THE LAST trace of a cool May night hangs over the meadow and its 20 Webelos campsites like a persistent guest, reluctant to leave a party that's obviously over. The sweet, hickory odor of cooked bacon and wild honeysuckle permeates the crisp air. It's the beginning of a day full of promise, the kind of day you'd expect from a soft, Mississippi spring morning. Lined up in smart-looking rows and arrayed in immacu late uniforms, Den 4, Pack 248 from Memphis, stands at attention while Den Chief Ca rl Mangum carefully inspects each boy. Satisfied with their appearance, he gives a signal. Six young voices suddenly shatter the morning quiet as effectively as cannon fire. "Den4, Den4, We 're number one. 46 lfwe can'tdoit, It can't be done!" Flung into the morning air like a gauntlet, other Webelos dens quickly take up the challenge. "Two, four, six, eight, 506 is really great!" "Hey!Hey! Rah! Rah! Rah! Who are we? Can't ;•ou see? Den J ••• Pack 505!" "We're250. Couldn't be prouder. Ifyou can't hear us, We'll yell a little louder!" h 's a jarring blend of simplistic rhymes and piercing screams. But then, the den yell has never claimed a melodic purpose. Its strong suit is raising sp iri ts. And it works. A noticeable increase in enthusiasm nows through the campsites like a high tide. The 158 Webelos Scouts, 68 dads and Cub Scout leaders gathered there will ride thecrestofthatenthusiasm the rest of the day. The scene is Camp Currier, near Hernando, Miss., 15 miles south of Memphis, where the Southwest District of the Chickasaw Council is holding its spring father-and-son Webelos Encampment. It's a JO-year-old grass roots district tradition that owes 100 percent of its inspiration and success to volunteer leadership. It was in the late sixties when Buddy Newton. a former Cubmaster and then a round table commissioner for the Southwest District, noticed the Webelos proOctober 1980 Sco111i11g �Memphis area Webelos Scouts and dads test their camping skills to help hurdle the gap between Cub and Boy Scouting.

"A t the time. the Webelos program permitted o ne camp-out a }Ca r and nobody took advantage of even 1ha 1 one opportunity. Something needed to be done. So I came up with th e idea of an encampmen t. and I put 1t down on paper. ··The basic idea was to get the leaders and the boys and th e dads ou t fo r a weekend of fun, and at the sa me time upgrade the Webelos program. We took the 15 activi ty badges th a t th e boys work o n in Webelos Scouting and offered instructio n in as many as we co uld so they 47 �ln1helmesi\1ies Budd1Ne111011 (h~/iJ. a ro1md1t1ble commissioner. dreumed up 1heid1?ao/1he It 'ehelos £11campme111.

We wanted it to be a fun weekend," The professional Scoulers in the Chickasaw Council were Jess certain about the proposal. Tom Moore, director of support services for the council and a former district executive in 1970 when Buddy Newton presented his idea, was hesitant. "Quite truthfully," Moore admits, "I was apprehensive about the idea, because I saw it as a Cub Scout camporee. My fim thought was it wouldn't go over very well. because we would be trying to introduce lhe Scouting program to Cub Scouts before they were ready for it. But the volunteers dispelled oome of my fears by showing me what they basically had in mind was an instruCllon program designed for Webelos Scouts to earn activity badges." Even with council approval, Buddy still faced the problem of drumming up support among Cub packs. He knew he only had one shot at success. If the first effort didn't come off, then the encampment would probably be shelved as a good idea that didn't work out. "There were 25 Cub Scout packs in the Southwest District at the time ," Newton recalls, "and we visited all 25 of them, personally. We talked to every Cubmaster and explained the encampment idea , when it was going to be, and even gave them a registration form to fill out." It was eye-to-eye contact, and it paid off. The first encampment was an overwhelming success with 125 boys in attendance. "So the first encampment came off, virtually withoul a hitch." Tom Moore says. "Everyone seemed to enjoy it. So, I thought, 'Good! It came off well, they got to do their thing, and everybody's happy.' "Then lo and behold, they came back the next year and wanted to do it again. So, 48 I asked. 'Are ya' ll planning on making this a)earlyevent'!' "'And they said. ' Wh y not? It was successful. People enjoyed it. We got kids advancing out of it.' "Everything they said was true. and it was all positive. So we held a second encampment. "Then they came back again and said, 'The Boy Scouts do it twice a year. spring and fall. Why don't we do it twice a yea r'!' So, in 1972 they started holding th e encampment twi~c a yea r, and it's been that wayeversmce. The father and son encampment broke new ground m a larger sense, too. It's considered the first district-wide Webelos encampment ever held in this country. Today, the praise from professionals is lavish. "Other districts began to picl up on the idea," Moore says. "'Every district in the council has made it part of their program. "It's a snowball that's begun to roll. and it JUSt keeps ge11ing bigger. It has done more to pull together the Webelos program in this council than anything else."

THE LAST trace of a cool May night hangs over the meadow and its 20 Webelos campsites like a persistent guest, reluctant to leave a party that's obviously over. The sweet, hickory odor of cooked bacon and wild honeysuckle permeates the crisp air. It's the beginning of a day full of promise, the kind of day you'd expect from a soft, Mississippi spring morning. Lined up in smart-looking rows and arrayed in immacu late uniforms, Den 4, Pack 248 from Memphis, stands at attention while Den Chief Ca rl Mangum carefully inspects each boy. Satisfied with their appearance, he gives a signal. Six young voices suddenly shatter the morning quiet as effectively as cannon fire. "Den4, Den4, We 're number one. 46 lfwe can'tdoit, It can't be done!" Flung into the morning air like a gauntlet, other Webelos dens quickly take up the challenge. "Two, four, six, eight, 506 is really great!" "Hey!Hey! Rah! Rah! Rah! Who are we? Can't ;•ou see? Den J ••• Pack 505!" "We're250. Couldn't be prouder. Ifyou can't hear us, We'll yell a little louder!" h 's a jarring blend of simplistic rhymes and piercing screams. But then, the den yell has never claimed a melodic purpose. Its strong suit is raising sp iri ts. And it works. A noticeable increase in enthusiasm nows through the campsites like a high tide. The 158 Webelos Scouts, 68 dads and Cub Scout leaders gathered there will ride thecrestofthatenthusiasm the rest of the day. The scene is Camp Currier, near Hernando, Miss., 15 miles south of Memphis, where the Southwest District of the Chickasaw Council is holding its spring father-and-son Webelos Encampment. It's a JO-year-old grass roots district tradition that owes 100 percent of its inspiration and success to volunteer leadership. It was in the late sixties when Buddy Newton. a former Cubmaster and then a round table commissioner for the Southwest District, noticed the Webelos proOctober 1980 Sco111i11g Memphis area Webelos Scouts and dads test their camping skills to help hurdle the gap between Cub and Boy Scouting.

"A t the time. the Webelos program permitted o ne camp-out a }Ca r and nobody took advantage of even 1ha 1 one opportunity. Something needed to be done. So I came up with th e idea of an encampmen t. and I put 1t down on paper. ··The basic idea was to get the leaders and the boys and th e dads ou t fo r a weekend of fun, and at the sa me time upgrade the Webelos program. We took the 15 activi ty badges th a t th e boys work o n in Webelos Scouting and offered instructio n in as many as we co uld so they 47 ln1helmesi\1ies Budd1Ne111011 (h~/iJ. a ro1md1t1ble commissioner. dreumed up 1heid1?ao/1he It 'ehelos £11campme111.

We wanted it to be a fun weekend," The professional Scoulers in the Chickasaw Council were Jess certain about the proposal. Tom Moore, director of support services for the council and a former district executive in 1970 when Buddy Newton presented his idea, was hesitant. "Quite truthfully," Moore admits, "I was apprehensive about the idea, because I saw it as a Cub Scout camporee. My fim thought was it wouldn't go over very well. because we would be trying to introduce lhe Scouting program to Cub Scouts before they were ready for it. But the volunteers dispelled oome of my fears by showing me what they basically had in mind was an instruCllon program designed for Webelos Scouts to earn activity badges." Even with council approval, Buddy still faced the problem of drumming up support among Cub packs. He knew he only had one shot at success. If the first effort didn't come off, then the encampment would probably be shelved as a good idea that didn't work out. "There were 25 Cub Scout packs in the Southwest District at the time ," Newton recalls, "and we visited all 25 of them, personally. We talked to every Cubmaster and explained the encampment idea , when it was going to be, and even gave them a registration form to fill out." It was eye-to-eye contact, and it paid off. The first encampment was an overwhelming success with 125 boys in attendance. "So the first encampment came off, virtually withoul a hitch." Tom Moore says. "Everyone seemed to enjoy it. So, I thought, 'Good! It came off well, they got to do their thing, and everybody's happy.' "Then lo and behold, they came back the next year and wanted to do it again. So, 48 I asked. 'Are ya' ll planning on making this a)earlyevent'!' "'And they said. ' Wh y not? It was successful. People enjoyed it. We got kids advancing out of it.' "Everything they said was true. and it was all positive. So we held a second encampment. "Then they came back again and said, 'The Boy Scouts do it twice a year. spring and fall.

On staff at the site, just south of Memphi s, Ten n., were a ca rdiologist, a general practi tioner, a nd a pediatrician (even though it was an all -adu lt session). After a few days with these 90 seemingly-ec- centric Scouters, I began to feel that perhaps they should have swapped the pediatrician fo r a psychiatrist. Here's why. I was minding everyone's business, as a goo d jo urn a li st shou ld , when along stro ll s this nea tl y-o utfitted Scouter- Smokey Bear hat, shorts, the works-a day pack on his back . But instead of it bearing stuff like a trail lunch, map, compass, a nd Scout book, peering from the pack's mouth was a plush, st uffed bear with white eyebrows. Methusa lch, the Scouter called him . " Wh at's go in g on?" I wondered. A short time later a patrol of likewise mature, sensible- looki ng leaders hiked by, dressed as if th ey'd just stepped from the BSA cata log. It was only when the single file weaved away down the trail that I noticed that each wore a n 18-i nch-long foxtail centered at the rear of hi s or her belt. To to p it off, next mo rning, th e Sunday before Easter, I flipped open my tent naps to find a trail uf colored, plastic eggs lead ing across the ca mp into Phil Gilmer's tent. Moments later I hea rd Phil exclaim, "Oh, no! Where did all these things come from? " The " bunn y" had filled Gilmer's boots with more eggs. When Phil Gilmer, the Mem ph isbased cou ncil training chai rma n, had stopped laughing, he assured me that thi s rea lly was a serious bunch, not a mob of escaped loonies. They were just ca rrying on the Wood Badge tradition of mixing business a nd play. " We fee l that you lea rn more when you're having fun ," he said. 36 October 1988 + Scouting �Even at Wood Badge training, Memphis-area Scouters believe you learn best when you're having fun. World Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell had expressed much the same years ago when he admonished Scouters, "Do not take things too seriously ... look on life as a game and the world as a playground." Evidently B-P's words fell on fertile Wood Badge fields. A few years ago, just as a gag , Robert Strickland started lugging around that stuffed bear. It drew so many laughs and such good-natured ribbing that he adopted the animal as his campground com- Wood Badge patrols. In the same vein , nicknames are be- stowed recklessly at Wood Badge. Often they stick for a lifetime. Course Director/Scoutmaster Jim Laycook 's buddies refer to him as ''Mickey, " a pseudonym earned at some long-past Wood Badge course. It seems Laycook was running late from work to get to camp, phoned to ask his wife to pack his gear, dashed home, picked it up, and headed for the woods. Once there he spread his bedScourit1g + Oc1ober 1988 37 �N~"· happens at Wood Badge that can't be taken home and used in a Boy Scout troop. roll only to find that wife Jane mistakenly had stashed away one of their kids' sleepover bags that bore printed pictures of Walt Disney's famous mouse. Because B-P knew well that his consumers, the boys of the world, loved pla:r; he engineered Scouting to achieve the serious aims of the movement with fun-filled methods. Yet the British war hero also realized that for Scouting to work as it should, there would have to be adult leaders who knew what they were doing . B-P stressed schooling in Scoutcraft and insti tuted basic training and then in England in 1919 the first Wood Badge advanced training course. Graduates of the latter course and subsequem ones worldwide, ranging from England's Oilwell Park to America's Schiff Scout Reservation , were awarded a leather thong strung with two wooden beads, the Wood Badge, as a symbol of their accomplishment. Though a simple recognition, the badge has been sought after with fervor. Its philosophy changed several times in its history, but today Wood Badge in the US.A . is an advanced training experience in leadership skills, troop operation, and Scout spirit. Spend a few days as guest observer or complete a Wood Badge course yourself (I've done both), and you feel spirit so thick that you could cleave it with a Scout ax. Scouting magazine decided to cover the Memphis Wood Badge session for several reasons: First, the council invited us ; we hadn' t done a Wood Badge story in a long time. Second, it was the 40th anniversary of the first Wood Badge course in the States, and this would be a raritytwo courses, SE-471 and SE-487 (SE for Southeast Region) , would be going on simultaneously at the same camp. Besides, we'd never done a weekend course story before, and about 75 percent of all US.A. courses take place over three weekends as opposed to week-long courses. While staff serve as coach, counselor, father/ mother figure, and confessor, Scouter-participants at the beginning of the course feet less than lovi ng toward their advisers. Course 471 Senior Patrol Leader Jim Huls tells you, "The opening weekend may be the toughest. We purposely make it that to give these adults the same feeling their Scouts have when those kids attend their first camp-out-tired, confused, lonely." Reality is that the entire Wood Badge course simulates a typical, well -run troop operation with adult-participants playing the parts of Boy Scouts. Hopefully, the participants realize that when someone like Committee Member Curtis Jeans talks to the gang about .. controlling the group" and the other nine leadership sk ills, the Scouters will learn those skills so they can implement them back home. As Phil Gilmer says, .. We don't do anything here that you can't take back and use immediately in your troop. " A typical day at a Wood Badge course is crammed full of action as should be the day at any Boy Scout troop camp-out. The Scouters, unlike youth members, realize that they' re here 38 Oc1ober 1988 '*' Scouti11g primarily to learn. While there are some personality conflicts, most get along well with each other. And that's no accident. Using profile sheets filled out by participants, the staff went to great pains to achieve a patrol mix of different backgrounds, ages, occupations, etc. A lumberman's breakfast stokes up the Scouters because Wood Badge gals and guys are constantly on lhe go. Staffers used to be guests al every patrol meal. But Course Scoutmaster Bob Yahola believes that "The participants and staff need a break from each other. That's why staff eat their breakfast in the staff area, the participants eat in patrol dining areas." And a hearty meal it is, something like a steamy eggs-potatoes-cheese casserole whipped up in Course 487 by outdoor gourmet cook, SPL Dr. Jim Stanford. Camp routine includes morning instruction periods in a leadership skill and in basic camp lore like first aid, game leading, campfires, lowimpact camping. There's always a later opportunity to test how well the patrol soaked up the instruction. For example, take the second weekend pioneering project at Course 471 's campsite. Staff counselor Jason Hood suggested to the Eagle Patrol what seemed like a neat gadget, a selfclosing camp gate to be lashed together from plans taken from a Boy Scout Program Helps booklet. It involved a smidgen of ingenuity a nd a heavy dose of basic lashings learned at a previous session. By the time the project was finished , Memphis Troop 459 Assistant Scoutmaster and Wood Badge Eagle Patrol Member Steve Vaughn was able to say, .. I sure know more about lashings than when I started." While he may never become a Pioneering merit badge counselor, he will be able to teach his Scouts how to organize their own projects and how to tie lhe square lashing and basic knots. Most Wood Badge Scouters complete the course feeling it was three weekends and two mid-course patrol meetings well spent. Mike Mullins, an assistant Scoutmaster in Troop 51 , Memphis, Course 487 , found other payoffs: "I enjoyed the people here and made some good friends-and maybe even some good business connections." Jim Huls believes trainees don' t appreciate until later the true value of Wood Badge. " It's great training in working with people and using time wisely. I've been to professional leadership seminars, but I haven' t found any that offer training as good as Wood Badge." As a sort of "final exam," each entire Wood Badge troop on the Saturday of its last weekend joins in an Adventure Trail wilh " hurdles" or obstacles that tax lheir basic woods wisdom and how well the patrol works together. Always popular is the Maze, a course that each patrol follows blindfolded, one hand on a length of twine that runs from one tree to the next and on, the other hand on the belt of the patrol mate in line ahead.

US. SAVINGS BONDS~ Paying Better Than Ever ~ - 70 patrol camps out in a different campsite than their usual one, usually packing all gear on their backs. That last day is a particularly long one highlighted by the Wood Badge feast, with culinary masterworks you'd never imagine possible cooked over camp fires -wild rice and chicken, barbecued quail, southern-fried catfish, cobblers and cakes of every flavor. Troop 471 's Bobwhites will never stop talking about the visiting raccoon that invaded their campsite during most weekends. On that last day the little rascal hauled off a six-pound beef roast to his den . Someone suggested raccoon stew as a substitute but thar might violate the Outdoor Code they all pledged to observe. So Quartermaster Rick Riley dashed back into the nearby town of Hernando and bought another piece of meat. An important last item of business was finished when Wood Badge trainees submitted the final version of their " ticket." This is simply a commitment the Scouters put in writing. It promises they will use what they've learned during Wood Badge back in their home councils, districts, and units. " One great value of the ' ticket, ' " says Bob Yahola, " is that it forces people to carry through on their Scoutingjob. How I can you expect a boy to continue to Star or Life or Eagle rank if his leaders don't follow through? " The ticket consists of three parts: service to others, goals, and perso nal growth. All staffers, including coachcounselor/committee members assigned to patrols during the camp, serve as ticket counselors. For some participants, the ticket is the hardest part of the entire course. It is both a test of how well the trainees have learned and how welJ the staff has taught. Not lightly treated, it's required to earn the Wood Badge beads. Trainees must complete it no sooner than six months and no later than November 30 of the second year following the "practical (outdoor) training." To help participants choose "service to others" and "goals" projects, the Chickasaw Council publishes a "ticket consideration list. " This suggests tasks like serving on Boy Scout leader basic or junior leader training faculties, or adopting a troop that doosn't camp often and taking it for a weekend in the woods. The "goals" part of the ticket aims at improving unit performance, such as increasing troop attendance at summer camp or helping the unit earn the Quality October 1988 + Scouting Troop Award. " Personal growth" helps the trainee realize some of his or her shortcomings and maps a path to overcome those deficiencies. Young Jim Strickland with Course 471 recalled how successful a certain event was when he was a Scout back in New Jersey. " The Webelos Woods weekend was always well attended. But it hasn't yet caught on in this council. I'd like to help organize an event like that. I th.ink it would help us graduate more Webelos Scouts to Boy Scouting." Sammie Gilmer, another Eagle of "471," has worked at training almost as long as has husband Phil. "I've agreed in my ticket to help council trainers teach the Scoutmastership Fundamentals course. That' ll be one of my 'service to others' projects. One 'goal' I hope to accomplish is to update my home Troop 256's files. I think I can reorganize them in such a way that it will help the troop treasurer. "One of my 'personal growth' pledges is to become more proficient in knots," Sammie Gilmer continued. "To get to the point where I can instruct new Scouts in ropework so they'll be ready for summer camp." Not too surprisingly, the percentage of Wood Badge Scouters who complete the triple-header ticket is high. "About 80 to 85 percent of our Scouters finish all parts of the ticket, " says Course Director Jim Laycook. By early evening of the final hours most patrols have rolled up their tents, cleared fire circles, and scoured the last scraps of food from pots. Far from the bright lights of Memphis, 20 miles northward, one sees myriad stars twinkling brightly. Orion hangs directly overhead, poised to move toward the western horizon. Silently the patrols saunter for the last time to the campfire circle. These are memorable moments as the Scouters recite the Scout Promise, hug each other in parting, and then head homewardwhere now the real work begins. • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

That may sound impossible, but it has been clone at the Chickasaw Council's annual Special Needs Jambm·ee, an event for special education students in Learning for Life groups from Memphis and Shelby County Schools. In the parking lot at Shelby Farms Showplace Arnna, council staff put together a plywood pool, eight feet wide, 96 feet long, and filled its blue plastic liner with foot-deep water. Marines from the Memphis Naval Air Station assisted passengers into two canoes, lifting some of the children from wheelchairs and placing them into the arms of their teachers and aides. They were off for a gentle ride, with Marines towing the canoes to the end of the pool and back. Vestibular timulation, special ed teachers call this expe1ience, having to do with equilibrium. From the looks on the children's faces, it was also a wonderful memory in the making, mber Rogers, 10, sec! sign language o express her deght after disembarking from her fu-st ride in a canoe. "I liked riding in the boat," she signed. Would she like to canoe on a river sometime? "No way!" For most of these students, the event has given them a unique chance to 1ide in a canoe. And that's the idea of the jamboree, to pack hands-on samples of outdoor fun, adventure, and life skills into one morning for physically- and mentally-challenged students. It acids another dimension to the Learning for Life expe1iences in their classrooms, and it's also a way to spark boys' 46 Meeting Some Special Needs By Suzanne Wilson Photograph~byJim Kiinhl A Tennessee council's annual fun-filled event helps show specially-enabled youths what they can do.

From canoe tides and a petting zoo to midway games and outdoor skills, the jamboree provided new activities for children to discover, experience success, and unexpectedly fulfill some dreams. "As teachers, we get a kick out of watching them expeiiencing something brand new," said Pam Pigford, a teacher at Kingsbury Elementary School. "We're very grateful to the Scout council for giving our children the oppo1tunity." I W here else would they be invited to sit in the d1iver's seat of a mini-stock car? Race driver Teresa pellings answered questions about her fourcylinder Pinto, parked inside the arena. (The car is known as the St. Jude's Hospital car, and she donates a pmtion of her race winnings at the Memphis International Motor-spo1ts Park to the local children's hospital.) "Where's the horn?" one boy asked, smiling from behind the wheel. "We don't need a hom " ' Spellings answered, explaining that in a race drivers try to surp1ise their opponents when they pass them. 'Where are the ·windows?" "We don't have any. They might break." She showed him the \vindow net and safety belts. 1 H ow did the car get dented?" another youngster inquired.

Volunteer David Wiemru; past president of the , Optimist Club of Northeast ' Memphis, told the children, "If you're lost out on the street, you can push the operator button, \vithout a quruter, and get help." They lined up to try it, and, as promised, an operator answered. Volunteers from the South Central Bell Community Relations Team, stationed at phones at the top of the ru·Ema bleachers, took some imaginative calls involving robbe1ies and bm·ning houses. But many children talked about school, teachers, and jamboree activities. Dorothy Johnson, a Bell administrative assistant answering calls, sang "Happy Bitthday" to a boy named Bryan. In each call, volunteers reinforced the idea of dialing "O" to get help. "This yem· we're experimenting to see how we can improve our future operation," explained David Maxey, an assistant manager in public communications.

"The community is behind it,1' said Humphrey Folks, longtime council board member as well as vice president of administration. "Every year, we get more pa11:icipation. 11 Employees from his restaurant, Folk's Folly, assisted with games, and the restaurant also hosted a VIP refreshment station. Wendy's employees operated their "Wendy's Wacky Golf" activity, and WENCO Franchise Management, Inc., donated 1,500 lunches. Valvoline Instant Oil Change funded the rental of the arena and provided souvenir caps. And all morning, Larry Deweese, Valvoline regional development manager, and Curt Blilie, mru·keting representative for Region 5, assisted wherever they were needed. At a post-jamboree meeting each year, volunteers and teacher:; discuss how they can improve the next event. "It's really a kind of cumulative thing," explained Scouter Ken Robbins, in charge of outdoor ski ll s. "Somebody says, 'What if we can get the fire department out there?' So somebody contacts the fire department and next thing you know, we've got them. Each year we think of something else we can do." Robbins knew why the spirit of the jamboree draws volunteers back every fall : "Years ago I heard it said, 'If you help a kid climb a mountain, you have to get closer to the top yourself.' That says it all." While buses lined up to take everyone back to school, waiting children held hands with their high school guides.

Only one iroop has done any camping outside of ca.mp. :F'rom the abov-0, you can se~ wherein our d0ficion cy li~s. The boys arc inter~stod but, our leaders are not supporti ng th~m. It is a policy, that on these occasion s, each unit must havo a.n adult leader. So far, this :policy is not being carried Qut.

PUBLICITY Division is deeply indebted to the Memphis Jorld Newspaper for column 11 Scouting Among Our :Boys 11 in the Tuesday edition of its the printing publication. They have always hed space for the Scout news. This has been a great help in selling Scouting to the :people throughout the area in which we s9rve. vfe wish to thank tho officers of tho Memphis ,forld for thoir fine co ... operation. Aside f,rom printing our news, this paper has run special stories on Scouting. ~eminole The Prons ~cimitar and tho Commercial Appeal have both been most generous and cooperativQ in p~int~ng our news.

Jmy profession, movement or organiz.01.Uon which possesses a program involving a definite techniq_ue and, which ui; :'.lizes personel for the execution of these activities, must train its workc:i:-s ~o that they will become efficient. ;Few community leaders have a grt.:,:,t0r rospons"ibility.

J.n outdoor session was held in the Athletic Field of L0Moyn0 Collwge. :E if teen ·rroops were repres()nted, 190 boys were: prQsont with sixtvvn loaders. No advanc0ment was made, but the boys wore taught firebuilding and outdoor coo~ing. Another such session was hdd at :Fuller 1:>tato Pa.ri:.: with 50 boys present. There was . no adult ltiadvrship oxc~pt momb~rs of the Division staff. On November 29, 1946, 151 &couts were prosont at Camp Daniols ropr~sonting 17 Troops, thero were only two adult l~adurs at this affair and, again no advancement was made. Only one iroop has done any camping outside of ca.mp. :F'rom the abov-0, you can se~ wherein our d0ficioncy li~s. The boys arc inter~stod but, our leaders are not supporting th~m. It is a policy, that on these occasions, each unit must havo a.n adult leader. So far, this :policy is not being carried Qut. Tho committee hop0s that tho ensuing year will find us promoting these activities thereby giving our boys the benefit of the outdoor program.

They have always hed space for the Scout news. This has been a great help in selling Scouting to the :people throughout the area in which we s9rve. vfe wish to thank tho officers of tho Memphis ,forld for thoir fine co ... operation. Aside f,rom printing our news, this paper has run special stories on Scouting. The Prons ~cimitar and tho Commercial Appeal have both been most generous and cooperativQ in p~int~ng our news.

SR:IDLBY COUNTY ---- There are now 17 Negro Troops in Shelby County outside of Memphis. These Troops are doing good and plans are now being made for more advancement in 1948. The Commi~toe recommends that an effort be made for more advancement in the rural area and that Troops be organize~ in those areas that are not now being reached. SENIOR SCOUTil~G !!'his phaso of .scouting is entirely now to the Division. It is that part of Scouting designed to promote more and not"icr activities for the older boys ( 15 yearill and older). Th;.s y2e.r as an c.::;rporimon\~, an :hlxplorer Post was organized at tho Metropolitan :Saptis~ Cr:(1:rnh. 1fo ue hoping that this unit will be a model and, that in the near future, more such units will be organized. Jmy profession, movement or organiz.01.Uon which possesses a program involving a definite techniq_ue and, which ui; :'.lizes personel for the execution of these activities, must train its workc:i:-s ~o that they will become efficient. ;Few community leaders have a grt.:,:,t0r rospons"ibility. Advancement in Scouting is doterminod by leadership. Scv0ral times during tho yoar, tho doors of training were opened to all men 18 years of age and older, to bo trained specifically ·for the many problems that lie at~~ad.

Kima opens for le11 weeks of real outdoor activities for Memphis Scouts. For the first time in tl1e twelve years it has bee11 established, Kia Kima has been awarded a certificate as a Class "A'' (Excellent) Camp, the higl1est rating given by the National Department of Camping, Boy Scouts of America. Of the 5 38 Cow1cil Camps i11 the United States, ,only 69 camps, or approximately 12Y4 %, have been awarded Class ''A''. This is indeed a signl\l ho11or and speaks volumes for the untiring efforts of the Camp Committee to give Memphis Scouts a ca1np of which they may \Vell be proud. Location Kamp Kia Kima is situated on a rugged tract of 1 66 acres in the foothills of the Ozarks near Hardy, Ark. Its picturesque locatio11, overlooki11g the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, is ideal for camping, as the camp site is higl1, well drained and free from mosquitoes. Numerous arrowheads are found in the vicinity, i11dicati11g that this spot was favored by the Indians as a location for their wigwa1ns. ---o--- Leadership Believi11g the highest type of leadership is required in camping, Chickasa\v CoUI1cil l1as appointed its Scout Executive, W. Gordon Morris, to direct the activities of Kia Kima. The 11ew ''Chief'' is a11 honor graduate of the National Training School, B. S. A., B1~arcliff Manor, N . Y. and has had years of experience in Scouting and Ca1npi11g. This is the first time si11ce 1920 that an Exective has served as Camp Director, at1d under the able supervision of "Cluef'' Morris tlus should be an outstandi11g year at Kia Kima. The Council is exceedingly proud of the splendid staff of veteran Scouts ai1d Campers who will assist the ''Chief''. Most of the1n are Eagle Scouts and all of them have had 1011g experie11ce in Scouting, a11d Camping. The Associate Director will be Perry Bynum, of Southwestern. who will have charge of Handicraft a11d Activilies. James F. Bradley, Resident Physician, will supervise Camp Health and Sanitation, with Ed Peete as his assistant. Robert Taylor, for. three years a Life Guard at the M u1ucipal Swimming Pool, a11d t1ow a Junior at the University of Tennessee, College of Medicine, will be Director of Aquatic Spo1ts. Jimmy and Johru1y Hugl1es of Troop 5 and Billy Hughes of Troop 26 'vill be Tribe Leaders. He1uy Dinkelspiel, of the University of Michigan, will be Director of Dra1natics and Camp Fire Entertainment. Gerald Capers, of Southwestern, will be Cashier. ] oe Dalsh·om, of the University of Mississippi, will be Camp Quartermaster, and Billy Love will be Mess Sergeant The Camp is extremely fortunate in securing such outsta11ding leadersl1jp for the 1928 season. i �• • • • . • _ .- • _,,, -- ~ > Water Sports Swimming is probably the mosl popular of tl1e many aclivilies in camp. !11 sumJner there is very little current in the South Fork a11d the clear spri11g water is just the right lemperature to make bathing delightful. The large sandy beach is ideal for bathers and is only a stone's thro\V from Headquarte rs Lodge. "Every Scout a Swimmer'' is no idle slogan at Kia Kima and every boy "vill be shown how to take care of himself in the water. The greatest precautions are taken for absolute safety and no swimming is permitted except during the regular periods when expert Life Guards ai·e on duty. Tl1e ''Buddy'' system is used. This system is recommended by the National D epartment of Camping and requires that Scouts go u1to the water in pairs, remaining close enough together to touch each other '"henever called on to do so by a Life Guard or when the bell rings. This is a splendid safety measure, as each boy looks out for the welfare of his ''Buddy''. An area in shallow water is roped off for non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim. These Scouts will be given Swimmi11g instruct.ion by a Life Guard. Everyone 1n.ust demonstrate (to the satisfaction of a Life Guard) the ability lo swim fifty yards before beirig allowed in deep water. - - - o -- - Canoe ing �''THE BOY WHO HAS NEVER CAMPED HAS NOT YET BEGUN TO LIVE'' Equipm ent The Camp has a beautiful new Headquarte rs Lodge, donated this season by Mr. Edward M. Salomon, sixteen sto11e lodges, one of vvhich was donated this year by Dr. Max Coltman, a big airy Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and a well equipped Hospital provided with sho,ver bath. All are thoroughly screened. Each Lodge houses eight boys and each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy fell mattress. The Camp is supplied witl1 water from its own deep \Veil and every two V\'eek:; the water will be lested ~or pu1ity by a Memphis bacleriologisl. Runni11g waler is provided in the Mess Hall, H ospital and Visitors' Lodge. ---o~-- Visitor s Are Welco me A Visitors' Lodge is provided for Parents and for Scoutm asters and their V\1ves.

Saturday, June 1 6, is tl1e day Ka1np Kia Kima opens for le11 weeks of real outdoor activities for Memphis Scouts. For the first time in tl1e twelve years it has bee11 established, Kia Kima has been awarded a certificate as a Class "A'' (Excellent) Camp, the higl1est rating given by the National Department of Camping, Boy Scouts of America. Of the 5 38 Cow1cil Camps i11 the United States, ,only 69 camps, or approximately 1 2 Y4 % , have been awarded Class ''A''. This is indeed a signl\l ho11or and speaks volumes for the untiring efforts of the Camp Committee to give Memphis Scouts a ca1np of which they may \Vell be proud. Location Kamp Kia Kima is situated on a rugged tract of 1 66 acres in the foothills of the Ozarks near Hardy, Ark. Its picturesque locatio11, overlooki11g the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, is ideal for camping, as the camp site is higl1, well drained and free from mosquitoes. Numerous arrowheads are found in the vicinity, i11dicati11g that this spot was favored by the Indians as a location for their wigwa1ns. ---o--- Leadership Believi11g the highest type of leadership is required in camping, Chickasa\v CoUI1cil l1as appointed its Scout Executive, W. Gordon Morris, to direct the activities of Kia Kima. The 11ew ''Chief'' is a11 honor graduate of the National Training School, B. S. A., B1~arcliff Manor, N. Y. and has had years of experience in Scouting and Ca1npi11g. This is the first time si11ce 1920 that an Exective has served as Camp Director, at1d under the able supervision of "Cluef'' Morris tlus should be an outstandi11g year at Kia Kima. The Council is exceedingly proud of the splendid staff of veteran Scouts ai1d Campers who will assist the ''Chief''. Most of the1n are Eagle Scouts and all of them have had 1011g experie11ce in Scouting, a11d Camping. The Associate Director will be Perry Bynum, of Southwestern. who will have charge of Handicraft a11d Activilies. James F. Bradley, Resident Physician, will supervise Camp Health and Sanitation, with Ed Peete as his assistant. Robert Taylor, for. three years a Life Guard at the M u1ucipal Swimming Pool, a11d t1ow a Junior at the University of Tennessee, College of Medicine, will be Director of Aquatic Spo1ts. Jimmy and Johru1y Hugl1es of Troop 5 and Billy Hughes of Troop 26 'vill be Tribe Leaders. He1uy Dinkelspiel, of the University of Michigan, will be Director of Dra1natics and Camp Fire Entertainment. Gerald Capers, of Southwestern, will be Cashier. ] oe Dalsh·om, of the University of Mississippi, will be Camp Quartermaster, and Billy Love will be Mess Sergeant The Camp is extremely fortunate in securing such outsta11ding leadersl1jp for the 1928 season. i • • • • . • • _ _,,, . -- ~ > ---- Water Sports Swimming is probably the mosl popular of tl1e many aclivilies in camp. !11 sumJner there is very little current in the South Fork a11d the clear spri11 g water is just the right lemperature to make bathing delightful. The large sandy beach is ideal for bathers and is only a stone's thro\V from Headquarters Lodge. "Every Scout a Swimmer'' is no idle slogan at Kia Kima and every boy "vill be shown how to take care of himself in the water. The greatest precautions are taken for absolute safety and no swimm in g is permitted except during the regular periods when expert Life Guards ai·e on duty. Tl1e ''Buddy'' sys tem is used. This system is recommended by the National D epartment of Camping and requires that Scouts go u1to the water in pairs, remaining c lo se enough together to touch each other '"henever called on to do so by a Life Guard or when the bell rings. This is a splend id safety mea sure, as each boy looks out for the welfare of hi s ''Buddy''. An area in shallow water is roped off for non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim. These Scouts will be given Swimmi11g instruct.ion by a Life Guard. Everyone 1n.ust demonstrate (to the satisfaction of a Life Guard) the ability lo swim fifty yards before beirig allowed in deep water. ---o-- - Canoeing ''THE BOY WHO HAS NEVER CAMPED HAS NOT YET BEGUN TO LIVE'' Equipment The Camp has a beautiful new Headquarters Lodge, donated this season by Mr. Edward M. Salomon, sixteen sto11e lodges, one of vvhich was donated this year by Dr. Max Coltman, a big airy Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and a well equipped Hospital provided with sho,ver bath. All are thoroughly screened. Each Lodge houses eight boys and each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy fell mattress. The Camp is supplied witl1 water from its own deep \Veil and every two V\'eek:; the water will be lested ~or pu1ity by a Memphis bacleriologisl. Runni11g waler is provided in the Mess Hall, H ospital and Visitors' Lodge. ---o~-- Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge is provided for Parents and for Scou tm asters and their V\1ves. Reservations should be made one week i11 advance through Council H ead~ quarters, 203 Chamber of Commerce Bldg., Memplus. Visitors are charged $1.50 per day. ---o~-- Donors of Ka1np Kia Kima Lodges R. G. Ramsay and Dr. Geo. Gartly ..................... 1927 L .B.

Religious services of a strictly non-sectarian character \vill be conducted every Sunday and, weather permitti11g, wil l be held out of doors. ---0>--- Camp Honors Boys become proficient in the various camp activities through their own efforts and when they have passed the required lests ho11ors are awarded by the Camp Staff. Honors may be wo11 individual ly or by members of Lodges wi1ming first place in the different events. The Camp Emblem, which may be worn w itl1 the reg ul ation Scou.t Uniform, is a\varded by the Staff to Scouts who become proficient campers a11d as this is a high honor every Scout is proud to \Vear it. The greatest honor which may be won is to be elected a Council Scout and receive an Indian name at a Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are 110 rules by which this honor may be obtained- if a Scout does lus best to Jive up lo the Scout Oatl1 and Law, is industrious and his attitude and camp behavior \V'arra11ts, he will quickly be elected by hi s fellows into the Circle of Council Scouts. ---o--- Kamp Kia Kima Kommissary Here will be found the many incidentals a boy needs during his vacation. Stationery, stamps, ca11dy, soap, etc., as well as a limited amount of Scout supplies ,.,j)) be sold practically al cost. ---o--- Food The Camp Menu has been carefully prepared by Mr. R. G. Ramsay of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital and Scouts are assured of a \vholesome, well balanced diet. Green vegetables are prodt1ced on our 0\¥11 farm, and milk, which is abundant, is supplied by our own dairy. ---O>--- Pointed Paragraphs No one is allowed in the river except during the regular s\vimming periods. The Camp P hysici an inspects each Scout every morning in order that the boy's physical welfare may be properly cared for and no ailment, h·owever slight, ,, 4 goes unattended. Dr. Bradley lives in camp. Lodges will be inspected every morni11g and must be imma culately clean. The Mess Hall and Kitchen will be inspected daily by the Camp Physician. Ample time is allowed for v.rriting and each boy is required to write home at least twice a week. All c l othing must be plainly marked with indelible ink. Scouts are permitted to vi sit H ardy only on Saturday afternoons. Please do not give the boy more than 5 Oc per week for spending money. This is ample. Each boy is al lowed to buy tvvo pieces of candy (chocolate bars) daily. Please do not send sweets from home. • EVERY SCOUT IN THE GAME Transportation During June, July and August Frisco fast day trains wil l stop at Hardy , and parents, who so desire, are thus enabled to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day.

That's the program at Kia Kima beginning on Saturday, June 14th, when the lodges will be opened for the 15th Season. On reaching camp, lodges will be assigned, everyone will hurry into bathing suits for a cool, refreshing swim; trim canoes will glide over the sparkling waters of the South Fork and all too soon the thrilling notes of the bugle will sound "Recall,'' reminding the Scouts that supper is nearly ready. After an excellent meal, the Iroquois, Pawnees and Sioux will assemble under their Tribe Leaders and prepare to gather around "the red flower which blooms only at night,'' for songs, stunts and a general good time. Then again the notes of the bugle"Day is done, Gone the Sun From the Lake, From the Hill, From the Sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh." And so ends the day of the beginning of camp, everyone happy and waiting for another dawn, to enjoy anew the many pleasures and activities of "Eagles Nest." Leadership Kamp Kia Kima is indeed fortunate in having the splendid staff of outstanding leaders in Scouting who will direct the camp and its activities during the 1930 season. Willard E. Hays, Assistant to the Executive and a veteran in Scouting, will be Camp Director. The "Chief" is a graduate of the Camp Leaders Training School held at Chattanooga, Tenn. He has held many positions in Scouting, including Assistant Scoutmaster, Merit Badge Counselor and District Commissioner. Under his capable supervision the camp should have one of the best and most enjoyable seasons in its history. Joe Dalstrom, Eagle Scout with 31 Merit Badges and Jamboree Scout to Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1924, will be Assistant Camp Director. He will direct all camp activities, including games, sports and Scoutcraft. This means the camp will have an especially fine program and plenty of fun. Joe is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. Gerald Capers, Eagle Scout with 53 Merit Badges and Bronze, Gold and Silver Palms, will direct Nature Study, which assures every camper of a fine opportunity to learn much about trees, birds and flowers. Gerald will also serve as Mess Sergeant. He is a graduate of Southwestern and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 19. George H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, will be Camp Physician. He will supervise health and sanitation, with Wayne Amos, Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15, as his Assistant. Ed. Dalstrom, Jr., Eagle Scout with 35 Merit Badges and who holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Life Saving Examiner, will be Director of Aquatic Sports. Ed is a veteran swimmer and camper, having �Edward M. Salomon Lodge Camp Headquarters been a member of the staff of several camps. He is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. The water front will be the scene of much fun under his leadership. Joe Helms, Eagle Scout with 39 Merit Badges and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15, will be Tribe Leader of the Pawnees. Joe holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Senior Life Saver. He is an expert in leatherwork and in addition to leading in games and hikes, will specialize in leathercraft. Bill Perdue, Eagle Scout with 28 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Tribe Leader of the Sioux. Bill has passed the Life Saving Tests at the Memphis Municipal Pool and will help in water front activities as well as leading hikes and games. Claude Capers, Eagle Scout with 34 Merit Badges, will be Tribe Leader of the Iroquois. He will lead games and hikes and help in aquatic sports. Claude is an expert signaller and will be of much help to any Scout who wants to become really good in signalling. Eddie Williams, Eagle Scout with 26 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Camp Quartermaster. Charley Brooks, a veteran of many years at camp and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 21, will handle the finances as Camp Cashier. The Director of Dramatics and Camp Fire Activities will be Alvan Tate, Jr. The "Ghost of Notre Dame" has many new stunts planned to provide fun and frolic so that camp fires and shows will long be remembered. Loeation In the Ozarks, on a rocky bluff overlooking the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, three miles from Hardy, Ark., is "Eagles Nest." The camp site is high, well drained, free from mosquitoes with no danger from high water at any season of the year. Chickasaw Council owns 166 acres of rugged woodland in this campers' paradise and Kia Kima is located almost in its center. Numerous arrowheads found in the vicicity indicate this spot was used as a permanent camp by the Indial's who or:ce inhabited the region. �Facts About Kamp Kia Kima 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. The Rules of the Camp are the Scout Oath and Law. Camp opens June 14th-Closes August 23rd. To register, apply to Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Telephone 6-7032. Camp fees are $8.50 per week, payable in advance. Please make checks payable to Chickasaw Council. Railroad fare, round trip Memphis to Hardy, $5.25 for 2 weeks; $6.30 for 3 weeks; $7.60 for any length of stay over 3 weeks. Scouts enter and leave camp on Saturdays only. All Scouts must pass a physical examination within one week of the time they enter camp. This is furnished in Memphis without charge. All clothing and equipment must be plainly marked with owner's name. The health of everyone in camp is carefully protected. Scouts are inspected daily by the camp physician, so that no ailment, however slight, goes unattended. G. H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., Camp Physician, lives in the Camp Hospital. The camp is located on 166 acres owned by Chickasaw Council. It is three miles from Hardy, Ark., in Sharp County, and is 126 miles from Memphis via Frisco R.R. Twenty-two permanent buildings are on the camp, nineteen of which, including the two-story camp headquarters, are built of native stone. The Camp Physician inspects all food supplies, the Mess Hall and Kitchen daily. Ample time is allowed for writing and each boy is required to write to his parents once each week. Each Scout is allowed to buy 10 cents worth of candy per day. Please do not send sweets from home. Equipment The camp is splendidly equipped with a two-story Headquarters Lodge, sixteen Lodges, Hospital, a big, airy Mess Hall, Visitors' Lodge, Handicraft Shop, Recreation Hall and other buildings. With the exception of the Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and Handicraft Shop, all are built of native stone. The Hospital is well equipped and provided with shower bath. All buildings except the Recreati~n Hall are completely screened. A splendid tennis court is available at all times. Eight boys are assigned to each lodge. Each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy felt mattress fitted with a mattress cover. The camp's water supply is pumped from a deep well into a There are pressure tank. Every two weeks 16 Lodges during the season the water is like this at tested for purity by a Memphis Kia Kima bacteriologist. Running water is provided in the Mess Hall, Hospital and Visitors' Lodge. �Off for a Thrilling Canoe Trip Canoeing Next to swimming in the South Fork, canoeing is probably the most popular sport in camp. Eleven excellent canoes provide plenty of fun. There is seldom a moment when flashing paddles cannot be seen somewhere on the river. The "Buddy" System is applied to the use of canoes as well as to swimming and no Scout is permitted to use a canoe until he has passed his Canoe Tests and demonstrated his ability to swim as well as handle a canoe. Water Sports The cool, clear waters of the South Fork are a constant invitation to swim, and needless to say, Scouts do not have to be urged to accept. Swimming is by far the most popular sport in camp and the big sandy beach is a favorite spot for gatherings and games. Every precaution is taken to insure safety in the water. Swimming is not permitted except at regular swimming periods when expert Life Guards are on duty. The "Buddy" System, recommended by the National Department of Camping, is used in both swimming and canoeing. This means a Scout must be accompanied by another Scout whenever he is in or on the water. In swimming, boys enter the water in pairs and they are required to remain close enough to touch each other ALL the time. This excellent safety measure makes each boy constantly on the lookout for the welfare of his "Buddy." Non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim are not allowed in deep water, but remain in an area of shallow water which is roped off and under the supervision of a Life Guard. These boys are taught to swim and few Scouts leave campwithout learning how to handle themselves in the water. Aquatic meets are frequently held and there is keen com petition between the Tribes for the prizes awarded to the winners. Canoe tilting, water polo, canoe races and other stunts are the source of much amusement and help to make camping the ideal vacation. There's Plenty of Fun in the Water �Skill is Required in Canoe Tilting Camp Aetivities Many and varied are the activities of the lucky Scouts who go to Kia Kima. In addition to water sports, hikes and woodcraft, many big games provide fun. Bully Wumpus, Crazy Abyssinian King and Animal Hunt Games are favorites of long standing, while tennis, archery, baseball, horseshoe pitching and volley ball are very popular. There is never a time during the day, except during Quiet Hour after dinner, when Scouts are not engaged in some of these activities or are working in the Handicraft Shop, making articles of wood, leather or metal. Numerous prizes ranging from fried pies to field glasses will be awarded to the Scouts who win the big games and other competitive sport events which are frequently held throughout the summer. Camp Honors In putting "out" in Scouting, boys become well acquainted with many of Nature's secrets and learn how to take care of themselves in the open . Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. �Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M. This is the "Sunnyland," the Frisco's best. Registration and Fees Scouts may register for camp at any time and applications are filed in the order received. Early registration assures a Scout a place at camp during the desired time. All Scouts must pass a physical examination by a physician within one week of the time they enter camp. The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks. As K.K.K. is 3 miles from Hardy, there is a 25 cents charge each way for hauling baggage to and from camp. �PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.

Loeation In the Ozarks, on a rocky bluff overlooking the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, three miles from Hardy, Ark., is "Eagles Nest." The camp site is high, well drained, free from mosquitoes with no danger from high water at any season of the year. Chickasaw Council owns 166 acres of rugged woodland in this campers' paradise and Kia Kima is located almost in its center.

With the exception of the Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and Handicraft Shop, all are built of native stone. The Hospital is well equipped and provided with shower bath. All buildings except the Recreati~n Hall are completely screened. A splendid tennis court is available at all times. Eight boys are assigned to each lodge. Each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy felt mattress fitted with a mattress cover. The camp's water supply is pumped from a deep well into a pressure tank. Every two weeks during the season the water is tested for purity by a Memphis bacteriologist. Running water is provided in the Mess Hall, Hospital and Visitors' Lodge. There are 16 Lodges like this at Kia Kima Off for a Thrilling Canoe Trip Canoeing Next to swimming in the South Fork, canoeing is probably the most popular sport in camp. Eleven excellent canoes provide plenty of fun. There is seldom a moment when flashing paddles cannot be seen somewhere on the river. The "Buddy" System is applied to the use of canoes as well as to swimming and no Scout is permitted to use a canoe until he has passed his Canoe Tests and demonstrated his ability to swim as well as handle a canoe. Water Sports The cool, clear waters of the South Fork are a constant invitation to swim, and needless to say, Scouts do not have to be urged to accept. Swimming is by far the most popular sport in camp and the big sandy beach is a favorite spot for gatherings and games. Every precaution is taken to insure safety in the water. Swimming is not permitted except at regular swimming periods when expert Life Guards are on duty. The "Buddy" System, recommended by the National Department of Camping, is used in both swimming and canoeing. This means a Scout must be accompanied by another Scout whenever he is in or on the water. In swimming, boys enter the water in pairs and they are required to remain close enough to touch each other ALL the time. This excellent safety measure makes each boy constantly on the lookout for the welfare of his "Buddy." Non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim are not allowed in deep water, but remain in an area of shallow water which is roped off and under the supervision of a Life Guard. These boys are taught to swim and few Scouts leave campwithout learning how to handle themselves in the water. Aquatic meets are frequently held and there is keen com petition between the Tribes for the prizes awarded to the winners. Canoe tilting, water polo, canoe races and other stunts are the source of much amusement and help to make camping the ideal vacation. There's Plenty of Fun in the Water Skill is Required in Canoe Tilting Camp Aetivities Many and varied are the activities of the lucky Scouts who go to Kia Kima. In addition to water sports, hikes and woodcraft, many big games provide fun. Bully Wumpus, Crazy Abyssinian King and Animal Hunt Games are favorites of long standing, while tennis, archery, baseball, horseshoe pitching and volley ball are very popular. There is never a time during the day, except during Quiet Hour after dinner, when Scouts are not engaged in some of these activities or are working in the Handicraft Shop, making articles of wood, leather or metal. Numerous prizes ranging from fried pies to field glasses will be awarded to the Scouts who win the big games and other competitive sport events which are frequently held throughout the summer. Camp Honors In putting "out" in Scouting, boys become well acquainted with many of Nature's secrets and learn how to take care of themselves in the open. Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M. This is the "Sunny land," the Frisco's best. Registration and Fees Scouts may register for camp at any time and applications are filed in the order received. Early registration assures a Scout a place at camp during the desired time. All Scouts must pass a physical examination by a physician within one week of the time they enter camp. The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks. As K.K.K. is 3 miles from Hardy, there is a 25 cents charge each way for hauling baggage to and from camp. PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.

The unit's committee has accepted this responsibility which assures that each boy has the opportunity for a year- round program. Kamp Kia Kima is Scouting's outdoor educational laboratory. Its purpose is to serve institutions by providing facilities and leadership for training units in the outdoor program activities and in the Scout method of operation.

It is at this event when the boys begin o be enthusiastic at the prospects of living in camp . The Court of Honor presented at this meeting will instill in the boys an appetite to advance. fully understanding the convenience and ease of accomplishing these advancements while living a week or two in the great out-of-doors.

It has provided a necessary, final check on the Scout's physical fitness for camp and has been an important deterrent to the spread of any infectious or communica ble disease. It has been apparent that this " Health Check" at camp resulted, in some cases , in hardship , disappoint ment and inconvenie nce to the Scout, his Leaders and parents when the inspection discovered a physical condition which made it necessary to refuse him admittance to camp and to require his return to his home. Every one attending Summer Camp is required to have a medical examination before coming to Camp . Medical Blanks # 4126 are available at the Scout office. The Health and Safety Committee recommen ds that all who attend Camp have the following shots : Typhoid, Tetanus, and Polio. EQUIPMENT All troops at Cherokee will be issued the following: 1-10x10 dining fly for cooking ; 1-12x16 dining fly for eating area (with ridge pole and uprights); 1-patrol trail chef per 10 boys ; 1-dutch oven per patrol ; 1-rake and broom per site ; 1- igloo per site ; 1-ax per site; 3wash tubs per site ; 2-dip bags per site ; 4-scrub brushes per site. All troops at main camp will be issued the following: Lanterns- 2 (1 for campsite; 1 for latrine); Broom-1; Rake- 1.

Then, too, they should understand that all Merit Badges cannot be completed at summer camp because of the nature of various requirements. Unit leaders should caution their boys to either carry out these requirements before arrival at camp (bringing with them sufficient evidence of completion of their work) or to complete their work after their return home.

Normally, many units hold this election prior to their district camporees for their candidates to be tapped out at their camporee. Should you desire to hold this election at Summer Camp, it is advised that you notify your district Chapter Advisor or District C&A Chairman two weeks before your unit arrives at Camp, so that these candidates can be elected and tapped-out at the Friday night campfire. Remember-ho wever, that at least 50% of the troop's membership must be in attendance before an election can be held. In cases where the Unit's leader cannot be with his Troop at Summer Camp, the leader that is in charge must be informed as to whether they have already had their ONE election per calendar year. Some units may have boys that have already been elected, but not yet tapped-out. At Camp this can be carried out if the Unit Leader notifies their Chapter Advisor two weeks before he arrives at camp. 12 �STEPS IN PLANNING THE TROOP PROGRAM 1. Determine what the scouts need in camp: On an individual basis, review with each Scout his camp objectives. Use Planning Sheet on pages 14 & 15 to assist you. 2. Find out what the boys want: Give each Scout an opportunity to express his ideas for both patrol and troop activity. Let the Patrol Leaders' Council serve as a review ing committee. 3. Write program on paper: After you know what each boy wants and must have, fill out a rough draft, in pencil, on pages 14 and 15 of this booklet. Be sure to keep each boy busy, but don't over-schedule. Leave some free time for hiking , handicraft, scout· craft, study and practice . 4. Sunday night program planning: Finalize hourly scheduling at this important meeting . 5. Organization is key-right way: Organize your Scouts into the best patrol operating troop possible, with each patrol having a Patrol Leader, etc. Follow the Scoutmaster's handbook on troop operation and organization. 6. Make your plans known: Hold a parents' night and dramatically present your camp objective to the parents and institution. Each unit's program will be different because its needs and interests are different. There are four general patterns within the unit program that should be in evidence: 1. Activities. in which all members of the unit participate together. 2. Activities that are best carried out on a patrol basis. 3. Informal activities more suitable for a few boys to do together. 4. Special interests a boy might follow on his own. Typical troop or unit-centered activities: 1. Scoutcraft instruction . 2. Ceremonies. 3. Advancement activities. 4. Campfires. 5.

And what is the purpose of Summer Camping at Kamp Kia Kima? You 've heard these questions, surely. And sometimes i t e scape s us as to why we must have a Summer Camping Program f o r the boys in our units. First of all , Scouting is an outdoor program . We only h ave indoor meetings for training purposes so that the out-o f-doo rs can be better understood and enjoyed. Our units can t hen benefit to a greater extent when they go campin ~ and hiking . It is the responsibility of each unit's Sponsoring Institution to see that each boy has at least 10 days and nights of camping . The unit's committee has accepted this responsibility which assures that each boy has the opportunity for a year- round program. Kamp Kia Kima is Scouting's outdoor educational laboratory. Its purpose is to serve institutions by providing facilities and leadership for training units in the outdoor program activities and in the Scout method of operation. The purpose of this booklet is to assist the unit leader or his substitute in planning and promoting his unit's Summer Camp experience. Thus assuring consistent advancement and more successful weekend camping for the rest of the year! So come on, get the ga ng all fired up so a minimum of 75% will attend this wonderful outdoor experience, and you can be assured that the Camping and Activities Committee of Chickasaw Council will see to it that all the facilities will be there for your enjoyment. Sincerely yours for good camping, CHICKASAW COUNCIL B. S . A.

It has provided a necessary, final check on the Scout's ph ysical fitness for camp and has been an important deterrent to the spread of any infectious or communicable disease. It has been apparent that this " Health Check" at camp resulted, in some cases , in hardship , disappointment and inconvenience to the Scout, his Leaders and parents when the inspection discovered a physical condition which made it necessary to refuse him admittance to camp and to require his return to his home. Every one attending Summer Camp is required to have a medical examination before coming to Camp . Medical Blanks # 4126 are available at the Scout office. The Health and Safety Committee recommends that all who attend Camp have the following shots : Typhoid, Tetanus, and Polio.

Then, too, they should understand that all Merit Badges cannot be completed at summer camp because of the nature of various requirements. Unit leaders should caution their boys to either carry out these requirements before arrival at camp (bringing with them sufficient evidence of completion of their work) or to complete their work after their return home.

ORDER OF THE ARROW ELECTIONS Your unit has the privilege of holding only ONE election for candidates for the Order of the Arrow per calendar year. Normally, many units hold this election prior to their district camporees for their candidates to be tapped out at their camporee. Should you desire to hold this election at Summer Camp, it is advised that you notify your district Chapter Advisor or District C&A Chairman two weeks before your unit arrives at Camp, so that these candidates can be elected and tapped-out at the Friday night campfire. Remember-however, that at least 50% of the troop's membership must be in attendance before an election can be held. In cases where the Unit's leader cannot be with his Troop at Summer Camp, the leader that is in charge must be informed as to whether they have already had their ONE election per calendar year. Some units may have boys that have already been elected, but not yet tapped-out. At Camp this can be carried out if the Unit Leader notifies their Chapter Advisor two weeks before he arrives at camp. 12 STEPS IN PLANNING THE TROOP PROGRAM 1. Determine what the scouts need in camp: On an individual basis, review with each Scout his camp objectives. Use Planning Sheet on pages 14 & 15 to assist you. 2. Find out what the boys want: Give each Scout an opportunity to express his ideas for both patrol and troop activity. Let the Patrol Leaders' Council serve as a review ing committee. 3. Write program on paper: After you know what each boy wants and must have, fill out a rough draft, in pencil, on pages 14 and 15 of this booklet. Be sure to keep each boy busy, but don't over-schedule. Leave some free time for hiking , handicraft, scout· craft, study and practice . 4. Sunday night program planning: Finalize hourly scheduling at this important meeting . 5. Organization is key-right way: Organize your Scouts into the best patrol operating troop possible, with each patrol having a Patrol Leader, etc. Follow the Scoutmaster's handbook on troop operation and organization. 6. Make your plans known: Hold a parents' night and dramatically present your camp objective to the parents and institution. Each unit's program will be different because its needs and interests are different. There are four general patterns within the unit program that should be in evidence: 1. Activities. in which all members of the unit participate together. 2. Activities that are best carried out on a patrol basis. 3. Informal activities more suitable for a few boys to do together. 4. Special interests a boy might follow on his own. Typical troop or unit-centered activities: 1. Scoutcraft instruction . 2. Ceremonies. 3. Advancement activities. 4. Campfires. 5. Camp inspection . 13 ., SUMMER CAMP DATE TROOP SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY First Coif 6:30 - Reveille 7 :00 - Waiters Coll 7: 15 Br eokfosf and Flog Raising l:Y ' I I 9:00 I I I 10:00 11 :00 Wa iters Coll 12:15-Lunch 12:30-Rest Per iod 1:00 'ti/ 2:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 Waiters Coif 5:45 - Dinner 6:00 - Church Coif 9:15 - Tops 9 :30 Ii 7 :30 PROGRAM PLANNING Vesper Song-fest 7 :30 Song-fest . - PIOGRAM SCHEDULE fAT ROL LEADER - NESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY :et Troop Site in Order 8:00 to 9 :00 ADVENTURE TRAIL 1 :30 'tll 3 :00 WATER CARNIVAL t UNIT 3:30 'tll 5:00 COOK OUT ~ DINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED Campfire Camp-wide ~ Scout Leaders ..

Dedicated in 1964. the ReservaLion consists of two separate camps. Camp Osage. the main camp, and Camp Cherokt:t!, the outpost or wilderness camp. Between the two camps a Scout has over 860 acres to explore. dotted with mountains. pastures and a natural stream river and also a 40 acre man-made lake. Camp Osage consist of 13 campsites, a dining hall for meals, hospital building and main administratJvc building which houses the main camps primary facilities.

Refreshments �Location And Story Of Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation is located near Hardy, Arkansas deep in the Ozark Mountains. Dedicated in 1964, the Reservation consists of two separate camps - Camp Osage, the main camp, and Camp Cherokee, the outpost camp. Between the two camps a Scout has over 860 acres to explore, dotted with mountains, pastures and a natural stream river and also a 40 acre man made lake. Camp Osage consists of 12 camp sites, a dining hall for meals, health lodge and main administrative building which houses the main camp's primary facilities. The beautiful South Fork of the Spring River, (subject of a recent National Geographic article) flows through the middle of the camp, giving each Scout the opportunity of boating or white-water canoeing. Camp Cherokee, our outpost camp, consists of I 0 camp sites located on the banks of the beautiful 40 acre lake. Scouts prepare their own meals. The Patrol Method is the mode of operation at Cherokee. Trading Post facilities, equipped with snacks, handicraft items, and Scout equipment are available at both camps. Merit Badge and Skill Award instruction is offered by qualified counselors, in over 40 Scout related activity and advancement subjects. Scouts will be given more opportunity at actual rank advancement during a week at summer camp than the rest of the year combined. The water offers every type of aquatic activity, (boating, canoeing, swimming, and fishing). The land is a paradise for small game; opossums, deer, coons, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and birds of all types (and yes, skunks) can be found in abundance. There is most every type of foliage and tree native to the area found on the Reservation. �1979 CAMP SCHEDULE June I 0 - 16 ..............................

Refreshments Location And Story Of Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation is located near Hardy, Arkansas deep in the Ozark Mountains . Dedicated in 1964, the Reservation consists of two separate camps - Camp Osage, the main camp, and Camp Cherokee, the outpost camp. Between the two camps a Scout has over 860 acres to exp lore, dotted with mountains, pastures and a natural stream river and also a 40 acre man made lake. Camp Osage consists of 12 camp sites, a dining hall for meals , health lodge and main administrative building which houses the main camp's primary facilities. The beautiful South Fork of the Spring River, (subject of a recent National Geographic article) flows through the middle of the camp, giving each Scout the opportunity of boating or white-water canoeing. Camp Cherokee, our outpost camp, consists of I 0 camp sites located on the banks of the beautiful 40 acre lake. Scouts prepare their own meals. The Patrol Method is the mode of operation at Cherokee. Trading Post facilities, eq uipped with snacks, handicraft items, and Scout equipment are avai labl e at both camps. Merit Badge and Skill Award instruction is offered by qualified counselors, in over 40 Scout related activity and advancement subjects. Scouts will be given more oppor tunity at actual rank advancement during a week at summer camp than the res t of the year co mbined. The water offers every type of aquatic activity, (boating, canoeing, swimming, and fishing). The land is a paradise for small game; opossums, deer, coons, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and birds of all types (and yes, skunks) can be found in abundance. There is most every type of foliage and tree native to the area found on the Reservation. 1979 CAMP SCHEDULE June I 0 - 16 ..............................
