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

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