Seoinole Division of Chickasaw Council, 3.S• .A. Inc. has been faced with such tines • .All through the ye~, the horrors of war was felt, but we had not the slightest idea that the effect would be so wide spread• effcc ing as it did ah:1;ost every Cub Pa.ck and scout Troop; in the Division. The following is a brief report froo sor:ie of the Standing Cor.v:.ittees of the Division, which describes the r.1ajor accor.:rplis..lir.ients for. the. fiscal yeur Deceuber l, 1944 to Nover1ber 30,1945. These reports do not fully reflect the loyal and unstinting service of the imr+dreds of people who have so freely given of their tir.ie and effort to enable our boys to ha.ve benefit of Scouting. I would like to use this r:1ethod to express ny a:;:::preciation to evecy Scouter, \J'i..i:Jber and De:nr.iother in the ,·Division for their splendid work done and for the cooperation r.mde for the cood of Scouting •.

'-·"""'--- The Camp fee was $5.50 per week which is an increase of .50 over 19440 This additional charge was made because of the increase in the price of food and help. Due to the fact that many boss could obtain jobs durir,g the Camping season, the attendance was a bit off, but the advancanent and Troop Cani.ping was far superior to a:ny. year in the history of Camp Daniels. S01:.1e progress was made '.Yi th the wat'er front activities despite the fa.ct that a. new location was selected for swinning. The new location is about l!miles from the old location, above the drain from a defense plant neD.rby which polluted the water and made it unsanitary :for swinming. 42 boys were taught to swim, 15 boys passed the 50 yard test, 28 boys were taught to swim more than 50 yards. Every bo~r had a physical examination before entering Camp. Wo are greatly appreciative to the following Doctors: L.A3 Johnson, R.R. Johnson, Ro Eo.rl !land, E.M. Wilkins ar•d w. E. Perry for exaoining boys :physically, free of charge. The Committee is al so grateful to the Cor.:m1ercial Appeal Fund which sent 50 boys to Car.:ip who would have oth0rwise been unable to attehd. 56 boys coopleted their Second 01ass work, B~dges wore earned as compared with 46 Second Class, 11 First Clans and 18 ~;:erit Badges in 15343, and 48 Second Class, 12 First Class and Z2 ~.:eri t Badges in 1944. 15 completed their First Class work and 96 Merit Camp Dani ols is in a very accesi ble site ualdng it possible to service a great carlines, the being just 1 mile froo nuober of boys. it is located in a beautiful woody site near Douglass ·Park.'· ~e Camp is fortunate in ho:ving city water.

We need electric lights, o. recreation hnll for inclioate <lays, oora co.bins nnd a larger dining rooo. A swimming pool is also needed since Scouts wis.'lj,1ng to po.as their test in Life Saving had, to use the city pools as Wolf River is not safe for diving. CIVIC RELATIO!JS Du.ring the year, the Scouts of Sa:iinol1:i Division have not been cnllcd upon to do om.1y to.aka, but whenever called they nlWDlfS served. Tho Scouts of Chickasaw Council snonsored a Scout Circus and t.:'le Scouts of Soroinole Divisio£i were asked. to. sell tickets. $300.00 worth of tickets was sold by Scouts of S~Jinole. 10 Scouts distributed 150 posters for the Collins Chapel Hospital Fund. The boys pnrticipated in the \ia.r effort and civic good turns. 'Ihey collected waste paper, scrap iron. distributed gover11r.1i.mt posters, participated ip church a.ctivi ties.

Seoinole Division of Chickasaw Council, 3.S • .A. Inc. has been faced with such tines • .All through the ye~, the horrors of war was felt, but we had not the slightest idea that the effect would be so wide spread• effcc ing as it did ah:1;ost every Cub Pa.ck and scout Troop; in the Division. The following is a brief report froo sor:ie of the Standing Cor.v:.ittees of the Division, which describes the r.1ajor accor.:rplis..lir.ients for. the. fiscal yeur Deceuber l, 1944 to Nover1ber 30,1945. These reports do not fully reflect the loyal and unstinting service of the imr+dreds of people who have so freely given of their tir.ie and effort to enable our boys to ha.ve benefit of Scouting. I would like to use this r:1ethod to express ny a:;:::preciation to evecy Scouter, \J'i..i:Jber and De:nr.iother in the ,·Division for their splendid work done and for the cooperation r.mde for the cood of Scouting •.

The Camp fee was $5.50 per week which is an increase of .50 over 19440 This additional charge was made because of the increase in the price of food and help. Due to the fact that many boss could obtain jobs durir,g the Camping season, the attendance was a bit off, but the advancanent and Troop Cani.ping was far superior to a:ny. year in the history of Camp Daniels. S01:.1e progress was made '.Yi th the wat'er front activities despite the fa.ct that a. new location was selected for swinning. The new location is about l!miles from the old location, above the drain from a defense plant neD.rby which polluted the water and made it unsanitary :for swinming. 42 boys were taught to swim, 15 boys passed the 50 yard test, 28 boys were taught to swim more than 50 yards. Every bo~r had a physical examination before entering Camp. Wo are greatly appreciative to the following Doctors: L.A3 Johnson, R.R. Johnson, Ro Eo.rl !land, E.M. Wilkins ar•d w. E. Perry for exaoining boys :physically, free of charge. The Committee is al so grateful to the Cor.:m1ercial Appeal Fund which sent 50 boys to Car.:ip who would have oth0rwise been unable to attehd. 56 boys coopleted their Second 01ass work, 15 completed their First Class work and 96 Merit B~dges wore earned as compared with 46 Second Class, 11 First Clans and 18 ~;:erit Badges in 15343, and 48 Second Class, 12 First Class and Z2 ~.:eri t Badges in 1944. Camp Dani ols is in a very accesi ble site being just 1 mile froo the carlines, ualdng it possible to service a great nuober of boys. it is located in a beautiful woody site near Douglass ·Park.'· ~e Camp is fortunate in ho:ving city water. Scouts repaired the roof on the dining hall and 5 cu.bir s [ffid earnec1. Merit :Sndgcs in Carpentry. Tney al so painted the dining hall v.nd 5 cabins ana. ec,rned Merit ::Badges in Painting. 72 new steal cots and r.1attresses were t:b..e r:ru.ch needed additions. ilAM'IUG COhEITTEE (Continued) A m:n:1ber of 1oproveoents are needed for the Cll!np which wo hope to obtoj_n in the near future. We need electric lights, o. recreation hnll for inclioate <lays, oora co.bins nnd a larger dining rooo. A swimming pool is also needed since Scouts wis.'lj,1ng to po.as their test in Life Saving had, to use the city pools as Wolf River is not safe for diving. CIVIC RELATIO!JS Du.ring the year, the Scouts of Sa:iinol1:i Division have not been cnllcd upon to do om.1y to.aka, but whenever called they nlWDlfS served. Tho Scouts of Chickasaw Council snonsored a Scout Circus and t.:'le Scouts of Soroinole Divisio£i were asked. to. sell tickets. $300.00 worth of tickets was sold by Scouts of S~Jinole. 10 Scouts distributed 150 posters for the Collins Chapel Hospital Fund. The boys pnrticipated in the \ia.r effort and civic good turns. 'Ihey collected waste paper, scrap iron. distributed gover11r.1i.mt posters, participated ip church a.ctivi ties.
