FOR INTRA-ORGANIZATION COMMUNICATIONS Gordon Morris Scout Executive, B. Memphis, Tenn. TO: Mr. DATE: s. SUBJECT: My dear February 5, 1956 A. Charter renewal application Mr. Morris: We were delighted to have your letter of January lath enclosing the application for your Council for renewal of charter along with the accompanying reports and checks covering the charter fee of $75.00, payment of $262.50 on account of the National quota for which receipt is enclosed, and Scouter registration fees amounting to $105.00. In regard to the quota pledge, I want to express our appreciation for the action taken by your Council, particularly, in having paid such a large proportion of your pledge at this time. I note that the balance of $87.50 will be forwarded in November. It was pleasing to note in one of your reports that you were able to show an increase in membership last year and that a good start was made on Cubbing. Many other phases of your work show progress. I judge that consideration is being given to ways and means of strengthening a few of your committees which were not as active last year as might be desired. I note that several did not meet at all during the year. In connection with your training program, I feel confident that you are planning to include courses in the elements of Scoutmastership and Cub leadership although I note that this is not indicated in paragraph 14 of your application. I judge this was an oversight. It seemed to me that it might be well for your Court of Honor to make a study of Scout advancement based on the record of the past three years. At the end of the year 1952, your reports indicate that Tenderfoot Scouts constitute only 45% of your total membership. This figure has been increasing, however, and at the end of 1955 according to the figures just reported to us your Tenderfoot Scouts constitute 60% of your membership. Another factor which has a bearing on this matter is the fact that although you enrolled only 726 new Scouts last year the number of Tenderfoot Scouts record8d at the end of the year was 1104. Therefore, it appears that this rather substantial increase in the percentage of Tenderfoot Scouts is not due, in this instance, to a large enrollment <:>f new Scouts as is sometimes the case. It is because the reason for this record does not appear on the s:urfe#cthat I suggest that a study be made i f this has not already been done. Turning to your financial report, I find that no figures have been given in the second column headed 0 Special Receipts.• In regard to the revolving ~~ accountts coverdindginregthistfrairtiton and Scouwt supulpldies, you.hatve r eporthed ~e th /;!'\::_ amoun s expen e e s co1umn. e wo apprecia e, a1 so, aVlllg e :r ' }" �Mr. Gordon Morris -2- February 5, 1958 figures indicating the amounts received on these accounts as provided for in the second column. In connection with the camping item, you reported expenditures of $98.45 which I am inclined to think is the net cost to the Council or the excess of expenditures over receipts. What we would like to have are the figures indicating, first, the gross expenditures as provided for in the first column and, second, total receipts from sources such as boyst...._fees, camp store, visitor~ meals, etc., as provided for in the second column. I wonder how publicity is handled as I note that no expenditures are reported and nothing is included in your 1958 budget for this item. Furthermore, do you have no'transportation expenses? And, finally, what about item #12 which relates to general Council activities such as circuses? You have reported no figures for this item although I note that you operated a Councilwide camporee last year. Possibly you have included this under Camping. Will you advise me on this point when replying? I note particularly what you say in your letter pertaining to the registration cards for you.r Council members and wish to assure you that I will see th.at there is no delay in this connection. In conclusion, I want to thank you most sincerely, not only for having forwarded your application so early in January, but, especially, for having it so complete. This is a great help to us and I want you to know we appreciate your cooperation.

It is because the reason for this record does not appear on the s:urfe#cthat I suggest that a study be made if this has not already been done. Turning to your financial report, I find that no figures have been given in the second column headed 0Special Receipts.• In regard to the revolving ~~ accountts coverdindginregthistfrairtiton an 1 d Scouwt supulpldies, you.hatve r 1 eporthed ~e th /;!'\::_ amoun s expen e e s co umn. e wo apprecia e, a so, aVlllg e :r ' }" Mr. Gordon Morris -2- February 5, 1958 figures indicating the amounts received on these accounts as provided for in the second column. In connection with the camping item, you reported expenditures of $98.45 which I am inclined to think is the net cost to the Council or the excess of expenditures over receipts. What we would like to have are the figures indicating, first, the gross expenditures as provided for in the first column and, second, total receipts from sources such as - boyst...._fees, camp store, visitor~ meals, etc., as provided for in the second column. I wonder how publicity is handled as I note that no expenditures are reported and nothing is included in your 1958 budget for this item. Furthermore, do you have no'transportation expenses? And, finally, what about item #12 which relates to general Council activities such as circuses? You have reported no figures for this item although I note that you operated a Councilwide camporee last year. Possibly you have included this under Camping. Will you advise me on this point when replying? I note particularly what you say in your letter pertaining to the registration cards for you.r Council members and wish to assure you that I will see th.at there is no delay in this connection. In conclusion, I want to thank you most sincerely, not only for having forwarded your application so early in January, but, especially, for having it so complete. This is a great help to us and I want you to know we appreciate your cooperation.
