Our council has an objective of 25,000 boy members by 1976. To reach this very challenging goal we must tap new resources in order to penetrate into previously unreached areas in this dynamic new Scouting program called "BOYPOWER '76." Great progress has been made in 1970 as we have strived to reach our goals. Many Scouters have contributed in various ways to make some unusual accomplishments possible. Our committee chairmen will now report to you on the contributions their committees have made in 1970 as we have endeavored to be on target in reaching our goals. The first progress report will come from Bill Cowan, Chairman of the Finance Committee. 8A<* (SCOUT PLACES MONEY BACK ON TABLE) BILL COWAN It is difficult to say whose contribution is greatest in Scouting because every contribution of any type at any level is important. However, our council could not possibly carry out its program without our contribution of money. The funds we provide have been made available due to the diligent efforts of hundreds of faithful workers and the generous support of thousands who give to Scouting through the United Fund and as sustaining members. We are grateful to Shelby United Neighbors for its understanding and continued support. Their increase in allocation to the Boy Scouts was the greatest in many years. Sustaining membership pledges were also the greatest in history with a very significant increase over last year. We are grateful to all of those who have made our committees contribution to �_ 2 — BOYPOWER possible. We will continue in our efforts to plan and provide a budget that will make all BOYPOWER goals become a reality. BOB BAKER Thanks to you, Bill Cowan, and the finance committee. Your committee has contributed an important ingredient for our success. Now we will hear from Sam Mays, Chairman of the Organization and Extension Committee. (SCOUT PLACES APPROPRIATE ITEMS ON TABLE) SAM MAYS We are pleased to report that the Organization and Extension Committee has made a significant contribution to the progress in meeting our council's goals. Our job is to open doors for new institutions to sponsor Scouting and to develop programs that will attract boys to join Scouting. We feel that we have been successful in organizing a large number of new units and thousands of boys have been enrolled through "School Night for Scouting" and the "Touchdown Round-Up." We are grateful to all who have helped but want to say a special word of thanks to Bill Morris our "Scoutreach" Chairman, E. C. Stimbert and George Barnes, Co-Chairmen of School Night, and Coach Billy Murphy, Round-Up Chairman. We are on target in our membership and expect to remain there. BOB BAKER Sam Mays, your committee has made an unusually fine contribution and we thank you. The record indicates that you have opened many new doors to enable boys to become Scouts. Next, Sam Anderson will report for the Leadership Training Committee. (SCOUT PLACES SCOUTING BOOKS ON TABLE) SAM ANDERSON Our committee has also made a fine contribution to the BOYPOWER program. We firmly believe that every boy deserves a trained leader. You have heard the report of large numbers of new boys being recruited for Scouting. Our job has been providing the training that will qualify the leaders of these boys to do their job effectively. �- 3A large corps of dedicated Scouters in every district has conducted training courses including basic training for all unit leaders, Den Mother Training, outdoor training, Pow Wows, Showandos, Wood Badge, Den Chiefs Training and Junior Leader Training. More leaders are trained than ever before and we are most appreciative of the fine work being done by our excellent training teams throughout the council, BOB BAKER We all want to thank you and your training committee, Sam, for a job well done. Your contribution has been important to our success. Now, Herb Schmid will tell about some exciting things that have happened in camping and activities. (SCOUT PLACES KNAPSACK ON TABLE) HERB SCHMID Our committee has contributed right where it reaches the boy. Every boy joins because he wants the fun and adventure offered by camping and Scouting1s special activities. Early in the year our council Scout show proved to be the largest and most successful ever held. District camporees were held in all districts with large attendance and yearround camping was stressed in all our troops. Kamp Kia Kima received the highest possible rating and inaugurated new program ideas which were well received by camping troops. Attendance was good and a large group of disadvantaged Scouts and non-Scouts were privileged to participate through funds which were provided from special sources, Camp improvements were made at Kla Kima and Camp Currier from Scout Show profits. Two expeditions from the council went to the Philmont Scout Ranch. Special effort has been made to assist units in qualifying as National Standard units with the required outdoor activities. We are pleased to report ex- cellent progress in meeting our BOYPOWER goals. Plans are underway to make 1971 an even bigger and better year for camping and activities. �- 4BOB BAKER Your report makes us all wish we were Scouts again so we could participate in your fine program* The contribution of your committee has been great. The health and safety of our Scouts is always important. Doug Hawkes, tell about the work of your committee, (SCOUT PLACES FIRST AID KIT ON TABLE) DOUG HAWKES The work of our Health and Safety Committee lacks the glamour of some of the committees but it is so essential to the welfare of our Scouts in all Their activities. The sites and facilities for all camps and special events were inspected for safety by our committee and pre-camp physical examinations required for all long term campers. Physical rechecks were given at camp for all Scouts and leaders, and we were again fortunate in providing resident doctors for Kamp Kia Kima. We are pleased to report that there were no serious accidents or sickness in any of the council activities during the year. BOB BAKER Thank you, Dr. Hawkes. Parents and Scouters are grateful for the confidence your committee provided in assuring that proper measures for health and safety are always taken. You have made a significant contribution to BOYPOWER progress. Now, may we hear from Millen Darnell, our Advancement Committee Chairman. (SCOUT PLACES BADGES ON TABLE) MILLEN DARNELL Our committee contribution to BOYPOWER is in the program where it directly effects the boy. The quality of the program is improved as boys are given an incentive through the advancement scheme in Scouting to learn important skills - skills which will be beneficial throughout life. The Cub Scout works with his parents to learn to do things that prepare him to be a better citizen. The Boy Scout advancement program is well known to all as every rank and every merit badge is important in the development of a boy. Our committee has encouraged units to improve their advancement program. Special emphasis has been placed on the recruiting of merit badge counselors and Scoutingfs religious awards. Our big special, activity �- 5~ for the year was Eagle Scout Day when Eagle Scouts participated in a day of recognition and vocational exploration. BOB BAKER Millen, we know that advancement is one of the important items which qualify units as National Standard units. Your committee has been a vital force in helping our council achieve BOYPOWER goals. A relatively new committee is Exploring. Chairman Ed Eslick will now report, (EXPLORER PLACES APPROPRIATE ITEMS ON TABLE) ED ESLICK Our contribution has not been as great as we would like it to be but we are moving in the right direction. In the new Exploring program for high school age boys and girls emphasis is now on special interest posts. Many special interest post have been organized throughout the council. We are especially grateful for the group of Law Enforcement post sponsored by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department and the group of special interest post sponsored by Holiday Inn Headqarters. Our committee also conducted a Road Rally for safe driving and an Explorer Olympics event. Our emphasis will be on the organization of more special interest posts and improved service to these posts. To be successful we will need the support of many community leaders and businesses. BOB BAKER; Ed Eslick, your committee has made a good start in an area that is most important.

SOME PROBLEMS WITH PRESENT DISTRICT ALIGNMENT: - Some districts are too large geographically which means district executive travels too much. - Districts which have a definite mixture of disadvantaged area and some more affluent areas have neglected the poorer areas. - The present alignment of Negro districts overlaying white districts could cause the council embarrassment (some could classify this as segregation). This has been a good plan during transition period but the present plan is now out of date and expensive. B. REALIGNMENT PLANS; After much research and study by the Long Range Planning Committee the following plan is recommended: The proposed plan will have an advantage over the present alignment as the proposal is strictly geographical and all districts will be integrated. Travel required by district executives will be reduced. There will not be duplication of service with a white man and Negro man serving the same area. Two large inner-city districts including much of disadvantaged areas. Would suggest at least two district executives in each inner-city district. Northwest would include Frayser and Millington with Wolf River as south boundry. Southwest would include Whitehaven and three Mississippi counties with Interstate Highway as north boundary. The heart of the city area would be added to Northeast District. Southeast and Eastern would remain essentially same as they are. It would be desirable to add at least one man to staff immediately when this plan is adopted in order to have 2 men in each of the inner-city districts. It is desired that immediate executive board approval be given to the district realignment plan so that all necessary changes can be made by September 1, 1969, �BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CHICKASAW COUNCIL MINUTES OF EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING SCOUT SERVICE CENTER APRIL 10, 1969 PRESENT!

Our council has an objective of 25,000 boy members by 1976. To reach this very challenging goal we must tap new resources in order to penetrate into previously unreached areas in this dynamic new Scouting program called "BOYPOWER '76." Great progress has been made in 1970 as we have strived to reach our goals. Many Scouters have contributed in various ways to make some unusual accomplishments possible. Our committee chairmen will now report to you on the contributions their committees have made in 1970 as we have endeavored to be on target in reaching our goals. The first progress report will come from Bill Cowan, Chairman of the Finance Committee. 8A<* (SCOUT PLACES MONEY BACK ON TABLE) BILL COWAN It is difficult to say whose contribution is greatest in Scouting because every contribution of any type at any level is important. However, our council could not possibly carry out its program without our contribution of money. The funds we provide have been made available due to the diligent efforts of hundreds of faithful workers and the generous support of thousands who give to Scouting through the United Fund and as sustaining members. We are grateful to Shelby United Neighbors for its understanding and continued support. Their increase in allocation to the Boy Scouts was the greatest in many years. Sustaining membership pledges were also the greatest in history with a very significant increase over last year. We are grateful to all of those who have made our committees contribution to _ 2 — BOYPOWER possible. We will continue in our efforts to plan and provide a budget that will make all BOYPOWER goals become a reality. BOB BAKER Thanks to you, Bill Cowan, and the finance committee. Your committee has contributed an important ingredient for our success. Now we will hear from Sam Mays, Chairman of the Organization and Extension Committee. (SCOUT PLACES APPROPRIATE ITEMS ON TABLE) SAM MAYS We are pleased to report that the Organization and Extension Committee has made a significant contribution to the progress in meeting our council's goals. Our job is to open doors for new institutions to sponsor Scouting and to develop programs that will attract boys to join Scouting. We feel that we have been successful in organizing a large number of new units and thousands of boys have been enrolled through "School Night for Scouting" and the "Touchdown Round-Up." We are grateful to all who have helped but want to say a special word of thanks to Bill Morris our "Scoutreach" Chairman, E. C. Stimbert and George Barnes, Co-Chairmen of School Night, and Coach Billy Murphy, Round-Up Chairman. We are on target in our membership and expect to remain there. BOB BAKER Sam Mays, your committee has made an unusually fine contribution and we thank you. The record indicates that you have opened many new doors to enable boys to become Scouts. Next, Sam Anderson will report for the Leadership Training Committee. (SCOUT PLACES SCOUTING BOOKS ON TABLE) SAM ANDERSON Our committee has also made a fine contribution to the BOYPOWER program. We firmly believe that every boy deserves a trained leader. You have heard the report of large numbers of new boys being recruited for Scouting. Our job has been providing the training that will qualify the leaders of these boys to do their job effectively. - 3 - A large corps of dedicated Scouters in every district has conducted training courses including basic training for all unit leaders, Den Mother Training, outdoor training, Pow Wows, Showandos, Wood Badge, Den Chiefs Training and Junior Leader Training. More leaders are trained than ever before and we are most appreciative of the fine work being done by our excellent training teams throughout the council, BOB BAKER We all want to thank you and your training committee, Sam, for a job well done. Your contribution has been important to our success. Now, Herb Schmid will tell about some exciting things that have happened in camping and activities. (SCOUT PLACES KNAPSACK ON TABLE) HERB SCHMID Our committee has contributed right where it reaches the boy. Every boy joins because he wants the fun and adventure offered by camping and Scouting1s special activities. Early in the year our council Scout show proved to be the largest and most successful ever held. District camporees were held in all districts with large attendance and yearround camping was stressed in all our troops. Kamp Kia Kima received the highest possible rating and inaugurated new program ideas which were well received by camping troops. Attendance was good and a large group of disadvantaged Scouts and non-Scouts were privileged to participate through funds which were provided from special sources, Camp improvements were made at Kla Kima and Camp Currier from Scout Show profits. Two expeditions from the council went to the Philmont Scout Ranch. Special effort has been made to assist units in qualifying as National Standard units with the required outdoor activities. We are pleased to report excellent progress in meeting our BOYPOWER goals. Plans are underway to make 1971 an even bigger and better year for camping and activities. - 4 - BOB BAKER Your report makes us all wish we were Scouts again so we could participate in your fine program* The contribution of your committee has been great. The health and safety of our Scouts is always important. Doug Hawkes, tell about the work of your committee, (SCOUT PLACES FIRST AID KIT ON TABLE) DOUG HAWKES The work of our Health and Safety Committee lacks the glamour of some of the committees but it is so essential to the welfare of our Scouts in all Their activities. The sites and facilities for all camps and special events were inspected for safety by our committee and pre-camp physical examinations required for all long term campers. Physical rechecks were given at camp for all Scouts and leaders, and we were again fortunate in providing resident doctors for Kamp Kia Kima. We are pleased to report that there were no serious accidents or sickness in any of the council activities during the year. BOB BAKER Thank you, Dr. Hawkes. Parents and Scouters are grateful for the confidence your committee provided in assuring that proper measures for health and safety are always taken. You have made a significant contribution to BOYPOWER progress. Now, may we hear from Millen Darnell, our Advancement Committee Chairman. (SCOUT PLACES BADGES ON TABLE) MILLEN DARNELL Our committee contribution to BOYPOWER is in the program where it directly effects the boy. The quality of the program is improved as boys are given an incentive through the advancement scheme in Scouting to learn important skills - skills which will be beneficial throughout life. The Cub Scout works with his parents to learn to do things that prepare him to be a better citizen. The Boy Scout advancement program is well known to all as every rank and every merit badge is important in the development of a boy. Our committee has encouraged units to improve their advancement program. Special emphasis has been placed on the recruiting of merit badge counselors and Scoutingfs religious awards. Our big special, activity - 5 ~ for the year was Eagle Scout Day when Eagle Scouts participated in a day of recognition and vocational exploration. BOB BAKER Millen, we know that advancement is one of the important items which qualify units as National Standard units. Your committee has been a vital force in helping our council achieve BOYPOWER goals. A relatively new committee is Exploring. Chairman Ed Eslick will now report, (EXPLORER PLACES APPROPRIATE ITEMS ON TABLE) ED ESLICK Our contribution has not been as great as we would like it to be but we are moving in the right direction. In the new Exploring program for high school age boys and girls emphasis is now on special interest posts. Many special interest post have been organized throughout the council. We are especially grateful for the group of Law Enforcement post sponsored by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department and the group of special interest post sponsored by Holiday Inn Headqarters. Our committee also conducted a Road Rally for safe driving and an Explorer Olympics event. Our emphasis will be on the organization of more special interest posts and improved service to these posts. To be successful we will need the support of many community leaders and businesses. BOB BAKER; Ed Eslick, your committee has made a good start in an area that is most important. Much of our progress on the BOYPOWER '76 program is expected in Exploring. Now let me report briefly for the council commissioner staff. This service arm of the council gives direct service to our units through roundtables, unit visitation and rechartering. A large group of dedicated Scouters have served faithfully on the commissioner staff to help the council meet its BOYPOWER goals. May we now look at the Scoreboard and post the record of accomplishments at this date. - 6 - (STAFF MEMBER POSTS RECORD AS IT IS GIVEN BY BOB BAKER) BOB BAKER We are proud that we have been on target on most BOYPOWER items throughout the year. The contributions of the various committees which have reported tonight have made this possible as well as the wonderful service given by all of our volunteer Scouters throughout the council. We thank all of you for your part. C H I C K A S A W C O U N C I L P R O G R E S S sv TOTAL NATIONAL STANDARD UNITS ocT.

A total of $130,000 was expected to be collected in sustaining memberships which would give a total amount of $277,500 as the anticipated amount the council would have for its 1970 operation. The finance committee would soon recommend a revised operating budget within this amount. The report also informed the board that a community chest was being organized in West Memphis, but it was very doubtful that the council could participate in this community chest in 1970. Mr. Steinkamp told about meetings and communications with S.U.N. officials which had indicated a much better understanding of our program and needs by S.U.N. personnel. He told about requests for information about our sustaining membership which S.U.N. had made. This request for information had been discussed with many members of the Finance Committee and most were of the opinion that we should furnish all information requested. Shep Tate thought we should not give S.U.N. the names of our sustaining members enrolling for $100 or more, and he had written a letter to the president so stating. After a discussion the consensus of the executive board was that all requested information should be submitted. HEALTH AND ..SAFETY; Dr. Doug Hawkes, Chairman of the Health and Safety Committee, reported that there had been no major health or accident problems in the camp this summer.

SOME PROBLEMS WITH PRESENT DISTRICT ALIGNMENT: - Some districts are too large geographically which means district executive travels too much. - Districts which have a definite mixture of disadvantaged area and some more affluent areas have neglected the poorer areas. - The present alignment of Negro districts overlaying white districts could cause the council embarrassment (some could classify this as segregation). This has been a good plan during transition period but the present plan is now out of date and expensive. B. REALIGNMENT PLANS; After much research and study by the Long Range Planning Committee the following plan is recommended: The proposed plan will have an advantage over the present alignment as the proposal is strictly geographical and all districts will be integrated. Travel required by district executives will be reduced. There will not be duplication of service with a white man and Negro man serving the same area. Two large inner-city districts including much of disadvantaged areas. Would suggest at least two district executives in each inner-city district. Northwest would include Frayser and Millington with Wolf River as south boundry. Southwest would include Whitehaven and three Mississippi counties with Interstate Highway as north boundary. The heart of the city area would be added to Northeast District. Southeast and Eastern would remain essentially same as they are. It would be desirable to add at least one man to staff immediately when this plan is adopted in order to have 2 men in each of the inner-city districts. It is desired that immediate executive board approval be given to the district realignment plan so that all necessary changes can be made by September 1, 1969, CHICKASAW COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MINUTES OF EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING SCOUT SERVICE CENTER APRIL 10, 1969 PRESENT!
