Mr• Ben s. Parker, Chairman of the Camp currier commission, has ma.do a handsome gift of three wild animal skin rugs kid six stuffed birds and animals for the inside adornment of the headquarters cabin. The surprise progrom of backwoods field sports on GET-TOGETHER D.AY next Saturday will begin at lb otclock in the morning ond, including a recess at noon, will be ended by midafternoon, after which an early evening barbecue will be served in time for those returning home to start before dark• At this season of the year over-night hikers should take at least two blankets. Ton troops with a total of seventy Scouts were at camp the last week-end, namely, Nos. 1, 3, 8, 10, 11, 25, 30, 34, 40 and 54. While every bunch of boys was accompanied by a competent loader, four of these were scou~l'lll1.stors, ns follows: Messrs. Ben Coffey, Joe Flanagan, Bernie Harris, und M.P. Kearney. Troop 40 had chE:rge of the regular SD.turd.ay night council fire attended by forty-five scouts. The weather was ideal and some of the boys slept comfortably out under the trees with only one bla."lkot. A good rain this week even as late Friday will not interfere with the GET-TOGETHER DAY program ond will lessen the danger of forest fires on the camp. Neither will it interfere with the trnnsportntion, for the highway is hard-surfaced all the way to the ca.mp.

Can you bent it? It is planned to have the council fire and the possum hunt simultaneously this week. Take your choice. ( r- J '.l �CAMP Cl!JRRIER NEWS No. 3 October 17~ 1928. Probably the biggest day thus far in the history of Camp Currie~ was the second annual Get Together Day last Saturday, the attendance being somewhat larger than that of last year and more significant from the fact that it was held one month earlier than before, showing that the troops are snapping into action more promptly after the summer vacation season, and also from the fact that there were more scouts present. Get Together Day is intended strictly for the boys and and their Scoutmasters, and on this occasion this rule was observed almost to the letter. Many a mother drove down to the camp to bring her son and again to take him home that night or next morning, but the day itself was one of novel athletic contests and good eats enjoyed alone by the Scouts and their troop leader$. The events this time·were: A scout axe throw, a boy-carrying road race up and down hill, a canteen race, a possum climb, and a rough crosscountry run. If you do not understand these peculiar terms, ask anybody who was there. The troops provided their own lunch at noon, but in the early evening they were stuffed full of a feast consisting of two barbecue~ hogs and one sheep, Boo buns, 450 home-cookies, two bushels of apples and a barrel of water. At nightfall sixty-one scouts took part in the possum hunt under the leadership of the veteran hunter, uncle Ben Alexander, and returned to camp with their ~uarry before 9 o'clock; while simultaneously fort~ boys attended the council fire which was presided over by Ed Orgill, j\Ssistant scoutmaster of Troop No. 34. In all the happy day there was not one serious casualty. Troop No. 34 won the championship of the day with seven teen points; Eudora Troop No. 1 came second with twelve points; Troop No. 25 was third with six; Troop No. 1, fourth,with five; Troop No. 3, fifth, with three; and Nos. 40 and 45 tied for sixth place with one point each. Rev. N. W. Grafton of Cub 1.ake made an excellent clerk of the course, and the judges were Professor Cedell Morgan, athletic coach of the Eudora consolidated school, and J.S. Barnett and J.vv. cooper of Eudora. Bruce Denham won the possum climb in five and four-fifths seconds. This WDs some feat when it is considered that the scout had to climb into a tree, catch with his bare hands a big growling possum and chuck him into a towsack on the ground. Two of the forty-three climbers were bitten, several had hair-breadth escapes, and some utterly failed to put the struggling, biting, scratching animal into the towsack. ' I The young possum caught on the hunt Saturday night was taken to Memphis as the mascot of Troop No. la. �'1 l The next big event at ca~ is the Chickasaw council barbecue set for Saturday evening, October 27th. �CAMP CUBRIER NEW$_ No. 4 October 23, 1S28. The barbecue at Camp Currier next Sat11rday, October 27, is. not for Scouts except that Troop No. 19 has been requested t.o detail several of its members to assist in cooking the meat over night, also to keep open house at their cabin for inspection by the men visitors. Other troops that may wish to spend the week-end at camp may do so as usual, but they should bear in mind that the barbecue is for m0 n only, namely: Members of Chicke.saw council, members of troop committees, scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters. Neither ha~e the men been invited to bring their wives, for this affair is intended to be a real "stag party•i ~ ********** EVer try a compass hike? Tenderfoots and other inexperienced hikers had better undertake only short ones at first, but some of the older scouts are walking to camp by the compass, which really is a day•s journey. The start from Memphis should be made from the south end of Florida street. * * * * * * **** Four troops were at camp the last week-end. The weather was fine. Troop No. 34 spent two days working on their cabin, and as a result the rafters are now in place and all the sheeting on for the roof. It is these boys• intention to rive out the cypress boards with which to shingle the roof. * * * ** *** ** Scoutmaster Ben Coffey of Troop.No. l came to camp saturday with some of his older scouts. One of these, Bill Bellamy, made some very good plaster of Paris prints of animal tracks, finishing up not only the negative but also the positive prints. .An especially interesting one was that of a squirrel that had lost one of its toes• * * * *** *** * Here is a ne~ plan for transportation to Camp Currier: Assistant scoutmaster Bill Bellamy of Troop NO• l has made arrangements for the use of a large school bus that can carry as many as forty at a time, also for a light Ford truck to carry the baggage when the bus is full. This bus will start any Friday afternoon at 3:30 or later or saturday morning from any good meeting place in Memphis. If as many as twenty passengers go; the cost of the round trip per passenger will be fifty cents, or $1C for all. If there are fewer than twenty passengers, the bus will still cost $10 and therefore proportionately more per passenger. For instance, if only seventeen go the cost will be sixty cents per person. If there are more than twenty passengers, the fare will still be fifty cents apiece. The bus and driver, who is an experienced school bus chauffeur, will remain at camp over night and as long as the load wishes to stay, if not later than Sunday evening, so that they can start home at any time if bad weather threatens. This bus can be engaged by phoning the Boy scout office not later than noon on Friday, but a longer notice is desirable. �* * * ***** ** some members of Troop 34 undertook a compass hike from Memphis to c. c. last Friday but did not start early en~igh to finish it before dark, so they stopped eight miles from camp and rode in the rest of the way. They were greatly pleased with the big undertaking, and probably will finish it this week. Another troop, however, is planning 'to do it all in one day and to do it first. * * * * * * * * * * * It rained at camp Monday, effectually settling the dust problem for this season. With fair weather for the remainder of the week everything will be favorable for the barbecue next Saturday. : .1. •• ·: ,\ .. . '" ,•·. , . �CAMP CURRIER NEWS No. 5. I October 30, 1928. The men, who alone were to enjoy the Chickasaw council barbecue last Saturday evening, may think it was ruined by the rain which set in at 8 o• clock in the morning; bu.t troops No. 19, 34, 40 and 50 have a different tale to tell. As soon as the rain had set in as an all day drizzle a telephone call from the Memphis office announced that the men's gathering was called off, and permission was given to feed to the scouts who happened to be at camp the lamb and pig that had been roasting all night over the barbecue pit. This announcement was received with shouts of pleasure by the boys and gave renewed impetus to their rainy-day indoor work of grinding axes, sharpening knives and otherwise making ready for fair weather activities. some even went on hunger hikes and stayed their appetites at noon with persimmons, hickory nuts and parched corn in anticipation of the bigger feed that was promised for the early evening. About 4:30 a few men from Eudora came for the feast, and soon afterwards all the meat the crowd could eat, together with an apple apiece, was served to an even half hundred people including these leaders: scoutmasters J.W. cooper, Arnold Houston, F.W. Morrison, Roger Stanley, and Assistant scoutmasters W!W. Grafton, Cedell . Morgan and Ed Orgill. ***"'*** Last 'Thursday a dozen members of Troop NO• 25 hiked from Memphis to camp currier, thus ad.ding 12,0bo points to their credit in the fall contest. They made the trip in nine hours, and after a night's rest all reported in good condition except one whose shoes had rubbed blisters on his feet. ******* Troop No. 3 has begun felling trees for its cabin logs • .111-****** Before the barbecue was served last Saturday the rain ceased and a bunch of sixteen sallied forth in pursuit of the timid marsupial. No sooner had the hunt actually begun than the full moon burst through the thinning clouds, the hillsides already were drained enough for good hiking, and even some logs were found sufficiently dry to sit on. The first possum treed either went to sleep on high or averted his face so persistently that the battery of half a dozen searchlights failed to catch his eye, and the second one ; ao successfully hid himself among tree roots underground that digging him out was impracticable; but the third, after having a branch cut off under him, crawled into another tree where John Loomer was waiting to nab him, and on the way back to camp Ray Owen captured another on a limb thirty feet from the ground. * ** *** * Troop No. 5u chose a cabin site last Saturday and began cleaning it up. ******* A Redskin powwow will be held soon, probably on November 9. At any rate it should be in the dark of the moon, for deep secrets will be discussed and plans made for the present season. All necessary information will appe&r in the next issue of the News.

' . �CAMP CURRIER NEW§. November 20, 1828. The, big event at camp J_ast week was the barbecue for TroopsJ.l aP.d 34, winners and runners-up ~n the 1927 fall contest. After the close of the contest on December 31 there were so many weeks of uncertain weather that the affair finally 1"Tas po~tponed to be the opening event for the pr·es-· ent season, but on account of the absence of both scoutmasters there was a further postponement until. they both could be present, At last scoutmaster A.S. Fry of Troop No. 11 urged that there be no further delay becauce of his prolonged stay in Texas, and a!:\ it happened scoutmaster F.W. Morrison of Troop No. 34 wa$ ill on the C.ate set and after all both scoutmasters were conspicuous for their absenee. The feast was a sort of housewarming for No. 34•s new cabin where two tables were spread and the eats were served. by this troop in honor of the other one, their friends the victors. The bill-of-fare consisted of barbecued pig with dressing, hot· beans, rolls, pickles, pumpkin pie, and hot cocoa and apples. Following tho food the trophy was presented to Troop No, 11 by scout Executive W. Gordon Morris in a happy speech in which he alluded to the fact that in both of these troops are many scouts who are real campers. The prize given to No. 11 to keep until won by some other troop is a handmade hickory loving cup on which is burned the inscription "C.C.F.C. Troop :No, 11, 192T1 ; and there is additional space for the succeeding winners in the years to come, It is an interesting coincidence that scoutmaster Fry of the winning troop ougge3ted before the contest that the trophy be something of no material value but calculated to gather unto itself as the years pass a sentioantal value to make it a coveted prize, and this already is coming true as inciicated by the hot race now in progress to secure its possession during the coming year. Deputy Edmund of the ly way defeat Following the presentation of the trophy short talks were made by Commissioner Willard Ecy,;, AE>sistant Scoutmasters Lucian Smith and Orgill, and senior Pat:rol Lcs..d~rs Franklin Kimbrough and Ray Owen two troops, one of whom quite feelingly alluded to the most friendin which Nos. 11 and ~4 celebrated the victory of the former and of the latter in the initial contest. *"'**** Last Saturday night 1 s possum hunt was enjoyed by members of Troops No. 11 and 4Q, and the quarry as usual was caught by hand.

Transportation to ca.mp currier is not a difficult problem if understood and planned for in time. Otherwise, however, it may cause._c.onsiderable inconvenience for all concerned. Here is one point that needs to be explained again: The 'bus drivers of Eudora carry school children mornings and evenings five days a week. On those days they can be reached by telephone about 8 A. M. and 3 P .M. But on Saturdays and SU.ndays it is hard to get in touch with them, and even then they usually a~e engaged in something else unless notified beforehand. scoutmasters should put in orders for these bu.ses not later than Friday noon. ******** Last Saturday camp currier was the scene of a supper hike by members of the scout Leaders Training school. They obtained· a little outdoor experience, most of which was cooking their own suppers on campfires, and then the majority of those present decided to join the Boy scouts in the regular Saturday night possum hunt. It was a beautiful moonlight night and so mild that nobody could suffer mu.ch from the cold, even if not properly clothed for the outing, bu.t the clever little marsupials steadfastly refused to make an exhibition of themselves before this bunch of men. so it was decided to hold the· council fire while waiting for the hounds to put something up a tree. songs, stunts, speeches and story-telling made an interesting program for nearly an hour under the auspices of Troop No. 9, scoutmaster T.J. TUrner presiding, and then the men decided to return to camp and to Memphis. several of the boys, also, had to leave because of anxious parents awaiting their late arrival home, so that the hunting party was reduced to scoutmaster Ben Coffey and six of his Troop, No.l, and Edgar Gaulding of No. 40. Exactly at 11 o•clock the dogs treed their quarry and the flashlights found it far out on a limb fifty feet above the ground. scouts Walter Allen and Robert Reinert went up the tree but the animal was so far out of reac~ that it had to be shaken out. Landing in the very midst of the five boys below, it made haste to get away, but Edgar Gaulding, the lone representative of Troop No. 40, was too quick for it and soon arose from the melee of boys and dogs holding high his victim dnngling by its tail. His experience of the evening netted his Troop 700 po in ts in the contest. *****"'** A.W.

December 5, 1928, scout Otis Tu.cker of troep No. ll was the hero of two possum captures on the hunt last Saturday night, catching one young animal only ten feet up in a small tree and grabbing by the throat a cross old he-possum that had been driven to its lair and stood there at bay with threatening, wide-open mouth and vicious growls. The first quarry was treed almost immediately after the hunters started from Uncle :sen Alexander• s home in the edge of the forest and we.s chucked into the towsack within tan minutes. The second was bagged about an hcur later.

Last year troop No. 34 was the runner-up and No. 40 was third. Fred w. Morrison and Edmund Orgill, respectively scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster of the winning troop, worked as enthusiastically as any two scouts in their organization and were as happy as any of the boys in the victory which their admirable teamwork achieved. Scoutmasters Joe w. Austin and Ben B. coff ey of the troops winning second and third place are to be congratulated upon the work done by their boys, who also probably will attain first place in this popular race before their scouting careers are finished, for they have proved themselves true outdoor scouts.

It gives one a real thrill to follow the surveyors' lines on the actual site uf the proposed lake, for it enables a person to visualize what a beautiful body of water it will be. The location of the dam recommended by Engineer Markwell is on the west line of the camp in the large valley running due west from the cabin of Troop No • 10 for more than one-third of a mile. The main body of this \r alley is 200 feet wide and will make a perfect straight-away race course for swimming, rowing and sailing. The branch valley running in a southeasterly direction from the junction of the two at the point of Troop No. l6•s cabin site is about the same length as the main valley but somewhat narrower and both valleys are fringed with so many inlets of various sizes ·and shapes that it is plain to be seen that the lake will present the appearance of a perfectly natural body of' water bordered all around with steep, wooded banks.

Probably the biggest day thus far in the history of Camp Currie~ was the second annual Get Together Day last Saturday, the attendance being somewhat larger than that of last year and more significant from the fact that it was held one month earlier than before, showing that the troops are snapping into action more promptly after the summer vacation season, and also from the fact that there were more scouts present. Get Together Day is intended strictly for the boys and and their Scoutmasters, and on this occasion this rule was observed almost to the letter. Many a mother drove down to the camp to bring her son and again to take him home that night or next morning, but the day itself was one of novel athletic contests and good eats enjoyed alone by the Scouts and their troop leader$. The events this time·were: A scout axe throw, a boy-carrying road race up and down hill, a canteen race, a possum climb, and a rough crosscountry run. If you do not understand these peculiar terms, ask anybody who was there. The troops provided their own lunch at noon, but in the early evening they were stuffed full of a feast consisting of two barbecue~ hogs and one sheep, Boo buns, 450 home-cookies, two bushels of apples and a barrel of water. At nightfall sixty-one scouts took part in the possum hunt under the leadership of the veteran hunter, uncle Ben Alexander, and returned to camp with their ~uarry before 9 o'clock; while simultaneously fort~ boys attended the council fire which was presided over by Ed Orgill, j\Ssistant scoutmaster of Troop No. 34. In all the happy day there was not one serious casualty. Troop No. 34 won the championship of the day with seven teen points; Eudora Troop No. 1 came second with twelve points; Troop No. 25 was third with six; Troop No. 1, fourth,with five; Troop No. 3, fifth, with three; and Nos. 40 and 45 tied for sixth place with one point each. Rev. N. W. Grafton of Cub 1.ake made an excellent clerk of the course, and the judges were Professor Cedell Morgan, athletic coach of the Eudora consolidated school, and J.S. Barnett and J.vv. cooper of Eudora. Bruce Denham won the possum climb in five and four-fifths seconds. This WDs some feat when it is considered that the scout had to climb into a tree, catch with his bare hands a big growling possum and chuck him into a towsack on the ground. Two of the forty-three climbers were bitten, several had hair-breadth escapes, and some utterly failed to put the struggling, biting, scratching animal into the towsack. ' I The young possum caught on the hunt Saturday night was taken to Memphis as the mascot of Troop No. la. The next big event at ca~ is the Chickasaw council barbecue set for Saturday evening, October 27th. '1 l CAMP CUBRIER NEW$_ No. 4 October 23, 1S28. The barbecue at Camp Currier next Sat11rday, October 27, is. not for Scouts except that Troop No. 19 has been requested t.o detail several of its members to assist in cooking the meat over night, also to keep open house at their cabin for inspection by the men visitors. Other troops that may wish to spend the week-end at camp may do so as usual, but they should bear in mind that the barbecue is for m0n only, namely: Members of Chicke.saw council, members of troop committees, scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters. Neither ha~e the men been invited to bring their wives, for this affair is intended to be a real "stag party•i ~ * * * * * * * * * * EVer try a compass hike?

This bus will start any Friday afternoon at 3:30 or later or saturday morning from any good meeting place in Memphis. If as many as twenty passengers go; the cost of the round trip per passenger will be fifty cents, or $1C for all. If there are fewer than twenty passengers, the bus will still cost $10 and therefore proportionately more per passenger. For instance, if only seventeen go the cost will be sixty cents per person. If there are more than twenty passengers, the fare will still be fifty cents apiece. The bus and driver, who is an experienced school bus chauffeur, will remain at camp over night and as long as the load wishes to stay, if not later than Sunday evening, so that they can start home at any time if bad weather threatens. This bus can be engaged by phoning the Boy scout office not later than noon on Friday, but a longer notice is desirable. * * * * * * * * * * some members of Troop 34 undertook a compass hike from Memphis to c. c. last Friday but did not start early en~igh to finish it before dark, so they stopped eight miles from camp and rode in the rest of the way. They were greatly pleased with the big undertaking, and probably will finish it this week. Another troop, however, is planning 'to do it all in one day and to do it first. * * * * * * * * * * * It rained at camp Monday, effectually settling the dust problem for this season. With fair weather for the remainder of the week everything will be favorable for the barbecue next Saturday. : , . .1. •• ·: ,\ .. . '" ,•·. I CAMP CURRIER NEWS No. 5. October 30, 1928. The men, who alone were to enjoy the Chickasaw council barbecue last Saturday evening, may think it was ruined by the rain which set in at 8 o• clock in the morning; bu.t troops No. 19, 34, 40 and 50 have a different tale to tell. As soon as the rain had set in as an all day drizzle a telephone call from the Memphis office announced that the men's gathering was called off, and permission was given to feed to the scouts who happened to be at camp the lamb and pig that had been roasting all night over the barbecue pit. This announcement was received with shouts of pleasure by the boys and gave renewed impetus to their rainy-day indoor work of grinding axes, sharpening knives and otherwise making ready for fair weather activities. some even went on hunger hikes and stayed their appetites at noon with persimmons, hickory nuts and parched corn in anticipation of the bigger feed that was promised for the early evening. About 4:30 a few men from Eudora came for the feast, and soon afterwards all the meat the crowd could eat, together with an apple apiece, was served to an even half hundred people including these leaders: scoutmasters J.W. cooper, Arnold Houston, F.W. Morrison, Roger Stanley, and Assistant scoutmasters W!W. Grafton, Cedell . Morgan and Ed Orgill. ***"'*** Last 'Thursday a dozen members of Troop NO• 25 hiked from Memphis to camp currier, thus ad.ding 12,0bo points to their credit in the fall contest.

No sooner had the hunt actually begun than the full moon burst through the thinning clouds, the hillsides already were drained enough for good hiking, and even some logs were found sufficiently dry to sit on. The first possum treed either went to sleep on high or averted his face so persistently that the battery of half a dozen searchlights failed to catch his eye, and the second one ; ao successfully hid himself among tree roots underground that digging him out was impracticable; but the third, after having a branch cut off under him, crawled into another tree where John Loomer was waiting to nab him, and on the way back to camp Ray Owen captured another on a limb thirty feet from the ground. * * * * * * * Troop No. 5u chose a cabin site last Saturday and began cleaning it up. ******* A Redskin powwow will be held soon, probably on November 9.

The first branch, also, was dead and broke under Rayls weigpt, but the boy was too good a climber to lose his hold on the tree trunk. However, when he grasped the possum the animal retaliated by bi ting tho youth's wrist, whereupon both of them let loose of each other and down came the possum to the grou.YJ.d below. Still he lit on all fours and was about to make his get-away had it not been for Stewart Dean of Troop 50 who pounced up on the fleeing quarry.

' . CAMP CURRIER NEW§. November 20, 1828. The, big event at camp J_ast week was the barbecue for TroopsJ.l aP.d 34, winners and runners-up ~n the 1927 fall contest. After the close of the contest on December 31 there were so many weeks of uncertain weather that the affair finally 1"Tas po~tponed to be the opening event for the pr·es-· ent season, but on account of the absence of both scoutmasters there was a further postponement until. they both could be present, At last scoutmaster A.S. Fry of Troop No. 11 urged that there be no further delay becauce of his prolonged stay in Texas, and a!:\ it happened scoutmaster F.W. Morrison of Troop No. 34 wa$ ill on the C.ate set and after all both scoutmasters were conspicuous for their absenee. The feast was a sort of housewarming for No. 34•s new cabin where two tables were spread and the eats were served. by this troop in honor of the other one, their friends the victors. The bill-of-fare consisted of barbecued pig with dressing, hot· beans, rolls, pickles, pumpkin pie, and hot cocoa and apples. Following tho food the trophy was presented to Troop No, 11 by scout Executive W. Gordon Morris in a happy speech in which he alluded to the fact that in both of these troops are many scouts who are real campers. The prize given to No. 11 to keep until won by some other troop is a handmade hickory loving cup on which is burned the inscription "C.C.F.C. Troop :No, 11, 192T1 ; and there is additional space for the succeeding winners in the years to come, It is an interesting coincidence that scoutmaster Fry of the winning troop ougge3ted before the contest that the trophy be something of no material value but calculated to gather unto itself as the years pass a sentioantal value to make it a coveted prize, and this already is coming true as inciicated by the hot race now in progress to secure its possession during the coming year. Following the presentation of the trophy short talks were made by Deputy Commissioner Willard Ecy,;, AE>sistant Scoutmasters Lucian Smith and Edmund Orgill, and senior Pat:rol Lcs..d~rs Franklin Kimbrough and Ray Owen of the two troops, one of whom quite feelingly alluded to the most friendly way in which Nos. 11 and ~4 celebrated the victory of the former and defeat of the latter in the initial contest. *"'**** Last Saturday night 1s possum hunt was enjoyed by members of Troops No. 11 and 4Q, and the quarry as usual was caught by hand. Harold Roberts of No. 40 was the captor, and as it was a· .young one he took it home for a pet. **'!<*** Just ten days, including only one Saturday but two holidays, Thursday and Friday of next week, are left in the 1928 fall contest. * "' >t< * * * Yesterday the state Highway Department began dragging the new highway to camp currier, and hencefo~th it will be kept in increasingly good order. *"'**** An.Y scout who may wish at any time an extra copy of the Call!? currier News may obtain same at the Eoy scout Office. *"'**** A certain scout bought one of the captured possums and took it home with him last Sunday to try cooking it himself while his Mother is away on a visit. **"'*** The weekly council fire last Saturday fiight was under the auspices of Troop No. 11. * * * * *'* senator S .:s. Dean of Eudora, Miss., a member of Chickasaw council, receives the Carnp currier News at Jackson, the state capital, during the session of the legislature, and he reports that several of his law-making colleagues have become interested in camp that they ask him for this weekly sheet to read it themselves. CA~~ CURRIER NEWS November 27, 1928. Transportation to ca.mp currier is not a difficult problem if understood and planned for in time. Otherwise, however, it may cause._c.onsiderable inconvenience for all concerned. Here is one point that needs to be explained again: The 'bus drivers of Eudora carry school children mornings and evenings five days a week. On those days they can be reached by telephone about 8 A. M. and 3 P .M. But on Saturdays and SU.ndays it is hard to get in touch with them, and even then they usually a~e engaged in something else unless notified beforehand. scoutmasters should put in orders for these bu.ses not later than Friday noon. Last Saturday camp cu*rr*ie*r w*a*s *th*e *sc ene of a supper hike by members of the scout Leaders Training school. They obtained· a little outdoor experience, most of which was cooking their own suppers on campfires, and then the majority of those present decided to join the Boy scouts in the regular Saturday night possum hunt. It was a beautiful moonlight night and so mild that nobody could suffer mu.ch from the cold, even if not properly clothed for the outing, bu.t the clever little marsupials steadfastly refused to make an exhibition of themselves before this bunch of men. so it was decided to hold the· council fire while waiting for the hounds to put something up a tree. songs, stunts, speeches and story-telling made an interesting program for nearly an hour under the auspices of Troop No. 9, scoutmaster T.J. TUrner presiding, and then the men decided to return to camp and to Memphis. several of the boys, also, had to leave because of anxious parents awaiting their late arrival home, so that the hunting party was reduced to scoutmaster Ben Coffey and six of his Troop, No.l, and Edgar Gaulding of No. 40. Exactly at 11 o•clock the dogs treed their quarry and the flashlights found it far out on a limb fifty feet above the ground. scouts Walter Allen and Robert Reinert went up the tree but the animal was so far out of reac~ that it had to be shaken out. Landing in the very midst of the five boys below, it made haste to get away, but Edgar Gaulding, the lone representative of Troop No. 40, was too quick for it and soon arose from the melee of boys and dogs holding high his victim dnngling by its tail. His experience of the evening netted his Troop 700 po in ts in the contest. *****"'** A.W. Thomas, a farmer living five miles from the camp on the wa:y to Memphis , found a blanket roll with a leather vest, cooking kit., etc., evidently belonging to a scout, and it has been left at the Boy scout Office in Memphis.

December 5, 1928, scout Otis Tu.cker of troep No. ll was the hero of two possum captures on the hunt last Saturday night, catching one young animal only ten feet up in a small tree and grabbing by the throat a cross old he-possum that had been driven to its lair and stood there at bay with threatening, wide-open mouth and vicious growls. The first quarry was treed almost immediately after the hunters started from Uncle :sen Alexander• s home in the edge of the forest and we.s chucked into the towsack within tan minutes. The second was bagged about an hcur later. Their captor bought the large possum and took it home to skin and stretch its hide, while he and Spencer ]ell bought the small one to be kept as the mascot of the wolf patrol. * * * * * * * The heavy rains of Thursday and Friday cut down the attendance at car4{:> to seven troops, whereas several others had planned to spend the Thanksgiving week-end here. The road graveling, also, was stopped. * * * * * * * The winter c~ing program will be announced soon. ******* Assistant scoutina.ster Williford Bell and three scouts of troop No. 10 learned how to rive shingles, rived out enough for their cabin and put on a good CYPress roof in three days last week. They hope soon to have the cabin ready for occupancy. ******* The outcome of the second annual fall contest spread like wildfire throughout Memphis scouting circles last Saturday, troops No. 34 and 40 being the winners and ru.nners"""llp respectively, while No. 1 stood in third place just outside the money. Last year troop No. 34 was the runner-up and No. 40 was third. Fred w. Morrison and Edmund Orgill, respectively scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster of the winning troop, worked as enthusiastically as any two scouts in their organization and were as happy as any of the boys in the victory which their admirable teamwork achieved. Scoutmasters Joe w. Austin and Ben B. coff ey of the troops winning second and third place are to be congratulated upon the work done by their boys, who also probably will attain first place in this popular race before their scouting careers are finished, for they have proved themselves true outdoor scouts. The date for the barbecue and presentation of the contest trophy will be announced soon. -2- on the night before Thanksgiving a wildcat was caught in a trap about half a mile west of Cwip cu1'rier. Naxt morning the trapper, Earnest Roebuck, brought the hio.i:;, over es a present to the camp director, and it will become a greatly prized orncment in the Headquarters Cabin. This beautiful gift from Mr. Roebuck, a wsll-knovm and experienced woodsman of this community, is very much appreciated. The cat is supposed to be the mother of the two kittens which a couple of the young Roebuck children found and carri.ed home as pets last summer. Before these dangerous pets grew up they were sold for $5.00 apieca. ******* scoutmaster Howard Pritchard and his assistant, Thurman Crawford, were at camp two days the last week-end working on the new cabin for troop No. 5. ******* Dr. Howard cu.rl, who recently moved to Memphis from Shepoygan, Wis., where he was scoutmaster of a BOY scout troop, was a visitor at camp currier last Saturday. He and his two sons, both of whom are scouts, were guepts of scoutmaster T· J. TUrner and some menbers of his troop, No. 9.

It gives one a real thrill to follow the surveyors' lines on the actual site uf the proposed lake, for it enables a person to visualize what a beautiful body of water it will be. The location of the dam recommended by Engineer Markwell is on the west line of the camp in the large valley running due west from the cabin of Troop No • 10 for more than one-third of a mile. The main body of this \r alley is 200 feet wide and will make a perfect straight-away race course for swimming, rowing and sailing. The branch valley running in a southeasterly direction from the junction of the two at the point of Troop No. l6•s cabin site is about the same length as the main valley but somewhat narrower and both valleys are fringed with so many inlets of various sizes ·and shapes that it is plain to be seen that the lake will present the appearance of a perfectly natural body of' water bordered all around with steep, wooded banks. The surveyors• estimate of its size is twenty-two acres. * "' "' * * Scoutmaster J.W. Austin and fifteen members of Troop No. 40 spent the week-end at camp putting in the foundation of their cabin, the plans of which show one mo.in room 16 X 24 feet in size, a kitchen ell 9 X 10 and a front porch 8 X 15.

Report of Activities comnittee *** **** I feel that my report tonight should deal more with the functioning of the troops and Scout Leaders than it should with the more spectacular services that the boys have rendered during the past year. It has been my pleasure and privilege during the past year to have visited the ID.:1.jO:r.ity of the troops in Chickasaw council, and I feel that it is my duty tp report to this organization the exact conditions that I have found. I find an excellent spirit manifest in all the boys, and in the majority of the scoutmasters an ambition to better serve the troops they are leading. However, for some unknown reason, at the present time there is a great dearth in scout L~aders, and we have at the present time six troops without scoutmasters. This lack of scoutmasters is not due to any fault of the Executive or the Head.qu.artersr staff, but is due to the neglect of the parent institution and its failure to meet-its obligations. We have just completed a Scout Leaders• Training school, and I feel sure that some of these vacalicios will be filled by men who completed this school. It is my sincere belief that hereafter no man should be commissioned as scoutmaster who has not attended one of the scout Leaders' Training Schools, or who will in the near future attend one; and, furthermore, that no institution should be granted the privilege of sponsoring a Boy scout Troop unless they can to the satisfaction of the Troop Qrganhation committee show that they intend to furnish a competent scoutmaster and a qualified Troop committee, and who, in the case of vacancies of a scoutmaster or Troop corrmi tteeman, will fill fro.m their own ranks, with the aid and cooperation of the scout Executive, the positions vacated. To my mind troop permanency is a far greater need than new troop organization. V{hat we need in scouting today is quality, not quanity; efficiency, rather than numerical strength. And, so I say that we should carefully scrutinize each application from an organization for a charter for a Boy Scout Troop. To the majority of you men who are not so familiar with the ]oy scout work, I cannot in the short time I have tonight explain what it means to have an untrained scout Lead.er in charge of boys Who are seeking to adopt the Boy scout program to their own use. As concisely as I can put it, it is this: All untrained leader means dissat~ isfied, restless, and mischevious boys, who in a very short period of time will be lost to the :soy scout program and who will have missed .. the greatest thing that scouting teaches, and a boy twelve years old once lost can never be regained. That is the penalty of untrained leadership, or the absolute lack of leadership. ,And, so I say to you �MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHICK.AS.AW COUNCIL, John E• Rober ts Walte r Lane Smith A•, D.

'I1he time has come for us to supply men who are willing to give l1adership rather than men who have gained for themselves a big name in 'bu.•iness~ This is not a utopian idea 1 btJ,t a cold; practical business 1tateli.lent, and these ideas will be put into force under the new constitution that has been adopted here tonight, and let me ask that you all give 100 percent cooperation i~ putting across this new idea in scouting. I feel sure that under the reports of the various standing committees you will hear of the many meritorious activities the scouts of Memphis have entered into, and so here let me merely name them in the order. in which they came during the year~ and leave to the other gentlemen the privilege of enlarging on this subject: .Anniversay Week Merit Eadge Exposition Placed flags for community Fund and removed same after COlill!IUl.lity Fund Drive Assisted in the office of the Coomunity Fund Ushered at National conference of social Workers at Auditoriuo for one week Ushered for Izaak Walton League Helped Memphis park corm::iission in Halloween celebration Armistice J)ay parade Assisted in unloading cars at "shower" given by the Lighthouse Mission . Distributed posters for Shelby County Tuberculosis society ~oodfellows snnta Claus Club scout Lenders' Round Table Eeing responsible for all of the activities of the council, I Wllllt at this tiue to cor:nend cost heartily the efficient manner in which our Executive has handled the affairs of the council and the splendid spirit that he has developed az;.1ong the leaders m:i.d the scouts in this cor:imuni ty. Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight is gone, the records of that year are written, and now it is tiue for us to turn our eyes towards the possibilities of.1929 to see what outstanding services we can be of during thatyear and what part the scouts a.re going to play in their community. In 1929 scouting will be twenty-one yea.rs old, and in comnemoration of this event there is being held in England sor:ie time in the latter part of the su..'T.ler, a world-wide JaLlboree to which every scout in the united States is invited to attend. The Chickasaw council should be represented at this Jamboree. We were represented by two boys at the last Jamboree, and I feel that we should be represented by two more· at the present Jamboree. The cost of this Jamboree will be about $600.00 per boy, and if we are to be represented by two we should endeavor to secure. by donation enough money to send two boys to England. These two boys may be �adde d to by scou ts who wish to pay thei r own way. If that occa sion rise s 1 t will be so rJUch the bett er for· us. Thes e two boys shou ld be .chos en by indi vidu al cog; >etit ion, c:ind of cour se would go to Engl and only unde r comp etent lead ersh ip, whic h, I belie ve, will be avai lable wher e the Coun cil itse lf does not furn ish a lead er. This is a. r:ia".;ter I feel shou ld be discu ssed , and I hope1 there will be sor:ie disc ussio n on this :oatte:r. enti rely . In clos ing I would like to SB:il that I belie ve the enti re func tioni ng of the Co'9D cil is in the best shap e that. it has ever been , and I feel sure that ther e are grea ter thin gs ahead of us in J.929.

Through the courtesy of W.W. cox, the new superviso r of the rood district in which the camp is located, the northwest road through the oarnp has been graded for the first time. During this year there have been a number of barbecues at the c~np, among which was the Civitan club picnic, under the auspices of Troop 33, Get..iroge ther Day for which Wes attended by more than one hundred people. the scouts attracted mere than one hundred and fifty boys to camp, the lurgest number that has ever been in camp at any one time. The Fall Contest during the months of October and November was of tremendou s interest to the This contest was won by Troop 34, while Troop 40 was second, and boys. Troop 1 wes third. The barbecue for the winners of the 1927 F~l contest, which was won by Troop 11 with Troop 34 second, was well attended, and we expect to have another barbecue for the winners of the 1928 contest in the very near future. The camp has been greatly benefitte d by the graveled road which hos been built from the camp entrance to the heedquar ters through the efforts of Mr. Walter Lane smith, Chairman of the Finance committee , who raised the money for this work. Without this road it would be impossibl e to get A new road started by Senator to camp from the highway during wet weather. s.E. Dean, who is a resident of Eudora, has been built from the healiquar ters cabin northward to the extreme north end of the camp, thus making it possible for automobil es to reach every part of the camp. On completio n of the lnke,· it is planned to connect this road and the northwest road by means of a driveway over the dam so that it will be possible to drive to the entire northern end of the camp. �-2- Report of Caup Currier Committee (Continue d) For 1929 ';7e recommend: l, That a lake be built. 2.

That the woodwork on all lodges be painted green before the new season. 8. That Headquar ters building be entirely screened, as there are no screens in it at present. 9. That curtains be purchased for the Reception Room at Headquarters, and that the room be fixed. up as attractiv ely as possible for reception of visitors. 10. That new screen doors be put on eight lodges, a.~d that the remaining eight doors be screened. In screening these doors ond in installin g now doors, one-inch mesh chicken wire placAd ov.ar the screen would be of much ass is tanc a in preserving the ~ife of the doors as it will prevent boys from pushing holes in the wire when they open the door. Also a wooden piece should be put across these doors on the inside so that the boys will push the door open on the wood insteai of on the wire. 1 11. That a new Handicra ft $hop be built. 12. That a new Hospital be built, and that a latrine be a part of the equip~ent. In the hospital or adjacent to it there should be a shower bath for use of the boys in ca.mp who are not sick.

At this schoo l a number of boys as well as men were train ed, and it has. been the means of insur ing the permanency of the two negro troop s which were formed durin g the year. For 1929 we urge that Chickasaw counc every effor t to secur e addit ional scout Leade rs, and when il make these leade rs have been found to conduct suffi cient train ing schoo train these men prope rly, as we do not believ e troop:; will ls to be manent unles s led by traine d leade rs. we reque st the Dfumber perof the counc il to advis e us whenever a candi date for Scout .~i ship is avail able, so that we may get in touch with him andmaste.rarrange a traini ng schoo l for his bene fit.

It seems to me that ov.r counc il is moral ly bound to build ed a lake in 1929, espec ially as thls projec t has been in view for over four years.

This is the white boys real challenge to our counc il, espec ially as there are 58 church es in Memph which have never sponsored a scout troop. We should have at least is alone 15 new troops and 3QO new scouts and let me urge that the counc il exert every effort to secure this increa se during the year 1929. This can be done if men can be found to lead the boys so I recommend that Traini ng Schoo scout Leade rs be conducted by the counc il at least twice each year, ls for traine d leader ship means troop permanency, Troops organi zed withou as ed leader s are seldom pdrma:nent and troop morta lity can largel y be t traintraced to the lack of traine d scoutm asters . �RJl.:POHT OF SCUUT lWClYrIVE 12-31-27.

I therefore heartily recorm1end that the .i;;xecu.tive be made the Qa."llp Director with full power to operate Kamp Kia Kima. The council is now conducting a Scout Leaders•. Training School. It is highly important that tl;te men who are to be Scoutmasters: or Scout r.eaders should be trained in scouting• and while this Training School is somewhat of ~m expense to the council.,. it is very desirable and I heartil~r recommend 'that it be made a part of eueh yeart s program. and that the men who a.re ~>coutmastera and have never taken this training be required to take the course. and that those desiring to. be scoutmasters be asked to · telte this training before assuming charge of a troop. 'l1hree stores. in the city o;f Memphis; namely, the Netv :Brys, Phil .A.,,. Halle, and J.

They further presented the Chickasaw c01..meil with 5,000 scout blotters. which were very acceptable. and have been of great use to us in advertising the scout movement in this city. The three stores f'u.rt;h.er cooperated with Headquarters during the .AJJ.niversary week by the use of display windows. and by putting ::aoy scout stickers in the .outgoing mail. The New Br,;ys used 12.500; Phil A. Halle, i.ooo; and J. Goldsmith and sons, 2,000. 1l'his has been very beneficial to the Council, and has been appreciated very till.ch.

Willard Hays, Mr. Joe Flanagan, Mr. :Ben Coffey and ?.ir. W.F. Heiskell for their splendid work in conducting the scwut Leaders Training School which closed on NoveL1ber 24th a.nd which was the direct cause of securing four new scoutraasters as well as training nine other men for scoutmastership•, Chickasaw Council started scouting among negro boys in the early part of 1928 and this movement has been a.~ unqualified success. The negroes have not only taken keen interest in the work but they have conducted themselves so well that there has been no friction whatsoever between the negro troops and the white troops. ~here has been no objection by white ScoutmBsters or Scouts as to the formation of these two negro troops and in 1929 I suggest that four or more negro troops be organized. In planning the work of the council for 1929 I recommend: l. That two or more Training schools for white leaders be conducted. 2. That at least one Training School for negro leaders bo conducted. 3. That all members of the council report to council Headquarters the names of o.en whom they con-sider to be fit cv.ndid«tcs for scoutrnastership. f· 4. That a lake be built v.t cor.-:p currier. 5. That a reliable means of transportation to camp currier be arranged so that troops will have easy access to the car:'.!P at all times. 6. That at least eight boys representing the council attend the Third International Jwnboree which will be held in Arrowe Park, Eirhenhead, England from July 3Q to August 14th, 1929 at which at least 1,000 1v:cricon scouts are expected to attend. 7. That throUf'Jl educati ono.l publicity and other c.eans Dn• organized effort be made to educate the public at large and especially heads of churches and other institutions, as to the values of scouting, and by so doing to assist in the formation of additional troops. 8. That Sea Scouting be given a proIJ.inent place ~n council activities and a sailboat secured for the use of the Sea scouts. scouting is a vital force in community welfare and is tremendously helpful as a supplenent to the work of the Churches. In conclusion I want to thank each and every one of you gentlemen who have so materially helped in working out the scout prograu and I earnestly request your continued help and support in making scouting available to the boys of the Council area.

Report of Activities comnittee * * * * * * * I feel that my report tonight should deal more with the functioning of the troops and Scout Leaders than it should with the more spectacular services that the boys have rendered during the past year. It has been my pleasure and privilege during the past year to have visited the ID.:1.jO:r.ity of the troops in Chickasaw council, and I feel that it is my duty tp report to this organization the exact conditions that I have found. I find an excellent spirit manifest in all the boys, and in the majority of the scoutmasters an ambition to better serve the troops they are leading. However, for some unknown reason, at the present time there is a great dearth in scout L~aders, and we have at the present time six troops without scoutmasters. This lack of scoutmasters is not due to any fault of the Executive or the Head.qu.artersr staff, but is due to the neglect of the parent institution and its failure to meet-its obligations. We have just completed a Scout Leaders• Training school, and I feel sure that some of these vacalicios will be filled by men who completed this school. It is my sincere belief that hereafter no man should be commissioned as scoutmaster who has not attended one of the scout Leaders' Training Schools, or who will in the near future attend one; and, furthermore, that no institution should be granted the privilege of sponsoring a Boy scout Troop unless they can to the satisfaction of the Troop Qrganhation committee show that they intend to furnish a competent scoutmaster and a qualified Troop committee, and who, in the case of vacancies of a scoutmaster or Troop corrmi tteeman, will fill fro.m their own ranks, with the aid and cooperation of the scout Executive, the positions vacated. To my mind troop permanency is a far greater need than new troop organization. V{hat we need in scouting today is quality, not quanity; efficiency, rather than numerical strength. And, so I say that we should carefully scrutinize each application from an organization for a charter for a Boy Scout Troop. To the majority of you men who are not so familiar with the ]oy scout work, I cannot in the short time I have tonight explain what it means to have an untrained scout Lead.er in charge of boys Who are seeking to adopt the Boy scout program to their own use. As concisely as I can put it, it is this: All untrained leader means dissat~ isfied, restless, and mischevious boys, who in a very short period of time will be lost to the :soy scout program and who will have missed .. the greatest thing that scouting teaches, and a boy twelve years old once lost can never be regained. That is the penalty of untrained leadership, or the absolute lack of leadership. ,And, so I say to you MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE l\ ~)'' \ -"\ -y CHICK.AS.AW COUNCIL, :a. s.A.

'I1he time has come for us to supply men who are willing to give l1adership rather than men who have gained for themselves a big name in 'bu.•iness~ This is not a utopian idea 1 btJ,t a cold; practical business 1tateli.lent, and these ideas will be put into force under the new constitution that has been adopted here tonight, and let me ask that you all give 100 percent cooperation i~ putting across this new idea in scouting. I feel sure that under the reports of the various standing committees you will hear of the many meritorious activities the scouts of Memphis have entered into, and so here let me merely name them in the order. in which they came during the year~ and leave to the other gentlemen the privilege of enlarging on this subject: .Anniversay Week Merit Eadge Exposition Placed flags for community Fund and removed same after COlill!IUl.lity Fund Drive Assisted in the office of the Coomunity Fund Ushered at National conference of social Workers at Auditoriuo for one week Ushered for Izaak Walton League Helped Memphis park corm::iission in Halloween celebration Armistice J)ay parade Assisted in unloading cars at "shower" given by the Lighthouse Mission . Distributed posters for Shelby County Tuberculosis society ~oodfellows snnta Claus Club scout Lenders' Round Table Eeing responsible for all of the activities of the council, I Wllllt at this tiue to cor:nend cost heartily the efficient manner in which our Executive has handled the affairs of the council and the splendid spirit that he has developed az;.1ong the leaders m:i.d the scouts in this cor:imuni ty. Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight is gone, the records of that year are written, and now it is tiue for us to turn our eyes towards the possibilities of.1929 to see what outstanding services we can be of during thatyear and what part the scouts a.re going to play in their community. In 1929 scouting will be twenty-one yea.rs old, and in comnemoration of this event there is being held in England sor:ie time in the latter part of the su..'T.ler, a world-wide JaLlboree to which every scout in the united States is invited to attend. The Chickasaw council should be represented at this Jamboree. We were represented by two boys at the last Jamboree, and I feel that we should be represented by two more· at the present Jamboree. The cost of this Jamboree will be about $600.00 per boy, and if we are to be represented by two we should endeavor to secure. by donation enough money to send two boys to England. These two boys may be added to by scouts who wish to pay their own way. If that occasion rises 1 t will be so rJUch the better for· us. These two boys should be .chosen by individual cog;>etition, c:ind of course would go to England only under competent leadership, which, I believe, will be available where the Council itself does not furnish a leader. This is a. r:ia".;ter I feel should be discussed, and I hope1 there will be sor:ie discussion on this :oatte: r. entirely. In closing I would like to SB:il that I believe the entire functioning of the Co'9Dcil is in the best shape that. it has ever been, and I feel sure that there are greater things ahead of us in J.929.

Report of Camp Currier Committee. ~e Camp currier conmi ttee reports that during the past year some progr~ Be ~s been made in the camp, but we do not feel that this camp will ~vor reach the full extent of its usefulness until a lake is built. When this Bite was purchased, the scouts were told that a lake would be built, ond we believe the council is morally bound to build this lake during 1S29 a1 the ca.mp is now four years old and this important feature should not be poatponed any longer. Most of the troops have built cabins on the proposed lake site, and they expect us to build the lake. '!here is now a gravel road from Memphis to the headquarters cabin, thiB being the first year that we have enjoyed a hard surface road all the WIJ¥ to camp. Through the courtesy of W.W. cox, the new supervisor of the rood district in which the camp is located, the northwest road through the oarnp has been graded for the first time. During this year there have been a number of barbecues at the c~np, among which was the Civitan club picnic, under the auspices of Troop 33, which Wes attended by more than one hundred people. Get..irogether Day for the scouts attracted mere than one hundred and fifty boys to camp, the lurgest number that has ever been in camp at any one time. The Fall Contest during the months of October and November was of tremendous interest to the boys. This contest was won by Troop 34, while Troop 40 was second, and Troop 1 wes third. The barbecue for the winners of the 1927 F~l contest, which was won by Troop 11 with Troop 34 second, was well attended, and we expect to have another barbecue for the winners of the 1928 contest in the very near future. The camp has been greatly benefitted by the graveled road which hos been built from the camp entrance to the heedquarters through the efforts of Mr. Walter Lane smith, Chairman of the Finance committee, who raised the money for this work. Without this road it would be impossible to get to camp from the highway during wet weather. A new road started by Senator s.E. Dean, who is a resident of Eudora, has been built from the healiquarters cabin northward to the extreme north end of the camp, thus making it possible for automobiles to reach every part of the camp. On completion of the lnke,· it is planned to connect this road and the northwest road by means of a driveway over the dam so that it will be possible to drive to the entire northern end of the camp. -2- Report of Caup Currier Committee (Continued) For 1929 ';7e recommend: l, That a lake be built. 2.

Report of Civic Relations Conmittee The civic Relations Committee reports that during the past year the scouts have been of vast assistance to numerous organlzations in Memphis. During the comnuni ty Fund Drive they placed posters in the windows of the principal stores throughout the downtown district, and also distributed posters to the various churches. They put flag poles in the sidewalks on the principal downtown streets, and then placed American Flags and conmuni ty Fund Flags on these poles. After the Drive they removed these flags and returned them to the community Fund. On several occasions scouts have distributed posters for the Shelby county TUberculosis society. They have also helped the Lighthouse Mission in assembling food for the poor. During the National conference of social Workers Scouts, acted as ushers at each session for one week, and also distributed programs. on Halloween scout troops assisted the Memphis Park Commission in their programs at the various playgrounds. scouts have ':1lso served as ushers for the Izaak Wal ton League, and at a :S. Y.P .• U. meeting at which Governor Horton spoke. For 1929 we recommend thnt scouts do every civic good turn possible, but we also re commend that the scout Executive be authorized to refuse to send scouts to organizations which in his judgement are calling for boys needlessly or who nre using scouts for indoor work which is not liked by the boys. During the year numerous requests have been made for scouts to serve in parades Cllld functions which were commercial entirely, and which this committee has had to refuse. Hence, we recommend that all requests for use of our boys be carefully considered by the committee before approval. Respectfully submitted, CIVIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE BY John T. Morgan Chairman.

S~ .!_. ANNUAL ME~ nm DEC. 13 t 1928. -·--......................... ··- Kamp Kia Kima closed its 13th season with the best financial record it has ever hrul., as the ca.mp only had a deficit of $.1.41. 77 for t.h.1 season. At the beginning of the camp, unusi.ially heavy continued ruins i:u. Memphis, as well as in c~, · cause·l the attendance to be very low, only forty-four boys being in camp the first two weaks. In spite of this handicap, the average weeldy ·attencla:ace :i.n ca.mp this season was seventy boys as compared to sixty-six and a halt~ last year, and there was a total of. 211 boys in CaJl!P during the season as compared with 192 last season. $657.43 was spent for equipment this year, which included the price of a complete set of tools for the carpentry shop. This is $247.70 more than was spent for equipment last season. In addition to this, Mra. M· J. Spears donated $100.00 which was used to purchase a new Fairbanks-Morse me z 2 horse power engj.ne for $56. 00, and a new ce.noe for $40. 00. This engine was a constant source of pleasure, as it gave splendid service throughout the season and an abundance of water was always available, which has not been the case in the past due to a faulty engine. The health of the boys was very~good through camp with the exception of five cases of Malaria. The greatest precaution was taken to pre·vent Malaria, and 120 gallons of crude oil were used to spray the stagnai1t water within a radius of one-half m.Ue of ca.mp. This was about twice as much oil as was used last season. The boys _also sprl'lyed the viciui ty of the Girl scout camp as a "good turn", and thoy also conducted a hunt for breed:.l.ng places of mosqu.itoea in the vicinity of the Girl scout comp, the same as th~y did at Kamp Kia Kima. There were on:).y two serious aiJcidents, one boy susta5ning a severe cut in his right knee and another·having his right fore ~rm broken, each accident being caused by a fa.ll while running. we are pa:i.~ticulci.rly proud of the camp's record in preventing infection this sea.con. Each louge was equ.ipped with a bottle of mercurochrome, which the boys used frequently and which was doubtless largely responsible for the lack of jnfection. No boys were sent home.with infected legs or other infections this season. Du.ring this year Kamp Kia Kima has made wonderful prog:;:-ess in building construction, due to the gen•rosity af' Mr. Edward M. Salomon, vho gave $1,500.00 for the construction of a two-story headquarters ledge rr.ade of native stone, and ta nr. Max Goltman, who gave $200. 00 for the construction af' a stone lodge. Kamp Kia Kima now has all stone lodges, a stone hea.dq11.arters lodge, and a stone visitors lodge, The wooden buildings in camp are the mes~ hall, recreation hall, hospital, and the warehouse. The new headquarters was of tremendous help to the camp Director this season, as it is something that has been badly needed for a number of years. -2- Report of Kamp Kia Kima committee continued we recon:mend the following as necessary for the continued progress of Kamp Kia Kima: 1. That a tennis court be built of concrete. 2. That a new recreation hall be built. 3. That plans be n:ad.e to secure a new mess hall within the ne:xt. two years. 4 •. ~ot a shower bath be instaJ.led. so that all boys in camp will have the cpportuni ty for bathing. 5. 1hat a restriction be placed on visitors and the length of their sta.y. 6. That a thoroughly experienced Mess sergeant be employed. A really good Mess sergeant at a salary of $75 •. 00 for the season will not only help in the preparation and selection of the food served, but will save m~ney for the c~. 7. That the woodwork on all lodges be painted green before the new season. 8. That Headquarters building be entirely screened, as there are no screens in it at present. 9. That curtains be purchased for the Reception Room at Headquarters, and that the room be fixed. up as attractively as possible for reception of visitors. 10. That new screen doors be put on eight lodges, a.~d that the remaining eight doors be screened. In screening these doors ond in installing now doors, one-inch mesh chicken wire placAd ov.ar the screen would be of much ass is tanc 1a in preserving the ~ife of the doors as it will prevent boys from pushing holes in the wire when they open the door. Also a wooden piece should be put across these doors on the inside so that the boys will push the door open on the wood insteai of on the wire. 11. That a new Handicraft $hop be built. 12. That a new Hospital be built, and that a latrine be a part of the equip~ent. In the hospital or adjacent to it there should be a shower bath for use of the boys in ca.mp who are not sick. This could be a small room of stone and would not be very expensive. -3- Report of Kao.!;> Kia KirJa coor:iittee continued 13. That at least two fire extiugu:i.shers be purcha.sed, as there iit no fi:re protection in ca.mp with the exception of water. 14. That a Handicrc.ft Expert be secured and placed in charge of the shop 8nd tools for next season, and that more intenstve work be done. 15. That a new latrine be built on the east side of camp. 16. That one oe:~ber of the caop staff the past season be invit, ed to attenc1.. the L.leet:i.ngs of the caup conw.ittee in an advisory cape.city. 17, That Ike :Baskin, cook, and Richard Madison, cook's Assistant, be eqployed for next se3son, as they cid splendid work this season ane. are ~ell liked by the boys. 18. That the kitchen sink be lined ttith zinc, or a new one be installed. 19. That early in this year an experienced Car.:tp Director be e:q,loyed to direct the carJp fer the ensuing camp season. That tne COI:!:p director be given autho~ity to appoint his stuff and that he be held res:ponsible to the car:ip col:.T.littee for ths discipline in the canp of the officers and employees.

Report of Inter Racial Activities com:.1ittee . ******* The committee on Inter Racial Activities, composed of Messrs. Bolton Smith, Allen Hughes, Jr., and nyself, was appointed by the President and authorized to organize two colored Boy scout Troops and to see that Scouting was presented in its proper light to the CTembers of the colored race. This committee irNuediately secured the services of J.A. Beauchamp, Assistant Field Director of Inter Racial Activities, acting under Mr. Stanley Harris, Uational Director of Inter Racial Activities, and authorized him to conduct a scant Leaders Training school for negro loaders. This Training School was held at the Booker T. Washington School nnd lasted for one ~eek, and was attended by some fifteen colored leaders. The colored Advisory co:-.mi ttee was then organized consisting of G.P. Hamiltan, Henry c. Daniels, M.s. Stewart, W.E. Foote, ~ind Alonza Locke, after which two troops of colored scouts were organized, one in the central Baptist Church ni1d one in the Centenary Methodist Church. These troops were regtJ.larly inspected 1.-.nd visi tcd by l:lembers of the cor11i ttee and after four r:ionths of successful operation were grlll'lted charters by Chickasaw Council, Boy Scouts of NJerica, with the understanding that they would not purchase uniforms until permission of the council was obtained. Your CoLlrlittee reports that the character of the leadership has been most excellent, that the spirit of cooperation has been good and that the activities of the boys have been excellent and your Committee feels and recoranends that they be authorized to organize four or more other GOlored scout Troops in churches to be selected by the comnittee. Your conmittee further reports that there should be careful supervision by the Committee and that they procure the services of J.A. Eeauchar.:?p at once for another Scout Leaders Training school.

Report of publicity Qomnittee * * * * * * "' YO!.lr Comnittee reports that during 1928 the Memphis pressscimitar has given splendid cooperation by running a one-quarter page known as the 11 scout press-Scimitar" once each week. Th.is page is widely reaA by the scouts, and is of mu.ch assistance to council Head.quarters in keeping all of the scouts informed of the various activities. The Memphis Evening Appeal for the last few months has been giving us a considerable amount of space, and this is also greatly appreciated. During the Merit Badge EXPOsition,the comnercial ,Appeal printed several editorials and notices of this event, and afterwards ran pictures of the three winning booths in the rotogravure section of the pa~ per. The comnercial Appeal was also very good in publishing news of Kamp Kia Kima•s acti·vities during the summer months. The scouts aided the community Fund in securing publicity by putting on two first aid demonstrations on south court street during the community FU.nd Drive. Each of these demonstrations attracted a large crowd and gave considerable help to the publicity campaign of the fund. council Headquarters publishes a bulletin each week, which ·is known as the 11 council Fire". Th.is bulletin is aen t to all of the scoutmasters, Assistant scoutmasters, and Chairmen of the Troop committees. The council has rece:;,1tly purchased a mimeoscope, as well as an addressograph, and in the f·<J.t;u::e it is planned to enlarge the '1 council Fire" so that it may be of more use to the scoutmasters and othe:i.~s to whom it is sent. For the coming year we recomnend that especial efforts be made to secure additional space in the newspapers and that editorials, news items, and other publicity features be used as often as possible. We believe that news articles which are educational to the general public as to the value of scouting should be used as often as possible,as we find that the majority of the people of Memphis do not know the true aims and ideals of scouting. we also recon:mend that the council members assist scout Headquarters in securing publicity and also in using publicity as a help toward the education of the public~ Respectfully submitted, PUBLICITY OOMMITrEE. :SY Edward M. Salomon Chairman. ..Qfil.Q!μSAW COUNCIL, :B. S. A. ANNO.AL MEETING DEC. 13. 1928. Report of Reading Committee Your comnittee reports that there is a considerable interest in :BOYS' LIFE, the official magazine of the ]oy scouts of America and that a number of troops have taken adt·antage of the offer of one-half price when fifty percent of the troop subscribes for the magazine at the time the troop is registered., This magazine is of especial interest to boys, and it is being rapidly improved. several of our boys are deeply interested in aviation and quite a number of them are becoming interested. A special Aviation Department has been created in BOYS' LIFE and this will doubtless be of much interest to many Memphis scouts. Last year the books sent to Kamp Kia Kima were not all. interesting subjects to boys, and this yeHr the selection was more carefully ma.de so that the books were of interest to the scouts in camp and they were very widely read. Also a large nurnber of Merit Badge pamphlets were available in camp and these were used extensively. In the bulletin issued by iteadquarters and known as 11 The Council Fire" attention has been called to various subjects and items in BOYS' LIFE with the idea of encouraging our boys to read as it is a proven fact that information gathered from the printed page is more readily absorbed by a boy than any other method of teaching. Jor 1929 we recommend that all boys be encouraged to read BOYS' LIFE as well as good books. We suggest that book lists of selected books be furnished them and that the Council's Reading Cammi ttee cooperate with the school libraries as well as the public li braries in an endeavor to promote worth while reading, We also recommend that camp libraries be established at both Kamp Kia Kfr·,a and Camp currier, with a number of good books owned by the camp in addition to the books which are supplied by the Cossitt Library. .Any member of tho council having a surplus of books will greatly benefit these camps by donating to them. we would also appreciate the donation of magazines for Camp currier, as they would be very useful, especially on rainy days, We suggest to the incoming president that in appointing the next Reading committee due regard be given to the appointment of persons especially interested in Training, Camping, court of Honor and publicity and that one member be appointed to represent the schools and one the libraries.

Report of Training Comnittee. * * * * * * Your comnittee reports that only one school for training Scout Leaders was conducted by the council this year, but this school was very success~ul. Fourteen men took the Minimum course of the Five-Year Training Program. Of these men three are now serving as scoutmasters; two are now serving as Assistant scoutmasters j two are now serving as Chairmen of Troop comnittees; and, three are prospective Scoutmasters for new troops·. These men were . very enthusiastic over the training, and the attendance at the school was exceptional. your Committee also conducted a Training School for Negro scout Leaders under the direction of J. A. Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A· Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities. At this school a number of boys as well as men were trained, and it has. been the means of insuring the permanency of the two negro troops which were formed during the year. For 1929 we urge that Chickasaw council make every effort to secure additional scout Leaders, and when these leaders have been found to conduct sufficient training schools to train these men properly, as we do not believe troop:; will be permanent unless led by trained leaders. we request the Dfumber.~i of the council to advise us whenever a candidate for Scoutmaste.rship is available, so that we may get in touch with him and arrange a training school for his benefit. We recommend that another training school for negroes be conducted in the near future l;Uld that at this scb.ooi sufficient negro leaders are trained to take care of the number of troops which are authorized by the council at this meeting. we believe J. A· Beauchamp can be secured to conduct this school, and that it will be the means of promoting the work among negro boys. Respectfully subnitted, TRAINING COMMITTEE. BY Allen Hughes 1 Jr. Chairman. CHICKASAW COUNCIL, B. $, A. ANNUAL ME1J!JTING DEC. 13, 1928. Report of Troop organization committee * * * * ... * * * ******** There were three troops organized during 1928. They are as follows : Troop NO. 55 (Sea Scout) Troop No. 27 Troop No. 38 Idlewild Presbyterian Church Decatur street Christian Church Larmar Heights Pres. Church There were two troops formed of negro boys as follows: Troop NO. 100 Troop No. 101 Centenary Methodist Church central Eaptist Church For 1929, we recommend that at least fifteen new troops be formed among white boys and as many colored troops as is deemed advisable by the President of the council. However, we recommend that the institution furnish its own leadership when organizing a new troop and that the leaders appointed by the institution receive training before being allowed to take charge Of the troop. We believe there is a great deal better chance for troop permanency if the scoutmaster has received the training required in the Minimum course of the "Five Year Training Program" and believe that if this policy is followed. the troops which are established in 1929 will continue on a sound basis instead of dying gradually as is the case when lead by untrained men. 'lb.ere are eight churches who have indicated that they desire a scout Troop but organization has not been attempted on account of lack of leadership. We urge the Council to do everything possible to secure scout leaders as scouting cannot progress unless leaders are available. Respectfully submitted, TROOP ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE. :SY M. E.

Report of scout Executive *"!*"'**** Chickasaw council now has 44 troops of white boys and 2 troops of negro boys with a total enrollment of 1,137 scouts. These boys are receiving the benefit of splendid training from their scoutmasters and are d9ing very fine work. The Memphis Rotary Club, under the leadership of :'r. Seddon Allen, president and Mr. George V. Klimes, General Chairman of the Rotary Committee, sponsored the first Merit Badge Exposition in Memphis and in Region 5. This was the most outstanding event in the history of Memphis scouting• The Memphis Rotary Club offered $165.00 in prizes and the West H.all of the Auditorium was used to house 37 booths in which the troops demonstrated and exhibited the various Merit Badge subjects. }~ore than.11,0CO p~ople attended the Exposition including the Regional Executive and scout Executives from five councils. Chickasaw council has received a fine amount of publicity from this event, as Mr. iiarold w. Lewman, Regional Executive, has sent programs an.a other data regarding the Exposition to all of the councils in the Region in an endeavor to stimlilate them to similar activities. Due to the generosity of the Rotary. club hundreds of free tickets were distributed so that all boys in Memphis might have the opportunity of seeing the EJCposi ti on. T.i.lorefore, the Exposition lost about $500.00, which the Rotary Club paid. We are deeply indebted to the Rotarians for this splendid cooperation in showing the public what scouts can do and I want to thank Mr. Allen and Mr. Klimes for their untiring efforts which made the Exposition such a wonderful success. Ka.mp Kia Kima closed its most successful year in 1928 and this in spitlt of obstacles caused by high water at the beginning of the camping season which materially lessened the attendance during the first two weeks. Through the generosity of Mr. Edward M. Salomon, Kia Kima now has a beautiful two story Headquarters Lodge built of native stone. This building has been needed for a number of years and we are tremendously indebted to Mr. Salomon for it, as it is one of the finest buildings I have ever seen in a scout Camp. Dr. Max Goltman donated a fine stone lodge to the camp and this is deeply appreciated, as it completes the buildings necessary to house all of the boys in stone lodges. During the year our scouts have rendered aid to many civic enterprises and their good turns have been appreciated by the numerous organizations which have been helped. The boys have done splendid work and have always responded when called on to aid the community Fund Drive, Shelby county TUberculosis society and others. -2- R~ort of !cout Executive C~ Currier is becoming increasingly valuable to our scouts but I do not believe it will ever reach the fullest extent of its usefulness until a lake is built. When this carap was purchased. the boys were promised a lake and the majority of the troops• ca.bins are built near the proposed lake site. It seems to me that ov.r council is morally bound to build a lake in 1929, especially as thls project has been in view for over four years. Your Executive has had loyal and unselfish support, as well as sound advice from President John E. Roberts, as he has been untiring in his efforts to aid the Dow:icil to progress, I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his excellent support and help. I also want to thank Commissioner Ross A. Mathews and ;~ssistant commissioner Allen Hughes, Jr. for their splendid cooperation, as they have devoted their time freely and gladly in helping to handle the problems of the council. They have at all times worked with your Executive and have done everything they could to build scouting in Me!T.$)his. It has been a pleasure to work with the members of the Advisory Board, for these gentlemen have not only l)een willing and ready to serve when called on, but have continuall~' woi:k~d for the betterment of the council in trying to assist your Executive in any and a.11 undertakings. I sincerely hope tha.t in 1929 a large m .. u:1ber of the council Members will take an active part in helping our boys to become men of character trained for citizenship, Memphis has three official outfitters, namely, The New Bry•s, J. Goldsmith & sons co. and Phil A. Halle. These firms have cooperated whenever possible, the New Bryt s through Mr. Edward M. Salomon, having given especially fine assistance to the council in furni.sh5.ng space for the National council Exhibit of scout Equipment and also furnishing the services of Rotan-Tonka, the Ojibway Indian, who spent the month of March working with Girl and Boy scouts and other civic bodies. ci.:ticl><:.suw council• s area; which is Shelby county, Tennessee and Desoto county, Mississippi, has a population of about 303,QOO and of this number approximately 12,000 are boys of scout age, that is from 12 to 15 inclusive. 32% of the population is negro, therefore, there are a.bout 8,000 white boys and 4,COO negro boys who are eligible for scouting. This is the real challenge to our council, especially as there are 58 churches in Memphis alone which have never sponsored a scout troop. We should have at least 15 new troops and 3QO new scouts and let me urge that the council exert every effort to secure this increase during the year 1929. This can be done if men can be found to lead the boys so I recommend that Training Schools for scout Leaders be conducted by the council at least twice each year, as trained leadership means troop permanency, Troops organized without trained leaders are seldom pdrma:nent and troop mortality can largely be traced to the lack of trained scoutmasters. RJl.:POHT OF SCUUT lWClYrIVE 12-31-27. The Chickasaw council now has Forty-six (46) active troops. and has a total enrollment of 1171 scouts. 1hree troons in the C0u11cil are now wi thou.t scoutuasters, but I hope that within ~ few weeks t11er;,e tr.oops wil 1 all have scou trnasters. All of the troops ~e very active at the present time. ';he Ef:.ficiency Contest, :fo:r which r~r. tf Ohn '11 • Morgan o£fered a. loving cup •. has pro:ven a great aid in determining the ~mount of real scou.ting each troop· is doing. and while the ];fficiency Contest is far from perfect and has its bad points., I would say that tald.ng it, all in all it has been a . very beneficial idea, but it will need some r2'iical chnu,g:es to pro'\l'e successful during the coming yev.r. The boys always like something new. ~.nd, therefo\. e. it will necessarily tf>L":e s(L;e study to determine its su.ccessor. There is now outstanding a cournittee of ScoutnHsters 'Who are studyi:nr~ this problem, <:itd 'ltpon t.he report of this committee, the Scout Le<)derst Ho.mid T~:J;le will take sct:i.on.

The JGxe~utive feels that so: ce :'.te'."ltion should be made of the splendid . <Jnd unselfish work of Mr. John '1.r.. r,iorr;m1, President of the Ghick.usaw Council. He h:s been lllltiring in his efforts to serve the Coundl, o.nd has always been willing to --lend a helping hand to everyone. His advice has alw~··s been sound, nnd his energy unlimited. I also want ·to thank Cornnissioner .Tchn E. Roberts and Deputy Con:rmissioner. s .Allen Hu hes, 'l'l:1or::ias Hu.,'ii.es &nd \'iilla.rd Hays :for their splendid cooperat: ton. They have given unselfishly of their time and. have beco;',,e r1;reat assets ·of the Chickasaw Council, and it is only because of such ::en as t."ese that -2- the Executive has single-handed been able to handle the problems of the council. On the other hand, the work of the Execu.tive :soard of the Council has been very beneficial. These men have alw~s been willing and ready to serve when called on. and as long as such men as these are members of the EXeau.t.ive :Board, scouting is going to be a $UCcess in the city of Memph~s. However, instead of merely the :EXecu.tive Board being interested in scout• ing and being willing to give their time to it, some way should be devised to interest not only the EXeco.tive Board out the entire Chickasaw Cow1cil. Kamp Kia Kima needs sorneOAe in authority at the head 'of camp. someone who can preserve discipline at all times and properly direct the camp both from a recreational and tiriancial standpoint, someone who will be present at all times, and I feel t.hat after having operated Ka.rap Kia Kioa from Memphis for two years, that the Exec'lltive is the proper person to clirect the activities of Kia Kirna. This has been tried in most of the Cou.11cils over the country r:!lld has proven very successful. scouting in M~mphis 1:'1111" not. suf:fier from the 1;:.xecu~ive being at .K8'11p Kia Kima, i'or during the summer months there is li·ttle at l'Jemphis to demand his special attention, and the routine of the of::ice cou.ld be successfully handled by the office eta.ff. I therefore heartily recorm1end that the .i;;xecu.tive be made the Qa."llp Director with full power to operate Kamp Kia Kima. The council is now conducting a Scout Leaders•. Training School. It is highly important that tl;te men who are to be Scoutmasters: or Scout r.eaders should be trained in scouting• and while this Training School is somewhat of ~m expense to the council.,. it is very desirable and I heartil~r recommend 'that it be made a part of eueh yeart s program. and that the men who a.re ~>coutmastera and have never taken this training be required to take the course. and that those desiring to. be scoutmasters be asked to · telte this training before assuming charge of a troop. 'l1hree stores. in the city o;f Memphis; namely, the Netv :Brys, Phil .A.,,. Halle, and J. Goldsmith and sons. are hendling scout supplies, ur1iforms, imd equipment. an.ct. their cooperation with scout Headquarters has been very good. l!he New :srys, during the year 1927, put· on one of the best :;scouting exhibit ions that I .have seen in a long time, and I bdieve was of such nature as to be ·very beneficial to scouting. They further presented the Chickasaw c01..meil with 5,000 scout blotters. which were very acceptable. and have been of great use to us in advertising the scout movement in this city. The three stores f'u.rt;h.er cooperated with Headquarters during the .AJJ.niversary week by the use of display windows. and by putting ::aoy scout stickers in the .outgoing mail. The New Br,;ys used 12.500; Phil A. Halle, i.ooo; and J. Goldsmith and sons, 2,000. 1l'his has been very beneficial to the Council, and has been appreciated very till.ch.

Willard Hays, Mr. Joe Flanagan, Mr. :Ben Coffey and ?.ir. W.F. Heiskell for their splendid work in conducting the scwut Leaders Training School which closed on NoveL1ber 24th a.nd which was the direct cause of securing four new scoutraasters as well as training nine other men for scoutmastership•, Chickasaw Council started scouting among negro boys in the early part of 1928 and this movement has been a.~ unqualified success. The negroes have not only taken keen interest in the work but they have conducted themselves so well that there has been no friction whatsoever between the negro troops and the white troops. ~here has been no objection by white ScoutmBsters or Scouts as to the formation of these two negro troops and in 1929 I suggest that four or more negro troops be organized. In planning the work of the council for 1929 I recommend: l. That two or more Training schools for white leaders be conducted. 2. That at least one Training School for negro leaders bo conducted. 3. That all members of the council report to council Headquarters the names of o.en whom they con-sider to be fit cv.ndid«tcs for scoutrnastership. 4. That a lake be built v.t cor.-:p currier. 5. That a reliable means of transportation to camp currier be arranged so that troops will have easy access to the car:'.!P at all times. 6. That at least eight boys representing the council attend the Third International Jwnboree which will be held in Arrowe Park, Eirhenhead, England from July 3Q to August 14th, 1929 at which at least 1,000 1v:cricon scouts are expected to attend. 7. That throUf'Jl educati ono.l publicity and other c.eans Dn• organized effort be made to educate the public at large and especially heads of churches and other institutions, as to the values of scouting, and by so doing to assist in the formation of additional troops. 8. That Sea Scouting be given a proIJ.inent place ~n council activities and a sailboat secured for the use of the Sea scouts. scouting is a vital force in community welfare and is tremendously helpful as a supplenent to the work of the Churches. In conclusion I want to thank each and every one of you gentlemen who have so materially helped in working out the scout prograu and I earnestly request your continued help and support in making scouting available to the boys of the Council area.

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.

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. This will be the first seaso11 for Kia Kima to e11joy this privilege. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central S tation at 7 :45 A. M. a11d ar1ives at Hardy at 10:50 A. M.

Many parents do not appreciate t:P.e fact that their boy is far safer in carilp than he is on tho streets of Memphis. Not only is the boy safe but he derives the benefit of on outdoor program directed by Veteran Scout men l'.nd I believe a summer spent in camp will do more for a boy, both physically ond mentally, than any other vacation.

OUR AIMS The World interest in the BOY scou.t movement chall~nges the intelligent understanding of everyone, and yet many people still ask " what is scouting?" lly;rhat do ·Boy scouts do?" scouting moans outdoor life and so. health, strength, happiness and practical education. rt develops the power of initiative and resourcefulness. It helps boys. rt insures good citizenship. The Boy Scout Movement healthfully and sanely off sets the disadvantages which civilization has caused. · It seeks to help boys on leaving school to escape the evils of "blind alley" occupations---that is, su.ch work as g ives the boy a mere wage f6r the r.iomen t, but leaves hin st randed without any trade or handicraft to pursue when he is a nan and so send him as n recruit to the great arra,y of the uneL1ployed and, what is worse, the tlllel'1>loyable. scouting includes instruction in First Aid, Life saving, Trucking, Signalling, cycling, Nature study, Sea~18.nship, Calr!Pcraft , woodcraft, Chivalry, and a11 of the hnnd icrnfts. N6 expen sive equipnent is required. All that is needed is the out-of-doors, a group bf boys and a con~ otent leader. BY corabining wholesaue attractive out-of-door activities with the influence of the scout oath. and r,aw the Movenent develops character. In scouting the boy does not stand still. The opportunity and incentive for progress are always nt. hand. He becones a Tenderfoot und then a second Class scout, and then a First Class scout. After this the who le sphere of the scout progran is r.1ade available by the boy • s own application in qualifying hinself to pass the tests for the various nerit badges. As a scout the boy willingly adopts as re al and vital the universally accepted principles of life as set forth in the scout oath and Law. Character developr.1ent is the real objective of the Boy scout Movencnt~ Every step in the scouting progr w~ is but a r.1enns to this end. The variety and interest of, as well as the practical knowledge insured by the Tendcrf oot, soco~1d olass, and First Class tests are, after all , but a neans for holdi!'l.g the interest of the boy , pledged to the scout. oath and Law, under such leadership as will bring about character developr. 1en t. Likewise the whole scb.e1:io of Merit Badges is prir.10. rily for th~.s sar-1e purpose. The forn of troop organization, the scout.r.iaster and his As·sistnnts, t he local counc il, such as Chickasaw council, and indeed the National counci l and all of its officers , are also but a neans to this end , Th is character developmen t nan if es ts itself in health , eff iciency, chivalry, l oyalty , patriotisn and good citizenship. * * * * * THE SCOUT OA'IH on ny honor ' I wi 11 do Dy best t TO do r.iy duty to God and ny country, TO obey the scout Law, TO heip other people at all tit:1es, To keep r.iyself physically strong , n~ntally awake, and r.1orally straight. t s s c t Vi le p.de aa ti on e tests 'f a arsals set real nt . :i is iety ractiorfoot, ts are, g the he rderde e i:10 rgans ·- as Nacers, { pil good .'IHE IDRLD SCOUT JAMBOR];E "'***** if'~ The:r~ has never Y1\ before i,n history f1/.1r~·- , 11 '\ been anything like If the world scout ~\ Jamboree idea. rt ~' ~/ is the Big Game ((a "'\ 'j\ made up of all. the lfi'' " ~ games that boys ~ ( 1 ~ I\'\ \\have ever played :ril .,,"'"· /if':>~~ ~I since first there 1 .,.,. !ft~\ / was hide and seek if ~(( i·l~JJ._g )~ !' in the woo~s and '' ~ ,~ •. ~ 1 hero worship for \ ~ II ~ 1 those who lead and ~--- I•._ 1\ ~ listening ears for -.:;:"'-:-..:ii. ·'"::.~ -314~ those who tell a ~~-:3r ~ thrilling tale.

What Is A Jamboree? -Picture to yourself a great encampment of boys from all. parts of .·the globe. Flags from forty nations waving in the breeze; thousands of scouts in g~ national unifonns mingling together in happy comrad.eship---scouts from Greece in picturesque costume, slant-eyed Japanese boys who learned scouting under the cherry trees, Eclaireurs from France and dark skinned Scouts from far away India fraternizing with sturdy scotch lads in plaid kilts; a babel of languages, a hodge-podge of national customs and costumes and habits , but the same scout spirit the whole camp through. The Third International Jamboree will take place in Arrowe Park, Birkenhead, England, from July 30 to August 14, 1929. It will. be one of the biggest events in Scout history , something in which every Scout in this country will want to take part· A.ND ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOY scour11s OF AMERICA HAVE A CHANCE TO GO. There are no restrictions as to rank or age. .~he only qualifications are a he•lthy body and the observance 0f the scout Oath and Law, the Motto " Be prepared" and the Daily Good TUrn. It is hoped that as many as a thousa.nd scouts and leaders will represent the united states. Why A Jamboree The Jamboree is held in honor of the 11 coming of age of scouting.11 world scouting wil1 be twenty-one years old in 1929: American scouts will celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of the beginning of the movement in the united states. The purpose of the Jamboree, as stated by Sir Robert Baden-P0well, the Chief scout Of the world, is to: ( a) Bring together the worldts boys; thus, through personal friendship and the feeling of real brotherhood to promote a world wide understanding. (b) Ed~cate the p~blic with ~~gard ~o the true objects of the Movement. (c) .Educate the bOJ.s taking part by means of visits to potteries, textile factories, etc. The plan Every council is given an opportunity to organize a troop or 'Patrol under local leaders, financed l~cally, with the greatest possible freedom in planning its itinerary. The trip need not . be exp ens iv e. prices through travel bureaus range from as little as $155 to $600 according to the accomodations selected. Troops will. not travel together and each group may plan the kind Of trip it prefers. Standards for leadersh ip, etc. will be ma.de f or organized control when the scouts arriv,e at the International Camp. This Jamboree will be the event of a life time, an unparalleled opportunity to take part in an event of world wide value, and bring back to the scouts of America the advantages of internati- 0nal experience . l '\ . , 1.

Tho camp has received another welcome donation of books, miscellaneous lot that 'dl.l help the scouts uhile away hours of indoor leisure uhen rainy weather happens to overt~kc them. Tho donor was Mr. J .• M. Walker. El The bright, wnrm weather lnst s~turdny mid sunday brought rr£llly visitors to camp, including about twenty ~ho c~oo for tho first time. On Sunday the cars were coming nnd going from morning till evening, some being from considort:tblo distrmco, Troop 29 made onother \70ok.. end trip to car.1p and marked progress on their new cabin. This week, because of the school holiday on Good Friday, they intend to do o. lot of ;-,ork on tho building.

If those have bet.:n forgotten, it ·;d.11 be well to get infornation at the :soy scout office Dt tho time tho pcrr.1it is obtained. Boys untrt:iined in the scout use of axes should be required to leave such too ls at home. Anybody ~;;ishing to gnther ~1ild flowers · should plan hikes off the camp, and thos0 71ho may be interested in killing or making collections of vild life should do likewise. At this season the first visit to camp may be sufficiently interesting if the day is spent in the mere enjoyment of awakening nature, blooming nild flowers, bursting lenfbuds and singing birds; but each trip should bo planned beforehand ·;;i th dofini te projects to fill the time completely. The hickory loving cup is still waiting a chance to be presented to Troop 34, i7innors of last foll•s contust, but ···ith the retUrh of mild 'ileather this pleasant occasion ··,'ill not be much longer postponed.. The cup, moreover, has been skillfully hollowed out by c. H. Hutchison of the Lee Lumber company, who, scout like, did the work uithout pay as n good turn.

The troops present were Nos. 7, 21; 29, nnd 33. They came for real outdoor life. Troop 7 slept in improvised hnmmocks and pluckily stuck to this plan in spite of the fact thnt cabin shelter was offered them. The showor13 of Saturday night tested their ability to take care of themselves in the open, but they came through in fine shape. scoutmaster Ollie TUcker was in charge. **** scoutmaster ]riney and a bunch of troop 33 boys made their first visit to camp this spring. They pitched six tents, arii each boy did his own cooking. The showers of Saturday night drove some of them to shelter, but Senior Patrol Leader James Dallas and several others stuck to their tents cind kept themselves dry despite tho fact that the wind blew down one of their tents in the middle of the night. sund~y morning this yowig senior patrol lec:ider triumphantly remarked: "That was the first time I ever had a chance to camp out in the rain, and I didn•t want to gq indoors. We got along very well." The ditching of the tents was a new experience for these scouts, ·and some of them did not succeed in running their lovels very true; but the job was good enoug..~ to keep the water out of the tents, and next time they will know how to do better. About the first thing one member of this troop did Friday evening nas to fall in the weter nnd got his foot wet.

The brick is to be delivered this week. Also local snnd and gravel can be obtained now. It is a good time to secure such 1:1.atcrial without the vcxncious delays that sometimes occur. * *** R. ]3.

Turner of this troop our hearty thanks are due for the contribution of a new kind of cwnp stool called "The Tourist", Vihich is a recently patented stool of his ow.e make.· ·'.E'his adds one more good scat to tho rather limited supPly in the headquarters cabin. The stool is not only strong i::ind good looking but also, unlike some folding stools, it collapses into the smallest possible space and cannot easily get out of order, two import[.lnt features that will appeal to all campers. ******** The last weok-ond. was a red letter occasion for Troop 29, Saturday night being the first time they have slept in their new cabin. The. latest .feature to be added is a splendid fireplace which some of the men friends of the troop worked hard to complete at this time.

No. 18. The big rally last Saturday naturally kept all :Soy Scouts in Memphis, so there is little news from here this week; yet two energetic troops, No. 29 and No. 34, hurried down to camp immediately after the rally to spend a night and a day. Troop 29 still finds plenty to do in their new cabin, working till 11 otclock Saturday night, but the time is near when they can begin to enjoy the woods in ways tho.t will toke them out of their troop headquarte.rs and introduce them more familiarly to wild nature itself. No. 34 always ha$ been distinguished as a troop of hunters and led by an enthusiastic youth very appropriately named Hunte~. Even before breakfast Saturday morning they were scouting, scantily clad, through the woods D.Ud finding things of more real interest than some groups would discover in a whole day, nmong other of their quarries being a tortoise that gave evidence of being older than the boys' fathers yet still going strong nnd probnbly good for another half century of active l'ife. It is a custom at Ca.rap Currier for thu finder of one of these reptiles to carve his nar.Je and tho date on one of the plates of its shell to see if it will stay at cw:ip and also to see how much marked it will becot~ as tho years pass, In this instance, though, tho youngster did not do the ca.rving, because ho proved to be a better finder than a keeper, as the clever animal took advantage of a chance to rJUke gocd its escape when its captor was not looking. Troop 34 also began the foundation of their cabin fireplace uhich is to be built in the southwest corner directly before one's fnce as he enters the door. ** * * * There is a great difference in scoutr.1asters, and nowhere :core noticeable than at Camp Currier where the system is to have each troop under the ir.u:1ediate control. of an adult leader. Probably it is because boys are so easily cade ha:ppy in the woods that some scoutnasters seo:o to think all that is necessary is to tak~ thc1:1 to car:p and turn ther.1 loose, yet our handbooks r:1ost earnestly try to if.!pross upon scout lenders tho inporta.~ce of having a well-thought-out prograo. of projects before ever starting on u hike or carlping expedition. The stress so earnestly laid upon this matter is for the double purpose of helping tho scoutrJaster r::iake a good ii:1pression upon tho boys and helping tho boys to have a glorious outing. Though fundar.i.ontally inportant to provide suitable fooi, bedding and shelter, the real success of the outing depends so greatly upon the projects planned and successfully carried through, that scout1:iasters are urged not to slight this :~;attar. ' It is not necessary for the leader to be a woodsr.1an, but he is in the best possible position to know what the r:ier.1bers of his troop want to do, and usually that is precisely what they ought to be allowed to do. The good psychology of saying "Yes" rather than 1'No" to boys should ever be kept in r.1ind. soretir:ies the scouts want to do sor:"ething their leader lmo\1s very little about, but this does not prevent its being adopted as a project, f .or bhe canp director is eqployed for the very purpose of helping out in such cases or . oven assuuing the entire leadership if requested. '!here is nothing in nature that cannot be enjoyed here, and this i::Jakes it wholly unnecessary and inadvisable to resort to city ga~:1es or projects. When boys aro in the woods they enjoy ther.iselvos ·oost if allowed to cast aside for the day or week-end everything that pertains to city life. Give ther..1 a chance, Mr. scoutLaster, and prove the truth of this. 1· •. ' �···~ ·- . 22, 1529. No. 19.

Scoutmasters, troops, patrols and parents a.re urged to make this a real ]oy Scout holiday, the first and best of the season, when books ar.d the indoors are laid aside ond nature can be enjoyed in the most plee.sant part of the early summer.

Dear Mr.- Scout Leaier: Every nook you arc reco1v1ng, as herewith toduy, a letter of news ond information about ca.mp Currier which probn.bly is of as much interest to the members of your troop as to you, but tho fact often comes to light that some of tho Boy Scouts do not have an opportunity to rend these weekly news shoots. Only yesterday an enorbetic Boy scout of Memphis drove down to tho camp with his par0nts for tho solo purpose of inquiring whether this camp will be open all sumnor' o.nd tho car.rp director present every day to help look after the boys and especially to load then on hikes and help then in their nnturo study, When assured thnt such was the case, they said thtit tho troop to ";7hich this boy belongs wishes to corJe do;m often this sui:1uor nnd eventually to build a cabin here. If thct troop hnd boon given a chance to road the CD.L'P Currier Nows, yesterday's trip of inquiry would not have boon necossory; so will you not post tho Nous regularly in ycu.r troop's plnco of ncoting or, if tho troop does not r:ieet during tho sur.n:1er, uiJ.1 you not put tho No~1s into tho honds of sorJe boy leader uho vlill sho-rr it to tho other r.:cnbors? In this com1cction, also, please allo17 us to ronind you of a few it'lportant things, narJely: First' troops or snallor groups COL1ing to Co.L~ currier are expected to secure a perni t a.t tho office (306 En:.1kors Bldg.) before stnrting, preferably the day before.

In tho third place tho caLj? director is always here nnd ready to assist in planning both work and play, to acconpany whole troops or patrols or single individuals on expeditions into tho woods that afford all sorts of beautiful and interesting bits of nature~ Also ho will pass then in tests for Merit Badges on any kind of subjects related to car-:p life Elnd nature.

Troop 29 remained here after the Jamboree until the following Wednesday, end on Thursday troop 33 returned to live in their tents until Saturday night. On ~aturday, also, one of tho new troops, No. 15, came fo~ the week-end, while mombors of Nos,. 34 and 56 wero here on· separate days. *** Troop 33 was hero mainly for tho serious work of hotping to build their cabin~ the first one to be erected on the north side of the lake sHo. several men who are Civi tDns, tho spol'lsoring organization for this troop, were hero to work with the boys on Thursday, Friday, Snturday, ond Monday, and ~lready the new cabin is practically finished. '!he walls of the bu.ilding are made of Tomahawk siding, which produces tho outward appearance of a log cabin. *** Troop No. 15 came in the :Soy ~out bus, Clll'll.J?ed out along the trail that leads to Noo 34•s cabin, slept only about the customary five hours of first-nighters, and ate a 5 o 1 clock sunday breakfast. !!:!his is a new troop whoso scoutmaster is H. T. :Butler, formerly of Dyersburg, Tenn. He hns been a Bo:t scout himself and also has had experience in leadership.

The troop ~s sponsored by the :Bellevue :Baptist Church of Memphis. $Unday forenoon they inspected the Various cabins On tho cmnp, stopped long enough in No. 34ts cabin to have a twenty minute religious service, and selected a beautiful cabin site of their own where in future visHs they intend altvays to pitch their tents. They caught a ground puppy and a tree lizard, jumped a black snake which ran too fast :for anybody to overtake, and dug a box ~rtoise out of the nud. They also r:iade the acquaintance of eight trees---cucuraber, hGp hornbeun, sycar~ore, beech, sugar oa.ple, hickory, white oak, and winged eln---bef ore returning to their canping place to prepare a noonday neo.l. A big crop of blackberries is just beginning to ripen on the coqp. The boys of troop NoQ 15 were tho first to pick sor.1e, which they had for dessert $Unday noon. Occasional rains will r.nke bushels of theso finq berries for thoso who cooo to ca.op during the next few ·weeks. *** Troop 34 p~ans to spend part of this week at CaJl'.!P improving their cabin and enjoying life in the opene The last time they were here they found a clutch of eggs supposed to be those of a reptile of some kind. '!1hey were not in a n_est but simply grouped together o·n the ground, evidently to hatch by the heat of the sun. ']hey are being kept in the hope that they will be hatched so that it can be seen what manner of creature it is. �No. 23. June ?4, 1929. There were scouts at Camp currier every day the past week and two troops at once most of the time. One troop, No. 34, came ~own twice, their overnight hike being in the.nature of a sumner farewell to their scoutmaster, F~ w. Morrison, who left the latter part of the week for his old eastern home in Mass., where he will spend the summer as usual. The troop did not do any work this time, having come just to enjoy themselves in the woods and have good things to oat. * ** One scoutmaster already this surrmer has returned to Memphis s~ck from eating qanned meat that was tainted or of which he ate too much. Canned moat at best is a quostionablo food for camping out. Frosh meat is much better if it can be kept on ice, but not many campers are prepared for such good housekeeping in the woods. However, bacon is hard to boat anywhere, and it has the advontage of being easy to keep. But meat is not a necessary food if one will substitute boons for it. There is druiger, also, in eating too many beans at one tima. one person should not consume a whole can of them at once. Better divide with somebody else. *** Scoutmaster Pritchard of troop No. 5 was at camp twice during the past week, and members of his troop were here six days. The boys spent most of the week having a good tioe, the best of which was suimning, sometimes as much as throe times a day. But sone good work was put on their new cabin which now has a roof and is far enough along to be occupied. * ** Increased oiling of tho water this year is having a narked effect on the mosquitoes. It is wise, however, to bring sooe kind of dope to keep tho strny insects off. *** Four days were enjoyed at camp the past week by sooe menbers of troop No. 40 under the leadership of Patrol Leader Hugh :Burkett. ~is young scout is a born c~er and can keep his patrol cor.£ortable in any kind of weather, occupied and happy under all conditions. They report the catch of eight half-pound fish in the waters near car.:rp. However, they picked so l:'lany blackberries that part of then soured before they were all eaten. *** Cnr>pers coning for the first tine ond staying only over night are often heard to renark, "I wish I had planned to stay longer". *** Troop No. 29 spent the week-end, as usual, at caI::!J?. Near thmir now cabin they have built rustic scats for holding council fires. Sunday oorning they went on a hike to the rock spring and found several interesting bits of nature on the way. In the afternoon of that day they enjoyed visits fron several auto loads of Meqihis friends. scoutciaster Patton ond J. T· Stephenson, chairnan of the troop con~1ittee, were with the boys during thoir two dayst stay at car.1p. ** * Every Saturday afternoon, when two or noro troops are at caup and wish to indulge in a treasure hunt or other sinilar a.r.msenont, it will be arranged for then. Notice of such a desire should be given to tho canp director at least as early as the day previous, if arrwgenents have to be nade beforehand. This can 1::e done through the Meqphis :Boy scout office. �Comp currier rJeds If . July 1, 1929. TWO troops at can;p again. Members of troop 34 were here Wednesday and 'lhursday. Wednesday night they slept in their unscreened cabin and reported next morning that mosquitoes did not disturb them. It requires two days a week to oil the water at carrip and in the environs, but the good results make it worth while. Neighbors of the camp, also, have become interested in oiling and report noticeable freedom from tho :post. Troop No. 29 was represented at camp on Friday, and the boys rushed directly to the swimming hole. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, who were here Sunday, brought down a carload of neighbor boys who are not Boy scouts, that they might see the new cabin, the c~ in general ond to enjoy a swim. Mr. Stephenson, chairr.lD.n of the troop cor.mttee and who is greatly interested in the cabin, said, 11 I just had to come down". No. 29 is the first to have a troop treasure hunt at Car.lp currier. It will be held on the 4th of July as a part of the dedicatmvy progra.o for their new cabin. Tb.one will be coqietition between the three patrols of the troop in this treasure hunt, and it pror.rl.ses to be a lively contest. Hunter cox, a student at Ole Miss and an ex-Lone Scout, was at tho caop sunday afternoon. He and his brother both were Lone scouts in this conounity before Caop currier was established. Tho other brother is ·now a student at Harvard, l!l1d they both retain a keen interest in scouting. Their father. w. w. cox of tho Eudora neighborhood, is a rJer.1ber of Chickasaw council and of the CaJJp currier Cor_-rd t too. · The swir:ir~ing hole at en~ is attracting considerable attention lllld providing both fun ond cor.;.fort ns a hot weather feature. Tho water is over tho heads of li ttlo scouts and docp enough for large boys to swir_i. rt has no appreciable current, ®d yet there is a steady stroorJ of cool water constantly running into and out of it. It can be used as r_'Jany tir.'lCs a day as the boys wish. canpers should not neglect to bring fresh fruit, for those who do are usually howling for sor.1e before they have been at caq> nore than two days. 1here are plenty of wild blackberries to be found just now, but nothing is nore wholesone and appetizing in su.r.iner than all kirils of fresh fruit, the kind you like best, and it is not hard to keep it inc~. Moreover, it is a serious oistake to rely too nu.ch on canned goods, nnd it-is the sign of an inexperienced Cal:!>or. �July 10, 1929. No. 44. This year Camp currier had the biggest Four th of July week in its history. There were seven troops represented at camp during the week, an average of ore a day, and as many as four troops at the same time. *** Troop 29 had set July 4 as the date to dedicate their new cabin, but although they were here two days the boys were having such a glorious time celebrating the Fourth with firecrackers and otherwise, swimning, hiking, and treasure hunting, that Scoutmaster Patton found no time for the dedicatcr y ceremony, so they had none except the prayer of the pastor as the crowd of scouts and grownups sat down to their Thursday eveni~ picnic feast. Since th.e completion of their cabin scoutmaster Patto:p. has been figuring the problem eats down to a fine point, so that he now is able to provide excellent meals at 15 cents apiece, and all that a hungry boy wants to eat, too. There were no police regulations to act as a k~ll-joy in tbe / use of Fourth of July fireworks, so the boys made the woods ring with their cannonading, and yet everything was done with so much care that nobody was hurt. TWenty scouts were present and they had thirty-eight visitors, making a merry group of fifty-eight who enjoyed the big day together. The three-mile treasure hunt was won by the ]lack ]ear patrol including Eugene Early, ]onner Ragland, Edward Eldridge, Paul Link, Eugene Grissom, and Farris Novel. They made the round in fifty minutes. perhaps.some other troop has a patrol that would like to challenge these Black ]ears for a treasure hunt. *** of his troop, No. 27. scoutmaster Wm.

Fishing is the latest developnent at Camp Currier. It began last week-end and has been found to be real sport. T. J. Byrnes of troop 15 has t re distinction of catching the longest fish thus far, eight inches. He had never caught one b.efore. Another fisherman caught fOUl' feet of fish out 0f the swimming hole last Saturday in ono hour. The kinds arc catfish and different varieties of perch, and they bite as if nobody had ever fed them before. Tw~ fisherman caught enough at the swimning hole to ma...'lt.e a meal for six. Grub worms seem to be the best bait, but gr'lsshoppers do very well and are more :plentiful. For three years tho :soy scouts have been dreaming about swimming and fishing at this caI!lp, and how, presto! these sports already are reality and so attractive as to hold the center of the stage. *** Five tr.oops uere at Ca.nr.9 the past \7eek, covering all seven days, and at least two troops were present every do.y. ~; ** Troop 5 already is enjoying its new cabin, and the merit badge.:.; test· on bird study r;as passed 'i;he last ucek-end by three of its members; Thurman Crawford, Osborn Bradley, and John Slater. *** scoutmaster H. T. :Butler and ten members of his troop, No. 15, came into c~ on the :Boy scout bus lnst Saturday a.nd returned to Mcr:iphis Sunday afternoon. Their project for this visit was cleaning of·f their nenly chosen cabin site, and they did a very good job of it. They also sue,m, fished, and :pnssod tests. * "* * �As this good ne\1S proba.bly will" e;1ttract. increased numbers this week-end, please reaA the followmng before you start: the fish already caugl~t have been as large as one•s he~d and on down to half that size, but that is large enough to cook and the quality is fine. '!he fishing stream is small, so only a short fishing rod is needed not longer than six or eight feet. You will be expected to fish only >Tith ordinary hook ruid lino. Fisherman, also, 111ill be ex:pected to catch only ns mu.ch as they Tiill cook and oat while at camp. Furtherrr.ore, in view of the larger numbers that will be coming to CalI!l? now, it is more important thm ever that each group of Boy scouts coming do'l7Il shall be nccorr::poniod by their scoutmasters or other adult ruid real scout leaders. Fishing hours will be limited as follows: From daylight until 9: 00 A. r,1. and from 5 p. M. till dark. swimming hours, also, will be limited for the present to one hour at a time between 9 A. M. ond 12 otclock noon and between 4 p. },,Z. to 7. Of course, the fishing wi 11 be limi tod to scouts. Harry c. Myers, Ca.mp Director. �Aug. 7, 1929. Troop No. 10 pulled into camp Sunday morning for their 4th annual eight-day encampment. It required the Boy Scout bus and half a dozen cars °Vl transport them. It would be ha~a. to beat this troop for genuine camping, and t.Ley wUl help make it interesting for other troops that may be here this week. On +Jha absence of their scoutmaster, Dr. Howard Cu:cl, who is snending the summer in the nc)J.'th, the troop is fortun&te and hr-:ppy to have with them their former scoutmaster, c. D. Kennedy, and his r:ife whose home is in st. Lou.is. *** scoutmaster Roger Stanley, with part of his troop, No. 19, :::pent two days at camp this week. Thoy caught som0 fish, but lack of proper bait r;revented their having much luck. Rowover, they !ID.do up for this with two good bli'rir.:irning periods every day. The scoutmaster is himself a woodsman and kept the boys l•1;,.sy both days with an interesting program. Tho night they nerc ti;ere 111as ideal for star-gazing, and an hour or more was spout on tho headquarters ova1 studying the heavens, particular attention being given to throe constellations which seemed to be quite well learned. One morning they 1110nt on a tracking hike that proved very interesting and revealed some ~ights of nature IThich none of them had seen before. *** Troop NO. 41 of Hernando, Miss., came for their first visit to Cam,p currier last week. They made straight for the swimming hole which natural~Y is growing in popularity. "VJe went on an overnight hike to the Coldwater river ·l. few weeks ago 11 , said Scoutma.ster McKee, 11 but, strange to say, \1e found no good :olace to swim. This little place, though, is ideal and you can see how the boys enJoy it. That little strear.1 of pure spring rTater keeps it sanitary." The first day this troop was in carr:p they were visited by two of the troop committeemen, G. c. Mingee and J. K· Tipton, who hiked over the camp almost like youngsters ond helped select a cabin site. ~t night the boys studied the stars a little while, but a whole day in the woods made them too sleepy to stay mmk.e long. The next ~orning•s r:iail brought theti a surprise in the shape of a letter in a long business anvblope. It came from their troop co11.1f.1i t tee visitors of the day before, stating that they he.d made a canvass of the business men of Hernando 11ho had contr:4buted so liberally that the r.loney for their proposed cabin nas already raised. scoutf.'.aster McKee had to return home the.t day, as had been :::lanned for the troop; but the boys wanted to stay longer, so they were allowed to ·erra in over another night. on leaving, Mr. McKee said: "We shall begin building our ::abin without delay, and intend to finish it before school opens." *** The last week-end has seen soma good work done on the doors end windows of Troop 5 • s cabin so that now they have the build.ing inclosed. ** * Troop cor.JL1itteer.1an Krivcher of No. 25 11as at canp sun.day and announced that this troop already has sufficient Eoney to build their new cabin. v1ork on which will be cor.oenced this week.

As several other cabins will want such r:m.tcrial this sura~er, Mr. Dean will ship in a carload of brick this week-and will deliver sar:B at the cabin sites of troops that put in orders in tine to rJake delivery before the end of the ueek.

" ---.------------ - - - -- Aug. 20, 1929. Jo. 48. ]ecause the usual :Boy scout news was not issued last week, report must cover a fortnight. Week before last one of the big events of the summer was troop No. lO•s annual eight-day encampment, which has become a regular feature at camp currier. "It was the best encampment WO have had yot, 11 said George w. :Bell, JllO of the assistant scoutmasters upon whom with Ed Shelton rested the responsibility because of the absence of the scoutmaster, Dr. Howard curl. At tho edge of tho woods on tho east side of the meadow in front of troop No. 5's neV! ca.bin worG set U:9 tho nj.nc pup tents, two wall tents for hospital and officers quarters and a larg~~ k~. ':;ehen tent. A new addition to the kitchen equipment was an ice-box excoll8ntly hJme-ma.de by tho troop before coming down. Their canw p~esented an interesting sight, whether it was at sunrise with the boys rolling out in response to tho bugle, at noon when the chow line of ravenous Scouts was. marching past the bench of stearnrhng victuals, in the afternoon when everything Vl'as in g_u:i.et ord.or under tho disinfecting rays of an August sun while the boys rested in tho shade, after supper when all sat in a circle around the nightly council fire, or at taps 11hen ca.ch tent uas alight uith a candle in a homemade tin-can candlestick, a piece of handicraft taught by c. ]. Kennedy, the ex-scoutmaster uho spent four days of tho week as a visitor at the camp of his old troop. George ]ell and Ed Shelton, the two assistant scoutmasters in cha~ge, grew up in this troop~ A few years ago they were timid tenderfoots, but they have developed into leaders of whom Chickasaw council is proud a.nd to whom the 9arents of the younger boys ought to give an annual vote of thanks. In an informal and probably unconscious way tho friends of tho troop did that this sumr:ior, for on Sunday, August 4, ten visitors came <iorm from Menphis. On \icdnesday there \7ere eleven visitors; on ~hursday, ten; Friday, t~o; Saturday, nineteen; and sunday, thirteen. Ed Shelton, r;ho had charge of the kitchen, used the scouts in details of three to help him and to learn h0\7 to cook. Each detail was on duty for three meals handrunning, and then their kitchen duties were furnished for tho week. Each boy paid $5 for the expenses of the eight-day outing.,, This amount paid for not only transportation and all their food, including :r:iany complimentary meals for their guests, but also bought a nUDber of new kitchen utensils and the naterial for their new ice-box. George Bell had charge of the hospital tent an.ong other duties, but the casualties of the week were no more serious than a few Di.nor scratches and bruises. Every norning the boys were given setting-up exercises and then they trooped down to the spring stream for a dip _before breakfast, with the result that everybody was up and coning throughout the week, playing, hiking, suin:iing, and boxing. A series of playground ball gar.1es was played with the Eudora troop, No. 56, with two victories for No. 56 a..vid one for No. 10, but the Memphis troop pronises to reverse this next sumr:ier. Saturday night scoutr.:iaster J.W. cooper of troop No. 56 and his boys attended No. 10ts council fire when a lively prograr.i was put on, including the antics of "Miss Williacsll, v1ho net and was introduced to the Eudora scouts on their way to the council fire.

After drinking a quart of cool milk he rested an hour and then pedaled back home again. He brought the neus that troop No. 27 is planning a big treasure hunt at Camp currier on September 14.

Oct. 8, 1929 The first possum hunt of the season was out of the ordinary because ladies took part. It was the idea of qome of the old.er :nembers of Troop 10 - Ed Shel ton, Cecil McDonald, Raymond Owen, Thomas Gaines, Harold Gowdy, George Jones and Harry Rogers. Their guests were their former Scoutn1astcr, c. B. Kennedy, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs • .Andrew -lohnson, and Misses Ruth :Brennon, Tina Mariana and Elizabeth Marshall. They drove down to camp after an early supper, and it was neaxly 8 o 1 clock when the~r reached the woods. Indeed, Uncle :Sen Alexander, tht;i veteran hunter who w~s to lead in the chase of fat marsupials, had given up their coming and hBd taken off his shoes to go to bed when the merry party knocked at his cabin door. Somebody hnd recently told Uncle Ben a terrible snake story so that he was almost afraid to venture forth after dark, but having promised to go, he consented to accompany the young white folks with the distinct understanding that somebody else should t2ke the lead and he only follow with his dogs. It was an almoFt silent group that moved along through the forest for about twenty minutes without the least sound from any of tho dogs. '11h.en Watch barked and Uncle Ben said: 11 He has i t treed already. 11 Then the pent-up excitement broke out and the hunters all joined in a mad race for the tree. The animal was found to bo in a hollow tree, and several woodchoppers took turns with an axe before the tree fe~l. With a flashlight the possum could be seen about four feet up in the hollow, so th.e tree trunk was chopped in two again before the quarry could be rel.'lched, and then it was that Raymond Owen pulled it out by the tail and chucked it into a tow-sack. some of the young ladies had never seen a possum nnd for most of them it was a novel experience to go hunting in the woods after dark. Two more possums were soon brought to bay, but as both of them took refuge in sink-holes and it would have required several hours to dig them out, it was promptly voted that 11 we have had enough sport for one nigh t 11 and the party hastened back to the camp-fire where all were soon busy roasting wieners and otherwise making ready for a midnight supper before starting back home. * ** * * * **** Troop 56 was at camp two days at the week-end. They hiked, tried some new ideas in cooking and wound up their stay with a treasure hunt followed by a roast-chicken supper. This spre8d was donated by the two patrol leaders, Irving Craven and Albert Sidney White. The treasure hunt was over the same trails as had been used by Troop 27 a few weeks ago, and the opposing patrols roached the goal all within the sElille minuto, Albqrt Sidney VVni te' s patrol ranking the round in 26 minutes, while that of Irving craven's patrol was 27 minutes. The winners also brought in a beautiful baby gray squirrel which they surpi:isod on the ground and captured before it could ciimb a tree. Moreover, the other patrol found a box tortoise. No wonder they couldntt win. * * ** ** * **** Troop 25 was at camp again, still working on their new cabin, which now has almost half of the roof on and the fireplace foundntion in. �Oct. 30, 1929. No. 56 Two possums were tr~ed at once Saturday night and, as is often the case under such circumstances, neitiler one of them was caught. Later a third marsupial was found. One scout shinned up the tree before exactly locating the quarry. His companions on the ground soon espied it directly behind him, and on turning around he faced its wide-open mouth and glistening teeth only inches in front of his nose. Then, either from quaking fear or deliberate intention, he promptly shook the animal off the limb and Harry Davis of Troop 8 caught it, thereby addin<s 500 po in ts to his fall con test score. In the struggle the possum bit the boy's wrist, but an immediate apnlication of iodine was all the first aid that was needed for that, and next mo~ning it was practically well. * * * * ** * Eleven troops were represented at camp the last week, a record break~. * * * *'* * * Troop 50 improved its first week-end apportunity to begin its new cabin, which scoutmaster J. Austin says will be pushed to early completion. w. ******* A large group of Troop 8 boys spent the week~end at camp. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. A. ]3. Rowe, one of whose sons is a member of this troop, broug;h.t a few friends out from the city and treated the combined group of :Boy scouts and grown-ups with a fried chicken picni<! dinner that proved to be a rea.l feast• Not only that, but Mr. Rowe proved his faith in the prqposed new troop cabin by bringing down in an accompanying truck a newly constructed outdoor can~ table and bench seats which vrnre initiated by use that day and they donated and placed in position as the first permanent improvement on the cabin site. * * * * * * * Troop 10 had young lady frhind; as guests at their second private possum hunt last Friday night at camp currier. The hunt was followed by a midnight campfire repDst before starting back to the city. **** *** A group from Troop 25 put in another good dayt s work on their cabin and now have a fine new fireplace and chimney completed. They soon will be ready to uove into their backwoods home. ******* A new record was established last Saturday by a comparatively new Memphis troop, No. 43, of vinich Rev. w. L· Norris, pastor of the New south Memphis :Baptist Church, is scoutmaster. Between 11.A..M. and 4 p.M. the scoutmaster and five of the larger members of the troop, without any employed help, felled the trees for forty-one logs for their cabin which Mr. Norris in his custo~iary businesslike way purposes to build without any unnecessary delay. It is to be a genuinely oldf~shioned log cabin, for this preacher is something of a woodsnnn himself. llC****** Scoutmaster H• T. :Butler, Assistc:mt Scoutmaster Robert Raymond and twenty E1e:mbers of tha.t growing Troop, No. 15, arrived at camp Saturday and followed through an intensive two-day program of work and fun at their big cabin site over OJ} the west side. one of their r:iost enjoyable diversions was a spirited treasure hunt in which the Black Bear pa.trol was victorious. �NO. 57 Nov. 6, 1929. Camp currier is indebted again, this time to Mr. Geo. R. Kendall of Memphis, who brought as a gift to be hung up in the Headquarters Cabin a fine eight-day clock. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. Kendall came out to the camp, as so many parents do, to bring- their son who is a member of Troop 1, and with him they brought this very welcome and useful surprise. It is pleasing indeed to have people do such nice things as this, and all such graceful acts are all the more appreciated because they are not solicited. "'******* Father John H. Shea, Scoutmaster of Troop 49, and a dozen of his scouts drove to camp in the rain last Friday for their first visit here. The day was rainy and the forecast said Hmore rain,11 but Father Shea said the boys had been look:ing forward to the trip for two weeks and 1:0uld have been greatly disappointed not to come, so he brought them. And they all proved to be good sports and good campers. They were lodged in a cabin where they could keep dry and warm, and it is well that they were so protected, for at 1 A. M. it poured down again. But saturda~r brought better weather, and they had a good time although the possum hunt they had planned for was out of the question. ******** Mr. T. E. Beard, one of the fathers of No. 19, was at camp the last week-end and built an outdoor oven for this troop which,will appreciate this added equipment. All such things, too, are pleasing evidences of the parents! interest in their sons' outdoor activities. ******** The erection of Troop 40t s fine new cabin is going on apace. Scoutmaster Austin and several of the Scouts are here every week-end, and much interest is being manifested in the building. Considerable material will be sent down this week, for they are hurrying to enclose it before winter. * * * * * * ** Troop 1 came again last Saturday, a few of the boys hiking down the highway. One good result of the rains of the day before was plenty of fresh mud for wild animal tracks, and the members of this troop took ad.vantage of that to make some plaster of Paris negatives. ******** Members of Troop 25 are now looking forward to the day when they can lock their equipment in a finished cabin. Some of them spend nearly every week-end at the work, and they are too busy at it even to go hunting. �------~--- --- - ...... --~~---·----.---- ·--- ------ CA.lV'Jl CURRIER NEWS ·' Page 2 Assistant Scout1-:1aster Gerald capers, his mbther and two other ladies, together with several members of Troop 19, were over-night caLipers in the troop's log cabin Saturday and Sunday.

The troops present were Nos. 7, 21; 29, nnd 33. They came for real outdoor life. Troop 7 slept in improvised hnmmocks and pluckily stuck to this plan in spite of the fact thnt cabin shelter was offered them.

' No. 18. Ccrllj p May 14, 1929. The big rally last Saturday naturally kept all :Soy Scouts in Memphis, so there is little news from here this week; yet two energetic troops, No. 29 and No. 34, hurried down to camp immediately after the rally to spend a night and a day. Troop 29 still finds plenty to do in their new cabin, working till 11 otclock Saturday night, but the time is near when they can begin to enjoy the woods in ways tho.t will toke them out of their troop headquarte.rs and introduce them more familiarly to wild nature itself. No. 34 always ha$ been distinguished as a troop of hunters and led by an enthusiastic youth very appropriately named Hunte~. Even before breakfast Saturday morning they were scouting, scantily clad, through the woods D.Ud finding things of more real interest than some groups would discover in a whole day, nmong other of their quarries being a tortoise that gave evidence of being older than the boys' fathers yet still going strong nnd probnbly good for another half century of active l'ife. It is a custom at Ca.rap Currier for thu finder of one of these reptiles to carve his nar.Je and tho date on one of the plates of its shell to see if it will stay at cw:ip and also to see how much marked it will becot~ as tho years pass, In this instance, though, tho youngster did not do the ca.rving, because ho proved to be a better finder than a keeper, as the clever animal took advantage of a chance to rJUke gocd its escape when its captor was not looking. Troop 34 also began the foundation of their cabin fireplace uhich is to be built in the southwest corner directly before one's fnce as he enters the door. * * * * * There is a great difference in scoutr.1asters, and nowhere :core noticeable than at Camp Currier where the system is to have each troop under the ir.u:1ediate control. of an adult leader. Probably it is because boys are so easily cade ha:ppy in the woods that some scoutnasters seo:o to think all that is necessary is to tak~ thc1:1 to car:p and turn ther.1 loose, yet our handbooks r:1ost earnestly try to if.!pross upon scout lenders tho inporta.~ce of having a well-thought-out prograo. of projects before ever starting on u hike or carlping expedition. The stress so earnestly laid upon this matter is for the double purpose of helping tho scoutrJaster r::iake a good ii:1pression upon tho boys and helping tho boys to have a glorious outing. Though fundar.i.ontally inportant to provide suitable fooi, bedding and shelter, the real success of the outing depends so greatly upon the projects planned and successfully carried through, that scout1:iasters are urged not to slight this :~;attar. ' It is not necessary for the leader to be a woodsr.1an, but he is in the best possible position to know what the r:ier.1bers of his troop want to do, and usually that is precisely what they ought to be allowed to do. The good psychology of saying "Yes" rather than 1'No" to boys should ever be kept in r.1ind. soretir:ies the scouts want to do sor:"ething their leader lmo\1s very little about, but this does not prevent its being adopted as a project, f .or bhe canp director is eqployed for the very purpose of helping out in such cases or . oven assuuing the entire leadership if requested. '!here is nothing in nature that cannot be enjoyed here, and this i::Jakes it wholly unnecessary and inadvisable to resort to city ga~:1es or projects. When boys aro in the woods they enjoy ther.iselvos ·oost if allowed to cast aside for the day or week-end everything that pertains to city life. Give ther..1 a chance, Mr. scoutLaster, and prove the truth of this. ···~ ·- . No. 19. 22, 1529. The next big event in Memphis scouting will be the Jamboree at camp currier on Saturday, June 8th, the next day after the close of school. * • * • The last week-end, beginning as early as Wednesday, saw representatives of the following troops at camp: nos. 7, 8, 10, 27, 29, 47 and 56. Troops 7 and 10 wore busy· felling trees for cabin logs. Troops 8. and 27 came down to camp and hike. Troop 27 was still busy on its new cabin, No. 56 was hauling logs, end No. 47 came only on Sunday for a few hours pleasure in the woods. * * * * .An uxciting ovent on Saturday was the capture of a rattfosnake noarly four feet long and having nine rattles.

Every nook you arc reco1v1ng, as herewith toduy, a letter of news ond information about ca.mp Currier which probn.bly is of as much interest to the members of your troop as to you, but tho fact often comes to light that some of tho Boy Scouts do not have an opportunity to rend these weekly news shoots. Only yesterday an enorbetic Boy scout of Memphis drove down to tho camp with his par0nts for tho solo purpose of inquiring whether this camp will be open all sumnor' o.nd tho car.rp director present every day to help look after the boys and especially to load then on hikes and help then in their nnturo study, When assured thnt such was the case, they said thtit tho troop to ";7hich this boy belongs wishes to corJe do;m often this sui:1uor nnd eventually to build a cabin here. If thct troop hnd boon given a chance to road the CD.L'P Currier Nows, yesterday's trip of inquiry would not have boon necossory; so will you not post tho Nous regularly in ycu.r troop's plnco of ncoting or, if tho troop does not r:ieet during tho sur.n:1er, uiJ.1 you not put tho No~1s into tho honds of sorJe boy leader uho vlill sho-rr it to tho other r.:cnbors?

Troop 29 remained here after the Jamboree until the following Wednesday, end on Thursday troop 33 returned to live in their tents until Saturday night. On ~aturday, also, one of tho new troops, No. 15, came fo~ the week-end, while mombors of Nos,. 34 and 56 wero here on· separate days. * * * Troop 33 was hero mainly for tho serious work of hotping to build their cabin~ the first one to be erected on the north side of the lake sHo. several men who are Ci vi tDns, tho spol'lsoring organization for this troop, were hero to work with the boys on Thursday, Friday, Snturday, ond Monday, and ~lready the new cabin is practically finished. '!he walls of the bu.ilding are made of Tomahawk siding, which produces tho outward appearance of a log cabin. * * * Troop No. 15 came in the :Soy ~out bus, Clll'll.J?ed out along the trail that leads to Noo 34•s cabin, slept only about the customary five hours of first-nighters, and ate a 5 o 1 clock sunday breakfast. !!:!his is a new troop whoso scoutmaster is H. T. :Butler, formerly of Dyersburg, Tenn. He hns been a Bo:t scout himself and also has had experience in leadership. '!ho members of the tTOq;> who accor:npo.niod him on this trip were Hugh :Barton, Lawrence Busby, T. J• :Byrnes, IJ:lhooas Draper, Billy Fuson, Clay Gibson, ]):lwnrd Green,· Cleo Harris, George Kenney, Erskine Lowe, ~d Albert Walmsley. The troop ~s sponsored by the :Bellevue :Baptist Church of Memphis. $Unday forenoon they inspected the Various cabins On tho cmnp, stopped long enough in No. 34ts cabin to have a twenty minute religious service, and selected a beautiful cabin site of their own where in future visHs they intend altvays to pitch their tents. They caught a ground puppy and a tree lizard, jumped a black snake which ran too fast :for anybody to overtake, and dug a box ~rtoise out of the nud. They also r:iade the acquaintance of eight trees---cucuraber, hGp hornbeun, sycar~ore, beech, sugar oa.ple, hickory, white oak, and winged eln---bef ore returning to their canping place to prepare a noonday neo.l. A big crop of blackberries is just beginning to ripen on the coqp. The boys of troop NoQ 15 were tho first to pick sor.1e, which they had for dessert $Unday noon. Occasional rains will r.nke bushels of theso finq berries for thoso who cooo to ca.op during the next few ·weeks. * * * Troop 34 p~ans to spend part of this week at CaJl'.!P improving their cabin and enjoying life in the opene The last time they were here they found a clutch of eggs supposed to be those of a reptile of some kind. '!1hey were not in a n_est but simply grouped together o·n the ground, evidently to hatch by the heat of the sun. ']hey are being kept in the hope that they will be hatched so that it can be seen what manner of creature it is. No. 23. June ?4, 1929. There were scouts at Camp currier every day the past week and two troops at once most of the time. One troop, No. 34, came ~own twice, their overnight hike being in the.nature of a sumner farewell to their scoutmaster, F~ w. Morrison, who left the latter part of the week for his old eastern home in Mass., where he will spend the summer as usual. The troop did not do any work this time, having come just to enjoy themselves in the woods and have good things to oat. * * * One scoutmaster already this surrmer has returned to Memphis s~ck from eating qanned meat that was tainted or of which he ate too much. Canned moat at best is a quostionablo food for camping out. Frosh meat is much better if it can be kept on ice, but not many campers are prepared for such good housekeeping in the woods. However, bacon is hard to boat anywhere, and it has the advontage of being easy to keep. But meat is not a necessary food if one will substitute boons for it. There is druiger, also, in eating too many beans at one tima. one person should not consume a whole can of them at once. Better divide with somebody else. * * * Scoutmaster Pritchard of troop No. 5 was at camp twice during the past week, and members of his troop were here six days. The boys spent most of the week having a good tioe, the best of which was suimning, sometimes as much as throe times a day. But sone good work was put on their new cabin which now has a roof and is far enough along to be occupied. * * * Increased oiling of tho water this year is having a narked effect on the mosquitoes. It is wise, however, to bring sooe kind of dope to keep tho strny insects off. * * * Four days were enjoyed at camp the past week by sooe menbers of troop No. 40 under the leadership of Patrol Leader Hugh :Burkett. ~is young scout is a born c~er and can keep his patrol cor.£ortable in any kind of weather, occupied and happy under all conditions. They report the catch of eight half-pound fish in the waters near car.:rp. However, they picked so l:'lany blackberries that part of then soured before they were all eaten. * * * Cnr>pers coning for the first tine ond staying only over night are often heard to renark, "I wish I had planned to stay longer". * * * Troop No. 29 spent the week-end, as usual, at caI::!J?. Near thmir now cabin they have built rustic scats for holding council fires. Sunday oorning they went on a hike to the rock spring and found several interesting bits of nature on the way. In the afternoon of that day they enjoyed visits fron several auto loads of Meqihis friends. scoutciaster Patton ond J. T· Stephenson, chairnan of the troop con~1ittee, were with the boys during thoir two dayst stay at car.1p. * * * Every Saturday afternoon, when two or noro troops are at caup and wish to indulge in a treasure hunt or other sinilar a.r.msenont, it will be arranged for then. Notice of such a desire should be given to tho canp director at least as early as the day previous, if arrwgenents have to be nade beforehand. This can 1::e done through the Meqphis :Boy scout office. Comp currier rJeds I f . July 1, 1929. TWO troops at can;p again. Members of troop 34 were here Wednesday and 'lhursday. Wednesday night they slept in their unscreened cabin and reported next morning that mosquitoes did not disturb them. It requires two days a week to oil the water at carrip and in the environs, but the good results make it worth while. Neighbors of the camp, also, have become interested in oiling and report noticeable freedom from tho :post. Troop No. 29 was represented at camp on Friday, and the boys rushed directly to the swimming hole. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, who were here Sunday, brought down a carload of neighbor boys who are not Boy scouts, that they might see the new cabin, the c~ in general ond to enjoy a swim. Mr. Stephenson, chairr.lD.n of the troop cor.mttee and who is greatly interested in the cabin, said, 11 I just had to come down". No. 29 is the first to have a troop treasure hunt at Car.lp currier. It will be held on the 4th of July as a part of the dedicatmvy progra.o for their new cabin. Tb.one will be coqietition between the three patrols of the troop in this treasure hunt, and it pror.rl.ses to be a lively contest. Hunter cox, a student at Ole Miss and an ex-Lone Scout, was at tho caop sunday afternoon. He and his brother both were Lone scouts in this conounity before Caop currier was established. Tho other brother is ·now a student at Harvard, l!l1d they both retain a keen interest in scouting. Their father. w. w. cox of tho Eudora neighborhood, is a rJer.1ber of Chickasaw council and of the CaJJp currier C or_-rd t too. · The swir:ir~ing hole at en~ is attracting considerable attention lllld providing both fun ond cor.;.fort ns a hot weather feature. Tho water is over tho heads of li ttlo scouts and docp enough for large boys to swir_i. rt has no appreciable current, ®d yet there is a steady stroorJ of cool water constantly running into and out of it. It can be used as r_'Jany tir.'lCs a day as the boys wish. canpers should not neglect to bring fresh fruit, for those who do are usually howling for sor.1e before they have been at caq> nore than two days. 1here are plenty of wild blackberries to be found just now, but nothing is nore wholesone and appetizing in su.r.iner than all kirils of fresh fruit, the kind you like best, and it is not hard to keep it inc~. Moreover, it is a serious oistake to rely too nu.ch on canned goods, nnd it-is the sign of an inexperienced Cal:!>or. No. 44. July 10, 1929. This year Camp currier had the biggest Four th of July week in its history. There were seven troops represented at camp during the week, an average of ore a day, and as many as four troops at the same time. * * * Troop 29 had set July 4 as the date to dedicate their new cabin, but although they were here two days the boys were having such a glorious time celebrating the Fourth with firecrackers and otherwise, swimning, hiking, and treasure hunting, that Scoutmaster Patton found no time for the dedicatcr y ceremony, so they had none except the prayer of the pastor as the crowd of scouts and grownups sat down to their Thursday eveni~ picnic feast. Since th.e completion of their cabin scoutmaster Patto:p. has been figuring the problem eats down to a fine point, so that he now is able to provide excellent meals at 15 cents apiece, and all that a hungry boy wants to eat, too. / There were no police regulations to act as a k~ll-joy in tbe use of Fourth of July fireworks, so the boys made the woods ring with their cannonading, and yet everything was done with so much care that nobody was hurt. TWenty scouts were present and they had thirty-eight visitors, making a merry group of fifty-eight who enjoyed the big day together. The three-mile treasure hunt was won by the ]lack ]ear patrol including Eugene Early, ]onner Ragland, Edward Eldridge, Paul Link, Eugene Grissom, and Farris Novel. They made the round in fifty minutes. perhaps.some other troop has a patrol that would like to challenge these Black ]ears for a treasure hunt. * * * scoutmaster Wm. J. ]arfield was down for two days with part of his troop, No. 27. '!hey had a gc;iod program and a pleasant out]rg. * * * Messrs. D. T· Griffith and H. L• ]eardsley of the tropp committee of No. 33 were here two days and a group of the scouts under the lead~rship of Jimmie Dallas spent three days at camp working on their recently inclosed cabin. * * * Troop No. 38 enjoyed its first over-night caniping visit at Camp currier the last week-end. R· ]. Wilkerson carne as scout leader, and the boys were busy every minute of the time. They broke the record by putting in a full ' nights sleep the first night out. They hiked, swarn, and feasted on blackberries of their ovm picking. * * * Troop No. 8 came without an adult leader, but under the direction of the cam,p director they spent two happ~ days.

The c01-veriience of having one's own cabin is a real advantage in every_ way, not the least of which is that the parents of tenderfoots arc more willing to let their sons coroo in all kinds of weather.

The camp director 1 s constant presence there results in the perfect protectim of the camp so that it is enjoying entire freedom from poache:rs of any kind. Nobody but :Boy Scouts, their fam:Ues and viti tors come to the camp ooy more, and they are always assured of being properly received9 their needs provided for, their comfor·t insured, and their program of activities assisted in every way. * * * Aug11st usually is the month for longer encampments than usual at camp currier, a time '\7hen the boys and their scoutmaster come to spend at least a week of their vncation together here living in tents.

Fishing is the latest developnent at Camp Currier. It began last week-end and has been found to be real sport. T. J. Byrnes of troop 15 has t re distinction of catching the longest fish thus far, eight inches. He had never caught one b.efore. Another fisherman caught fOUl' feet of fish out 0f the swimming hole last Saturday in ono hour. The kinds arc catfish and different varieties of perch, and they bite as if nobody had ever fed them before. Tw~ fisherman caught enough at the swimning hole to ma...'lt.e a meal for six. Grub worms seem to be the best bait, but gr'lsshoppers do very well and are more :plentiful. For three years tho :soy scouts have been dreaming about swimming and fishing at this caI!lp, and how, presto! these sports already are reality and so attractive as to hold the center of the stage. * * * Five tr.oops uere at Ca.nr.9 the past \7eek, covering all seven days, and at least two troops were present every do.y. ~; * * Troop 5 already is enjoying its new cabin, and the merit badge.:.; test· on bird study r;as passed 'i;he last ucek-end by three of its members; Thurman Crawford, Osborn Bradley, and John Slater. * * * scoutmaster H. T. :Butler and ten members of his troop, No. 15, came into c~ on the :Boy scout bus lnst Saturday a.nd returned to Mcr:iphis Sunday afternoon. Their project for this visit was cleaning of·f their nenly chosen cabin site, and they did a very good job of it. They also sue,m, fished, and :pnssod tests. * "* * As this good ne\1S proba.bly will" e;1ttract. increased numbers this week-end, please reaA the followmng before you start: the fish already caugl~t have been as large as one•s he~d and on down to half that size, but that is large enough to cook and the quality is fine. '!he fishing stream is small, so only a short fishing rod is needed not longer than six or eight feet. You will be expected to fish only >Tith ordinary hook ruid lino. Fisherman, also, 111ill be ex:pected to catch only ns mu.ch as they Tiill cook and oat while at camp. Furtherrr.ore, in view of the larger numbers that will be coming to CalI!l? now, it is more important thm ever that each group of Boy scouts coming do'l7Il shall be nccorr::poniod by their scoutmasters or other adult ruid real scout leaders. Fishing hours will be limited as follows: From daylight until 9: 00 A. r,1. and from 5 p. M. till dark. swimming hours, also, will be limited for the present to one hour at a time between 9 A. M. ond 12 otclock noon and between 4 p. },,Z. to 7. Of course, the fishing wi 11 be limi tod to scouts. Harry c. Myers, Ca.mp Director. Aug. 7, 1929. Troop No. 10 pulled into camp Sunday morning for their 4th annual eight-day encampment. It required the Boy Scout bus and half a dozen cars °Vl transport them. It would be ha~a. to beat this troop for genuine camping, and t.Ley wUl help make it interesting for other troops that may be here this week. On +Jha absence of their scoutmaster, Dr. Howard Cu:cl, who is snending the summer in the nc)J.'th, the troop is fortun&te and hr-:ppy to have with them their former scoutmaster, c. D. Kennedy, and his r:ife whose home is in st. Lou.is. * * * scoutmaster Roger Stanley, with part of his troop, No. 19, :::pent two days at camp this week. Thoy caught som0 fish, but lack of proper bait r;revented their having much luck. Rowover, they !ID.do up for this with two good bli'rir.:irning periods every day. The scoutmaster is himself a woodsman and kept the boys l•1;,.sy both days with an interesting program. Tho night they nerc ti;ere 111as ideal for star-gazing, and an hour or more was spout on tho headquarters ova1 studying the heavens, particular attention being given to throe constellations which seemed to be quite well learned. One morning they 1110nt on a tracking hike that proved very interesting and revealed some ~ights of nature IThich none of them had seen before. * * * Troop NO. 41 of Hernando, Miss., came for their first visit to Cam,p currier last week. They made straight for the swimming hole which natural~ Y is growing in popularity. "VJe went on an overnight hike to the Coldwater river ·l. few weeks ago11 , said Scoutma.ster McKee, 11 but, strange to say, \1e found no good :olace to swim. This little place, though, is ideal and you can see how the boys enJoy it. That little strear.1 of pure spring rTater keeps it sanitary." The first day this troop was in carr:p they were visited by two of the troop committeemen, G. c. Mingee and J. K· Tipton, who hiked over the camp almost like youngsters ond helped select a cabin site. ~t night the boys studied the stars a little while, but a whole day in the woods made them too sleepy to stay mmk.e long. The next ~orning•s r:iail brought theti a surprise in the shape of a letter in a long business anvblope. It came from their troop co11.1f.1i t tee visitors of the day before, stating that they he.d made a canvass of the business men of Hernando 11ho had contr:4buted so liberally that the r.loney for their proposed cabin nas already raised. scoutf.'.aster McKee had to return home the.t day, as had been :::lanned for the troop; but the boys wanted to stay longer, so they were allowed to ·erra in over another night. on leaving, Mr. McKee said: "We shall begin building our ::abin without delay, and intend to finish it before school opens." * * * The last week-end has seen soma good work done on the doors end windows of Troop 5 • s cabin so that now they have the build.ing inclosed. * * * Troop cor.JL1itteer.1an Krivcher of No. 25 11as at canp sun.day and announced that this troop already has sufficient Eoney to build their new cabin. v1ork on which will be cor.oenced this week.

" ---.------------ - -- -- Jo. 48. Aug. 20, 1929. ]ecause the usual :Boy scout news was not issued last week, G~is report must cover a fortnight. Week before last one of the big events of the summer was troop No. lO•s annual eight-day encampment, which has become a regular feature at camp currier. "It was the best encampment WO have had yot, 11 said George w. :Bell, JllO of the assistant scoutmasters upon whom with Ed Shelton rested the responsibility because of the absence of the scoutmaster, Dr. Howard curl. At tho edge of tho woods on tho east side of the meadow in front of troop No. 5's neV! ca.bin worG set U:9 tho nj.nc pup tents, two wall tents for hospital and officers quarters and a larg~~ k~. ':;ehen tent. A new addition to the kitchen equipment was an ice-box excoll8ntly hJme-ma.de by tho troop before coming down. Their canw p~esented an interesting sight, whether it was at sunrise with the boys rolling out in response to tho bugle, at noon when the chow line of ravenous Scouts was. marching past the bench of stearnrhng victuals, in the afternoon when everything Vl'as in g_u:i.et ord.or under tho disinfecting rays of an August sun while the boys rested in tho shade, after supper when all sat in a circle around the nightly council fire, or at taps 11hen ca.ch tent uas alight uith a candle in a homemade tin-can candlestick, a piece of handicraft taught by c. ]. Kennedy, the ex-scoutmaster uho spent four days of tho week as a visitor at the camp of his old troop. George ]ell and Ed Shelton, the two assistant scoutmasters in cha~ge, grew up in this troop~ A few years ago they were timid tenderfoots, but they have developed into leaders of whom Chickasaw council is proud a.nd to whom the 9arents of the younger boys ought to give an annual vote of thanks. In an informal and probably unconscious way tho friends of tho troop did that this sumr:ior, for on Sunday, August 4, ten visitors came <iorm from Menphis. On \icdnesday there \7ere eleven visitors; on ~hursday, ten; Friday, t~o; Saturday, nineteen; and sunday, thirteen. Ed Shelton, r;ho had charge of the kitchen, used the scouts in details of three to help him and to learn h0\7 to cook. Each detail was on duty for three meals handrunning, and then their kitchen duties were furnished for tho week. Each boy paid $5 for the expenses of the eight-day outing.,, This amount paid for not only transportation and all their food, including :r:iany complimentary meals for their guests, but also bought a nUDber of new kitchen utensils and the naterial for their new ice-box. George Bell had charge of the hospital tent an.ong other duties, but the casualties of the week were no more serious than a few Di.nor scratches and bruises. Every norning the boys were given setting-up exercises and then they trooped down to the spring stream for a dip _before breakfast, with the result that everybody was up and coning throughout the week, playing, hiking, suin:iing, and boxing. A series of playground ball gar.1es was played with the Eudora troop, No. 56, with two victories for No. 56 a..vid one for No. 10, but the Memphis troop pronises to reverse this next sumr:ier. Saturday night scoutr.:iaster J.W. cooper of troop No. 56 and his boys attended No. 10ts council fire when a lively prograr.i was put on, including the antics of "Miss Williacsll, v1ho net and was introduced to the Eudora scouts on their way to the council fire. * * * Scoutnaster Howard pri tchard and sone of his troop r:ienbers were at car:rp two days, and now their new cabin is under lock and key. * * * '.:..2- scout Thomas Brawley of troop No. 27 pedaled doVln to the ca.mp Sunday, August 11, on a fifty-mile bicycle hike.

It was a busy day for the men and boys, and before night some of the former were thoroughly tired. Most of the forenoon was spent in putting down a foundation of readyrnade concrete blocks and in sawing of logs to certain lengths. At noon it was a pleasu:re to turn to the attractive picnic lunch which the ladies had spread in varied abundance, and after a brief rest the manual laborers returned to their job with a determination that resulted in fourteen of the largest logs being put in place, carrying the walls of the building to nearly half their intended height.

Saturday was dedica'tion de.y for the Civitan cabin, Troop No. 33. The Scouts came to the camp in the :Boy scout bus Friday evening. Early in the afternoon their guests, EH .. •.:tbers of the Civitan Club and their wives, began to arrive, and at 4 o t clock the formalities commenced. First the official photographer, ILL. Beard8ley 1 shot the compa.'1y in various groups, and then Iv1r. Harry Loring Clarke took charge of the ceremonies. He introduced :B:.11 (Fi. L.) Owens, pres5.den t of the Ci vi tans, who very gracefully pros on tod the fine, new cabin to the troop. Dr. J.J. Walker, pastor of the East End Christian Church, made the dedicatory prayer; and Chester Briney, as Scoutmaster, formally accepted the troop1s backwoods home. Scout Executive Gordon Morris gave a congratulatory talk, and Jirrrw:ie Dallas, who has be6n the senior patrol leader during the past year, finished the program as the representative of tho boys themselves. Th0 company was then invited to anothur part of tho cabin sito where a light lunch was served while the boys put on an interesting exhibition of scout activities. The Civitans have done a fine thing for Troop 33, and sev0ral of tho club 1s m0mbcrs, who modestly keep themsolvos in tho background, are deserving of special credit. If this troop d%s not make .a good showing in camp life. accom.plishments, it will not be the fault of their sponsors. The new officers of the troop for the present season are: Roy Hearn, senior patrol leader; Robert creagi.1, Claude MclTew, Jimde Dallas and John Creagh, patrol leaders. They were presented to tho:i.r Memphis visitors in a formal v1ay; they had char.ee of the patrol performances as their f-Uvsts ate refreshments; and upon them rests the responsibility of making a. camp record this year in keeping with their home in the woods. ****** Rec<:Jn tly by mistake the nem.:e of this camp has appct1.red in print several times as "Currie", but it is hoped that nobody will be misled into calling it that instead of its real name, camp Currier, which alread;ir has so much fine sentiment wrapped up in it. * * * * * * Saturday also brought the long anticipated complimentary barbecue for Troop No. 34, winners of the last Camp Currier Contest. The excitement began Friday morning when the pig was butchered. Soon after school the sane day Hugh Burkett, the vetvran camping patrol leader of Troop No. 40, arrived with seven other members of the troop to barbecue the pork that night and serve the feast next day. This they did in perfect fashion, taking turns in three-hour tricks from dusk until breakfast. time. Next morning brought other r.1ernbers of both troops, and at 5 o'clock in the af tcrnoon forty-seven feasters sat down to the following menu: ]8Xbecued pork, buns, potato salad, cookies l'nd apples mixed v1ith good cheer nnd followed by a short program. First the coveted hickory loving-cup was presented to the victors, pnd in accepting the trophy for his troop Scoutmaster F.VJ. Morrison said they would rather have it thnn El. silver cup.

This troop has been going into the woods on Saturdays since school began, and they report that half enough logs already have been cut to build their cabin. i:rhe troop is growing, too. can1p curr1er No. 54 i ! Oct. 8, 1929 The first possum hunt of the season was out of the ordinary because ladies took part. It was the idea of qome of the old.er :nembers of Troop 10 - Ed Shel ton, Cecil McDonald, Raymond Owen, Thomas Gaines, Harold Gowdy, George Jones and Harry Rogers. Their guests were their former Scoutn1astcr, c. B. Kennedy, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs • .Andrew -lohnson, and Misses Ruth :Brennon, Tina Mariana and Elizabeth Marshall. They drove down to camp after an early supper, and it was neaxly 8 o 1 clock when the~r reached the woods. Indeed, Uncle :Sen Alexander, tht;i veteran hunter who w~s to lead in the chase of fat marsupials, had given up their coming and hBd taken off his shoes to go to bed when the merry party knocked at his cabin door. Somebody hnd recently told Uncle Ben a terrible snake story so that he was almost afraid to venture forth after dark, but having promised to go, he consented to accompany the young white folks with the distinct understanding that somebody else should t2ke the lead and he only follow with his dogs. It was an almoFt silent group that moved along through the forest for about twenty minutes without the least sound from any of tho dogs. '11h.en Watch barked and Uncle Ben said: 11He has it treed already.11 Then the pent-up excitement broke out and the hunters all joined in a mad race for the tree. The animal was found to bo in a hollow tree, and several woodchoppers took turns with an axe before the tree fe~l. With a flashlight the possum could be seen about four feet up in the hollow, so th.e tree trunk was chopped in two again before the quarry could be rel.'lched, and then it was that Raymond Owen pulled it out by the tail and chucked it into a tow-sack. some of the young ladies had never seen a possum nnd for most of them it was a novel experience to go hunting in the woods after dark. Two more possums were soon brought to bay, but as both of them took refuge in sink-holes and it would have required several hours to dig them out, it was promptly voted that 11 we have had enough sport for one nigh t 11 and the party hastened back to the camp-fire where all were soon busy roasting wieners and otherwise making ready for a midnight supper before starting back home. * * * * * * * * * * Troop 56 was at camp two days at the week-end. They hiked, tried some new ideas in cooking and wound up their stay with a treasure hunt followed by a roast-chicken supper. This spre8d was donated by the two patrol leaders, Irving Craven and Albert Sidney White. The treasure hunt was over the same trails as had been used by Troop 27 a few weeks ago, and the opposing patrols roached the goal all within the sElille minuto, Albqrt Sidney VVni te' s patrol ranking the round in 26 minutes, while that of Irving craven's patrol was 27 minutes. The winners also brought in a beautiful baby gray squirrel which they surpi:isod on the ground and captured before it could ciimb a tree. Moreover, the other patrol found a box tortoise. No wonder they couldntt win. * * * * * * * * * * * Troop 25 was at camp again, still working on their new cabin, which now has almost half of the roof on and the fireplace foundntion in. No. 56 Oct. 30, 1929. Two possums were tr~ed at once Saturday night and, as is often the case under such circumstances, neitiler one of them was caught. Later a third marsupial was found. One scout shinned up the tree before exactly locating the quarry. His companions on the ground soon espied it directly behind him, and on turning around he faced its wide-open mouth and glistening teeth only inches in front of his nose. Then, either from quaking fear or deliberate intention, he promptly shook the animal off the limb and Harry Davis of Troop 8 caught it, thereby addin<s 500 po in ts to his fall con test score. In the struggle the possum bit the boy's wrist, but an immediate apnlication of iodine was all the first aid that was needed for that, and next mo~ning it was practically well. * * * * * * * Eleven troops were represented at camp the last week, a record break~. * * * *'* * * Troop 50 improved its first week-end apportunity to begin its new cabin, which scoutmaster J. w. Austin says will be pushed to early completion. ******* A large group of Troop 8 boys spent the week~end at camp. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. A. ]3. Rowe, one of whose sons is a member of this troop, broug;h.t a few friends out from the city and treated the combined group of :Boy scouts and grown-ups with a fried chicken picni<! dinner that proved to be a rea.l feast• Not only that, but Mr. Rowe proved his faith in the prqposed new troop cabin by bringing down in an accompanying truck a newly constructed outdoor can~ table and bench seats which vrnre initiated by use that day and they donated and placed in position as the first permanent improvement on the cabin site. * * * * * * * Troop 10 had young lady frhind; as guests at their second private possum hunt last Friday night at camp currier. The hunt was followed by a midnight campfire repDst before starting back to the city. * * * * * * * A group from Troop 25 put in another good dayt s work on their cabin and now have a fine new fireplace and chimney completed. They soon will be ready to uove into their backwoods home. ******* A new record was established last Saturday by a comparatively new Memphis troop, No. 43, of vinich Rev. w. L· Norris, pastor of the New south Memphis :Baptist Church, is scoutmaster. Between 11.A..M. and 4 p.M. the scoutmaster and five of the larger members of the troop, without any employed help, felled the trees for forty-one logs for their cabin which Mr. Norris in his custo~iary businesslike way purposes to build without any unnecessary delay. It is to be a genuinely oldf~shioned log cabin, for this preacher is something of a woodsnnn himself. llC****** Scoutmaster H• T. :Butler, Assistc:mt Scoutmaster Robert Raymond and twenty E1e:mbers of tha.t growing Troop, No. 15, arrived at camp Saturday and followed through an intensive two-day program of work and fun at their big cabin site over OJ} the west side. one of their r:iost enjoyable diversions was a spirited treasure hunt in which the Black Bear pa.trol was victorious. NO. 57 Nov. 6, 1929. Camp currier is indebted again, this time to Mr. Geo. R. Kendall of Memphis, who brought as a gift to be hung up in the Headquarters Cabin a fine eight-day clock. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. Kendall came out to the camp, as so many parents do, to bring- their son who is a member of Troop 1, and with him they brought this very welcome and useful surprise. It is pleasing indeed to have people do such nice things as this, and all such graceful acts are all the more appreciated because they are not solicited. "'******* Father John H. Shea, Scoutmaster of Troop 49, and a dozen of his scouts drove to camp in the rain last Friday for their first visit here. The day was rainy and the forecast said Hmore rain,11 but Father Shea said the boys had been look:ing forward to the trip for two weeks and 1:0uld have been greatly disappointed not to come, so he brought them. And they all proved to be good sports and good campers. They were lodged in a cabin where they could keep dry and warm, and it is well that they were so protected, for at 1 A. M. it poured down again. But saturda~r brought better weather, and they had a good time although the possum hunt they had planned for was out of the question. ******** Mr. T. E. Beard, one of the fathers of No. 19, was at camp the last week-end and built an outdoor oven for this troop which,will appreciate this added equipment. All such things, too, are pleasing evidences of the parents! interest in their sons' outdoor activities. ******** The erection of Troop 40t s fine new cabin is going on apace.

Dear scout Leader: At the regular monthly meeting of the Round Table at the East End Christian Church on Monday, March 18th, there was a discussion as to securing transportation from Memphis to Camp currier, and it was decided that a truck, .owned and operated by the council, would be the most feasible means of providing this transportation and by so doing open up Camp currier for use by more troops and more boys. It will cost $250.00 for a second hand ton and a half Federal truck in good condition. Licenses, insurance fees, constructing seats, and other items necessary to operate this truck, will make the total cost approximately $400.00. As no funds are available from the Memphis commun1ty Fund for this amount, it was decided that each troop in the council should pay its pro rata of $10. 00 towards the purchase of the truck and its equipm·ent. EY this means, it will not cost any troop very much, bit all troops will be afforded the opportunity of using the truck and going to camp as often as they like. It will be necessary to charge for the use of the truck, and. this charge will be as low as possible. To stert with, the fare from Memphis to camp currier ond return will be 25¢ per person, and, if this amount proves adequate for the running expenses of the truck, this price will be maintained. HOwever, should thi·s fo.re prove inadequate to operate the truck, it will be necessc:.ry to rr.ise the fare from 25¢ to 50¢. It is not expected tho.t any money will be mnde in the operntion of the truck, and the only charge will be for upkeep on it. At the Rou..~d Table a number of troops were represented, and Troop 1 donated $15.00 for the truck and ·the following troops donated $10.00 each: Troop 3, 5, 7, 10~ 13, 14, 16, 20, 29, 32, 33, 34, 45, 47, 54, and elso iVir. H· R· Schwartzkopf donated $10. 00 for the Lions Club Troop which is in process of organization. Troops Hho have not already paid are requested to help this good work along end to send in their pro rata of the cost of the truck at the earliest possible date in order thnt the truck may be paid far and put in service just as soon as possible. The sooner we have the money in Headquarters the sooner the truck will be ~vailable, and as good weather is coming on this should afford many troops an opportunity to go to camp currier who would otherwise not be able to go. please let us hear from you at your eerliest convenience. With best wishes, I ai-:1, cordially yours, Scout Executive. �---, 0 I... r·\I j L"" IL-JIrd ) Vol. 2, No. 27. ·. Jl7'1 i,"'.""V'\(~A.'. ! i rv, __.I_.

INTER.;,TROOP RALLY TOURNAMENT: The final rally in the 'Jro!IJ:rnamen t was held in the service Building of the Memphis Power & Light Company last Friday night, and it was one of the best events in the history of Memphis Scouting. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd to watch Troop 3 and Troop 19 when these two troops met to.decide the champions of the tournamunt. EOth troops had 100 percent attendance, Troop 3 having 32 boys and Troop 19 having 22 boys pres8n t. The troops wore so evenly matched and there was so littlo to choose between them that it was not known until tho end of tho rally r1hich troop had won, but on the final chock-up by the Judges Troop 19 had 32 points and Troop 3 had 31, so Troop 19 was the winner by a single point. Thero was a splendid spirit of Scouting throughout the rally, and both troops arc to b0 congratulated for their excellent ;1ork in all of the events~ When the results were announced, Troop 19 was awarded a blue pennant with 11hi to letters as Champions of tho tournament, while Troop 3 v1as awarded a red. pennant with vmi te letters as Runner-up. Noxt yeo:r it is planned to have another tournament, as this one hc.s aroused more interest Dnd enthusic.sm than any event during the past several years.

COUNCIL-WIDE RALLY: In tho rul0s covering the Council-Wide Rnlly to be held on May 11th, it states in the 11 0rder of EVe!1ts 11 thet "Forestry, Fire J3Uilding. and Water Boiling, and Knot Tying nro to be patrol events". As there are ten boys to participate in Forestry, this monns thnt ton boys arc to present themselves as a patrol '.7hen they arc ready to participt~te in tho event, but these ten boys cnn be selected from the entire troop; in other words, it is not con tompleted tha.t four of five boys should try to take Forestry nnd than at some later time tho balruice of the ten boys to come to the Judges for Forestry, but that all of the ton boys shall present themselves et the same time for this event. Also, in the Fire by Friction, the rules show one teaJn of two scouts from each troop. Therefore, tho "Order of Events" is in error in callmg this a patrol event, as only two boys from each troop will participate. scouts 18 years of age and over are not permitted to participate in this rally, as the seme ruling governs the Council-Wide Rally as governed the Inter-Troop Rnlly Tournament.

A number of the best swimmers are practicing fancy diving and, with the aid of the spring bonrd, they nre becoming proficient rapidly.

Government Fleet at West Memphis the council has been loaned a P:rand new 20 foot skiff capable of holding about ten boys. This boat has never been used before, and was, delivered to the Sea scouts on last Thursd.ay, the 25th. ]ert Pouncey, Mate of the s.s.s. Kia Kirna, and scouts James Hughes and Maurice Butler were the first ones to have the pleasure of manning tho naas on the new boat. Through the courtesy of commodore Ray H. Boaz the boat has been moored free of charge at the Memphis Outboard Motor Club at the foot of Adams street on Wolf River. It is expected that this boat will be of trel'n:!ndous help in the sea Scout program and there is no doubt but what it will afford a tremendous amount of pleasure to all of the boys in the sea scout ship13 whp are privileged to use it. The sen Scouts expect to httve some real experiences o~ho water in this boat and tt will be fine training for all of tho sea scouts. ;,£;.ND I CRAFT DISPLAY: Our Scouts are holding out their exhibits for this displny. 32 to date has brought in the only exhibits, but they have certainly done some Jonderful work. scout Oliver Moody of Troop 32 has brought in an electric light stand made of inlaid wood, together with a gavel also made of inlaid wood. These two articles are beautifully made and required real skill to make. Scout Selby :Biggerstaff has brought in a beautiful model of a yacht r1hich required over three months to build. This boat is wonderfully built and is a splendid piece of workmanship. If each of the other troops will turn in one or two pieces of woodwork, and especially articles made of old lunber, boxes, etc., they will be of great help in making a display of which all of the scouts in Memphis will be proud. The u. s. Department of conmerce, through the Mempt.is representative of Bureau of Foreigh and Domestic comnerce is expecting the Scouts to oake an exhib,i tion which will be of wide interest, but we cDnnot r;iake this display unless we have the articles to put in the .-rindcw. These articles will be displayed during the/ week of August 26th through the 31st, and any scout who has an article which he has .made of wood is urged to bring it to headquarters just as soon as possible so that we can have the ddsplay made up. ~roop ,£'!,ORAL PARADE: The annual playground parade of the }f.er::.phi s Park commission will be held on Saturday afternoon, August 10th, in Overton Par~.

Mr. Coyle Shea, Grand Marshal of the parade, has arranged with Professor R. L. Jones for all Scouts to march with their respective troops at the head of the Armistice Day Parade. Those Scouts who are members of the R.O. T. c. will be relee.sed from their R. o. T. c. uni ts in order to march with their troops. The only scouts who are to be in any other organization on Armistice Day are the r!lembers of the Rotary ]oys Band or other bands of the different schools who are to take part in the parade. Every other sco~t ~s expected to be in line with his troop. This is the first time in a nur.1ber of ;rears that scouts have been permitted to march as a body on .1;.rmistice Day and the parade should be an outstanding event as we expect to have at least 1,000 boys in line. A number of troops are drilling in preparation for this big event and all troops are requested to practice marching in colu1:m of patrols so that we will present a really splendid showing. Full details as to time and place of the parade will be fori.varded to you next week. In the meantir,10, please urge every boy to prepe.re hiLriself with a clean uniform for this event.

Dear scout Leader: At the regular monthly meeting of the Round Table at the East End Christian Church on Monday, March 18th, there was a discussion as to securing transportation from Memphis to Camp currier, and it was decided that a truck, .owned and operated by the council, would be the most feasible means of providing this transportation and by so doing open up Camp currier for use by more troops and more boys. It will cost $250.00 for a second hand ton and a half Federal truck in good condition. Licenses, insurance fees, constructing seats, and other items necessary to operate this truck, will make the total cost approximately $400.00. As no funds are available from the Memphis commun- 1ty Fund for this amount, it was decided that each troop in the council should pay its pro rata of $10. 00 towards the purchase of the truck and its equipm·ent. EY this means, it will not cost any troop very much, bit all troops will be afforded the opportunity of using the truck and going to camp as often as they like. It will be necessary to charge for the use of the truck, and. this charge will be as low as possible. To stert with, the fare from Memphis to camp currier ond return will be 25¢ per person, and, if this amount proves adequate for the running expenses of the truck, this price will be maintained. HOwever, should thi·s fo.re prove inadequate to operate the truck, it will be necessc:.ry to rr.ise the fare from 25¢ to 50¢. It is not expected tho.t any money will be mnde in the operntion of the truck, and the only charge will be for upkeep on it. At the Rou..~d Table a number of troops were represented, and Troop 1 donated $15.00 for the truck and ·the following troops donated $10.00 each: Troop 3, 5, 7, 10~ 13, 14, 16, 20, 29, 32, 33, 34, 45, 47, 54, and elso iVir. H· R· Schwartzkopf donated $10. 00 for the Lions Club Troop which is in process of organization. Troops Hho have not already paid are requested to help this good work along end to send in their pro rata of the cost of the truck at the earliest possible date in order thnt the truck may be paid far and put in service just as soon as possible. The sooner we have the money in Headquarters the sooner the truck will be ~vailable, and as good weather is coming on this should afford many troops an opportunity to go to camp currier who would otherwise not be able to go. please let us hear from you at your eerliest convenience. With best wishes, I ai-:1, cordially yours, Scout Executive. ---, 0 I... r·\I j L"" I Ir d Jl7'1! i,i "'r."v"V,'\ (i~:.A::.:'l..J L) -J·. __ .I._.. J l. \.~:.:::;:'.> -··-l Vol. 2, No. 27.

INTER.;,TROOP RALLY TOURNAMENT: The final rally in the 'Jro!IJ:rnamen t was held in the service Building of the Memphis Power & Light Company last Friday night, and it was one of the best events in the history of Memphis Scouting. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd to watch Troop 3 and Troop 19 when these two troops met to.decide the champions of the tournamunt. EOth troops had 100 percent attendance, Troop 3 having 32 boys and Troop 19 having 22 boys pres8n t. The troops wore so evenly matched and there was so littlo to choose between them that it was not known until tho end of tho rally r1hich troop had won, but on the final chock-up by the Judges Troop 19 had 32 points and Troop 3 had 31, so Troop 19 was the winner by a single point. Thero was a splendid spirit of Scouting throughout the rally, and both troops arc to b0 congratulated for their excellent ;1ork in all of the events~ When the results were announced, Troop 19 was awarded a blue pennant with 11hi to letters as Champions of tho tournament, while Troop 3 v1as awarded a red. pennant with vmi te letters as Runner-up. Noxt yeo:r it is planned to have another tournament, as this one hc.s aroused more interest Dnd enthusic.sm than any event during the past several years.

COUNCIL-WIDE RALLY: In tho rul0s covering the Council-Wide Rnlly to be held on May 11th, it states in the 11 0rder of EVe!1ts 11 thet "Forestry, Fire J3Uilding. and Water Boiling, and Knot Tying nro to be patrol events". As there are ten boys to participate in Forestry, this monns thnt ton boys arc to present themselves as a patrol '.7hen they arc ready to participt~te in tho event, but these ten boys cnn be selected from the entire troop; in other words, it is not con tompleted tha.t four of five boys should try to take Forestry nnd than at some later time tho balruice of the ten boys to come to the Judges for Forestry, but that all of the ton boys shall present themselves et the same time for this event. Also, in the Fire by Friction, the rules show one teaJn of two scouts from each troop. Therefore, tho "Order of Events" is in error in callmg this a patrol event, as only two boys from each troop will participate. scouts 18 years of age and over are not permitted to participate in this rally, as the seme ruling governs the Council-Wide Rally as governed the Inter-Troop Rnlly Tournament. MERIT J3.ADGES: Troop 40 is working very hnrd on Merit :Badges, and 14 Scouts from this troop were awarded 26 Merit :Badges at the court of Honor last Friday.

In aiidition to these, other prizes will be owarded to scouts who complete the treasure hunt, so there is a chance for tuonty-four boys to win prizes nnd this should e~uble every troop to win something. Judging from treasure bunts in the past, keen wits end good Scouting will be required to find the treasure, but, oh, what a joy when you do find tho treasure at the end of the troilJ After the treasure hunt there will be a picnic supper. Each scout is expected to bring his own food, and the parents of the scouts and guests aro also expected to bring their own picnic baskets of food. !J:ihe .Council will not furnish any food as wed o not know how many will be there, and it is thought that it would be much better to have every troop to Illllke its own arrangements for FOOD and TRANSPORTATION.

This is a sand and cley court, und is built in the open space back of the visitors' lodge only about 250 yards from headquarters, so that it will be swailable at all times withou.t the boys having to go to the athletic field for tennis. New screen doors have been installed on most of the lodges and the mess hall has been partially rescreoned ond put in fine condition.

A number of the best swimmers are practicing fancy diving and, with the aid of the spring bonrd, they nre becoming proficient rapidly. Canoo trips are very populnr as usual, and every Sunday nfternoon there are a number of boys who go up to Rn.coon Springs or nbove o.nd' dovm bolo\7 C Hardy on a canoe hike.

Fisher of the u.s. Government Fleet at West Memphis the council has been loaned a P:rand new 20 foot skiff capable of holding about ten boys. This boat has never been used before, and was, delivered to the Sea scouts on last Thursd.ay, the 25th. ]ert Pouncey, Mate of the s.s.s. Kia Kirna, and scouts James Hughes and Maurice Butler were the first ones to have the pleasure of manning tho naas on the new boat. Through the courtesy of commodore Ray H. Boaz the boat has been moored free of charge at the Memphis Outboard Motor Club at the foot of Adams street on Wolf River. It is expected that this boat will be of trel'n:!ndous help in the sea Scout program and there is no doubt but what it will afford a tremendous amount of pleasure to all of the boys in the sea scout ship13 whp are privileged to use it. The sen Scouts expect to httve some real experiences o~ho water in this boat and tt will be fine training for all of tho sea scouts. ;,£;.ND I CRAFT DISPLAY: Our Scouts are holding out their exhibits for this displny. ~roop 32 to date has brought in the only exhibits, but they have certainly done some Jonderful work. scout Oliver Moody of Troop 32 has brought in an electric light stand made of inlaid wood, together with a gavel also made of inlaid wood. These two articles are beautifully made and required real skill to make. Scout Selby :Biggerstaff has brought in a beautiful model of a yacht r1hich required over three months to build. This boat is wonderfully built and is a splendid piece of workmanship. If each of the other troops will turn in one or two pieces of woodwork, and especially articles made of old lunber, boxes, etc., they will be of great help in making a display of which all of the scouts in Memphis will be proud. The u. s. Department of conmerce, through the Mempt.is representative of Bureau of Foreigh and Domestic comnerce is expecting the Scouts to oake an exhib,i tion which will be of wide interest, but we cDnnot r;iake this display unless we have the articles to put in the .-rindcw. These articles will be displayed during the/ week of August 26th through the 31st, and any scout who has an article which he has .made of wood is urged to bring it to headquarters just as soon as possible so that we can have the ddsplay made up. ,£'!,ORAL PARADE: The annual playground parade of the }f.er::.phi s Park commission will be held on Saturday afternoon, August 10th, in Overton Par~.

Mr. Coyle Shea, Grand Marshal of the parade, has arranged with Professor R. L. Jones for all Scouts to march with their respective troops at the head of the Armistice Day Parade. Those Scouts who are members of the R.O. T. c. will be relee.sed from their R. o. T. c. uni ts in order to march with their troops. The only scouts who are to be in any other organization on Armistice Day are the r!lembers of the Rotary ]oys Band or other bands of the different schools who are to take part in the parade. Every other sco~t ~s expected to be in line with his troop. This is the first time in a nur.1ber of ;rears that scouts have been permitted to march as a body on .1;.rmistice Day and the parade should be an outstanding event as we expect to have at least 1,000 boys in line. A number of troops are drilling in preparation for this big event and all troops are requested to practice marching in colu1:m of patrols so that we will present a really splendid showing. Full details as to time and place of the parade will be fori.varded to you next week. In the meantir,10, please urge every boy to prepe.re hiLriself with a clean uniform for this event. TROOP 49: Troop 49, which r..ieets at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, has reregis tered with F·ather John H. Shea as scoutr:.1aster and Frank Frazier as assistant scoutr:Jaster. There are a number of boys who plan to join this troop in the very near future and Father Shea expects to have a full troop within a short while. The Council is very gli1d to have this troop· reorganized under such splendid leadership. KAMP KIA KINiA: Eagle scout Bob Wells of Troop 11 is the first boy to sig;n en application for the 1930 season at Kio. Kima. :Bob has filled in his application to stay ten weeks next sUJ11t1er. Through the use of the Kia Kima savings Club, doubtless a number of boys will ·oe afforded the opportunity of spending a real vacation at Eaglets Nest. Who will be the next to sign on the dotted line?

Every troop should have an American flag; troop flags and patrol flags will also help. 3. Every scout should be in full uniform, but lack of a uniform should not keep any Scout out of the parade. Every scout is expected to be with his troop whether in uniform or not. ~. Troops are to be formed and ready to march at· 9:30 .A. M. Monday, November 11th. 5. The tallest scouts should be at the head of the troop with the other boys placed according to height. 6. Every Scout should keep his head up and eyes straight to the front when marching. To look at the back of the fellow's neck in front of you is a good way to keep your head up. 7. All hats should be worn with the brim parallel to the ground. 8.

HUMES HIGH SGOU'I' Cl.U:B: some of the scouts who attend Humes High School have formed a scout Club with Warren 1,edbetter, Troop 32, as president, Jruues Dallas of Troop 33 and Austin Halsey of Troop 34 as vice-presid~nts, and Robert Creagh of Troop 33 as secretary--treasurer. The Club expects to meet every Thursday at the schooli s club period, and the object of the club is to enable the boys to improve themselves in handicraft and to do work on merit badges. Mr. Paul Womack, manual training teacher at Humes High, is director of the elubis activities. The boys have laid out a splendid program for Thursday when they expect to begin work in soap carving, woodworking, and tincan craft. The Club has been divided into four patrols and they expect -to have a great deal of fun as well as do some spl.endid work during the forty-five minutes they meet each week. The club is in no sense a scout troop but i~ sir~ly using Scouting activities for its program. They have about twenty-five members at present but expect to have more as the organization is perfected. SCOUT ACTIVITIES; Troop 63 of Buffalo,. N. y., states as the objectives for the individual boy the following: BE A SCOUT aTTEND :E i!ERY MEETING TAKE P.i:illT IN ALL ACTIVITIES W:E.AR UNIFORMS PAY DUES :BRING IN C.AND ID ii.TES If every scout in Chickasaw council lived for one year according to these six simple rules, this would be one of the livest and most active councils in the south.
