gets passed on to all the scouts we encounter. We have the amazing opportunity to leave an impression on people’s lives forever. An entire summer of hard work is more than worth it to see a single smile. That smile comes from a joy that will last a lifetime. This summer will be the 100th year in Kia Kima history! It’s certainly changed over the years and there are some exciting new developments in store for the Reservation so we can keep on improving and delivering the best experience possible. During our summers here, we’ve personally already seen many different changes including new structures, program areas, and of course the Dining Hall! Hopefully you’ll also stick around to see even more changes and help us keep on improving camp. This year we’re also looking forward to a strong partnership with the Kia Kima Alumni Association and the Old Kia Kima Preservation Association as we all celebrate the Centennial year of this amazing place. Running the best summer camp in the world isn’t an easy task. There will be a lot of work and sweat, but at the end of the day it’ll all be worth it. We’re one team and our success depends on each of us doing everything we can to make sure our Scouts have an incredible experience. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to contact us. We’re looking forward to seeing you in the Ozarks! Let’s make it happen! Andrew Schrack Osage Program Director Alexandra Howard Cherokee Program Director 4 Kia Kima Staff Manual �The Purpose Aims of Scouting Scouting's aims are essentially to build character traits of self-reliance, self-discipline, selfconfidence, and self-respect; to foster citizenship; and to develop mental and physical fitness. Purpose of the Outdoor Program Scouting's program reaches its full effectiveness in the outdoors because: 1. The outdoors is the best place for learning outdoor skills. 2. The outdoors is a great place for learning something about living with others. 3. Scouts are truly challenged in the outdoors, thus developing leadership skills. 4. The outdoors provides high adventure. 5. The outdoors fosters an awareness of the natural world and the need to protect it. Purpose of Council Camp The purpose of the summer camp is to serve the council by providing facilities and leadership for training units in the outdoor program activities and Scout method of operation, as well as providing a fun summer camp experience for the countless Scouts we see each summer. The camp is the laboratory of Scouting, where the council camp leaders, the unit leaders, and the Scouts work together to learn, in developing better units, qualified Scouters, and skillful, self-reliant boys and young men. Here a boy learns outdoor skills, the patrol method, and leadership. The camp should also be a practical demonstration area for the best conversation practices. "No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way." –Lord Robert Baden-Powell Purpose of Camp Staff       To provide every camper with a wholesome and safe camping experience. To help campers develop a keen awareness and appreciation for the great outdoors and to motivate them to assume the responsibility for living in harmony with nature. To help fulfill the basic objectives of the Boy Scouts of America through personal examples. To demonstrate an enthusiastic Scouting spirit and good leadership. To exemplify the principles of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. To promote a spirit of genuine friendliness, understanding of others, and cooperation. 5 Kia Kima Staff Manual �Staff Life Room & Board While working on Kia Kima staff, your room and board are provided for as part of your employment. Unlike most summer camps, at Boy Scout camps the staff do not live with the campers. Instead at Kia Kima the staff live in separate Staff areas either in small cabins (based on availability) or canvas wall tents (the tents are larger than the tents the campers have). Electricity is provided in the tents and cabins while the cabins also have a ceiling fan. Cabins can sleep four to five staff members while the tents sleep two people. Mattresses are provided but staff need to bring their own sheets or sleeping bag (a full packing list is available at the end of this manual). In both camps there is also a Staff Center that has a lounge area, a kitchenette, showers and toilets, and laundry facilities. Specific rules regarding housing are covered in the Policies and Procedures section. Camp Osage Staff will eat in the Dining Hall while Camp Cherokee eats meals in troop campsites. Uniforms While at camp, all staff must be in proper uniform. Uniforming is one of the official Aims & Methods of Scouting as it delivers a professional image, creates a cohesive group, and promotes unity. As part of our staff image, all staff must be wearing “Class B” uniform at all times. Shirts must always be tucked in and close-toed/close-heeled shoes must be worn. Chacos are not allowed in uniform. Staff are issued two Staff shirts and one staff hat. If a hat is worn it must be a staff hat or a Kia Kima hat from the Trading Post. Neat, well-fitted uniforms help the camp staff present a professional image. Shirts should be neither too baggy nor too tight, and should always be tucked in. Shorts should reach at least fingertip length. When swimwear is worn for aquatics activities, it should not be overly revealing. Uniform pieces may be purchased from the Scout Shop, or used pieces may be found on eBay (however be sure you are buying the correct uniform). Class B Uniform •Boy Scout: Green Boy Scout shorts/pants, green Boy Scout socks, a Scouting belt or a brown leather belt, and a Scouting t-shirt 6 Kia Kima Staff Manual �•Venturing: Gray Venturing shorts/pants, grey Venturing socks, a Scouting belt or a brown leather belt, and a Scouting t-shirt •Sea Scout: Navy Blue Dickies brand shorts or pants, black socks, official Sea Scout belt, and a Scouting t-shirt Class A Uniform The Class A uniform is the same as Class B, but with the Class A shirt (Field Uniform) instead of a t-shirt. Neckerchiefs are optional. The green Venturing shirt may be worn with either grey Venturing shorts/pants or green Boy Scout shorts/pants. The tan Boy Scout shirt may be worn only with green Boy Scout shorts/pants. Class A uniform for Sea Scouts consists of navy blue shorts/pants worn with a dark navy blue shirt similar to Dickies No.1574 or Dickies No.FS574, displaying a Sea Scout pocket strip. Patches must be attached in the proper places and should not be falling off. The minimum patches (for someone with no Scouting background) are the Chickasaw Council shoulder patch on the left sleeve, the American Flag patch on the right sleeve, and the World Crest patch centered above the left pocket. Time Off During the summer you will have opportunities to leave the Reservation and in general relax from working. Staff are generally given one night off per week (however this is not guaranteed) and also time off on the weekends. Whenever work crews are finished on Saturday (generally around lunch time) the Staff are dismissed and required to report back at 11am on Sunday. In town there are plenty of restaurants, a movie theater, a bowling alley, stores, and other things to entertain yourself. There is also a 24 hour Walmart to pick up any personal supplies you need. If you wish to use the Waterfront, Range, or any other program areas on your time off, that is entirely dependent on the approval and supervision of those Area Directors. Specific policies regarding Time Off can be found in the Policies and Procedures section Sick Days If you get sick while at camp, let your Area Director or Program Director know and go see the Health Officer! Your number one priority is getting better. Your Area Director and Program Director will take care of making sure your sessions are covered which is why it is very important to have detailed lesson plans! On camp we have a Health Lodge that is staffed 24 hours a day by the Health Officer who is at minimum a registered EMT. In town there are several clinics and an ER that can also help you if the Health Officer decides you need more attention. If you have missed program because of illness, please check with your Program Director before taking a night off as we will need you back in the program. Camp Organization Within Kia Kima Scout Reservation there are two camps, Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee, and also one high adventure base, the Ozark Venture Base (OVB). Both camps run a very similar program with the main difference being the food service and the size of the camps. Within each camp the staff are split into Program Areas such as the Waterfront or Nature Lodge. Each area is headed by an Area Director 7 Kia Kima Staff Manual �who reports to the Program Director of the camp. For the all of the program areas in Osage there are similar but smaller areas in Cherokee. For example, Osage Scoutcraft normally consists of six to seven staff while Cherokee Scoutcraft is only four. The Ozark Venture Base primarily instructs high adventure skills and treks outside of the merit badge program. OVB is also split into Program Areas such as COPE or OUT. Both camps also have several support staff members who work outside of the program. This includes the commissioners, Administration staff, Trading Post, and food service. Chain of Command One of the fundamental principles of staff organization is the chain of leadership. Whatever role you play at camp, you are in a position of leadership. When a question or problem exceeds your area of leadership, that is, if you need help dealing with something, always look to the next level of leadership. For instance, if you encounter a problem in your program area as a Nature Lodge staff member, always first go to the Nature Lodge director, who if necessary will go to the Program Director, and so on. Unless your specific problem involves your area director, you should never bypass them to go to the PD or even the Camp Director. Paying attention to this chain of leadership helps ensure that camp runs smoothly and that problems and questions reach the proper solution. Reservation Director Camp Director Program Director Area Director Instructor Program Instruction Your job as an instructor is to help the scouts earn the requirements for their badges in a fun, creative, and informative manner, so that they earn the merit badge and have a blast doing so. The primary method we use to do this is the EDGE method. This stands for Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable. This method will be discussed in depth and demonstrated at staff training weekend and camp. Each instructor will learn how to use this method so that they will be able to communicate the material in a clear and efficient manner. It is also very important to create detailed lesson plans for your sessions. If you get sick or someone else needs to take over your session, it will allow them to easily pick up where you left off. It also makes you better organized and have a more coherent lesson. Flag, Campfires, Scout Spirit Your positions on staff include more than just instructing merit badges. As a full time staff member, you are expected to run a full program. We provide the campers with an entire experience when they come to Kia Kima. We start and end every day with flag, where we will gather as a unified staff to raise or lower the flag and perform a staff report and song. This gathering serves as an opportunity to show the Scouts true scouting spirit at its finest intertwined with the tradition of honoring our country. We find another chance to show the scouts our enthusiasm for scouting at the beginning and ending of every 8 Kia Kima Staff Manual �week with opening and closing campfire. Campfires are typically a compilation of skits, songs, and jokes brought together at the beginning of the summer. Since we are providing a full experience for the campers, it is absolutely mandatory that every staff member attends these events and participates in the activities that accompany each gathering. The most important part is to just have fun with the campers. Remember: none of us can sing, but we all sing loudly! Twilight Activities At camp the fun doesn’t stop after sessions end as we also have activities that occur right after dinner. This is something that Kia Kima is known for and helps set us apart from othe camps. These activities usually include Open WaterFront, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Nature, Climbing, and Range just to name a few. This means we open up our areas and offer some if not all of our resources to the Scouts to let them enjoy themselves and reach a deeper understanding of their areas of interest, whether that is allowing them to pet a snake, go down the slide, or shoot a shotgun, we give them these opportunities to further explore their interest in things they like or find that they have new interests that they have never encountered before. At camp we will have a schedule of what Twilight Activities are open on each day. Even if your program area is not open, every staffer will be assigned to help another area (unless it is your night off) as some activities (such as Free Shoot or Open WaterFront) require more than their normal staff. Policies & Procedures Administration Building - The Administration Building is principally for the use of leaders and the camp's directors; therefore, staff members should not loiter there and should only visit for specific reasons such as meetings, phone calls, and restricted Internet usage. Alcohol, Drugs, and Firearms - The use, possession, or sale of alcoholic beverages, or of non-prescribed or illegal drugs is not a part of camp staff life and is strictly prohibited on Scout reservations. If you violate this rule or the state and local laws regarding alcoholic beverages and other illegal drugs, you can and will be immediately dismissed by the council, and the council will support prosecution under the laws of Arkansas and adjoining states. Firearms of any kind, including fireworks, BB guns, pellet guns, air rifles, and paintball guns are not permitted. Kia Kima provides a quality Rifle and Shotgun Range; if you are interested in Firearms, feel free to visit the range during your time off under supervision of the Shooting Sports Director. There is no gray area regarding Alcohol, Drugs, or Firearms. Automobiles - All staff members under the age of 18 must follow their parents' specific instructions in order to drive their own cars and written permission to ride in the cars of designated staff members. When leaving the reservation it is understood that staff members will ride only with those drivers indicated by their parents. Youth protection policies dictate that those under 18 should not ride alone with adult staff members. For the most part, automobiles are not needed at summer camp and should be left in the parking lots during the week. Vehicles left parked in the staff area during the week can and will lead to suspension of driving privileges at camp. A speed limit of 15 MPH must be observed at 9 Kia Kima Staff Manual �all times. If you choose to use your vehicle on camp or for work related purposes, you are doing so as a donation. Kia Kima will not reimburse your gas or any damages to your vehicle. Flag Ceremonies - Here again, the staff sets the example of respect and attention. We all show the flag the respect it deserves; there will be no goofing off while at attention. Attendance at all flag ceremonies is mandatory for all staff members, unless excused by the Program Director. Living Quarters - Adequate living quarters are provided for each staff member. They will be kept in a clean, livable, pest-free condition. You will be issued a bed and mattress and should supply all remaining items yourself. You will be responsible for damage to or defacement of living quarters. The Camp Director and your Program Director will handle check-in and check-out procedures. Please note the following conditions:          After 10:00PM each night, all lights and audible (without headphones) music will be turned off, and quiet will be observed. Male staffers are not allowed in female quarters, and female staffers are not allowed in male quarters, with no exceptions. Staff are allowed Six electrical appliances per Cabin (3 per Tent). These items may include lamps, radios, clocks, fans, and a small refrigerator. All other appliances must be approved by the Camp Director. Televisions are not allowed in staff cabins/tents. There should be no large or bright signs outside cabins/tents. Any change in housing arrangements must be approved by your Program and Camp Director. No campers are allowed in the staff area or staff center, and use discretion when bringing your parents into the area. No flames are allowed in or near staff area. It is imperative that each staff member stay out of others' personal belongings and quarters without permission. In keeping with Youth Protection policies of BSA, no male staff member under the age of 18 may live with a male staff member aged 18 or older. In keeping with Youth Protection policies of Venturing, BSA, no female staff member under the age of 21 may live with a female staff member aged 21 or older. Manners, Language, Grooming, & Personal Appearance - The manners and language of the staff should be impeccable at all times both on camp and in town. Hair is to be kept neat, trimmed, and naturally colored. Profanity, racist or sexist language, and rudeness are unacceptable; a Scout is courteous. In all cases, your personal appearance is completely under the authority of your Camp Director and Program Director. Meals - Eating properly is essential in performing your duties with a high degree of efficiency, so staff members must be present at all meals. Also, the staff should appear on time and properly dressed, as again, we set the example in this highly visible location. Proper table manners, food distribution, and courtesy are marks of a mature staff and are expected always. Cheers and songs should be after the meal under the direction of the Program Director in the dining hall at Camp Osage. Staff members in 10 Kia Kima Staff Manual �Cherokee found to be skipping meals with their assigned troops will be dealt with by the Program Director. Punctuality - Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. All staff members are expected to be punctual to any program related to camp. There is no reason for lateness, and if you are sick, report to the doctor or Health Officer immediately. Religious Services - Remember the twelfth point of the Scout Law. Staff members are strongly urged to attend Vespers services each week and to say grace before meals. Rules for Campers - Just as you are careful to remind Scouts of the camp rules, remember that they apply to you also. It's all part of that setting the example thing. These include, but are not limited to, using the buddy system, drinking plenty of cool water rather than sugary drinks, no throwing rocks, and staying on trails and the side on camp roads. Salary & Benefits - Each staff member will receive a weekly salary, payable semi-monthly on the 1st and 15th of each month. It is determined based on his or her experience, age, and position. In addition, room, board, and insurance are provided by the council. As is stated in the staff letter of agreement, the term of your employment depends on weekly attendance levels and is of a temporary, at-will nature. Your salary is a private matter, and you should not compare, discuss, or wager it with other staff members. If you need to discuss it, do so only with the Camp Director. The council will withhold Medicare, Social Security, and income tax as required by law and indicated on your withholding form. Staff Center - The staff facility is to be maintained according to a daily cleaning schedule, for both the bathroom and the meeting room portions. When using the laundry equipment, staff members should be careful not to disturb others clothes and should keep the area clean. No bleach may be used in washing machines. Staff members are expected to live up to their assignments and to respect the fact that the facility is for the whole staff when they use it. Schedules will be posted for the bathroom in keeping with Youth Protection guidelines, assigning specific times for male and female and youth and adult use. Technology - Kia Kima discourages campers from overuse of electronic devices such as mp3 players and cell phones at camp, as they distract from the outdoor experience. Staff members need to balance the desire to stay connected to the outside world with the need to set a good example for campers. Personal cell phones, computers, and radios should not be used during program time or in front of campers. There are a few computers with Internet available for staff use in the back room of the Admin. Staff is to yield to leaders and area directors on computer and telephone use. Non-program Internet use is for personal time only (nights off, Saturday afternoons); these computers are primarily for official camp business and leader use. The Administration staff has full rights to suspend non-business access to the internet based on bandwidth speed and urgency in order to efficiently fulfill their jobs. 11 Kia Kima Staff Manual �Time-off and Leaving Camp - During the period of employment, the staff member's full time is at the disposal of the Camp Director. One night off per week will be scheduled for each camp staff member, but is not guaranteed. During the staff member's night off, he may leave camp only after his Area Director verifies that program responsibilities have been completed." Nights off begin after both dinner and assembly are finished. Nights off end at midnight. After the work is completely finished on Saturdays, the remaining afternoon and evening will be given off, at the discretion of the Camp Director. In all cases, the entire staff must be back on the reservation by 11:00am Sunday for a full staff meeting, unless another time is assigned by the Reservation Director. At all other times, staff members are not to leave the reservation without the consent of their Camp Director. Time-off privileges are under the complete authority of the Program Directors and Camp Directors and may be suspended as necessary. Staff members should remember that they represent our camps, the Chickasaw Council, and Scouting when they leave the property and should conduct themselves in keeping with the Scout Oath and Law. All staff members must sign out when leaving camp property and sign back in when returning. Tobacco Products - The use of tobacco by those staff members under age 18 is prohibited in accordance with Arkansas state law and thus serves as grounds for dismissal. This ban includes smoking, dipping, and chewing. Adult staff members, 18 years or older, who must use tobacco may do so only in smoking areas designated by the Program or Camp Directors. Smoking is not permitted in or around buildings at camp or in tents. The use of smokeless tobacco around campers and leaders is strictly prohibited. What Not to Bring There is no place in camp staff life for drugs, alcohol, dangerous toys and martial arts gear, firearms, and fireworks. Some Other Helpful Rules  If you don’t know, or aren’t sure, ask.  If it’s not yours, don’t “borrow,” move, or otherwise mess with it.  Sometimes the most important rules are the unwritten ones, so always listen.  Ignorance is not an excuse. The Rewards Order of the Arrow In 1915 the Order of the Arrow was founded at Camp Treasure Island near Philadelphia as a way to recognize Scouts who adhere to the Scout Oath and Law and give service of themselves. The Order of the Arrow’s relationship with Kia Kima began in 1948 and the current lodge, Ahoalan-Nachpikin was formed in 1995 and continues to serve Kia Kima with numerous service projects every year. 12 Kia Kima Staff Manual �The Order of the Arrow is an integral part of the summer camp program and many of our Lodge’s officers serve on staff. There are four main activities at camp that staff can become involved in: Unit Elections, Brotherhood Conversion, Call Out, and Summer Fellowship. The Order of the Arrow’s activities at Kia Kima are coordinated by the Camp Chief, an experienced officer who has been designated by the Lodge Chief. You will have the opportunity to volunteer for these activities during Staff Week if you wish to become more involved at camp. Kia Kima Alumni Association The Kia Kima Alumni Association is an independent non-profit organization, founded by current and former members of staff and friends of the camp in late 2014, with a vision to support camp and community and to strengthen the connections between generations of staff and campers. The mission of the Kia Kima Alumni Association is to reconnect alumni with Kia Kima; to support Kia Kima Scout Reservation and its staff; and to promote the Scouting program. The KKAA is a great way to keep in touch with camp and other staff members during the off-season and a great way to give back to camp. The Association hosts several events throughout the year ranging from fundraisers to reunions to service weekends at Kia Kima. Membership encompasses a vast range of generations and professions and therefore this provides a great networking opportunity for employment beyond camp. Membership dues are discounted for current staff members at Kia Kima. There will be an opportunity to place membership during the summer and there will also be KKAA merchandise available to members in the Trading Post. For more information visit www.kiakimaalumni.org Professional Development One of our goals for our camp staff is that you finish the summer having become a better professional. Oftentimes some staff members feel that they cannot return to camp because they need to find internships, however there are many things about working for the Boy Scouts that reflect highly on you for future employers. Kia Kima has a lot of name recognition in the Mid-South and can be a great way to get your foot in the door when a Kia Kima alumnus sees it on your résumé. You will make a lot of great connections at camp that help with networking and these can also extend into the KKAA. If you ever need Letters of Recommendation for jobs, scholarships, fellowships, or even for Eagle Scout, please feel free to ask one of the Directors as we are always happy to help. 13 Kia Kima Staff Manual �Kia Kima History and Traditions Kia Kima's history dates to 1916, when the first Scouts from the newly formed Chickasaw Council camped on the South Fork River in present-day Cherokee Village. In fact, Kia Kima is the oldest Boy Scout camp west of the Mississippi River. After its founding, the camp grew rapidly, and Scouts rode the train from Memphis to Hardy each weekend and hiked the remaining distance to reach the “kamp”, as it was called. Once they arrived, they had to ring a gong (which now resides in Cherokee) and they would be rowed across the river into camp. Natural stone buildings mark the original site, and Scouts were assigned to stone lodges where they spent their days playing field sports, on the tennis courts, at the waterfront on the river, and in countless other activities. Also, the Chickasah Lodge held its first Order of the Arrow ceremonies at the old camp. Kia Kima remained at this smaller site until 1964, when Cherokee Village developer John Cooper offered the council a trade for an 860-acre site upriver outside his planned development. The original site of Old Kia Kima is listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places. Kia Kima grew into its new property quickly, and the next year a second camp opened on its own lake across the river from the "Main Kamp," the original name for Camp Osage. The new camp, Camp Cherokee, provided an outpost setting, while Main Kamp troops ate together in the dining hall. Since then, thousands of Scouts have visited Kia Kima, and thousands more have camped at the original site. The past several years have seen some big improvements to Kia Kima, including a new and Tech Center, the addition of several new waterfront activities, the addition of several high adventure programs in our Ozark Venture Base, new Showerhouses, and a Dining Hall! The staff has played a special part in this history, and today it's up to you to continue the tradition. Like those before you, you have chosen to serve our great camp, and this opportunity is one of great pride. The staff has a strong tradition of excellence to maintain, and you can play a part in singing proudly traditional songs like these: The Kia Kima Alma Mater It’s a Long Way to Kia Kima High above the South Fork waters, Reared against the sky, Proudly stands our dear old camp As the years go by. Onward, ever, be our watchwordConquer and prevail Here's to thee, old Kia Kima B.S.A. All Hail. Written at Kia Kima, Summer of 1926 It's a long way to Kia Kima, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Kia Kima, Where the husky Boy Scouts go. Good-bye, dear old Memphis; Farewell, old Court Square. It's a long, long way to Kia Kima, But my heart's right there. Kia Kima Grace As we soar on Eagle’s wings We thank the Lord for these great things: For nourishing food, for our physical strength; For our cheerful trails, and the South Fork banks. 14 Kia Kima Staff Manual �Appendix Job Descriptions The following are job descriptions for each position on the camp staff, included so that you will know your place on the staff and realize the function of each staff member.

Much of this improvement lies in your hands. This staff manual was prepared to help you become better acquainted with your job before you arrive at camp. It attempts to clarify your staff life, rules and regulations required of the staff, and the overall camp, but more importantly it seeks to explain the relationships and responsibilities you will hold in your part of the Summer Camp Program. As you read through the pages of the staff manual, note that each of the areas of staff is vitally important to your success as a staff member and to the entire staff. By approaching your job with an understanding of total job responsibility and the right attitude, you will be an outstanding camp staff member for the Chickasaw Council, and the entire camp will succeed. You have an outstanding opportunity this summer to affect the lives of others. The good times you will have, the countless friends you will make, and the numerous duties you will perform will provide you with one of the most enjoyable experiences you will ever have.

You are about to have one of the best summers of your life working as a Kia Kima Staff member. The memories and friendships you make will make you want to keep coming back to the Ozarks for several more summers. Kia Kima is so much more than 800 acres of land west of Hardy. It’s the people who make Kia Kima. We are the spirit that stays alive and gets passed on to all the scouts we encounter. We have the amazing opportunity to leave an impression on people’s lives forever. An entire summer of hard work is more than worth it to see a single smile. That smile comes from a joy that will last a lifetime. This summer will be the 100th year in Kia Kima history! It’s certainly changed over the years and there are some exciting new developments in store for the Reservation so we can keep on improving and delivering the best experience possible. During our summers here, we’ve personally already seen many different changes including new structures, program areas, and of course the Dining Hall! Hopefully you’ll also stick around to see even more changes and help us keep on improving camp. This year we’re also looking forward to a strong partnership with the Kia Kima Alumni Association and the Old Kia Kima Preservation Association as we all celebrate the Centennial year of this amazing place. Running the best summer camp in the world isn’t an easy task. There will be a lot of work and sweat, but at the end of the day it’ll all be worth it. We’re one team and our success depends on each of us doing everything we can to make sure our Scouts have an incredible experience. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to contact us. We’re looking forward to seeing you in the Ozarks! Let’s make it happen! Andrew Schrack Alexandra Howard Osage Program Director Cherokee Program Director Kia Kima Staff Manual 5 The Purpose Aims of Scouting Scouting's aims are essentially to build character traits of self-reliance, self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-respect; to foster citizenship; and to develop mental and physical fitness. Purpose of the Outdoor Program Scouting's program reaches its full effectiveness in the outdoors because: 1. The outdoors is the best place for learning outdoor skills. 2. The outdoors is a great place for learning something about living with others. 3. Scouts are truly challenged in the outdoors, thus developing leadership skills. 4. The outdoors provides high adventure. 5. The outdoors fosters an awareness of the natural world and the need to protect it. Purpose of Council Camp The purpose of the summer camp is to serve the council by providing facilities and leadership for training units in the outdoor program activities and Scout method of operation, as well as providing a fun summer camp experience for the countless Scouts we see each summer. The camp is the laboratory of Scouting, where the council camp leaders, the unit leaders, and the Scouts work together to learn, in developing better units, qualified Scouters, and skillful, self-reliant boys and young men. Here a boy learns outdoor skills, the patrol method, and leadership. The camp should also be a practical demonstration area for the best conversation practices. "No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way." –Lord Robert Baden-Powell Purpose of Camp Staff  To provide every camper with a wholesome and safe camping experience.  To help campers develop a keen awareness and appreciation for the great outdoors and to motivate them to assume the responsibility for living in harmony with nature.  To help fulfill the basic objectives of the Boy Scouts of America through personal examples.  To demonstrate an enthusiastic Scouting spirit and good leadership.  To exemplify the principles of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.  To promote a spirit of genuine friendliness, understanding of others, and cooperation. Kia Kima Staff Manual 6 Staff Life Room & Board While working on Kia Kima staff, your room and board are provided for as part of your employment. Unlike most summer camps, at Boy Scout camps the staff do not live with the campers. Instead at Kia Kima the staff live in separate Staff areas either in small cabins (based on availability) or canvas wall tents (the tents are larger than the tents the campers have). Electricity is provided in the tents and cabins while the cabins also have a ceiling fan. Cabins can sleep four to five staff members while the tents sleep two people. Mattresses are provided but staff need to bring their own sheets or sleeping bag (a full packing list is available at the end of this manual). In both camps there is also a Staff Center that has a lounge area, a kitchenette, showers and toilets, and laundry facilities. Specific rules regarding housing are covered in the Policies and Procedures section. Camp Osage Staff will eat in the Dining Hall while Camp Cherokee eats meals in troop campsites. Uniforms While at camp, all staff must be in proper uniform. Uniforming is one of the official Aims & Methods of Scouting as it delivers a professional image, creates a cohesive group, and promotes unity. As part of our staff image, all staff must be wearing “Class B” uniform at all times. Shirts must always be tucked in and close-toed/close-heeled shoes must be worn. Chacos are not allowed in uniform. Staff are issued two Staff shirts and one staff hat. If a hat is worn it must be a staff hat or a Kia Kima hat from the Trading Post. Neat, well-fitted uniforms help the camp staff present a professional image. Shirts should be neither too baggy nor too tight, and should always be tucked in. Shorts should reach at least fingertip length. When swimwear is worn for aquatics activities, it should not be overly revealing. Uniform pieces may be purchased from the Scout Shop, or used pieces may be found on eBay (however be sure you are buying the correct uniform). Class B Uniform •Boy Scout: Green Boy Scout shorts/pants, green Boy Scout socks, a Scouting belt or a brown leather belt, and a Scouting t-shirt Kia Kima Staff Manual 7 •Venturing: Gray Venturing shorts/pants, grey Venturing socks, a Scouting belt or a brown leather belt, and a Scouting t-shirt •Sea Scout: Navy Blue Dickies brand shorts or pants, black socks, official Sea Scout belt, and a Scouting t-shirt Class A Uniform The Class A uniform is the same as Class B, but with the Class A shirt (Field Uniform) instead of a t-shirt. Neckerchiefs are optional. The green Venturing shirt may be worn with either grey Venturing shorts/pants or green Boy Scout shorts/pants. The tan Boy Scout shirt may be worn only with green Boy Scout shorts/pants. Class A uniform for Sea Scouts consists of navy blue shorts/pants worn with a dark navy blue shirt similar to Dickies No.1574 or Dickies No.FS574, displaying a Sea Scout pocket strip. Patches must be attached in the proper places and should not be falling off. The minimum patches (for someone with no Scouting background) are the Chickasaw Council shoulder patch on the left sleeve, the American Flag patch on the right sleeve, and the World Crest patch centered above the left pocket. Time Off During the summer you will have opportunities to leave the Reservation and in general relax from working. Staff are generally given one night off per week (however this is not guaranteed) and also time off on the weekends. Whenever work crews are finished on Saturday (generally around lunch time) the Staff are dismissed and required to report back at 11am on Sunday. In town there are plenty of restaurants, a movie theater, a bowling alley, stores, and other things to entertain yourself. There is also a 24 hour Walmart to pick up any personal supplies you need. If you wish to use the Waterfront, Range, or any other program areas on your time off, that is entirely dependent on the approval and supervision of those Area Directors. Specific policies regarding Time Off can be found in the Policies and Procedures section Sick Days If you get sick while at camp, let your Area Director or Program Director know and go see the Health Officer! Your number one priority is getting better. Your Area Director and Program Director will take care of making sure your sessions are covered which is why it is very important to have detailed lesson plans! On camp we have a Health Lodge that is staffed 24 hours a day by the Health Officer who is at minimum a registered EMT. In town there are several clinics and an ER that can also help you if the Health Officer decides you need more attention. If you have missed program because of illness, please check with your Program Director before taking a night off as we will need you back in the program. Camp Organization Within Kia Kima Scout Reservation there are two camps, Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee, and also one high adventure base, the Ozark Venture Base (OVB). Both camps run a very similar program with the main difference being the food service and the size of the camps. Within each camp the staff are split into Program Areas such as the Waterfront or Nature Lodge. Each area is headed by an Area Director Kia Kima Staff Manual 8 Reservation Director Camp Director Program Director Area Director Instructor who reports to the Program Director of the camp. For the all of the program areas in Osage there are similar but smaller areas in Cherokee. For example, Osage Scoutcraft normally consists of six to seven staff while Cherokee Scoutcraft is only four. The Ozark Venture Base primarily instructs high adventure skills and treks outside of the merit badge program. OVB is also split into Program Areas such as COPE or OUT. Both camps also have several support staff members who work outside of the program. This includes the commissioners, Administration staff, Trading Post, and food service. Chain of Command One of the fundamental principles of staff organization is the chain of leadership. Whatever role you play at camp, you are in a position of leadership. When a question or problem exceeds your area of leadership, that is, if you need help dealing with something, always look to the next level of leadership. For instance, if you encounter a problem in your program area as a Nature Lodge staff member, always first go to the Nature Lodge director, who if necessary will go to the Program Director, and so on. Unless your specific problem involves your area director, you should never bypass them to go to the PD or even the Camp Director. Paying attention to this chain of leadership helps ensure that camp runs smoothly and that problems and questions reach the proper solution. Program Instruction Your job as an instructor is to help the scouts earn the requirements for their badges in a fun, creative, and informative manner, so that they earn the merit badge and have a blast doing so. The primary method we use to do this is the EDGE method. This stands for Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable. This method will be discussed in depth and demonstrated at staff training weekend and camp. Each instructor will learn how to use this method so that they will be able to communicate the material in a clear and efficient manner. It is also very important to create detailed lesson plans for your sessions. If you get sick or someone else needs to take over your session, it will allow them to easily pick up where you left off. It also makes you better organized and have a more coherent lesson. Flag, Campfires, Scout Spirit Your positions on staff include more than just instructing merit badges. As a full time staff member, you are expected to run a full program. We provide the campers with an entire experience when they come to Kia Kima. We start and end every day with flag, where we will gather as a unified staff to raise or lower the flag and perform a staff report and song. This gathering serves as an opportunity to show the Scouts true scouting spirit at its finest intertwined with the tradition of honoring our country. We find another chance to show the scouts our enthusiasm for scouting at the beginning and ending of every Kia Kima Staff Manual 9 week with opening and closing campfire. Campfires are typically a compilation of skits, songs, and jokes brought together at the beginning of the summer. Since we are providing a full experience for the campers, it is absolutely mandatory that every staff member attends these events and participates in the activities that accompany each gathering. The most important part is to just have fun with the campers. Remember: none of us can sing, but we all sing loudly! Twilight Activities At camp the fun doesn’t stop after sessions end as we also have activities that occur right after dinner. This is something that Kia Kima is known for and helps set us apart from othe camps. These activities usually include Open WaterFront, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Nature, Climbing, and Range just to name a few. This means we open up our areas and offer some if not all of our resources to the Scouts to let them enjoy themselves and reach a deeper understanding of their areas of interest, whether that is allowing them to pet a snake, go down the slide, or shoot a shotgun, we give them these opportunities to further explore their interest in things they like or find that they have new interests that they have never encountered before. At camp we will have a schedule of what Twilight Activities are open on each day. Even if your program area is not open, every staffer will be assigned to help another area (unless it is your night off) as some activities (such as Free Shoot or Open WaterFront) require more than their normal staff. Policies & Procedures Administration Building - The Administration Building is principally for the use of leaders and the camp's directors; therefore, staff members should not loiter there and should only visit for specific reasons such as meetings, phone calls, and restricted Internet usage. Alcohol, Drugs, and Firearms - The use, possession, or sale of alcoholic beverages, or of non-prescribed or illegal drugs is not a part of camp staff life and is strictly prohibited on Scout reservations. If you violate this rule or the state and local laws regarding alcoholic beverages and other illegal drugs, you can and will be immediately dismissed by the council, and the council will support prosecution under the laws of Arkansas and adjoining states. Firearms of any kind, including fireworks, BB guns, pellet guns, air rifles, and paintball guns are not permitted. Kia Kima provides a quality Rifle and Shotgun Range; if you are interested in Firearms, feel free to visit the range during your time off under supervision of the Shooting Sports Director. There is no gray area regarding Alcohol, Drugs, or Firearms. Automobiles - All staff members under the age of 18 must follow their parents' specific instructions in order to drive their own cars and written permission to ride in the cars of designated staff members. When leaving the reservation it is understood that staff members will ride only with those drivers indicated by their parents. Youth protection policies dictate that those under 18 should not ride alone with adult staff members. For the most part, automobiles are not needed at summer camp and should be left in the parking lots during the week. Vehicles left parked in the staff area during the week can and will lead to suspension of driving privileges at camp. A speed limit of 15 MPH must be observed at Kia Kima Staff Manual 10 all times. If you choose to use your vehicle on camp or for work related purposes, you are doing so as a donation. Kia Kima will not reimburse your gas or any damages to your vehicle. Flag Ceremonies - Here again, the staff sets the example of respect and attention. We all show the flag the respect it deserves; there will be no goofing off while at attention. Attendance at all flag ceremonies is mandatory for all staff members, unless excused by the Program Director. Living Quarters - Adequate living quarters are provided for each staff member. They will be kept in a clean, livable, pest-free condition. You will be issued a bed and mattress and should supply all remaining items yourself. You will be responsible for damage to or defacement of living quarters. The Camp Director and your Program Director will handle check-in and check-out procedures. Please note the following conditions:  After 10:00PM each night, all lights and audible (without headphones) music will be turned off, and quiet will be observed.  Male staffers are not allowed in female quarters, and female staffers are not allowed in male quarters, with no exceptions.  Staff are allowed Six electrical appliances per Cabin (3 per Tent). These items may include lamps, radios, clocks, fans, and a small refrigerator. All other appliances must be approved by the Camp Director. Televisions are not allowed in staff cabins/tents.  There should be no large or bright signs outside cabins/tents.  Any change in housing arrangements must be approved by your Program and Camp Director.  No campers are allowed in the staff area or staff center, and use discretion when bringing your parents into the area.  No flames are allowed in or near staff area.  It is imperative that each staff member stay out of others' personal belongings and quarters without permission.  In keeping with Youth Protection policies of BSA, no male staff member under the age of 18 may live with a male staff member aged 18 or older. In keeping with Youth Protection policies of Venturing, BSA, no female staff member under the age of 21 may live with a female staff member aged 21 or older. Manners, Language, Grooming, & Personal Appearance - The manners and language of the staff should be impeccable at all times both on camp and in town. Hair is to be kept neat, trimmed, and naturally colored. Profanity, racist or sexist language, and rudeness are unacceptable; a Scout is courteous. In all cases, your personal appearance is completely under the authority of your Camp Director and Program Director. Meals - Eating properly is essential in performing your duties with a high degree of efficiency, so staff members must be present at all meals. Also, the staff should appear on time and properly dressed, as again, we set the example in this highly visible location. Proper table manners, food distribution, and courtesy are marks of a mature staff and are expected always. Cheers and songs should be after the meal under the direction of the Program Director in the dining hall at Camp Osage. Staff members in Kia Kima Staff Manual 11 Cherokee found to be skipping meals with their assigned troops will be dealt with by the Program Director. Punctuality - Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. All staff members are expected to be punctual to any program related to camp. There is no reason for lateness, and if you are sick, report to the doctor or Health Officer immediately. Religious Services - Remember the twelfth point of the Scout Law. Staff members are strongly urged to attend Vespers services each week and to say grace before meals. Rules for Campers - Just as you are careful to remind Scouts of the camp rules, remember that they apply to you also. It's all part of that setting the example thing. These include, but are not limited to, using the buddy system, drinking plenty of cool water rather than sugary drinks, no throwing rocks, and staying on trails and the side on camp roads. Salary & Benefits - Each staff member will receive a weekly salary, payable semi-monthly on the 1st and 15th of each month. It is determined based on his or her experience, age, and position. In addition, room, board, and insurance are provided by the council. As is stated in the staff letter of agreement, the term of your employment depends on weekly attendance levels and is of a temporary, at-will nature. Your salary is a private matter, and you should not compare, discuss, or wager it with other staff members. If you need to discuss it, do so only with the Camp Director. The council will withhold Medicare, Social Security, and income tax as required by law and indicated on your withholding form. Staff Center - The staff facility is to be maintained according to a daily cleaning schedule, for both the bathroom and the meeting room portions. When using the laundry equipment, staff members should be careful not to disturb others clothes and should keep the area clean. No bleach may be used in washing machines. Staff members are expected to live up to their assignments and to respect the fact that the facility is for the whole staff when they use it. Schedules will be posted for the bathroom in keeping with Youth Protection guidelines, assigning specific times for male and female and youth and adult use. Technology - Kia Kima discourages campers from overuse of electronic devices such as mp3 players and cell phones at camp, as they distract from the outdoor experience. Staff members need to balance the desire to stay connected to the outside world with the need to set a good example for campers. Personal cell phones, computers, and radios should not be used during program time or in front of campers. There are a few computers with Internet available for staff use in the back room of the Admin. Staff is to yield to leaders and area directors on computer and telephone use. Non-program Internet use is for personal time only (nights off, Saturday afternoons); these computers are primarily for official camp business and leader use. The Administration staff has full rights to suspend non-business access to the internet based on bandwidth speed and urgency in order to efficiently fulfill their jobs. Kia Kima Staff Manual 12 Time-off and Leaving Camp - During the period of employment, the staff member's full time is at the disposal of the Camp Director. One night off per week will be scheduled for each camp staff member, but is not guaranteed. During the staff member's night off, he may leave camp only after his Area Director verifies that program responsibilities have been completed." Nights off begin after both dinner and assembly are finished. Nights off end at midnight. After the work is completely finished on Saturdays, the remaining afternoon and evening will be given off, at the discretion of the Camp Director. In all cases, the entire staff must be back on the reservation by 11:00am Sunday for a full staff meeting, unless another time is assigned by the Reservation Director. At all other times, staff members are not to leave the reservation without the consent of their Camp Director. Time-off privileges are under the complete authority of the Program Directors and Camp Directors and may be suspended as necessary. Staff members should remember that they represent our camps, the Chickasaw Council, and Scouting when they leave the property and should conduct themselves in keeping with the Scout Oath and Law. All staff members must sign out when leaving camp property and sign back in when returning. Tobacco Products - The use of tobacco by those staff members under age 18 is prohibited in accordance with Arkansas state law and thus serves as grounds for dismissal. This ban includes smoking, dipping, and chewing. Adult staff members, 18 years or older, who must use tobacco may do so only in smoking areas designated by the Program or Camp Directors. Smoking is not permitted in or around buildings at camp or in tents. The use of smokeless tobacco around campers and leaders is strictly prohibited. What Not to Bring There is no place in camp staff life for drugs, alcohol, dangerous toys and martial arts gear, firearms, and fireworks. The Rewards Order of the Arrow In 1915 the Order of the Arrow was founded at Camp Treasure Island near Philadelphia as a way to recognize Scouts who adhere to the Scout Oath and Law and give service of themselves. The Order of the Arrow’s relationship with Kia Kima began in 1948 and the current lodge, Ahoalan-Nachpikin was formed in 1995 and continues to serve Kia Kima with numerous service projects every year. Some Other Helpful Rules  If you don’t know, or aren’t sure, ask.  If it’s not yours, don’t “borrow,” move, or otherwise mess with it.  Sometimes the most important rules are the unwritten ones, so always listen.  Ignorance is not an excuse. Kia Kima Staff Manual 13 The Order of the Arrow is an integral part of the summer camp program and many of our Lodge’s officers serve on staff. There are four main activities at camp that staff can become involved in: Unit Elections, Brotherhood Conversion, Call Out, and Summer Fellowship. The Order of the Arrow’s activities at Kia Kima are coordinated by the Camp Chief, an experienced officer who has been designated by the Lodge Chief. You will have the opportunity to volunteer for these activities during Staff Week if you wish to become more involved at camp. Kia Kima Alumni Association The Kia Kima Alumni Association is an independent non-profit organization, founded by current and former members of staff and friends of the camp in late 2014, with a vision to support camp and community and to strengthen the connections between generations of staff and campers. The mission of the Kia Kima Alumni Association is to reconnect alumni with Kia Kima; to support Kia Kima Scout Reservation and its staff; and to promote the Scouting program. The KKAA is a great way to keep in touch with camp and other staff members during the off-season and a great way to give back to camp. The Association hosts several events throughout the year ranging from fundraisers to reunions to service weekends at Kia Kima. Membership encompasses a vast range of generations and professions and therefore this provides a great networking opportunity for employment beyond camp. Membership dues are discounted for current staff members at Kia Kima. There will be an opportunity to place membership during the summer and there will also be KKAA merchandise available to members in the Trading Post. For more information visit www.kiakimaalumni.org Professional Development One of our goals for our camp staff is that you finish the summer having become a better professional. Oftentimes some staff members feel that they cannot return to camp because they need to find internships, however there are many things about working for the Boy Scouts that reflect highly on you for future employers. Kia Kima has a lot of name recognition in the Mid-South and can be a great way to get your foot in the door when a Kia Kima alumnus sees it on your résumé. You will make a lot of great connections at camp that help with networking and these can also extend into the KKAA. If you ever need Letters of Recommendation for jobs, scholarships, fellowships, or even for Eagle Scout, please feel free to ask one of the Directors as we are always happy to help. Kia Kima Staff Manual 14 Kia Kima History and Traditions Kia Kima's history dates to 1916, when the first Scouts from the newly formed Chickasaw Council camped on the South Fork River in present-day Cherokee Village. In fact, Kia Kima is the oldest Boy Scout camp west of the Mississippi River. After its founding, the camp grew rapidly, and Scouts rode the train from Memphis to Hardy each weekend and hiked the remaining distance to reach the “kamp”, as it was called. Once they arrived, they had to ring a gong (which now resides in Cherokee) and they would be rowed across the river into camp. Natural stone buildings mark the original site, and Scouts were assigned to stone lodges where they spent their days playing field sports, on the tennis courts, at the waterfront on the river, and in countless other activities. Also, the Chickasah Lodge held its first Order of the Arrow ceremonies at the old camp. Kia Kima remained at this smaller site until 1964, when Cherokee Village developer John Cooper offered the council a trade for an 860-acre site upriver outside his planned development. The original site of Old Kia Kima is listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places. Kia Kima grew into its new property quickly, and the next year a second camp opened on its own lake across the river from the "Main Kamp," the original name for Camp Osage. The new camp, Camp Cherokee, provided an outpost setting, while Main Kamp troops ate together in the dining hall. Since then, thousands of Scouts have visited Kia Kima, and thousands more have camped at the original site. The past several years have seen some big improvements to Kia Kima, including a new and Tech Center, the addition of several new waterfront activities, the addition of several high adventure programs in our Ozark Venture Base, new Showerhouses, and a Dining Hall! The staff has played a special part in this history, and today it's up to you to continue the tradition. Like those before you, you have chosen to serve our great camp, and this opportunity is one of great pride. The staff has a strong tradition of excellence to maintain, and you can play a part in singing proudly traditional songs like these: The Kia Kima Alma Mater High above the South Fork waters, Reared against the sky, Proudly stands our dear old camp As the years go by. Onward, ever, be our watchword- Conquer and prevail Here's to thee, old Kia Kima B.S.A. All Hail. Written at Kia Kima, Summer of 1926 It’s a Long Way to Kia Kima It's a long way to Kia Kima, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Kia Kima, Where the husky Boy Scouts go. Good-bye, dear old Memphis; Farewell, old Court Square. It's a long, long way to Kia Kima, But my heart's right there. Kia Kima Grace As we soar on Eagle’s wings We thank the Lord for these great things: For nourishing food, for our physical strength; For our cheerful trails, and the South Fork banks.
