Bill Morris Alvan Tate MORRIS AND TATE HONORED BY SOUTHEAST REGION A most unusual distinction was bestowed on the Chickasaw Council and two of its Council Scouters when William N. Morris, Jr. and Alvan F. Tate received the Silver Antelope Award at the first annual meeting of the newly formed Southeast Region, on November 3, at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Atlanta. The Antelope, highest award and Regional honor given to Scouters, was presented to Scouters Morris and Tate for their outstanding service to Scouting on a regional level. Both men served in many capacities in Region Five, one of the former 12 Scout regions. The 12 regions were recently realigned to 6 regions. Both of these outstanding Scouters have been elected to the Executive Committee of the new Southeast Region that encompasses 12 states. In addition, Morris is serving as Area Chairman of Manpower and Tate as Area Camping Chairman. It is most unusual for two Scouters from one council to receive the Silver Antelope Award the same year and all Chickasaw CQuncil Scouters are proud of - and salute - these two great Scouters!

According to Council Camping Chairman J. C. Ray, th~ two sites will probably be located across the lake. Troops camping in these sites will follow. the same program as Camp Cherokee. They will use the Jambore e style of cooking and they will also use the lake at Camp Cheroke e. According to Ray, the troops using the new sites might have to share shower and latrine facilities for next summer , due tc the time factor in having these sites set up and ready for summer camp operatio n. However, this should not present a major problem , and details can be worked out concerning this arrangem ent with the troop leadership. Troops wishing to reserve these new sites or sites not yet reserved at Kamp Kia Kima may do so by selecting a site and making a ten dollar reservation deposit at the Scout Service · Center, 171 So. Hollywood. EXPLORING-ON THE MOVE! Exploring in the Chickasaw Council is, most certainly, on the move. The program is as exciting and dynamic as the young adults being served. Exploring is a program which is in tune with· the times. It meets the needs, desires and concerns of today's youth by involving them in professional and technological fields. Exploring has taken on many new facets. Emphasis is O!l career explorat ion. Posts have become co-ed and Explorers ar~ given greater opportun ities to learn to lead, along with iricreased responsibilities. Through the efforts of the Memphis Rotary Club, many new posts have been formed in Memphis.

Traditionally the holiday season is a time when most of us pause to think of, and be with, our relatives and friends. At this time "love thy neighbor" seems to have a more real meaning than at any other time of the year. How wonderful it would be if a bit of this holiday spirit would stay with everyone throughout the coming year . . . to expand and grow to include not only our relatives and friends, but everyone with whom we come in contact. Our council officers, professional and office staffs extend thanks to you for your dedicated efforts on behalf of the boys in our council area. May God bless you, and stay with you and your family. S,;u_/'/f~ "7<£4/~ COUNCIL PRES IDENT SCOUT EXECUTIVE g~~ COUNCI L COMMISSIONER Bill Morris Alvan Tate MORRIS AND TATE HONORED BY SOUTHEAST REGION A most unusual distinction was bestowed on the Chickasaw Council and two of its Council Scouters when William N. Morris, Jr. and Alvan F. Tate received the Silver Antelope Award at the first annual meeting of the newly formed Southeast Region, on November 3, at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Atlanta. The Antelope, highest award and Regional honor given to Scouters, was presented to Scouters Morris and Tate for their outstanding service to Scouting on a regional level. Both men served in many capacities in Region Five, one of the former 12 Scout regions. The 12 regions were recently realigned to 6 regions. Both of these outstanding Scouters have been elected to the Executive Committee of the new Southeast Region that encompasses 12 states. In addition, Morris is serving as Area Chairman of Manpower and Tate as Area Camping Chairman. It is most unusual for two Scouters from one council to receive the Silver Antelope Award the same year and all Chickasaw CQuncil Scouters are proud of - and salute - these two great Scouters!

According to Council Camping Chairman J. C. Ray, th~ two sites will probably be located across the lake. Troops camping in these sites will follow. the same program as Camp Cherokee. They will use the Jamboree style of cooking and they will also use the lake at Camp Cherokee. According to Ray, the troops using the new sites might have to share shower and latrine facilities for next summer, due tc the time factor in having these sites set up and ready for summer camp operation. However, this should not present a major problem, and details can be worked out concerning this arrangement with the troop leadership. Troops wishing to reserve these new sites or sites not yet reserved at Kamp Kia Kima may do so by selecting a site and making a ten dollar reservation deposit at the Scout Service · Center, 171 So.

Our district is stnvmg for a 1,000 boy membetship by December 31, 1972. This is the first time that the Crittenden District has ever been within reach of having 1,000 boys registered. However, to make this become a reality it is going to take the c.ombined efforts of 1 all of our Scout units. To reach this goal we will need a total of 6 additional boys from each Cub Pack, Scout Troop, and Explorer Post before Christmas. So give a boy a break; get him into Scouting' DISTRICT LEADERSIDP CHANGES The Crittenden District would like to express its sincerest thanks to R. E. "Skip" Wallin, 1972 District Chairman, and to John Ed Farris, 1972 District Commissioner. They have put in many hours of effort to insure a wholesome program for the Scouts and future Scouts of our district and we are extremely grateful to them. Our District leaders for 1973 will be Lindsey Fairley, District Chairman, and Milton Foley, District Commissioner. Lindsey is the West Memphis Municipal Judge and Milton is the Director of East Arkansas Savings and Loan. There are no better men anywhere to fill the shoes of district chairman and district commissioner and we are very fortunate to have their leadership to make the Crittenden District the very best that Scouting has to offer.

Vol. 4 No. 2 Sustaining Membership Kicks Off This .Month "Boys' Life" Subscription Rate Beginning with unit charters that expire in April 1968, the membershi p ~·ate for "Boys Life" will increase from $1.50 to $2 a year (from 12- 1/2 cents to 16-2/3 cents a month). The regular nonScout rate will increase to $4 a year -or 40 cents a copy. March and earlier unit charter expirations have until March 30 to reregistel' in the council office at the current subscriptio n rate. New or additional subscriptions may be entered at current rates until March 30. If your unit is not already 100 percent, we urge you to take advantage of the current rates; and, if your unit charter expires in March, you will want to be sure you reregister in time. The last increase in the "Ec;•s' Life" subscriptio n rate was made in July, 1950. In the more than 17 years since that time "Boys' Life" has become one of the major magazines of America and has growi:i in size, quality, and program content. "Boys' Life" has become one of the essential ingredients of pack, troop and post programs for influencin g character developmen t, citizenship training, and physical and mental fitness. During the period, productio n and operating costs have increased to a point where they no longer can be met by the current subscriptio n rate. The revised subscriptio n rate will make it possible to meet current and anticipated production increases, to meet substantial postal increases scheduled for 1968 and beyond, and to add a substantial number of editorial pages and other improvements of interest and value to boy readers and unit proi-r ams. ••scouting Is Action " The Scout Show brochure was mailed to the Cubmasters, Scoutmaste rs, and Explorer Advisors last week. Jim Ewart, General Chairman of the show, encourages every unit to call a special meeting to select the subject and name the unit ticket sa1esmanag er immediately so you can begin preparation for our big show ''Scouting Is Action" sched- uled for April S-6, 1968. The show will be held ar the Mid-SouchFalrgrounds· Goal Of $105,000 Is Set Chief Scout Executive To Spe akA t Annual Recognition Dinner Alden G. Barber, new Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, will be the featured speaker at the . annual recognition dinner of the Chickasaw Council. Harold Steinkamp, Chairman of the annual dinner committee has announced · that the dinner for all Scourers in the council will be held on Thursday, March 7, at Ellis Auditorium . The price has been kept to a bare minimum ($2.00 per plate) in order to insure good attendance. Other features on the pro- . gram will include the r1resentation of ten Silver Beaver awards to outstar ding Chickasaw Scouters and the receipt of the coveted National Breakthrou gh award by council officers. Promitiona l material s will be mailed to all units in a few days and all Scouters should begin making plans to attend. The council is fortunate to have Mr. Barber as the annual dinner speaker as he will reveal plans that are being developed for the next few years for the national organtzatlo n. Organizatio n is now underway on the greatest sustaining membershi p program in the history of Chickasaw Council Chairman Sam P. Ryland announced Council, that a goal of $105,000 has been set. Last year a to~iµ of $75,000 was pledged which shows what a big job is in front of us. The campaign organizatio n has three divisions. Thomas H. Todd heads the Leadership Gifts Division. Paul Borda leads the ·official Family division. William Quinn and William Cowan are co-chairme n of the Districts Division. Sustaining membershi p or "Friends of Scouting" enrollment is held every year to fill the gap between what Shelby United Neighbors allocates and what the Council's needs are. The 1968 budget is $230,000 while our S.U.N. allocation is $125,000. In 1965, a long range plan was drawn up by the Chickasaw Council covering the years 1965-70. The gi-owth in the Chickasaw Council has been so great that we surpassed our 1969 goals in 1967. Thus, we start 1968 working on our 1970 goals so you can see "Suddenly its 1970." A council's primary job is to organize new units and to service the existing ones. In order to do this, more professional staff is needed to guide our outstanding volunteer leaders.

The meeting will start at 7:30 P.M. at Highland Heights Presbyterian Church, 3300 Summer Avenue. Mr. Young would like to request that each Scoutmaster and Explorer Advisor check the qualification on the members of his unit. If they have members who are qualified and they would personally recommend to serve on the Camp Staff to pleas e talk to them about Camp Staff encouraging them to attend this most important training session. With all the unit leaders help we will have another great Camp Staff in 1968.

It's a lot of details, but if your son is a 14 to 17 year old Scout or Explorer, your worries are over. He can go West to the Philmont Scout Ranch for a total of $160. If you have no son, maybe a boy in your Troop or Post would like to go. At Philmont (in Northern New Mexico) boys pan for gold, ride horses, and hike over mountain trails. Our chartered buses are not confined to a specific route nor do they have fixed stops as a train. We can take advantage of out of way places, such as the Taos Indian Reservation in New Mexico, without using other kinds of transportation. Adult volunteer leadership is selected from capable Scouters. The Chickasaw Council Contigent will leave Memphis on July 6, 1968 by chartered bus and will return on July 21, 1968. Remember: The total cost is $160.00. You Ca!) _make a reservation at the Scout Service Center - 171 S. Hollywood. Sixty dollars will reserve a spot for your son or a member of your unit. The balance of the fee will be due March 1, 1968 - $SO,OO and $S0.00 due on June l, 1968. If you want your son or .a member of your unit to GO WEST let him make a reservation and leave the details to us. Words often are Inadequate to express the sentiment we feel at the death of a friend. No finer tribute can be paid than to encourage some boy to Uve the llfe of a Scout and thus perpetuate the high principle you admired In your friend.

(One sample headline - "SCOUTS TOUT LONGIES AND LASSIES") Unfortunately, that article never did specify that the study was by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain, and concernEld only with British Scouting. As the first two paragraphs put it: "London, June 9 (AP) - A comn1ittea cf Boy Scout leaders urged the organization today to scrap its short pants, drop the word 'boy' from its name and take an interest in girls. The committee's report, delivered after two and a half years of study, recom .. mended a revolutionary streamlining of the worldwide organization founded in Britain by Lord BadenPowell in 1908." First of all, it should be pointed out that this study was conducted by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain for and about British Scouting and concerns only British Scouting. There are about 90 such · autonomous Scout associations around the world, building understanding and friendship but not interfering with andtfer' s operation. The Boy Scouts of America knew about the research oeing done by the British and commends the associarural areas of the council in 1965 and for growth iri service to boys in the innercity area. Tom McGuire, council vice president, received the awards at separate meetings held by the Rural Scouting Committee and the Urban Relationships Committee. The special plaques of recognition were presented to Pre side n t Borda at the executive board meeting. At the Rural Scouting meeting Mr. McGuire was featured on the program to tell the group about the highly successful school night · held in 1965. Those attending the national meeting were greatly impressed with very inspirational and informative program carried out for the 3200 delegates attending .. Representing Chickasaw Council were: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Borda, Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Huskey and Mr. Tom McGuire.

The campaign organization had six divisions. Mercer West led the Advance Gifts Division. The Corporate Division was headed by Paul Borda, President ofthe council. Frank Fisher was chairman of the Special Gifts Division. Sam P. Ryland served as c hairman of the District Division. Bo yd Pickens headed up the Offic ial Family Division. In the Major Gifts Division, Clyde Lambert and William Wofford were Co-Chairmen. The District Division headed by Sam Ryland has been the highlight oi thJ.s campaign having raised $174,208 to date. Robert The recruit of the month program started January 1, 1966. The idea is to promote year round recruiting. When a unit registers a new boy or boys in a given month, it will then be designated as a 1 star unit.

Since the study deals solely with British society, culture and semantics, we are in no position to comment on specific proposals .,reported, but can point out related familiar elements in American Scouting. In 1959, for example, after thorough research, the_ new Exploring program for high school age boys was launched.

(One sample headline - "SCOUTS TOUT LONGIES AND LASSIES") Unfortunately, that article never did specify that the study was by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain, and concernEld only with British Scouting. As the first two paragraphs put it: "London, June 9 (AP) A comn1ittea cf Boy Scout leaders urged the organization today to scrap its short pants, drop the word 'boy' from its name and take an interest in girls. The committee's report, delivered after two and a half years of study, recom.. mended a revolutionary streamlining of the worldwide organization founded in Britain by Lord BadenPowell in 1908." First of all, it should be pointed out that this study was conducted by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain for and about British Scouting and concerns only British Scouting. There are about 90 such · autonomous Scout associations around the world, building understanding and friendship but not interfering with andtfer' s operation. The Boy Scouts of America knew about the research oeing done by the British and commends the associa- rural areas of the council in 1965 and for growth iri service to boys in the innercity area. Tom McGuire, council vice president, received the awards at separate meetings held by the Rural Scouting Committee and the Urban Relationships Committee. The special plaques of recognition were presented to Pre side n t Borda at the executive board meeting. At the Rural Scouting meeting Mr. McGuire was featured on the program to tell the group about the highly successful school night · held in 1965. Those attending the national meeting were greatly impressed with very inspirational and informative program carried out for the 3200 delegates attending.. Representing Chickasaw Council were: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Borda, Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Huskey and Mr. Tom McGuire.

(One sample headline - "SCOUTS TOUT LONGIES AND LASSIES") Unfortunately, that article never did specify that the study was by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain, and concernEld only with British Scouting. As the first two paragraphs put it: "London, June 9 (AP) - A comn1ittea cf Boy Scout leaders urged the organization today to scrap its short pants, drop the word 'boy' from its name and take an interest in girls. The committee's report, delivered after two and a half years of study, recom .. mended a revolutionary streamlining of the worldwide organization founded in Britain by Lord BadenPowell in 1908." First of all, it should be pointed out that this study was conducted by The Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain for and about British Scouting and concerns only British Scouting. There are about 90 such · autonomous Scout associations around the world, building understanding and friendship but not interfering with andtfer' s operation. The Boy Scouts of America knew about the research oeing done by the British and commends the associarural areas of the council in 1965 and for growth iri service to boys in the innercity area. Tom McGuire, council vice president, received the awards at separate meetings held by the Rural Scouting Committee and the Urban Relationships Committee. The special plaques of recognition were presented to Pre side n t Borda at the executive board meeting. At the Rural Scouting meeting Mr. McGuire was featured on the program to tell the group about the highly successful school night · held in 1965. Those attending the national meeting were greatly impressed with very inspirational and informative program carried out for the 3200 delegates attending .. Representing Chickasaw Council were: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Borda, Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Huskey and Mr. Tom McGuire.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many hours a week a boy has free? One or two hours is spent in Troop Meetings, but he can get so much more out of Scouting if he is supplied with our full program. Boys' Life is designed to appeal to all Scoutings' ideals in the boy's mind and heart. Actually the magazine supplements his other Scouting experiences. For this reason alone it is important that he receive it on a regular basis. Include Boys' Life in your plans for this year's budget. You won't regret it.

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. SWEATER: After the rally last Friday night a black sweater was turned in to ·the scout Executive, and is now nt Headquarters. owner will please call for same. 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. Fine i;rorkJ scoutmaster Joe Austin says his troop is going to tci.ke more badges then aey troop in town during 1929. �-2TINDER: Troops o.ro roquosted to carry nll tinder for firG building, both by flint and steel a.nd firo by friction, in a tin con ond to plnco it back in the cnn : nftor the ti11dor is used.

This is the highest honor which can be uon at Kia Kima, and these boys are very proud of their election into the Council Ring. A boy who h~s the opportunity to go to camp is indeed fortunate, and every boy in Chickasaw Council should take advantage of the cha.nee to go to one of the best Scout camps in America. *** IDEALS: 11 As you think, you travel; as you love, you attract---you are today whore your thoughts have brought you; you will be tonorrow where your thoughts take you--you cannot escape the result of your thoughts, but you can endure and bear, accept and be glad---you will realize the vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, nust love.

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.

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.

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.

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. SWEATER: After the rally last Friday night a black sweater was turned in to ·the scout Executive, and is now nt Headquarters. owner will please call for same. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Troop 40, scoutmaster Joe Austin, won the cup for the best apPearance. The Judges were Comnissioner Ross .A. Mathews, Senator K· D. McKellar', congressman Hubert Fisher, Mrs. E. J. Mccormack, and Mr. Lloyd T· :Binford. Next year we hope to have an oven larger turnout of scouts, as this is one day on which every scout should be in uniform and in the parade. SCOur DI.ARIES: The new 1929 :Boy scout Diary is now ready for distribution, It has sixteen more pages than the old diary and much now material, such as "Weather SignaJ.siJ. "Conventional Map Making", 11 Signals11 , and pages and notes of hikes ai1d troop meetings, etc. It is COIJ'!Pletely indexed and is a fine thing for every scout to have. Troops which desire copies please advise Headquarters so that we can order them prooptly. SIR RO:BERT RADEN POWELL: some troops have never responded as to the gift of two cents from each scout who desires to give it for Sir Robert :Baden Powell. Please write Headquarters if you have not already contributed, and let us know whether or not your troop expects to do its share towards this gift. It is not corr;pulsory for anyone to give, but every scout should feel it a privilege to have the opportw1ity of honoring the CHIEF SCOUT OF THE WORLD, who was so largely responsible for the organization of scouting. 11EVERY SCOUT SHOULD HA.VE .A.

Letts help it. The Fourth Bionnial Conference of Scout Executives at Hot Springs is over, bn '.; ! t certainly was a huge success and I feol that the good that c3.Ine out of it will last a long time, and that many of the 'id13as that were advanced at Hot Springs'·ca.n be put in force in Memph is and will help us wi 'l:ih our problems a great deal. I a m ju:s't busting to tell you all tho good things I learned at Hot Springs, and I hope some of the things will be just whnt you want to know, so please triy to come to our first fall Round Ta ble Meeting, Monday night, O'ctober 11 at 6 :30 at Calvary Pa rish House and I promise you a good short peppy meeting not to last past eight o'clock. )) 1 Bob 0 1 Bfien, Super·in<iendent of Rocrerrtion , will b e with us at tho Round Table Meeting to · sub'mit . f 0·r your approval, a Hallow-e 1 en Progrem'.in which the scouts will play a big part. Bob ' s ideas aro always good mld I fool sure you will enjoy his ten minute talk. t ··' l. As you have probably be on to ld, noxt week is Fire Prevention Week andc the Memphis Safety Council h as asked us to cooperate with them in Memphis. They want at least threo o.r four boys rfr om eve'ry troop to'J report ot Scout Headquarters Saturday .. morning, { 9 A. M.) October 9, to help them put up posters. Will you please s ee if you can have youi· tr oop represented by three or four boys at that time. We havo" a nmvcomer in our ranks t o:lay, not with a brand new number but wi th' a 'brand new Scoutmaster; Troop 43 at St. Albans Mission in South Mor:1phia. They had 50 b.)ys present at thoir first get togother mooting. Il0v . 'Alf rod L.

'/ I THE COUNCIL FIRE Number 5 October 14, ~926 . :Bob O':Brien has asked thet we cooperate with him in putting over a big Hallowe'en Program on Saturday night, October 30. It is his ~lan to have all the children of Memphis assemble at the various par~ in their neighborhood and they will find prepared for them a program of activities for the night. Included in this will be a huge bonfire, which will certainly appeal to all boys of scout age. It is Bob's idea that the scouts should play an important part in this celebration; in fact he has honored us by asking t he scouts to lead in these activitie~ and ~e are assigning certain troops to the park nearest them. It is planned th8t the Scout~asters of various t roops, r.ho are to meet at the same park, get together and map ~~t a program of activities for that nif4it. I will be glad to cooperate 1'li th you in arranging these programs in any way I can. The children are to meet at their respective parks at 6 :30 P. M. and will have a parade all over the neighborhood, lead by the scouts. My idea is that the fire will be lighted by a torch either by Fire by Friction, or by Flint and Steel. There will be a roped off area for the scouts to use for their programs. The Park Director, who will have charge of the park nearest you, will comnuni cate with you and arrange to assist you in any way possible. This is our chance to ~et before the public and show them what the scouts are doing, so let's try and turn out 100%. More de.tailed plans of this celebration will be sent you later. The following are the parks and the troop& that will go to each park : Market Square !ickf ord Park Gutr.tie Park Forres t Park Beauregard Park Overton Park Peabody Park Litty Park Bellebue Gas to~ Troops Troop TrooJ>s Troops Troops Troops Troops Troop Troops Troops l-~-34-46 33 2 5-12-38-40 4- 5-25-26-49-54 9-13-29-32-36 7-10-19-20-45-47-27 11- 1 Eudora' 14-24-51-30 3- 16-43-22-4:8 This being Fire Prevention Week, won't you suggest to your troop that they do some Community 11 Go od Turn", such as cleaning up their own yards or the yards of some one who have no children or who are unable to work about their own property. Th.is is also a chance for a great service and I feel we should take ad.vantage of it. W"hile at Hot Springs, l picked up a litt le Book on Indian Sign Language. I have talked t o several of the troops about this and they have shown a great deal of interest i n it. If you think your troop would be interested in hearing about the Indian Sign Language, I will be only too glad to come out and talk to them any night that would best suit your convenience. T.he Court of Honor will meet Saturday night, October 23 at 7:30 P.M. at the :Builders Exchange. Scouts who passe~ Merit Badges at c~ should go before the Gou.rt of Honor here for final approval of Merit Badges. Please call this to their attention.

There seems to be s~me misunderstanding as to the kind of clothes the boys should wear at the Hallowe'en Celebration. It is pref erred that the ;couts wear their uniforms so that they may be distinguished from the rest of t he partic ipants and RO we may ~et some recognition for the work done a t tnat t ime. Troop 38 has been reorg anized and has a brand new Scoutmastert Mr. Fred Lenz and I feel sure that they will go ahead now with a full win te r program. Fred will appre c i a te any assistance tha t you can give him. Troop 19 is leaving . this afternoon for Eudora t1 work on their cabin. This cabi n . i s rapidly nearing completion a nd Scoutmaster .Roger Stanley invites you all d own to see it. I hope you saw our news item in the Commercial Appeal last week.

A good many of the troops have been tal~ing advantage of. the splendid weather we h 0ve been having and . can ping overnight at Eudora. If you have not been down, let me urge th1:- t y.ou take your troop down and show ther:i what a wonderful place Eud.ora is. 'rroops 12, 19 and 38 spent a very en joyable Saturday and Sunday at Eudora last week and several troops have manifested their intention of going down this week-end.

Let me urge th8t you h ave your Scribe bring the troop news to Scout Hea C. querters every Friday afternoon or Sa .turday morning, so that we may use all the space the Co nunercial .Appeal has so kindly consented to give us on Sunday morning, and here let me pause and express my appreciation to the Commercial Appeal for their kindness. · I hope that the Hallowe 1 en Celebratio~ will be a huge success and I feel sure that we have g iven Fr. 0 1 Brien all the cooperation he asked for.

We · heve be en invited to parad.e in the American Le gion ParaC.e on t hat day as a unit. and :C hope that every troop with their Scout.masters will be in the parad e lOO)t .

The judging of the troops will be on the f ollowing basis: 40 Foints for 1001;6 attendance . 50 Points for appearance . 10 Points for the Scoutmaster marching in the parade. You will be notified where the parade wil1 fo rm and what place in the parade the scout organization will take, by telephone and also by the nev!S-papers. The 50 points allowed for appearance will be based on scouts in uniform, condition of uniform and the way the boys conduct themselves in the p a rade. The troop will score 10 points for having their Sco~tmaster with theQ , regardless whether he is in uniform or not. I will be glad to discuss this matter over with you at the Rou...rid Table meeting.

This is not an arbitrary rule but is one which was discussed at the last Scout Leaders Round Table and was agreed upon • ..
