BLDG. MEMPHIS 3, TENN. Mqv 31, 1956 To the Budget Committee of the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest, 210 Madison Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee, We present herewith our request for participation in the Memphis and Shelby County Community Ohest, 1957, on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America in Memphis and Shelby County. We arc proud of tho fact that our program is available to all boys regard,.. l ess of race, creed, color, or social or financial status. Our well-rounded program which has been provided during past years has brought Scouting at its best to an increasing number of boys. We include here facts which we think will indicate to you that the money which has been provided by the Community Chest has been used wisely and efficiently in carrying out our responsibilities to the community. However the lack cf funds has prevented us from accomplishing as much as we should in a rapidly growing city and area. We have projoct~d our plans through 1959 as reflected by the manpower charts. The six operating committees made a detailed study of the needs of the Council and after approxima tely 960 manhours of volunteer time developed the detailed budget enclosed. A lesser program would not meet tho needs of the boys in the Council area. A careful study of our Four Year Plan will convince you that our r e quested budget i s neces~ary. your approval. ' We thank you for your study of this plan and await Respectifully Submitted, Harry Williams Finance Chairman R. D. Fuller Presidont W. Gordon Morris Scout Executi vo �Next to the home, church, and school, the Boy Scouts of America is recognized by leading citizens as the greatest deterrent to crime and juvenile delinquen cy. The Honorable Edmund Orgill and the Honorable Walter Chandler, Mayors of Memphis, 'in a joint letter of December 30, 1955, point out these facts. Copy attached. Tho need for more adjoining territory as Department Chiefs have elevate tho increasin g Scouting is apparent in certain areas of our city and evidenced by tho fact that Commissioner Annour and his joined forces with us in promoting additiona l Units to juvonilo delinquen cy. Mr. H. M. Bizzcl, juvonilo probation officer in Crittendo n County, said, year, Many of those "Delinque ncy rose 88 percent in Crittende n County last 11 involved Memphis boys - - especiall y in oar thofts. 11 Juvenile Court Judge Elizabeth McCain recently said, Mrnnphis Juvenile Court handled 1256 delinquen t complaint s in 1950; 2000 in 1954, and 2,500 in Those do not include many traffic offcnses, 11 1955. Mr, Joe Brunton, Jr., who investiga ted juvenile delinquen cy in Now York for thc>.t st<Cto said, 11 A youngster started on tho wrong track may cost tho stato in oxcoss of $60,000, in addition to a loss of a potential ly worthy life. This of course refers to tho cost over several years of trying to rehabilit ate and· rostoro to society a youngster who gets in difficult y in his fonnetivo years. Actually, tho annuP.l cost of procossin g·and.ins titutiona lizing a boy or girl in·troubl o runs to an annual cost of $1,800. to in some instances as much P.S $7,000. or $8,000." In our own sto.te of Tonnessee the cost of keeping a boy at the Ste.to Vocationa l Training School at Jordonia whore white juvenile delinquen ts are.sent and the State Vocationa l Training School at Pikeville , for Negro boys, ·will not approach. tho Now York figure, but will average approxim ately $1000. per boy per year. Tho actual cost at Jordonia is $1200. per boy per year. Mr. Prigmore, superinte ndent of this institutio n, said that they used Scouting to rohabilito .to their boys and that thoy have four Scout Units in full operation at tho present time. Tho Scouting Program is carried out by trainod volunteer s, Those volunteer are trained by professio nal Scoutors to organize new Units, soc thnt they have sound financial backgroun d, that they participa te in camping and other activitic that their mooting plHces arc ndequato and safe and that tho boy advances in Scout skills, Scout spirit and leadershi p. Tho following pages will give you tho general picture of tho potential of Scouting in Chickasaw Council~ �SE AL (Jffice of Walter ChanclJ.er MalfOr SS! vN GOVER1IM:iliT Memphis, Tenn, COH~iI December 30, 1955 Our city has the distinction of being first as the cleanest city, the quietest city and the safest from fire, We have now entered into a "Forward Mempni s Program" and we are of the opinion that every citizen will want to include in that program the training of our boys f'or better citizenship, For many yee.rs the Jlloy scout Movement in Memphis has provided an outstanding program for a larc;e ntunber of our boys thereqy setting up a strong deterrent to jiwenile clelinq_uency. The Scout Program has served well in its responsibil ity as supplying a parallel to the work done on bohelf' of' our boys in the homes, the churches and the schools, Out city is faced now with a tremendous "Boy Crop. 11 This "Boy Crop" has outgrown the present adl.11. t leader ship. Additional volunteer workers a.re necessary to continue to servo even tho present porcentac;e of tho boys available who want to be in Scouting, We know of no finer wey in which our citizens can be of assistance in the building of' our city than qy giving their time, effort end support to tho program 6f tho Boy scouts of America through tho Memphis Chickasaw Council, By so doing wo can then bo assured the.t the mtlo ci tizons of tomorrow will bo man of exceptional ly fine leadership. In combined agreement wo hLvo signed our names and caused the Saal of tho City of Memphis to be affixed this ::Oth day of December, 1955, /s/ Wal tor ChanclJ. er Meyor, City Of Memphis Edmund Orgill Mayor Elect �REPURT CF CPERATiilG CC!i~HTTEES The Organization and Extension Committee is charged with the responsibility of organizing new Cub Packs, Scout Troops and Explorer Units, and, assisting in the reregistration of existing Units, At this date, the committee has organized thirty-six new Units and reregistered one hundred thirty Uni ts. At the present time there are fifty-three institutions that we have been unable to organize due to the lack of manpower which means lack of money. The Leadership Training Committee is responsible for the instruction and inspiration of all Adult scouters, This year eleven Scouters will go to Philir.ont scout Ranch in New Mexico, at their own e:x;pense, in order to receive further training that they may pass on here. The Woodbadge Course, international To date, during 1956 t"lfpe training, will be held at Krunp Kia Kima in August. of trainees and courses number largest the is which we have trained 390 scouters held in any similar period. The Camping and Activities Committee maintains camps and provides special events. Camp reservations at Kamp have been so great that it has been necessary to opan Camp Currier for ona week this year and for four weeks next year. At the present time, May 1956, nearly half of the available space at Kamp Kia Kima for the summer 1957 has been taken. At our present rate of growth in camping, it will be necessary to procure additional camping area qy 1959, The Heal th and Safety Commi tteo inspects campsi tos, meeting places, swimming facilities and other hazardous locations in which boys might be placed in ds.nger. This committee is responsi blc for the cooperation of tho Council with emergency agencies of the council area. This year the committee has secured an emergency service truck that will bo available with trained porsonnol to assist in community disaster anywhere in the council area, The Advancement Commi ttoe in business could be called "quality control" Under the guidance of this committee The Goldsmith Family has established a four year college scholarship for an Eagle scout or an Explorer holding the Silver Award, This commi ttoe has presented four oi tations to scouts who have stwed lives • It he,s sponsored one candidate to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition and one candidate for the James E. West Conservation Scholarship. From JanuLry through April, our volumn of business has been moro than tho entire yegr 1955, Tho Finance Committee is charged with tho responsibility of developill{; a detailed budget satisf2.ctory to the Council Exocuti vo Board, rv.ising tho nocossai:y money and supervising tho expenditures, In developing tho enclosed budget a modest increase in salary is includod, This is necessary to kcop tho trained personnel th~.t wo have and attre.ct o.dditional personnel that wo need, Wo had difficulty roplEtcing one mE>.n \'.ho resigned ten months ago o.nd we have just lost one of our best men to another council. The salary ranges indicated for the positions in tho Chickasaw Council aro well within tho limits of the councils in our six state region which includes Tonnosseo, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Northern Florida.. Tho minimum stDndards of the Boy Scou.ts of America require college trained personnel on our professional staff, In todeys market thoy command e, higher price evon though it is recognized that tho men who are interested must be dedicated to tho sorvico of boyhood and tho dovoloPmont of tho future ci ti zons of our land. �GROWTH OF SCOUTING The number of boys of Scouting age - 8 through 16 yearshas increased greatly over tho past have seen an accelerated increase 15 years. because In Memphis we of tho spurt in population growth and also because of tho many new families who have moved to Memphis area in the post-war years.

Activities held on a Council and District level include Boy Scout Week, Camporee, Rendezvou s, :Explorer Oppo sum Hunt, Good Turn Day, Clean-Up, Paint-U'p, Fix-U'p Parade and Fire Preventio n Week. The Scout Show and Circus was held in May. Your Committee feels that the Unit Leaders have done an outstandi ng job and are to be congratul ated on their fine accomplis hment in leading their boys into the great out-of-do ors. We are proud to say that more Units have gone to camp under their own leadershi p this year than ever before. We feel that you will be very gratified to know that camping is on the upgrade in Chickasaw Council and that more boys are participa ting each year, Interest in camping at Kamp Kia Kima is shown by the fact that 47 Uni ts have already made reservatio ns for 1957, Camp Currier was operated this year for one week as a pilot camp. We now plan to operate Camp Currier for two weeks in 19 57. Splendid progress was made in 1956 in bringing Units to camp under their own leadershi p which is the scout way of camping, Seventy-f our ( 74) Units attended long term camp under their own leadershi p. Five thousand five hundred and thirty (5530) Scouts camped at Camp Currier during 1956, Two long distance Explorer activitie s were held this summer, The Canadian Canoe Expeditio n took six Explorers and leaders through the Canadian Lakes north of Ely, Minnesota . Thirty-th ree ( 33) Explorers under Council leadership participa ted in a two weeks expeditio n to Philmont &:out Ranch in New Mexico. The Second Annual Air Encampment for our Negro :Explorers was held at the Memphis Air Base in November, Fifty-nin e ( 59) Explorers participa ted in the encampment, The Regional Naval Air Encampment was held at NAS, Millingto n in September . Eleven hundred (1100) Explorers from Region V took part in this program. On October 27, the Cubs, scouts, and Explorers joined hands in Good Turn Dew to the Goodwill Industrie s. Over 10 ,000 bags of repairabl e clothing was collected by the boys. According to Goodwill Industrie s, this Good Turn ey the boys will provide approxima tely nine weeks of employment for the 85 handicapp ed people at Goodwill, Your Committee feels that 1957 will be a year of quality program for every boy registere d in our Council, ·-----------~ �I NCORPOR ATED MEMO E R AGENCY MEMPH I S CO MMUN I TY CHEST 94 No .

The job of our Finance Committee is three fold. First, building the budget, second, developing sources of income and third, supervising expenditures of all Council funds. In May, 1956, under the leadership of our Finance Committee, our Council held its first full scale Budget Planning Conference and planned a budget for 1957 based upon the real needs of the Council. Our sources of income for 1956 have been the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest,Independent FinanceCampaigns in Crittenden and Mississippi Districts,interest on certain endowments and capital funds, appropriations from funds raised by Council activities and the Sustaining Membership Program. During the month of August, under the leadership of the Finance Committee, the Council conducted the "Business Sponsor Program" to encourage the flow of financial support of the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest by the business firms of the city having less than fifteen employees. We hope to broaden this program next year. Our books of account are audited by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company, Certified Public Accountants. Expenditures are made in accordance with budget alloca.tions made by the appropriate operating co1mnittees, and approved by the Finance Comm:i.ttee and the Executive Board. HEALTH & SAFETY COMMIT'rEE 1. Protecting Scouts: The H & S Committee made two inspection trips to Camp Currier and checked cabins and equipment, waterfront, water supply, fire hazards, and latrines. Hazardous wiring and trees were eliminated, Letters were sent to all Units concerning Health & Safety measures concerning their cabins. There were also two inspections of Kamp Kia Kima, one prior to and one during camp operations, 2. Preparing Scouts: The Council had twenty counselors in the aquatics subjects and thirty public service (i,e, first-aid and firemanship) counselors serving the boys of our Council. 3. Educating Scouts: Most District activities were protected by trained Explorer service teams to give treatment and education in safety measures. Most Unit meeting places were inspected by the Scouts and the District Health & Safety Committee, ~---------- ·---------·---- ---·------- �LEADERSHIP TRAINING COMMI TTEE 1956 has been an exceptional year for the Leadership Training Committee.

And today, with a cane, he WALKED to his job on two limbs, Every day your Scouts of Chickasa w Council are helping to put men on their feet at Goodwil l. Through the 1956 collecti ons drive, your 10 000 bags of discarde d materia ls mean approxim ately a $25 1 000 service to these people. Especia lly at this Christm as season, we want to thank you and everyone who particip ated in the splendid Good Turn Day. Sincere ly yours, M. L. McPheron Executiv e Directo r MLMcP: jl �CAMPING AFD ACTIVITIES COMM~ During the past year it was the aim of the Committee to carry through on a program which would fit all age groups - Cubs, scouts, Explorers and to establish such procedures as would develop good program in the Unit. Activities held on a Council and District level include Boy scout Week, Camporee, Rendezvous, Explorer Opposum Hunt, Good Turn Day, Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up Parade and Fire Prevention Week. The Scout Show and Circus was held in May. Your Committee feels that the Unit Leaders have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated on their fine accomplishment in leading their boys into the great out-of-doors. We are proud to say that more Uni ts have gone to camp under their own leadership this year than ever before. We feel that you will be very gratified to know that camping is on the upgrade in Chickasaw Council and that more boys are participating each year. Interest in camping at Kamp Kia Ki ma is shown by the fact that 47 Uni ts have already made reservations for 1957. Camp Currier was operated this year for one week as a pilot camp. We now plan to operate Camp Currier for two weeks in 19 57. Splendid progress was made in 1956 in bringing Units to camp under their own leadership which is the Scout way of camping, Seventy-four (74) Units attended long term oamp under their own leadership. Five thousand five hundred and thirty (5530) scouts camped at Call!P currier during 1956. Two long distance Explorer activities were held this summer. The Canadian Canoe Expedition took six Explorers and leaders through the Canadian Lakes north of Ely, Minnesota, Thirty-three ( 33) Explorers under Council leadership participated in a two weeks expedition to Philmont S;Jout Ranch in New Mexico. The Second Annual Air Encall!Pment for our Negro Explorers was held at the Memphis Air Base in November. Fifty-nine ( 59) Explorers participated in the encampment. The Regional Naval Air Encampment was held at NAS, Millington in September. Eleven hundred ( llOO) Explorers from Region V took part in this program. On October 27, the Cubs, scouts, and Explorers joined hands in Good Turn Day to the Goodwill Industries. Over 10 ,000 bags of repairable clothing was collected ey the boys. According to Goodwill Industries, this Good Turn ey the boys will provide approximately nine weeks of employment for the 85 handicapped people at Goodwill. Your Committee feels that 1957 will be a year of quality program for every boy r egi stared in our counci 1.

BLDG. MEMPHIS 3, TENN. Mqv 31, 1956 To the Budget Committee of the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest, 210 Madison Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee, We present herewith our request for participation in the Memphis and Shelby County Community Ohest, 1957, on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America in Memphis and Shelby County. We arc proud of tho fact that our program is available to all boys regard,.. l ess of race, creed, color, or social or financial status. Our well-rounded program which has been provided during past years has brought Scouting at its best to an increasing number of boys. We include here facts which we think will indicate to you that the money which has been provided by the Community Chest has been used wisely and efficiently in carrying out our responsibilities to the community. However the lack cf funds has prevented us from accomplishing as much as we should in a rapidly growing city and area. We have projoct~d our plans through 1959 as reflected by the manpower charts. The six operating committees made a detailed study of the needs of the Council and after approximately 960 manhours of volunteer time developed the detailed budget enclosed. A lesser program would not meet tho needs of the boys in the Council area. A careful study of our Four Year Plan will convince you that our r equested budget i s neces~ary. We thank you for your study of this plan and await your approval. ' Respectifully Submitted, Harry Williams Finance Chairman R. D. Fuller Presidont W. Gordon Morris Scout Executi vo Next to the home, church, and school, the Boy Scouts of America is recognized by leading citizens as the greatest deterrent to crime and juvenile delinquency. The Honorable Edmund Orgill and the Honorable Walter Chandler, Mayors of Memphis,'in a joint letter of December 30, 1955, point out these facts. Copy attached. Tho need for more Scouting is apparent in certain areas of our city and adjoining territory as evidenced by tho fact that Commissioner Annour and his Department Chiefs have joined forces with us in promoting additional Units to elevate tho increasing juvonilo delinquency. Mr. H. M. Bizzcl, juvonilo probation officer in Crittendon County, said, "Delinquency rose 88 percent in Crittenden County last year, Many of those involved Memphis boys - - especially in oar thofts. 11 Juvenile Court Judge Elizabeth McCain recently said, 11Mrnnphis Juvenile Court handled 1256 delinquent complaints in 1950; 2000 in 1954, and 2,500 in 1955. Those do not include many traffic offcnses, 11 Mr, Joe Brunton, Jr., who investigated juvenile delinquency in Now York for thc>.t st<Cto said, 11 A youngster started on tho wrong track may cost tho stato in oxcoss of $60,000, in addition to a loss of a potentially worthy life. This of course refers to tho cost over several years of trying to rehabilitate and· rostoro to society a youngster who gets in difficulty in his fonnetivo years. Actually, tho annuP.l cost of procossing·and.institutionalizing a boy or girl in·troublo runs to an annual cost of $1,800. to in some instances as much P.S $7,000. or $8,000." In our own sto.te of Tonnessee the cost of keeping a boy at the Ste.to Vocational Training School at Jordonia whore white juvenile delinquents are.sent and the State Vocational Training School at Pikeville, for Negro boys, ·will not approach.tho Now York figure, but will average approximately $1000. per boy per year. Tho actual cost at Jordonia is $1200. per boy per year. Mr. Prigmore, superintendent of this institution, said that they used Scouting to rohabilito.to their boys and that thoy have four Scout Units in full operation at tho present time. Tho Scouting Program is carried out by trainod volunteers, Those volunteer are trained by professional Scoutors to organize new Units, soc thnt they have sound financial background, that they participate in camping and other activitic that their mooting plHces arc ndequato and safe and that tho boy advances in Scout skills, Scout spirit and leadership. Tho following pages will give you tho general picture of tho potential of Scouting in Chickasaw Council~ (Jffice of Walter ChanclJ.er MalfOr SE AL COH~iI SS! vN GOVER1IM:iliT Memphis, Tenn, December 30, 1955 Our city has the distinction of being first as the cleanest city, the quietest city and the safest from fire, We have now entered into a "Forward Mempni s Program" and we are of the opinion that every citizen will want to include in that program the training of our boys f'or better citizenship, For many yee.rs the Jlloy scout Movement in Memphis has provided an outstanding program for a larc;e ntunber of our boys thereqy setting up a strong deterrent to jiwenile clelinq_uency. The Scout Program has served well in its responsibility as supplying a parallel to the work done on bohelf' of' our boys in the homes, the churches and the schools, Out city is faced now with a tremendous "Boy Crop. 11 This "Boy Crop" has outgrown the present adl.11. t leader ship. Additional volunteer workers a.re necessary to continue to servo even tho present porcentac;e of tho boys available who want to be in Scouting, We know of no finer wey in which our citizens can be of assistance in the building of' our city than qy giving their time, effort end support to tho program 6f tho Boy scouts of America through tho Memphis Chickasaw Council, By so doing wo can then bo assured the.t the mtlo ci tizons of tomorrow will bo man of exceptionally fine leadership. In combined agreement wo hLvo signed our names and caused the Saal of tho City of Memphis to be affixed this ::Oth day of December, 1955, /s/ Wal tor ChanclJ. er Meyor, City Of Memphis Edmund Orgill Mayor Elect REPURT CF CPERATiilG CC!i~HTTEES The Organization and Extension Committee is charged with the responsibility of organizing new Cub Packs, Scout Troops and Explorer Units, and, assisting in the reregistration of existing Units, At this date, the committee has organized thirty-six new Units and reregistered one hundred thirty Uni ts. At the present time there are fifty-three institutions that we have been unable to organize due to the lack of manpower which means lack of money. The Leadership Training Committee is responsible for the instruction and inspiration of all Adult scouters, This year eleven Scouters will go to Philir.ont scout Ranch in New Mexico, at their own e:x;pense, in order to receive further training that they may pass on here. The Woodbadge Course, international t"lfpe training, will be held at Krunp Kia Kima in August. To date, during 1956 we have trained 390 scouters which is the largest number of trainees and courses held in any similar period. The Camping and Activities Committee maintains camps and provides special events. Camp reservations at Kamp have been so great that it has been necessary to opan Camp Currier for ona week this year and for four weeks next year. At the present time, May 1956, nearly half of the available space at Kamp Kia Kima for the summer 1957 has been taken. At our present rate of growth in camping, it will be necessary to procure additional camping area qy 1959, The Heal th and Safety Commi tteo inspects campsi tos, meeting places, swimming facilities and other hazardous locations in which boys might be placed in ds.nger. This committee is responsi blc for the cooperation of tho Council with emergency agencies of the council area. This year the committee has secured an emergency service truck that will bo available with trained porsonnol to assist in community disaster anywhere in the council area, The Advancement Commi ttoe in business could be called "quality control" Under the guidance of this committee The Goldsmith Family has established a four year college scholarship for an Eagle scout or an Explorer holding the Silver Award, This commi ttoe has presented four oi tations to scouts who have stwed lives • It he,s sponsored one candidate to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition and one candidate for the James E. West Conservation Scholarship. From JanuLry through April, our volumn of business has been moro than tho entire yegr 1955, Tho Finance Committee is charged with tho responsibility of developill{; a detailed budget satisf2.ctory to the Council Exocuti vo Board, rv.ising tho nocossai:y money and supervising tho expenditures, In developing tho enclosed budget a modest increase in salary is includod, This is necessary to kcop tho trained personnel th~.t wo have and attre.ct o.dditional personnel that wo need, Wo had difficulty roplEtcing one mE>.n \'.ho resigned ten months ago o.nd we have just lost one of our best men to another council.

Activities held on a Council and District level include Boy Scout Week, Camporee, Rendezvous, :Explorer Oppo sum Hunt, Good Turn Day, Clean-Up, Paint-U'p, Fix-U'p Parade and Fire Prevention Week. The Scout Show and Circus was held in May. Your Committee feels that the Unit Leaders have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated on their fine accomplishment in leading their boys into the great out-of-doors. We are proud to say that more Units have gone to camp under their own leadership this year than ever before. We feel that you will be very gratified to know that camping is on the upgrade in Chickasaw Council and that more boys are participating each year, Interest in camping at Kamp Kia Kima is shown by the fact that 47 Uni ts have already made reservations for 1957, Camp Currier was operated this year for one week as a pilot camp. We now plan to operate Camp Currier for two weeks in 19 57. Splendid progress was made in 1956 in bringing Units to camp under their own leadership which is the scout way of camping, Seventy-four ( 74) Units attended long term camp under their own leadership. Five thousand five hundred and thirty (5530) Scouts camped at Camp Currier during 1956, Two long distance Explorer activities were held this summer, The Canadian Canoe Expedition took six Explorers and leaders through the Canadian Lakes north of Ely, Minnesota. Thirty-three ( 33) Explorers under Council leadership participated in a two weeks expedition to Philmont &:out Ranch in New Mexico. The Second Annual Air Encampment for our Negro :Explorers was held at the Memphis Air Base in November, Fifty-nine ( 59) Explorers participated in the encampment, The Regional Naval Air Encampment was held at NAS, Millington in September. Eleven hundred (1100) Explorers from Region V took part in this program. On October 27, the Cubs, scouts, and Explorers joined hands in Good Turn Dew to the Goodwill Industries. Over 10 ,000 bags of repairable clothing was collected by the boys. According to Goodwill Industries, this Good Turn ey the boys will provide approximately nine weeks of employment for the 85 handicapped people at Goodwill, Your Committee feels that 1957 will be a year of quality program for every boy registered in our Council, ·-----------~ I NCORPORATED MEMO ER AGENCY MEMPH I S CO MMUNI TY CHEST 94 No .

And today, with a cane, he WALKED to his job on two limbs. Every day your Scouts of Chickasaw Council are helping to put men on their feet at Goodwill. Through the 1956 collections drive, your 10 000 bags of discarded materials mean approximately a $25,000 service to these pc:ople. Especially at this Christmas season, we want to thank you and everyone who participated in the splendid Good Turn Day. MLMcP:jl Sincerely yours, M. L.

I EI.NANCE COMMITTEE The Chickasaw Council is entirely free of debt, as it has been the policy for many years to spend only those funds which were in hand. The job of our Finance Committee is three fold. First, building the budget, second, developing sources of income and third, supervising expenditures of all Council funds. In May, 1956, under the leadership of our Finance Committee, our Council held its first full scale Budget Planning Conference and planned a budget for 1957 based upon the real needs of the Council. Our sources of income for 1956 have been the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest,Independent FinanceCampaigns in Crittenden and Mississippi Districts,interest on certain endowments and capital funds, appropriations from funds raised by Council activities and the Sustaining Membership Program. During the month of August, under the leadership of the Finance Committee, the Council conducted the "Business Sponsor Program" to encourage the flow of financial support of the Memphis and Shelby County Community Chest by the business firms of the city having less than fifteen employees. We hope to broaden this program next year. Our books of account are audited by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company, Certified Public Accountants. Expenditures are made in accordance with budget alloca.tions made by the appropriate operating co1mnittees, and approved by the Finance Comm:i.ttee and the Executive Board. HEALTH & SAFETY COMMIT'rEE 1. Protecting Scouts: The H & S Committee made two inspection trips to Camp Currier and checked cabins and equipment, waterfront, water supply, fire hazards, and latrines. Hazardous wiring and trees were eliminated, Letters were sent to all Units concerning Health & Safety measures concerning their cabins. There were also two inspections of Kamp Kia Kima, one prior to and one during camp operations, 2. Preparing Scouts: The Council had twenty counselors in the aquatics subjects and thirty public service (i,e, first-aid and firemanship) counselors serving the boys of our Council. 3. Educating Scouts: Most District activities were protected by trained Explorer service teams to give treatment and education in safety measures. Most Unit meeting places were inspected by the Scouts and the District Health & Safety Committee, ~---------- ·---------·-------·------- LEADERSHIP TRAINING COMMI TTEE 1956 has been an exceptional year for the Leadership Training Committee. Our achievements have been both te.ngi ble and inte.ngi ble. We are pleased with the achievements listed below as well as our progress towards one hundred per cent trained Unit Leaders.

TENN. ----------- M. L, McPHERON, Executive Director December 13, 1956 Dear Scouter: Two days ago a one-legged man leaned on his crutches while working at his clothes presser at Goodwill Industries, Yesterday he used only one crutch. And today, with a cane, he WALKED to his job on two limbs, Every day your Scouts of Chickasaw Council are helping to put men on their feet at Goodwill. Through the 1956 collections drive, your 10 000 bags of discarded materials mean approximately a $25 1 000 service to these people. Especially at this Christmas season, we want to thank you and everyone who participated in the splendid Good Turn Day. MLMcP: jl Sincerely yours, M. L. McPheron Executive Director CAMPING AFD ACTIVITIES COMM~ During the past year it was the aim of the Committee to carry through on a program which would fit all age groups - Cubs, scouts, Explorers and to establish such procedures as would develop good program in the Unit. Activities held on a Council and District level include Boy scout Week, Camporee, Rendezvous, Explorer Opposum Hunt, Good Turn Day, Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up Parade and Fire Prevention Week. The Scout Show and Circus was held in May. Your Committee feels that the Unit Leaders have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated on their fine accomplishment in leading their boys into the great out-of-doors. We are proud to say that more Uni ts have gone to camp under their own leadership this year than ever before. We feel that you will be very gratified to know that camping is on the upgrade in Chickasaw Council and that more boys are participating each year. Interest in camping at Kamp Kia Ki ma is shown by the fact that 47 Uni ts have already made reservations for 1957. Camp Currier was operated this year for one week as a pilot camp. We now plan to operate Camp Currier for two weeks in 19 57. Splendid progress was made in 1956 in bringing Units to camp under their own leadership which is the Scout way of camping, Seventy-four (74) Units attended long term oamp under their own leadership. Five thousand five hundred and thirty (5530) scouts camped at Call!P currier during 1956. Two long distance Explorer activities were held this summer. The Canadian Canoe Expedition took six Explorers and leaders through the Canadian Lakes north of Ely, Minnesota, Thirty-three ( 33) Explorers under Council leadership participated in a two weeks expedition to Philmont S;Jout Ranch in New Mexico. The Second Annual Air Encall!Pment for our Negro Explorers was held at the Memphis Air Base in November. Fifty-nine ( 59) Explorers participated in the encampment. The Regional Naval Air Encampment was held at NAS, Millington in September. Eleven hundred ( llOO) Explorers from Region V took part in this program. On October 27, the Cubs, scouts, and Explorers joined hands in Good Turn Day to the Goodwill Industries. Over 10 ,000 bags of repairable clothing was collected ey the boys. According to Goodwill Industries, this Good Turn ey the boys will provide approximately nine weeks of employment for the 85 handicapped people at Goodwill. Your Committee feels that 1957 will be a year of quality program for every boy r egi stared in our counci 1.
