The troop .o btained 243 new subscriptions and, in turn, was paid $524.25 for their sales efforts. Top salesman for the four week sales campaign was Scout Myron Lawrence, who sold 40 new subscriptions. Top salesmen during the last two weeks of the campaign were Scout Sherman Butler, selling 24 new subscriptions, and Scout Anthony Carr, selling 33 new subscriptions. Although the Troop members did not meet their goal of 1,000 orders which was set by their Scoutmasters, Mr. Rubin Campbell and Mr. Thomas Jordan, the overall performance and efforts by this group of young men was very good.

Master Corps Keep In Touch If you have camped at Camp Currier recently, you probably have noticed a group of Scouters contacting Troops in camp. These Scouters are members of a new organization in Chickasaw Council, called the Camp Master Corps. This group is just getting started and should expand its activity in the near future. The Camp Master Corps is a group of experienced Scouters who serve about 2 weekends per year at Currier. The duties of this Corps now are to contact Troops in the entire camp, stay in touch during the camping week-end, and check out Troops as they leave camp. We believe the Camp Master Corps can help maintain security and safety in the camp, can screen incoming traffic, direct Troops and visitors to campsites, provide a better communication, promote the Outdoor Code and cleanliness m camping. The Corps can provide assistance to Troops in many ways, particularly the new Troops, and Troop_s with limited adult leadership. As the Camp Master Corps grows, we hope to use it to provide .program and advancement opportunities at camp and to assist other groups in developing and improving the camp and it& Scouting Program. We need more Scouters in this program and would welcome all those interested in joining this import*nt program.

Pisgah Baptist Church, recently participated in a sales campaign Remember Back To School! ' Can Collection The Memphis Alumin.um Recycling Center has made arrangements for all Packs, Troops · and Post to collect aluminum cans for recycling. Each unit should take its collection of aluminum cans to the center , at 2231 Filmore (adjacent to the Kellogg's plant near the intersection of Airways and Dunn). The collecting units will receive 25¢ per pound for the cans. ~~mnrhtl mrihut~s funded by the Memphis Publishing Company. The troop .obtained 243 new subscriptions and, in turn, was paid $524.25 for their sales efforts. Top salesman for the four week sales campaign was Scout Myron Lawrence, who sold 40 new subscriptions. Top salesmen during the last two weeks of the campaign were Scout Sherman Butler, selling 24 new subscriptions, and Scout Anthony Carr, selling 33 new subscriptions. Although the Troop members did not meet their goal of 1,000 orders which was set by their Scoutmasters, Mr. Rubin Campbell and Mr. Thomas Jordan, the overall performance and efforts by this group of young men was very good. The Troop plans to purchase new . camping equipm~nt with their earnings. If your unit is interested in the above money earning project contact Mr. Frank Terrell at Memphis Publishing Company 529-2651. Only aluminum cans are being bought under this al'l'angement. An easy way to tell the difference between aluminum cans and other metals is that aluminum is nonmagnetic. The center will provide the plastic bags to be used for purposes of collection. If your unit is interested contact Harris Lewis at the center - 323-9000.

Whitmore (Den Mother .. P~ck 145) & Membership Chairman By Chris Leak If you have camped at Camp Currier recently, you probably have noticed a group of Scouters contacting Troops in camp. These Scouters are members of a new organization in Chickasaw Council, called the Camp Master Corps. This group is just getting started and should expand its activity in the near future. The Camp Master Corps is a group of experienced Scouters who serve about 2 weekends per year at Currier. The duties of this Corps now are to contact Troops in the entire camp, stay in touch during the camping week-end, and check out Troops as they leave camp. We believe the Camp Master Corps can help maintain security and safety in the camp, can screen incoming traffic, direct Troops and visitors to campsites, provide a better communication, promote the Outdoor Code and cleanliness m camping. The Corps can provide assistance to Troops in many ways, particularly the new Troops, and Troop_s with limited adult leadership. As the Camp Master Corps grows, we hope to use it to provide .program and advancement opportunities at camp and to assist other groups in developing and improving the camp and it& Scouting Program. We need more Scouters in this program and would welcome all those interested in joining this import*nt program.
