Downtown Hardy looks much as it did in Model T days (and the days of the first camps held at old Kia Kima) ... and the merchants want to keep it that way. Most of the changes have occurred at the ends of town, leaving the heart of Main Street a tiny preserve for antique shops, gift nooks, specialty stores, cafes and craft shops. Other attractions include the Arkansas Traveller Folk and Dinner Theater, golf and Mammoth Springs. Mammoth Spring State Park, located about 15 miles no rth of Hardy, is the site of Mammoth Springs, which flows at the rate of 200 million gallons of 58 degree water daily. Forming a scenic, 10 acre lake, it then flows southward as the Spring River, a popular trout and float stream. A beautifully restored 1886 Frisco depot houses a collection of railroad memorabilia. Park facilities include an information center with exhibits of the area's rich history and natural resources, picnic s ites and a trail.

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

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

The terrain of Tallaha features towering pines and rolling hills. Tallaha is a dining h all camp. Many Tallaha campsites feature cabins. The Camping Committee, with its Camp Promotion, Camp Program and Procurement Subcomittees, has been hard at work to ensure the best possible season. Many thanks to the Order of the Arrow for their devot ion to camp promotion. Whatever your troop 's interests o r needs, the Chickasaw Council Camps will do their best to meet them.

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

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

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

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

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