This committee feels that the Institutions and their leaders have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated on their fine accomplishment s. We are pleased to report that Chickasaw Council Scouts and Explorers had 19,696 days of Camping in 1958 as compared to 16,786 in 1957.

This is no easy task, Tiiii demands for the support of character-b uilding and charity agencies in Memphis, as elsewhere, are exceedingly great, and if Scouting is to escape becoming a ward of the go«ernment, its progr.am must be handled as efficient!Your Finance Committee is endeavort.ng, as are other ly as possible, to cooperate with the Community Chest by coordi• Council, the of committees and presenting our problems objectively and theirs with nating our program ng the Community Chest's problems. understandi as well honestly, as Throughout the country the majority of Boy Scout Counc:l.ls must supplement United Fund or Community Chest support with funds derived from other sources. In the past, Chickasaw Council has had a Sustaining ~embership program, which has, so far, not yielded enough money to keep our Council from operating at a deficit, This we cannot continue to do if we are to have a sound Council, The Committee is now giving earnest consideratio n to the development of a program that will afford business people in Memphis the opportunity of, first, knowing more abo.ut Scouting and, then, becoming joy• ous contributor s to its support •• not through fund drives, but through a genuine desire to help our great cause. The procedure for allocation of funds is for the appropriate operating col!DDittees of the Council to make up budgets, which are carefully examined by the Finance CollDDittee, If approved by the Committee, the budgets are submitted to the Executive Board for final approval.. Our books are audited by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company, Certified Public Accountants , I ______ ..J �HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE The function of the Health and Safety Committee overlaps those of other operating committees of the Council, The fine cooperation of these other Committees and of the individual Unit Leaders in the Council have contri· buted materially to the Health and Safety Program, Members of the Health and Safety Committee individually inspected our camps before and during their operation and found several sanitation problems which were immediately corrected or are currently in the process of construction, \11 \_·;''" ._ . .

This committee feels that the Institutions and their leaders have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated on their fine accomplishments. We are pleased to report that Chickasaw Council Scouts and Explorers had 19,696 days of Camping in 1958 as compared to 16,786 in 1957. ACTIVITIES ON A COUNCIL OR DISTRICT LEVEL IN 1958 .. were Scout-0-Rama, Camp-0-Ree, Explorer Rendezvous, Explorer 0 1 Possum Hunt, Good Turn Day, Fire Prevention Parade, Camp Currier Improvement Day, The Chickasaw Actiievemerit "Program and Weblos Day. CANADIAN CANOE TRIP •• Beautiful waters of our Northern Lake country will long be remembered by 30 Explorer Scouts and their leaders who paddled these waters by canoe. Treks of this nature for 1959 will be available to our Explorer units and are in the planning stage at this time, PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH , , Thirty three Explorers under their own leadership, participated in three weeks of high adventure on expedition to Philmont Scout Reservation at Cimarron, New Mexico, BROWNSPORT LANDING ooo The Council Camping and Activities Committee leased Brownsport Landfog Camp from Nicky Brothers Lumber Company and this year the committee has made tremendous use of this property by operating a camp for Explorers, Two Explorer Rendezvous and one week of camp for Explorers were conducted this year, With the help of many of our Explorer Leaders and all the lumber being donated by Nicky Brothers Lumber Company, we have just about completed a nice storage building which will be used to keep supplies. This beautiful camp is located on the Tennessee River and is available to Explorers and their leaders anytime during the year, CALENDAR OF EVENTS,, o Your Committee is happy to report the acceptance of our Calendar booklet by the leadership of our Council and we are already looking forward to the calendar for next year, KAMP KIA KIMA: Kamp Kia Kima had 1177 paid Cam]'.llrs in 1958 compared to 825 for 1957. Sixty different Scout Troops attended Summer Camp under their own leadership. We are making wonderful progress in long range planning as we now have 69 units that have already made reservations to attend Kamp Kia Kima in 1959. The demand is so great, the Camping and Activities Coinmittee has extended Kamp Kia Kima from a six weeks camp to an eight week camp for 1959. You will find listed below a Chart showing the Scout Units that have already reserved a Camp site so they will be assured a place to camp. 6-14 6-21 6-28 Whisuerin" Ranids 70 343 47 201 Ranch 32 32 25 Slick Rock 43 43 42 Cabins 1-6 220 33---:q Cabins 12-16 55 55 ".lj~i' lhckory Hill 257 82 255 Rock Island lil 97 Cedar Island Black Jack Hill 343 2 2 Lone Pine 29 221 Cab:iins 7-10 51 51 219 Lost Arrow 19 80 7-5 7-12 97 13 25 75 80 59 15 35 _..,,-. ..----qs 25' 91 345 211 13 66 22 219 a1.J-- 7-19 10 277 208 35 ~ 21i0 22 58 7-26 281 232 24 a..~ 30 30 51/' 244 8-2 234 24 11 249 We are proud to report that during 1958 we have completed fine living quarters for our Camp Director and his family.

CAMP CURRIER •• , Camp Currier was operated as a Council summer Camp with staff this summer. The following projects were completed this year at Currier - - new roof on Rangers house; new rotating mowing machine; complete overhaul of Camp tractor, repaired and painting swimming pool; removal of three old cabins to make way for new camping areas, Projects are already laid out to be finished in 1959 that will help to make our camp one of the most beautiful in this area. CAMP FULLER ••• Camp Fuller had 172 paid campers in 1958 compared to 207 for 1957. A study is being made of this situation at this time and we hope in the very near future to announce a new , camping program for our negro scouts. Jf,/J11(~ A7'"'1t>?V0 A CAMP-0-REE was held for the ,,__.yr~""'/ ' I ;J three Negro Divisions at Gerr(~ JZ and 376 Scouts and their leaders participated.

This is no easy task, Tiiii demands for the support of character-building and charity agencies in Memphis, as elsewhere, are exceedingly great, and if Scouting is to escape becoming a ward of the go«ernment, its progr.am must be handled as efficient!ly as possible, Your Finance Committee is endeavort.ng, as are other committees of the Council, to cooperate with the Community Chest by coordi• nating our program with theirs and presenting our problems objectively and honestly, as well as understanding the Community Chest's problems. Throughout the country the majority of Boy Scout Counc:l.ls must supplement United Fund or Community Chest support with funds derived from other sources. In the past, Chickasaw Council has had a Sustaining ~embership program, which has, so far, not yielded enough money to keep our Council from operating at a deficit, This we cannot continue to do if we are to have a sound Council, The Committee is now giving earnest consideration to the development of a program that will afford business people in Memphis the opportunity of, first, knowing more abo.ut Scouting and, then, becoming joy• ous contributors to its support •• not through fund drives, but through a genuine desire to help our great cause. The procedure for allocation of funds is for the appropriate operating col!DDittees of the Council to make up budgets, which are carefully examined by the Finance CollDDittee, If approved by the Committee, the budgets are submitted to the Executive Board for final approval.. Our books are audited by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company, Certified Public Accountants, I ______ ..J I I HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE The function of the Health and Safety Committee overlaps those of other operating committees of the Council, The fine cooperation of these other Committees and of the individual Unit Leaders in the Council have contri· buted materially to the Health and Safety Program, Members of the Health and Safety Committee individually inspected our camps before and during their operation and found several sanitation problems which were immediately corrected or are currently in the process of construction, ~/ ,'J "~ ( /-;.;.··--·- . __ ....

RECOGNITION FOR PARTICIPATION Each Unit was presented with a participation shield at Council or District Kickoff Ceremonies, This Shield provided spaces for placing seals of recognition for each of the three quarterly ernphaaes of the Good Turn in which the Troop qualified -- one for Traffic Safety, on~ for Outdoor Safety, and one for Horne Safety, Fifty-eight per cent of t,~e Units in Chickasaw Council participated in all three phases of this program.

The year 1958 has been an exceptional year, Below is the record of our tangible results, however, there is an intangible record - WHAT HAPPENS IN THE LIVES OF BOYS, 1, A continuing program of training opportunities, Increased number of training courses. 2. A number of leaders attnnding Wood Badge Training, National Training Conferences at Philmont, 3. The Baden-Powell Conference The Outdoor Program. The Training of Trainers, for Junior Leaders.
