It will give you a synopsis of wbat has been done by each of the 18 Standing Committees, but it does not adequately describe the untiring effort and the unselfish work of th~ men who are servin~ the boyhood of our city --the Scoutmaster s, the District Commission ers, the Committee Members, the Troop Conmitteemen, the Merit Badge Counselors, the Council Members, the Executive Board--all of these who are collectivel y giving many thousands of hours each year that our. boys may have the advantages of Scout training. Words are futile things to express the value of the work of our volunteer leaders or to thank them properly for their contributio n in enriching the lives of our boys. Their reward is the satisfactio n of knowing they have accomplishe d much in preparing our boys to become men of character trained for participating citizenship .

He commended the Council on the work it was doing. The �- 4 President then called on Mr. Harold W. Lewman. Regional Executive. to make some remarks. Mr. Lew~an stated that it would be a good idea to have a meeting of all the members in the Counci 1 to discuss with the various committees what could be done for the betterment of Scouting and to get a basis of ideas for the work of each committee. He stated that the more ideas which were presented the more chance there was to build Scouting in Memphis and to make the program available to more boys. Mr. Roberts addressed the chair and asked why with the increased number of Scouts in the Coun.ci 1 this year there .had been such a marked falling off in the merit badge program. The Scout Executive explained that there had been a radical change made in the ·method of ·procedure of the Court of Honor and that boys were requested to go before a merit badge counselor then to the Board of Review then to the Court of Honor before receiving the badge and that this method had proved unpopular wtth a nurrber of Scoutmcste:rs and a number Scouts, as many of them thought .it was too much red-tape connected with the award of the merit badge. The Executive asked Mr. Coffey, Commissioner, who has been acting as Chairman of the Court of Honor, to give his· ideas on it •. Mr. Coffey stated that he thought the Scouts had reached the saturation point and while the merit badge program had been building from year to year higher and higher, it had gone too high and was naturally falling back to sane extent especially in view of the many activities of the Council, the Inter-Troop Rallies, etc. Dr. Howard Curl stated he thought that Scouts were doing a better job on merit badges and therefore were being required to have more knowledge of the subject which would naturally take more time and reduce the number of badges. Dr. Ayres stated that he though the Council should have one meeting during the ye£.r other than at the Annual Meeting, that this would let men know they are on the C:ouncil and would g:ive them a picture of the workings of the organization. Mr. John Roberts stnted that some yt:· ars ago it had been planned to have three Council Meetings a year but nothing had been done about it and for the past several years on]¥ 0ne Council Meeting a year had been called. Dr. Ayres m:i.de a motion that the officers of the Council be instructed to arrang-e for a meeting of the Council at some time during the year other than at the Annual Meeting and that the Executive Board should decide when and where the meeting would be held. This motion was seconded by Mr. John E. Roberts and unanimously carried. Before the motion was passed there was a considerable discussion as to whether the extra meeting should be held six months '9rior to the Annual Meeting or 4 months or at a special time, but it was finally agreed that the Executive Board would set the time for the meeting. Mr. John T. Morgan stated it would· be a good idea to have a meeting of the Council at Camp Currier and~ Mr. Harold. Lewman suggested that we have the Annual Meeting three or four months after the Annual Meeting. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 6:05 P.M.

It will give you a synopsis of wbat has been done by each of the 18 Standing Committees, but it does not adequately describe the untiring effort and the unselfish work of th~ men who are servin~ the boyhood of our city --the Scoutmasters, the District Commissioners, the Committee Members, the Troop Conmitteemen, the Merit Badge Counselors, the Council Members, the Executive Board--all of these who are collectively giving many thousands of hours each year that our. boys may have the advantages of Scout training. Words are futile things to express the value of the work of our volunteer leaders or to thank them properly for their contribution in enriching the lives of our boys. Their reward is the satisfaction of knowing they have accomplished much in preparing our boys to become men of character trained for participating citizenship. I want to take this opportunity to tell each and every Scouter how greatly I appreciate the fine work he has done and the sacrifices he has nade in order that the boys of Memphis may have the advantages and opportunities of Sco'.1t-ing • .JI 801,cfutv l'l1 ~ Scout Executive December 7. 1934 ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE ~mar€§ and it is one of the outstanding I events in the activities of the Coun- The Scouts of Chickasaw Council have! cil. engaged in many activities during 1934.1 30 troops participated in the district j The district camps which were held rallies and the 8 highest in the scor- , for a week each during June, July and ing were selected to vie for the city- \August were a distinct succes$ and wide championship and "The Evening . were thoroughly enjoyed by the troops Appeal Cup."

No outstanding bills. Need larger budget---need Field Executive At the end of his report he thanked all the officers and Council Members who had so generously contributed their time and effort in orcer that Scouting in Memphis might go forward. A printed report.giving in detail the high lights of Activities of the Council was presented to all the members present. The President called on Mr. J. T. Morgan, Chairman of the .Nominating Committee for nominations for Officers and Council Members of Chickasaw Council for the year ~eginning January 1, 1935. A printed ballot was distributed as per copy attached. It was moved by M:r. E. A. Smith, seconded by Dr. W. R. :Bethea and unanirr.o:.sly carried that the nominations be closed. It was moved by R.R.L.R. Wilson, seconded by Dr. Bethea, that the secretary be instructed to cast the entire vote of the members for the men nominated by the Nominating Comnittee. Mr. John E. Roberts siJ.ggested that new men be nominated for Council Membership and that this ballot was not a closed proposition but that no committee could sit down and get the names of all the men who should be interested in Scouting and who should serve on the Council, but there were no names nominated from the floor. Mr. McWhorter requested all men present to attend the annual dinner neeting which would be held in the ballroom of the Peabody at 6:45 and at which Mr. Walter W. Head, President of the National Council, would speak. The President then called on Mr. J. K. Shepherd of Little Rock, Regional Chairman of Region 5, for a few remarks. Mr. Shepherd made a short talk stating it had been his privilege to attend the neeting of Chickasaw Council last year and that he was delighted to have the opportunity of ffeeting with them again this year. He commended the Council on the work it was doing. The - 4 - President then called on Mr. Harold W. Lewman. Regional Executive. to make some remarks. Mr. Lew~an stated that it would be a good idea to have a meeting of all the members in the Counci 1 to discuss with the various committees what could be done for the betterment of Scouting and to get a basis of ideas for the work of each committee. He stated that the more ideas which were presented the more chance there was to build Scouting in Memphis and to make the program available to more boys. Mr. Roberts addressed the chair and asked why with the increased number of Scouts in the Coun.ci 1 this year there .had been such a marked falling off in the merit badge program. The Scout Executive explained that there had been a radical change made in the ·method of ·procedure of the Court of Honor and that boys were requested to go before a merit badge counselor then to the Board of Review then to the Court of Honor before receiving the badge and that this method had proved unpopular wtth a nurrber of Scoutmcste:rs and a number Scouts, as many of them thought .it was too much red-tape connected with the award of the merit badge. The Executive asked Mr. Coffey, Commissioner, who has been acting as Chairman of the Court of Honor, to give his· ideas on it •. Mr. Coffey stated that he thought the Scouts had reached the saturation point and while the merit badge program had been building from year to year higher and higher, it had gone too high and was naturally falling back to sane extent especially in view of the many activities of the Council, the Inter-Troop Rallies, etc. Dr. Howard Curl stated he thought that Scouts were doing a better job on merit badges and therefore were being required to have more knowledge of the subject which would naturally take more time and reduce the number of badges. Dr. Ayres stated that he though the Council should have one meeting during the ye£.r other than at the Annual Meeting, that this would let men know they are on the C:ouncil and would g:ive them a picture of the workings of the organization. Mr. John Roberts stnted that some yt:· ars ago it had been planned to have three Council Meetings a year but nothing had been done about it and for the past several years on]¥ 0ne Council Meeting a year had been called. Dr. Ayres m:i.de a motion that the officers of the Council be instructed to arrang-e for a meeting of the Council at some time during the year other than at the Annual Meeting and that the Executive Board should decide when and where the meeting would be held. This motion was seconded by Mr. John E. Roberts and unanimously carried. Before the motion was passed there was a considerable discussion as to whether the extra meeting should be held six months '9rior to the Annual Meeting or 4 months or at a special time, but it was finally agreed that the Executive Board would set the time for the meeting. Mr. John T. Morgan stated it would· be a good idea to have a meeting of the Council at Camp Currier and~ Mr. Harold. Lewman suggested that we have the Annual Meeting three or four months after the Annual Meeting. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 6:05 P.M.
