This guide outlines the program planned for 1992 at Kia Kima. We are continuing to improve the program and facilities each year. The newest feature is Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima. Venture Base offers a series of program opportuniti es - canoeing, backpacking , climbing and rappelling- which use Kia Kima as a base and venture in to the surroundin g area . We hope you will encourage your Venture-age Scouts to participate in these activities. The merit badge offerings cover a wide range and include some new "rotational" merit badges. There will be several capital improvemen ts at Kia Kima this year. The biggest project is our new central hot shower facility for Camp Osage and the nearby handicappe daccessible campsite. Waterlines have been brought to the center of the reservation for Shooting Sports, the Tower and the Campfire Arena. Flagpoles and Assembly areas have been relocated in each camp. This guide is designed to help you and your patrol leaders' council plan your week at Kia Kima. It includes information on camp promotion and planning, program opportunitie s and scheduling. We will keep you up-to-date as opening date nears. Yours in Scouting, ~~ Ron Edmonds, Chairman Kia Kima Advisory Board Jim Russnogle, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council • Boy Scouts of America 171 S. Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 �II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities Troop Time This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. Personal Interest This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 �II I II •I • • • •I •I I I I ' I' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Troop _ _ Name Camp _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.)

Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • • • • • • Conducting daily campsite inspections Visiting program areas daily Promoting camp activities Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication. Interested leaders should fill out an application and turn it in to the Scout Service Center before attending camp. An application form is included in this Guide . Camp commissioners will be selected from the applications received and each selected leader will be notified. Camp fees will be waived for those leaders selected as camp commissioners. Program Areas Leaders are welcome in program areas at all times. Leaders are encouraged to share their skills and assist in areas where they are qualified. We do ask that you make arrangementsin advance with the director of the area, before you become involved in class sessions. Leaders who are interested in assisting with instruction in specific topics should complete an application to serve as a camp commissioner and indicate their interest. Twilight Activities Kia Kima offers a variety of evening "twilight" activities. Troops are encouraged to participate in those activities in which they are interested as a group. Kia Kima Campfires Campfires are a highlight of the Kia Kima week. Reservation campfires are held on Sunday and Friday nights. The Sunday night campfire is an introduction to Kia Kima traditions and the camp staff. The Friday night campfire is a recognition and fellowship event.

Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima This year, we are introducing a new program aimed at Venture-age Scouts (aged 13 and above) called Ozark Venture Base. This program includes two programs that use Kia Kima as base for a week-long trip by canoe or backpacking and two programs, Climbers Camp and the popular Project COPE which take place primarily on the Kia Kima property. Complete details can be found in the Program Planning section of this Guide. In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 �Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingl y indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 �Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program. There are many opportunities for every Scout to learn to swim or to improve his swimming ability and classification. Aquatic merit badges are among the most popular and useful of all Scout programs.

In applying for a campersh ip, a Scout and his family are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout law, A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. Scouts are encourag ed to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp. Campersh ips are considere d on a first-come , first-serv ed basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following condition s: 1. The unit leader secures and complete s the campersh ip applicati on. The applicatio n is forwarde d to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committe e to review. 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campersh ip . The maximum campersh ip for 1992 is $45.00. 3. Campersh ips will not be granted for provision al camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. 4. Campers hips are granted to individua l Scouts. If the Scout who receives the campersh ip is unable to attend, substituti ons will not be allowed unless a new campers hip applicati on is filed in the name of the substitut e Scout and approved by the Council Camping Committe e. 5. Campers hip applicatio ns must be complete ly filled out. Informati on on the campersh ip applicatio n will be held in confidenc e. 6. Candidat es for campersh ips must be registered Scouts in good standing with their troop. 7. All applicatio ns must be signed by a parent or guardian, troop leader and the district camping chairman or represent ative. It is not the intention to limit the number of Scouts eligible for campersh ips. On the contrary, we want to stretch the available campersh ip funds to cover as many needy Scouts as possible. Campersh ip applicatio ns must be submitted by May 1, 1992 to be considere d by the Council Camping Committe e. Unit leaders will be notified by May 16, 1992 of the action taken by the Council Camping Committe e in approvin g or disapprov ing the campersh ip applicatio n. �1 9 9 2 KIA KIMA SCOUT RESERVATION Chickasaw Council BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA I I Application for Employment be,,..,._,, ..................., Th11 •pphc•lMln ..11 I.Ml U.e •pphcanl will Ml - ""pl' Ille_,...,.. ill ,..;p1 Attach photograph here Personal Information Name --~------------------------ ~ Address - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I St.al.e City Zip Phone - - - - - - - - - - - - Social Security # - - - - - - - - - - Birth Date - - - - - - I I School - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Grade _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GPA _ _ _ __ -I Scouting Experience I I I I I I I I I School and Community Activitie• List achievements and leadership positions Unit District - - - - - Rank - - - - - - - - Y e a r s in Scouting _ _ __ Position Other leadership positions held - - - - - - - - - Camping Experience Years as Camper Years on Staff - - - Last Camp Staff Position ------------ If you a member of the Order of the Arrow, please circle membership status: Ordeal Brotherhood Vigil List lodge offices you have held - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Scoutmaster's Recommendation Thi" 11ect10n is required for applicant.a qe 18 and under.

In the event of an emergency, the leader of the activity has my permission to obtain medical treatment for this Scout at the nearest hospital or doctor, at my expense, to the extent not covered by insurance carried by Kia Kima Scout Reservation. I understand that Ozark Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. I believe that my son/ward is physically fit to participate in this program. He meets the requirements outlined on the other side of this form. Signed--------------Parent or Guardian Approved------------Unit leader Date----------- �Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking trips of shorter duration during the months before camp . The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima. All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by May 22, 1992 of your status in the program. The fee for Ozark Venture Base programs is $100 per Scout per week . A nonrefundable deposit of $30 must accompany the application by May 15. This deposit can be transferred to another Scout. The extra fee for Ozark Venture Base is necessary due to staffing and special food and equipment considerations. Ozark Venture Base applications must be signed by the Scout's parent or guardian and unit leader in the spaces provided. �I I I ~ I I I I I I I I I Kia Kima Scout Reservation Application to Serve as a Camp Commissioner (See infomuz.tion about camp commissioners in the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide) Name ---------- -------Address District - - - - - - - ---------------- ------- Telephone Zip _ _ _ __ City --------Troop _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _--------~ ________ Position - - - - - - - Previous positions held in S c o u t i n g - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ Scout training courses a t t e n d e d - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Merit badges or other Scout skills I am willing to teach at Kia Kima _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Years in Scouting _ __ Were you a Scout? _ __ Years attending Kia Kima - - - - - - - - - - - Highest rank earned - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week attending camp _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Camp Osage 0 Camp Cherokee 0 District Recommendation KKSR Action: 0 Accepted: Yes No 0 Area to serve: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _~ Accepted by: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Date: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ �I I I I I BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICE Use this form for Scouts and Adults under 40 attending Camp Cherokee and Camp Cherokee.

This guide outlines the program planned for 1992 at Kia Kima. We are continuing to improve the program and facilities each year. The newest feature is Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima. Venture Base offers a series of program opportunities - canoeing, backpacking, climbing and rappelling- which use Kia Kima as a base and venture in to the surrounding area . We hope you will encourage your Venture-age Scouts to participate in these activities. The merit badge offerings cover a wide range and include some new "rotational" merit badges. There will be several capital improvements at Kia Kima this year. The biggest project is our new central hot shower facility for Camp Osage and the nearby handicappedaccessible campsite. Waterlines have been brought to the center of the reservation for Shooting Sports, the Tower and the Campfire Arena. Flagpoles and Assembly areas have been relocated in each camp. This guide is designed to help you and your patrol leaders' council plan your week at Kia Kima. It includes information on camp promotion and planning, program opportunities and scheduling. We will keep you up-to-date as opening date nears. Yours in Scouting, ~~ Ron Edmonds, Chairman Kia Kima Advisory Board Jim Russnogle, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council • Boy Scouts of America 171 S. Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Troop Time Personal Interest Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 II I II • I • • • • I • I I I I ' I ' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Name Troop __ Camp _______ _ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.) Mail for campers should include the Scout's name, troop and camp (Osage or Cherokee) on the envelope. Outgoing mail may be placed in the mailbox at each trading post. Mail is collected at noon each day. Incoming mail arrives in the late afternoon and may be picked up by a leader or the Senior Patrol Leader at the trading post each evening. 8 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Telephone The camp telephone number is 501-257-4935 . Since this phone is only in service seasonally, the number is subject to change. The Scout Service Center in Memphis will always have the correct number. This phone rings in the camp business office and the camp director's cabin. If no one is available to take a call, a message may be left on the answering machine. The camp ranger's phone number is 501-257-3390. This phone is in the ranger's family residence and should not be used except for emergencies during the summer camp season. Campers are permitted to use the camp phone only with their leader's permission and with the leader present. Hours are limited since it is a business phone. Reconfirm Your Plans In order for the camp staff to make sure campsite is properly set-up, please complete the "Confirmation of Arrival Plans" included in this guide and call directly to Kia Kima at 501 -257-4935 before 4:00 pm on the Friday before your scheduled arrival at Kia Kima. You may give this information by phone or by fax (at the same number). As an alternative, you may deliver the form to the front desk of the Scout Service Center no later than noon that day and they will fax it on to Kia Kima. 9 • I I I I • I I • I • I I • • • I ' II Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide Troop Check-in and Check-out Check-in Troop check-in is scheduled from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm Sunday. Please plan your schedule accordingly. Troops arriving at camp between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm will have sufficient time to complete check-in and set up camp. Each troop will be met by a staff member upon arrival who will help you get settled and start your program . Early Arrivals The camp is closed and the staff off-duty noon Saturday to noon Sunday. No dining hall service is available during this time. Accordingly, early arrivals cannot be accommodated. Check-out Normal check-out time is 10:00 am Saturday, following a campsite inspection by your unit counselor and completion of check-out procedures. Health and Sa/ ety Health Lodge and Emergency Medical Arrangements A health lodge is available with a qualified first-aider on duty 24 hours a day. A physician will also be in camp each week. In addition, we have arrangements with a local physician and the nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital-Eastern Ozarks for emergency services. Accident insurance is provided for all Scouts and adults attending camp. This insurance does not cover sickness, injuries occurring before camp or chronic conditions. The camp's insurance policy pays the first $150 of covered expenses. Coverage of expenses in excess of $150 is coordinated with the Scout's family insurance coverage. Medical Examinations Each Scout and leader is required to have a medical form on file upon arriving at camp. Scouts and leaders under age 40 attending Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage use the Class 2 Personal Health and Medical Record (No. 4414A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last three years. Scouts and leaders participating in the Ozark Venture Base programs and all leaders age 40 and over use the Personal Health and Medical Record Form- Class 3 (No. 4412A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last 12 months. One copy of each form is included in this guide. Copies are also available at the Scout Service Center. 10 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Sanitation Latrine facilities are provided at each troop campsite . It is the responsibility of each troop to maintain the cleanliness of these facilities during their stay at Kia Kima. Toilet paper and cleaning supplies are available at Troop Issue. If maintenance problems develop with the equipment in your campsite, please contact your program director or the camp ranger. There is a designated location for trash and garbage at each camp. At Camp Cherokee, troops are issued garbage bags with the provisions for each meal. The responsibilities of the clean-up crew include taking the garbage bag to the designated central location after the meal. This will minimize any problems with odors or insects in the campsite. At Camp Osage, garbage bags are available through Troop Issue. Troops should deliver their trash to the central location as needed. A trash delivery should be made whenever the bag is full or the bag contains any significant amount of food waste (watermelon rinds, etc.) . There will not be a garbage pick-up run in the troop campsite. Each troop is responsible for delivering its own garbage to the central location. Shower facilities are provided in each troop campsite. In addition, both Camp Cherokee and Camp Osage have central hot shower facilities. The central facilities also include bathroom and shower facilities for leaders. There are separate female leader facilities at Camp Osage. Troops are encouraged to make sure these facilities are used properly and maintained in a clean manner. Your troop will be asked to assist in cleaning the central showers. Campsite Inspections There will be a daily campsite inspection for health and safety purposes . This inspection will be conducted by a camp commissioner. Your senior patrol leader will be advised of the results of the inspection at the daily Senior Patrol Leaders Council meeting. This inspection will be measured against health and safety standards and will not be a competition against other units. On Thursday, the program commissioner or program director will visit your campsite to review it for campsite improvements. This review will be considered in determining the Honor Troops and the Outstanding Troop of the Week. 11 II I • I I • I • • • • • I I I • I ~ ~ Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Staff Opportunities Kia Kima employs a large seasonal staff, including both youth and adult positions.

Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • Conducting daily campsite inspections • Visiting program areas daily • Promoting camp activities • Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled • Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director • Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication. Interested leaders should fill out an application and turn it in to the Scout Service Center before attending camp. An application form is included in this Guide . Camp commissioners will be selected from the applications received and each selected leader will be notified. Camp fees will be waived for those leaders selected as camp commissioners. Program Areas Leaders are welcome in program areas at all times. Leaders are encouraged to share their skills and assist in areas where they are qualified. We do ask that you make arrangementsin advance with the director of the area, before you become involved in class sessions. Leaders who are interested in assisting with instruction in specific topics should complete an application to serve as a camp commissioner and indicate their interest. Twilight Activities Kia Kima offers a variety of evening "twilight" activities. Troops are encouraged to participate in those activities in which they are interested as a group. Kia Kima Campfires Campfires are a highlight of the Kia Kima week. Reservation campfires are held on Sunday and Friday nights. The Sunday night campfire is an introduction to Kia Kima traditions and the camp staff. The Friday night campfire is a recognition and fellowship event. Troop participation is encouraged in the closing campfire. The program director 16 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde will provide more information at camp. Troops are encouraged to hold their own campfires other evenings during the week. We recommend that you invite other nearby troops and your favorite camp staff members to your campfire. Kia Kima Heritage Night Heritage Night is a special program which examines the heritage of the Kia Kima area, including Native Americans, settlers and the history of Kia Kima as a Scout camp. Vespers Vespers are held weekly at the Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the camp. The trip to the chapel is a highlight in many campers' weeks. We recommend that you come early and bring your camera. The view is breathtaking . In addition to vespers, a chaplain will be available throughout the week to handle any special needs. Canoe Trips One of the most popular program features at Kia Kima is the twilight canoe trip. Typically, troops put in at the Osage waterfront around 5:00 and are picked up at the nearby Slick Rock ford about three hours later. Picnic suppers are available from the dining hall. Advance arrangements are a must and Scouts and Leaders who go must be classified as swimmers. Other canoe trips (including overnighters) may be arranged. Other Activities Other evening activities, including intertroop sports competitions, will be scheduled each week. The Order of the Arrow at Kia Kima Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima in 1948 and has been an integral part of the program ever since. The lodge has completed many service projects at Kia Kima. This year, they have also taken the lead in the camp promotion effort. Without the Order of the Arrow, Kia Kima could not have made much of the progress it has made. Many Arrowmen serve on the camp staff. Several activities have been planned for Arrowmen at Kia Kima . Ordeal members of the Order who have met the qualifications may seal their membership in the Order by participating in the Brotherhood Ceremony. The Brotherhood Ceremony will be conducted each Thursday evening all summer. 17 I I I I I ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Following the Brotherhood Ceremony, all Arrowmen will be invited to an Order of the Arrow fellowship. Troops who have not yet had their Order of the Arrow election may do so at camp. An Order of the Arrow representative will be at the Leaders' Roundtable Sunday evening to explain the process and make arrangements. An Order of the Arrow call-out ceremony will be a part of the Friday night reservation campfire . The Order of the Arrow representative will explain the procedure for arranging for the call out at the Leaders Roundtable. Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima This year, we are introducing a new program aimed at Venture-age Scouts (aged 13 and above) called Ozark Venture Base. This program includes two programs that use Kia Kima as base for a week-long trip by canoe or backpacking and two programs, Climbers Camp and the popular Project COPE which take place primarily on the Kia Kima property. Complete details can be found in the Program Planning section of this Guide. In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingly indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program. There are many opportunities for every Scout to learn to swim or to improve his swimming ability and classification. Aquatic merit badges are among the most popular and useful of all Scout programs.

Much groundwork needs to be laid to ensure all of your Scouts have the opportunity for a week in summer camp. The first steps for the troop committee include: • Making the commitment to attend camp. • Securing camp leadership. • Selecting the date and reserving a campsite. When these steps have been completed it is time to promote the week of camp within your troop. Scouts and parents should be notified as early in the year as possible of the troop's plans. Including it in a calendar published at the beginning of the school year is one good idea. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, will provide each unit with a packet of camp promotion material for your use. It includes: • Camp Promotion Poster. • Sign-up Chart. • Ideas for Camp promotion. • Summer Camp Saving Plan. While summer camp is not expensive for a full week's program, the troop must plan for how it will be financed. There are several possibilities. Some troops ask Scouts and their parents to bear the cost directly. Others include the cost of summer camp in their annual troop budget and conduct fundraising projects (under BSA guidelines) to raise the needed funds. Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. The Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow has as its goal to visit every single troop in the Chickasaw Council to promote Kia Kima. With approximately 250 troops, this is a challenging goal indeed. This year, there is a district Order of the Arrow Councilman, who is responsible for coordinating camp promotion and unit election activities within each district. There is also an adviser, who is a member of the district camping committee. These two Arrowmen will be able to answer your questions and help resolve any problems you may have. You will be contacted by the Order of the Arrow to schedule a camp promotion visit and Order of the Arrow election. 33 I • II • II Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Parents' Night A Parents' Night program is an excellent way to promote summer camp in your troop. The program should be held early enough for families to make their plans around camp. Your district camping chairman and your district Order of the Arrow Councilman will be happy to help you plan your parents night program and to help you conduct it. An example agenda for a camp promotion meeting follows: Pre-opening Opening Welcome to Parents Song, Skit or Demonstration Introduction of Camp Promotion Team Kia Kima Scout Reservation Overview of Program Video Presentation Personal Experiences Discussion of troops plans for summer camp at Kia Kima Senior Patrol Leader Scouts Scoutmaster Scouts Scoutmaster or Senior Patrol Leader Promotion Team Members Troop Leaders Commitment of Scouts to attend camp Troop Treasurer by payment of $30 deposit Conduct Order of the Arrow Election OA Election Team (call outs can be arranged at Kia Kima) Scoutmaster's Minute Scoutmaster (suggested topic - camping aids advancement) Closing Ceremony Refreshments Senior Patrol Leader 34 KIA KIMA SCOUT RESERVATION Camp Cherokee - Weekly Schedule Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Reveille 6:45 Breakfast 7:00 Campsite Cleanup FlaR raisinR 8:45 AQUATICS: Rowing MB, Swimming MB, Lifesaving MB (BSA Lifeguard-Schedule with Aquatic Director) HANDICRAFT: Leatherwork MB, Woodcarving MB, Basketry MB, Pottery MB 9:00-9:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Rifle Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Pioneering MB, Orienteering MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB,Weather MB, Forestry MB AQUATICS: Canoeing MB (2 hours), Motorboating MB, Swimming MB HANDICRAFT: Space Exploration MB, Indian Lore MB 10:00-10:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Shotgun Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Camping MB, Emergency Preparedness MB NATURE: Soil & Water Conservation MB, Forestry MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB AQUATICS: Canoeing MB (Continued), Small Boat Sailing MB, Instructional Swim HANDICRAFT: Leatherwork MB, Woodcarving MB, Basketry MB, Pottery MB 11 :00-11:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Rifle Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Camping MB, First Aid MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB, Soil & Water Conservation MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB Lunch and cleanup AQUATICS: Swimming MB, Lifesaving MB, Instructional Swim* Check-in HANDICRAFT: New Scout Program 2:00-2:50 Go to site SHOOTING SPORTS: Free Shoot- Archery- Skeet- Rifle Medical recheck SCOUTCRAFT: Pioneering MB, Camping MB, Emergency Preparedness MB NATURE: Weather MB, Soil and Water Conservation MB, Forestry MB Camp tour Swim check AQUATICS: New Scout Program Draw equipment HANDICRAFT: Indian Lore MB, Space Exploration MB '.l:00-3:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Free Shoot- Archery- Skeet- Rifle SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Orienteering MB, First Aid MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB, Forestry MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB All program areas open for extra instruction or help. 4:00-4:50 AQUATICS: Free swim and free boating.

In applying for a campership, a Scout and his family are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout law, A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. Scouts are encouraged to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp . Camperships are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following conditions: 1. The unit leader secures and completes the campership application. The application is forwarded to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committee to review . 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campership. The maximum campership for 1992 is $45 .00 . 3. Camperships will not be granted for provisional camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. 4. Camperships are granted to individual Scouts. If the Scout who receives the campership is unable to attend, substitutions will not be allowed unless a new campership application is filed in the name of the substitute Scout and approved by the Council Camping Committee. 5. Campership applications must be completely filled out. Information on the campership application will be held in confidence. 6. Candidates for camperships must be registered Scouts in good standing with their troop. 7. All applications must be signed by a parent or guardian, troop leader and the district camping chairman or representative . It is not the intention to limit the number of Scouts eligible for camperships. On the contrary, we want to stretch the available campership funds to cover as many needy Scouts as possible. Campership applications must be submitted by May 1, 1992 to be considered by the Council Camping Committee. Unit leaders will be notified by May 16, 1992 of the action taken by the Council Camping Committee in approving or disapproving the campership application.

Signed--------------- Parent or Guardian Approved------------- Date----------- Unit leader Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking tri ps of shorter duration during the months before camp. The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima . All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form - Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by May 22, 1992 of your status in the program. The fee for Ozark Venture Base programs is $100 per Scout per week . A nonrefundable deposit of $30 must accompany the application by May 15. This deposit can be transferred to another Scout. The extra fee for Ozark Venture Base is necessary due to staffing and special food and equipment considerations. Ozark Venture Base applications must be signed by the Scout's parent or guardian and unit leader in the spaces provided.

Fall Ordeal to be huge That's right! The upcoming Fall Ordeal and Brotherhood is expected to be one of the largest in the history of the Chickasah Lodge, with nearly 150 candidates eligible to undergo the four tests of the Ordeal. This means your help is needed. We need your guidance and leadership to set the example for these new members. You can help out in many ways, but foremost among these is the elangomat program, in which you will lead a group of candidates through the Ordeal's tests by your example. The event is set for September 18-20 at Camp Currier near Eudora, Mississippi, and will provide an great opportunity for the lodge to provide invaluable service to the council's camp as it prepares for a season of heavy use by the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Not only that, the Ordeal will provide a chance for Ordeal members who have been Arrowmen for at least ten months to seal their membership in the Order through the Brotherhood ceremony. Finally, the Ordeal weekend will be the site of the annual lodge elections. Here, youth Arrowmen can help determine the future of the Chickasah Lodge by casting their ballots for the three lodge officers. Those interested in running for Lodge Chief, Lodge ViceChief, or Lodge Secretary-Treasurer should consult the information on Page 5. So, obviously the upcoming Fall Ordeal will be a monumental event for the Chickasah Lodge, and _11our help is needed to make this event-and the 1992-1993 lodge year-a roaring success. Sign up using the registration form on Page 4, and see you at Currier for a weekend of service, fellowship, and fun.

Make sure you're a part of it, whether by joining the lodge camp promotions and unit elections committee to help promote camp for next summer or by joining the Kia Kima staff. For staff applications, contact Scott Stephens at the council service center (327-4193). The 1992 Spring Ordeal and Brotherhood, held on the weekend of June 5-7 at Kia Kirna Scout Reservation, helped the lodge provide invaluable service in setting up the council's long-term summer camp near Hardy, Arkansas. Nearly 70 Scouts and Scouters became members of the lodge in the Ordeal, rendering cheerful service by setting up tents, cleaning latrines, clearing brush and a fire lane for the new Camp Osage central shower facility, and organizing the camp's health lodge. As well, nearly 20 Ordeal members sealed their membership in the Order through the Brotherhood Ceremony. Congratulatio ns go to Lodge Vice Chief Ken Kimble, who coordinated the weekend's events, and to all those members who helped make the Spring Ordeal a success. Thanks! The Chickas ah Thunderbird The success of Kia Kima 92 was due in large part to the worl< of its staff. Likewise, the Chickasah Lodye summer program was a major success because of the contributions of certain Arrowmen. For the second year in a row, all youth members of the lodge executive committee served on the Kia Kima staff: Lodge Chief Hunter Baile y, Lodge Vice Chief Ken Kimble, Lodge SecretaryTreasurer Andy Perry, and committee chairmen Steve Edwards , Jason Stewart , and Alan Wright. The lodge was able to complete unit elections for all troops needing them at camp thanks to the help of these Arrowmen, plus Andrew Bailey, Vince Perryman , Brad Stevens, Tony Bockhold , Patrtck Owen. Tom McGee. Peter Leonard. Michael Johnson. Michael Bland . Walter Hoehn, Trey Cole. Will Dotson, and others. The Brotherhood Ceremony was put on b y Stevens. Bland, Stewart. and Hoehn. while the hike was led by Wright. Perryman. and Stevens. The callout ceremony was a huge success thanks to the contributions of Matt Williams, Corey Crowder, and most of those named above. The Lodge Secretary-Tre asurer wishes to express his apprec iation to Michael Jennings, Will Dotson, Corey Crowder, and David Williams for their help in updating the lodge records. Thanks to all these staff members/ Arrowmen for their help in making Kia Kima 92 a huge success for the lodge and the Chickasaw Council.

Youth lodge members present will select officers for the positions of Lodge Chief, Lodge Vice Chief, and Lodge Secretary-Trea surer. Those interested in running for one of these positions should see the information on Pages 5-6. Any Arrowman ma y run for office provided he has completed the registration form on Page 6. In addition, the new Lodge Chief w ill select a chairman for each of the three lodge committees. Those interested in becoming chairman of the Activities & \?ervice, Ca mp Promotions& Unit Elections, o r Cer- emonies & Indian Affairs committees, should tell the new chief of their interest. The lodge will again be seeking qualified yo uth members to serve as District Cow1eilman. Each district will have a councilman to coordinate the camp promotions/ unit elections efforts in his district. Finally, the three standing committees will seek member involvement at the upcoming Ordeal. So, the re are obv iously many ways for you to exercise your leadership skills in the Chickasah Lodge in the coming year. A good first step to getting involved in the lodge is coming to the Fall Ordeal next month at Cam p C urrier (see next page). ,J Do the only right thing: Beco me a Brotherhood mem ber this fall! What does it all me an? I went to do hard labor a t Kia Kima (or Currier), and all I got was this stinking sash and pocket flap! Surely doubts and questions this severe don't run thrcugh your mind as you try to sleep each night, but it makes sense if you are an Ordeal member to have questions about the Order; it's natural to want to know more.about this m ysterious and sometimes confusing organization. The best way to get this information, that is, to learn and grow as an Arrowman is to seal your membership in the O rder as a Brotherhood member. Becoming a brother is not that difficult, and you'll benefit from the increased knowledge and inspiration the ceremony will bring yo u. Not only that, the Chickasah Lodge will benefit from s tronger membership with every new Brotherhood member. Becoming a Brotherhood member is relativel y easy. And once again this fall, the lodge is offering an opportunity to complete this key step at the fall Ordeal work weekend a t Currier. Here are the requirements. As a preliminary, you must have been an Ordeal member for at ten months. In addition, you must meet five challenges before you enter the Circle of the Brotherhood: 1. Memorize the signs of Arrow membership. Memorize the Obligation of the O rder, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card or in yo ur handbook ). Also, memorize the OA Official Song, the Admonition, the sign of Ordeal membership, and the Arrow handclasp. 2. Advance in your understanding of the Or- ~ deal. Gain a thorough understanding of the Ord eal through which you have passed. Become familiar with The Customs and Traditions of the Ordeal given on pages 5456 of thr O rder of the Arrow Handbook (1991 ed.). 3. Serve your unit. Retain your registration in Scouting. During your 10-month period, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your own troop or post. 4. Plan for setvice in your lodge. Retain your registration in the lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brothe rhood membe rship involves a pledge of service to the lodge. Develop a con crete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge. 5. Review your progress. When you earnestly feel that you have met the four challenges above, write a letter to the lodge secretary. In this le tter: • Explain what you think the Obligation means. • Describe h ow you have been fulfilling this Obligation in your troop or post and in your daily life, and how you ha ve used your understanding of the Ordeal to aid in this service. • Describe your specific plans for giving service in the lodge program. Bring this letter to the Brotherhood with you. Ordeal membership is a time of learning and trial, when you learn about the Order and its basic principles. Becoming a Brotherhood member lets you seal your me mbership and rededicate yourself to these principles. So don't delay; become a Brother today.

Fall Ordeal to be huge That's right! The upcoming Fall Ordeal and Brotherhood is expected to be one of the largest in the history of the Chickasah Lodge, with nearly 150 candidates eligible to undergo the four tests of the Ordeal. This means your help is needed. We need your guidance and leadership to set the example for these new members. You can help out in many ways, but foremost among these is the elangomat program, in which you will lead a group of candidates through the Ordeal's tests by your example. The event is set for September 18-20 at Camp Currier near Eudora, Mississippi, and will provide an great opportunity for the lodge to provide invaluable service to the council's camp as it prepares for a season of heavy use by the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Not only that, the Ordeal will provide a chance for Ordeal members who have been Arrowmen for at least ten months to seal their membership in the Order through the Brotherhood ceremony. Finally, the Ordeal weekend will be the site of the annual lodge elections. Here, youth Arrowmen can help determine the future of the Chickasah Lodge by casting their ballots for the three lodge officers. Those interested in running for Lodge Chief, Lodge ViceChief, or Lodge Secretary-Treasurer should consult the information on Page 5. So, obviously the upcoming Fall Ordeal will be a monumental event for the Chickasah Lodge, and _11our help is needed to make this event-and the 1992-1993 lodge year-a roaring success.

It calls for an individual with an unusual awareness of the possibilities within each situation. The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction reserved for those Arrowmen who-by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest-have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position or office to one or more of the following: their lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting, or their Scout camp. Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation. The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good standing in a regularly chartered lodge is eligible for recommendation to the national Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor provided that at the time of his recommendation he has been a Brotherhood member for a t least two years. Because the Order of the Arrow is primarily an organization for youth, preference will be given to those who became members of the Order as Scouts rather than to those who were inducted as adult volunteer or professional Scouters.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Council's founding, we have tried to highlight some of the people that have made Scouting in this area. These arc only Scouting owes its brief highlights. success lo the efforts of many, many volunteer and professional leaders who have been committed to the Scout movement and been willing to devote their time, and many cases their money to make it successful - people like long-time Scoutmaster and council president Alvan Tate, Gordon Morris who served for 30 years as Scout Executive, Robert "Buddy" Irwin, who served continuously as Scoutmaster of Troop 97 for over 50 years to name just a few. Council Chickasaw Founded In 1916 The February 22, 1916 edition of The Commercial Appeal reported that "with 76 of the most prominent men in Memphis as members, Chickasaw Council, Boy Scouts of America was organized last night." Officers elected at the meeting, which was held on sixth floor of the Businessmen's Club, included Bolton Smith as president and Charles Ninninger as commissioner. A finance campaign was completed, which raised $6,200 in cash and $300 in pledges. This put the council in position to begin operations. The Council also announced its plans to apply for a charter from the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The Chickasaw Council was the second south of the Mason-Dixon line to employ Edward Everett of a Scout Executive. Newark, N.J. arrived on February 23 to serve as the first Scout Executive of the Chickasaw Council. Ed Everett, a young graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, served as the first camp director of Kia Kima, while his wife ran the girls vacation camp a mile below Kia Kima on the South Fork. The list of original members included such Memphis notables as E.H. Crump, P.M. Canale, Bishop Thomas F. Gaitor, Millon S. Binswangcr, Abe Scharff, J.P. Norfleet and many others. Bolton Smith Memphis Scouting Pioneer More than any other early Scout leader, Bolton Smith was responsible for the organization and early development of Scouting in the Mid-South. He was an organizer and the first president of the Chickasaw Council. He served on the Executive Board of the National Council from 1918 until his death in 1935. He served as vice president of the National Council from 1922 until his death. He served as program chairman for the 1931 meeting of the National Council which was He is the only held in Memphis. Chickasaw Council Scoute,r ever to be awarded the Silver Buffalo, the National Council's highest award. Bolton Smith �1\011011 .S111i1h's grcalesl legacy lo the Boy Scouts of Arncrica was the work of the cnntrnittcc on inter-racial activities.

As a result, Memphis was one of the first cities in the Unilcd S1ales to actively promote Scouting for black young men. the Stouls for sellin1-! war honds during World War I. lie has CSJH'cially clear ntcmorics of the firs! season of carnping at Kia Kima in 1916. Chickasaw Council Scouts contributed significantly to World War I, principally by selling war bonds. On.e troop, Troop 22, sold more bonds than any other troop in the ASA and was honored with a U.S. flag by President Wilson. The first Eagle Seoul in Memphis was Russell Wilkinson, ln1cr of Wilkinson & In 1916, Smith purchased 206 acres of land near !lardy, Arkansas and donated it to the Chickasaw Council. This property was the original Kamp Kia Kirna, used for 48 years until Ilic land was exchanged for the nearby present site of Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The Ueglnnlngs • The f<'lrst Troops There were several Scout troops operating in Memphis prior to the time the Chickasaw Council was formed. Among these were Troop I, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., and Troop 2, sponsored by the Tennessee State Militia. Joe Nohsey was an early day Scout in Troop 3. The first Scoutmaster of Troop 3 was Robert M McRae, Sr. (the father of Judge Robert M. McRae, Jr.). McRae served only briefly as Scoutmaster, but was considered a good organi1.er and organi1.cd several other troops as well as a sort of unpaid Scout executive, before the Council was chartered. Joe recalls vividly his Scouting days. Soon after the troop was organized, the group camped for a week in the middle of the racetrack at the fairgrounds. He recalls Seoul Rallies in Overton Park, camping in the Piney Woods and winning a medal from ~-...1111,.. Early Day !'holograph or Troop 25 The oldest conlinuously operating troop in the Chickasaw Counci I is believed to be Troop 25, chartered lo Temple Israel. An Early Day Scouting Adventure Troop 22 was formed when Troop I split into two troops. "Old Troop 22" became one of the most famous Roy Seoul Troops in the United S talcs. In 1917, Charley Wailes was the troop wireless "bug." He made a habit of sitting late into the wee hours in search of new stations. During the early days of the World War I, Charley sat up late one night �when he heard a strange whispe r hu1n faintly across his set. It was a cipher, bul pure Greek to Charley , though he sat over it all nigh!. The strang e calls kepi rambli ng in [rom time 10 time, and they were as weird as ever. No one had to tell Charle y ii was a Germa n spy clickin g away. 1-ie rushed to his Scoutm asler, iv1.tv1. (Mindy ) Rosenb ush with the story. "Well, what can we do about it except to w am the authori ties ?" Rosenb ush wanted to know. "We can do lots," was Charle y's answer and he began to do it. He was sure that the station was in Memph is for it drowne d out all the others. Charle y had a "statio n-find er" and he began to use it. Armed with a Scout ax and a primiti ve set of wireles s receive rs, he ramble d about Memph is. He spent one whole night in East End Park while he search ed for the strange station , but the task seemed hopele ss. The one cold night he nailed the station . Again, he sought Rosenb ush. "I've got it, Chief ! " he cried. Its near 500 Vance and its operati ng right now. The Depart ment of Justice was called in and raided the house. One of the most powerf ul sets of the Germa n espiona ge system was found in the allic. Charley had outgue ssed the agents of both Germa ny and the United States. The Nation al Counc il Comes to Memp his The 1931 meetin g of the Nation al Counci l of the Boy Scouts of Americ a was held in Memp his. May 5-6, 1931. The event, which was billed as "Scout ing's Comin g of Age Celebr ation" in honor of the twenty first annive rsary of the BSA, brough t many Scouti ng lumina ries to Memp his.

J \ �( During the fifties, the program for older Scouts, Explorer Scouts (later just Explorers) was evolving. There had been an early program called Sea Scouting. Later, there was Air Scouting. Air Scouting, Sea Scouting and Explorer Scouting all came under the heading of Memphis investment banker and first president of the Chickasaw Council purchased 205 acres of land near Hardy, Arkansas and donated it to the council for use as a camp. This camp was known as Kan1p Kia Kima and was located a few miles from the present site of Kia Kima Seoul Senior Scout prograrris. Reservation. \Vhile these programs grew slowly, the BSA continued to address the needs of older youth. Ultimately these programs were combined into Exploring (although Sea Exploring retains its own identity through a unique uniform and advancement program. By the I 970's, Exploring was coeducational and growing. ~ ~-' I Scouting faced some tough times and adverse publicity in the Seventies, but by 1980, the BSA had begun a back to basics trend. We had the ninth edition of the Official Boy Scout Handbook, authored by a genuine Scouting pioneer in William (Green Bar Bill) Hillcourt. The election of Ronald Reagan focused attention on traditional values and Scouting once again was very popular in many areas, including Memphis. The l 980's brought solid membership growth, as well as greatly improved finances. Kia Kima Scout Reservation in the foothills of the Ozarks Kia Kima Scout Reservation is almost as old as the Chickasaw Council. In 1916, Bolton Smith, prominent From the very beginning, Kia Kima was a unique experience. Approximately 125 miles from Memphis, most Scouts rode the train. The train stopped at Hoxie and if you wanted, you might get off and grab a hot tamale from a vendor at the station. Upon arrival at Hardy, the Scouts were met by staff members, who loaded the trunks on wagons while the Scouts hiked the half mile or so to the Spring River. There was no bridge to Kia Kiina, so the Scouts were ferried across in boats by staff members. Joe Nohsey, who camped at Kia Kiina the very first summer, recently recalled that every morning, the Scouts would run down to the river stark naked for a quick dip in the South Fork River before breakfast. He also recalls Scouts working on the first cabins at camp that summer. The camp experience in those early days was quite different from what modern day Scouts see. Campers stayed in cabins, called lodges. They say that it was the custom for campers to paint or carve their names in the cabins for posterity. The cabins are still there on the old camp property and occasionally someone visits it and mentions the now-famous names they saw. Kia Kima, like most Boy Scout camps of the day, was originally operated as a "mass camp." Scouts did not come with a troop, but were assigned to a lodge, with a staff member as the counselor. In some years, the Council invited Scoutmasters to spend a week in camp at no cost. Few did for many reasons, mostly because the customs �of providing paid vacation were not what they are today. A typical day in camp was nol too differenl from loday. Reveille al 7:00, followed by breakfast at 7:30. After breakfas1 came lodge inspection and an hour and a half of Scouiing inscruc1ion, foiiowed by a morning swim. Afternoons fealured a rest and writing period, games, stun1s and hikes and an afternoon swim. Each evening included games and a campfire, followed by Taps al 9:30. In 1937, the council hegan a summer camp program at Camp Currier, which was cheaper and did not require the train fare. Kia Kima was closed during the war years beginning in 1940. The Camp was reopened in 1947. The highest honor available at Kia Kima was to be elected as a Council Seoul. Scouts were elected who best exemplified the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law. Council Scouts were led to a secret campfire, deep in the woods near camp and given an fodian name. lnl948, Chickasah Lodge of the Order of 1he Arrow was founded at Kia Kima and replaced the Council Scouls for honor campers. Chickasah Lodge has continued to play a big part in Kia Kima to this day. In the early 1960'1 a major development was planned near Hardy called Cherokee Village. Arkansas developer John Cooper headed the project and was interested in the land on which Kia Kima s!ood. He offered a much larger tract of land a few miles away on the South Fork in exchange and prnmised to construct buildings, roads and a lake. Camp Osage, a dining hall-style camp opened in 1964 and Camp Cherokee, a patrol-cooki ng camp, opened in 1965. Troops could chose their own preferred method of ealing. Cooper Lake al Camp Cherokee was named for John Cooper. A plaque near the front door to the administralio n building also commemorale s the contribulions of John Cooper to Kia Kima Scout Reservation. Kia Kima has been constantly improved through the years as the council has conducted capital campaigns. Among the more recent additions is the Golightly Chapel, high atop a hill. The view is brealhlaking and inspiring to the Scouts and Scouters who journey their each week for Vespers or at other times to meditate. Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow conslructed a large reservation campfire ring in 1989. Kia Kim• offers a varied program, including swimming and lifesaving. sailing, canoeing rowing and kayaking, as well as Scoulcrafl, Pioneering, nature and shooling sports. One of the most popullli parts of the camp is the COPE course for older Scouts. COPE slands fo, Challenging Ou1door Personal Encountei and is a team confidence building experience that lasts all week. COPE is a "ropes" course 1hat eventually takes participanls high above the Arkansas hillside where ii is located. Camp Currier Provides Weekend Camping for 65 years Camp Currier, located west of Eudora, Mississippi has served much of the Chickasaw Council's weekend camping needs since it was acquired in 1925. Mrs. Elizabeth Currier donated the down payment for Camp Currier in memory of her husband Charles C. Currier, for whom the camp is named. Mrs. Currier who lived in Geneva, Switzerland the rest of her life, continued supporting the camp with annual contributions and paid to build the dam, �gravel the roads and build the original mess hall and swimming pool. Currier was conceived as a weekend and "event" campsite, much the same as it is used today. Much of the early day camping was in large areas. Well-dev eloped separate troop sites as we know them today were a much later innovation . Much of this work was done in 1947 as part of a major developme nt plan that included constructio n of several buildings and the developme nt of eight distinct troop sites, with a troop lodge, wash house, tent sites and fire circle. Currier was designed as weekend camping and major event location. Each year, Currier logged many thousands of Scout camper nights. It was also the site of the annual Council jamboree, later called a "camporee ." In the days when such events were held on a Council basis, it was not unusual for 1,000 Scouts, plus leaders and staff to attend. In the early years, these events were fiercely competitiv e. In the middle Thirties, they took on the format we know today, measurem ent against standards - if every troop performed well, everyone could earn a blue ribbon. It is interesting to note that there was little emphasis on patrols in the early days. While the term was used, it was not really until the Thirties, after the Patrol Leader's Handbook by Bill Hillcourt was published, that the patrol method was really emphasized in the United States.Scou ting. Currier has always been immensel y popular. The growth of the Council, together with the Camp's popularity led to an expansion of the facility in the early J980's. Even today, the land added in the most recent acquisition is usually referred to as the "New Property." Currier as it now stands is large enough to handle three to four district camporees, and maybe have some room left for troop camps. It is bustling with activity almost every weekend of the year, except perhaps during the hottest of the summer. It is the site of numerous district and council training events, including Boy Scout Leader Wood Badge advanced training now being held on a biannual basis. A Look to the Future 1991 finds the Chickasaw Council in good condition. The Council serves almost 20,000 young people, with nearly 5,000 leaders, making it the largest volunteer organizatio n in the Mid-South . A large percentag e of our youth and adult membershi p represents ethnic minorities. President Marvin Bruce set the goal in 1990 of increasin g the visibility of Scouting in the communit y and, as the result of the public rclations effort, Scouting is receiving a great deal of attention from the media.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Council's founding, we have tried to highlight some of the people that have made Scouting in this area. These arc only brief highlights. Scouting owes its success lo the efforts of many, many volunteer and professional leaders who have been committed to the Scout movement and been willing to devote their time, and many cases their money to make it successful - people like long-time Scoutmaster and council president Alvan Tate, Gordon Morris who served for 30 years as Scout Executive, Robert "Buddy" Irwin, who served continuously as Scoutmaster of Troop 97 for over 50 years - to name just a few. Chickasaw Council Founded In 1916 The February 22, 1916 edition of The Commercial Appeal reported that "with 76 of the most prominent men in Memphis as members, Chickasaw Council, Boy Scouts of America was organized last night." Officers elected at the meeting, which was held on sixth floor of the Businessmen's Club, included Bolton Smith as president and Charles Ninninger as commissioner. A finance campaign was completed, which raised $6,200 in cash and $300 in pledges. This put the council in position to begin operations. The Council also announced its plans to apply for a charter from the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The Chickasaw Council was the second south of the Mason-Dixon line to employ a Scout Executive. Edward Everett of Newark, N.J. arrived on February 23 to serve as the first Scout Executive of the Chickasaw Council. Ed Everett, a young graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, served as the first camp director of Kia Kima, while his wife ran the girls vacation camp a mile below Kia Kima on the South Fork. The list of original members included such Memphis notables as E.H. Crump, P.M. Canale, Bishop Thomas F. Gaitor, Millon S. Binswangcr, Abe Scharff, J.P. Norfleet and many others. Bolton Smith Memphis Scouting Pioneer More than any other early Scout leader, Bolton Smith was responsible for the organization and early development of Scouting in the Mid-South. He was an organizer and the first president of the Chickasaw Council. He served on the Executive Board of the National Council from 1918 until his death in 1935. He served as vice president of the National Council from 1922 until his death. He served as program chairman for the 1931 meeting of the National Council which was held in Memphis. He is the only Chickasaw Council Scoute,r ever to be awarded the Silver Buffalo, the National Council's highest award. Bolton Smith 1\011011 .S111i1h's grcalesl legacy lo the Boy Scouts of Arncrica was the work of the cnntrnittcc on inter-racial activities. Jlc promolcd inlcr-racial Se<nlling vigorously, an idea 1ha1 was hardly popular in those early days. lie served for many years as 1hc chairman of lhc nalional commillcc on inlcr-racial ac1ivi1ics and supported Scouling in the black communi1y of Memphis with his words and his pockclbook. As a result, Memphis was one of the first cities in the Unilcd S1ales to actively promote Scouting for black young men. In 1916, Smith purchased 206 acres of land near !lardy, Arkansas and donated it to the Chickasaw Council. This property was the original Kamp Kia Kirna, used for 48 years until Ilic land was exchanged for the nearby present site of Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The Ueglnnlngs • The f<'lrst Troops There were several Scout troops operating in Memphis prior to the time the Chickasaw Council was formed. Among these were Troop I, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., and Troop 2, sponsored by the Tennessee State Militia. Joe Nohsey was an early day Scout in Troop 3. The first Scoutmaster of Troop 3 was Robert M McRae, Sr. (the father of Judge Robert M. McRae, Jr.). McRae served only briefly as Scoutmaster, but was considered a good organi1.er and organi1.cd several other troops as well as a sort of unpaid Scout executive, before the Council was chartered. Joe recalls vividly his Scouting days. Soon after the troop was organized, the group camped for a week in the middle of the racetrack at the fairgrounds. He recalls Seoul Rallies in Overton Park, camping in the Piney Woods and winning a medal from the Stouls for sellin1-! war honds during World War I. lie has CSJH'cially clear ntcmorics of the firs! season of carnping at Kia Kima in 1916. Chickasaw Council Scouts contributed significantly to World War I, principally by selling war bonds. On.e troop, Troop 22, sold more bonds than any other troop in the ASA and was honored with a U.S. flag by President Wilson. The first Eagle Seoul in Memphis was Russell Wilkinson, ln1cr of Wilkinson & ~-...1111,.. Early Day !'holograph or Troop 25 The oldest conlinuously operating troop in the Chickasaw Counci I is believed to be Troop 25, chartered lo Temple Israel. An Early Day Scouting Adventure Troop 22 was formed when Troop I split into two troops. "Old Troop 22" became one of the most famous Roy Seoul Troops in the United S talcs. In 1917, Charley Wailes was the troop wireless "bug." He made a habit of sitting late into the wee hours in search of new stations. During the early days of the World War I, Charley sat up late one night when he heard a strange whisper hu1n faintly across his set. It was a cipher, bul pure Greek to Charley, though he sat over it all nigh!. The strange calls kepi rambling in [rom time 10 time, and they were as weird as ever. No one had to tell Charley ii was a German spy clicking away. 1-ie rushed to his Scoutmasler, iv1.tv1. (Mindy) Rosenbush with the story. "Well, what can we do about it except to w am the authorities ?" Rosenbush wanted to know. "We can do lots," was Charley's answer and he began to do it. He was sure that the station was in Memphis for it drowned out all the others. Charley had a "station-finder" and he began to use it. Armed with a Scout ax and a primitive set of wireless receivers, he rambled about Memphis. He spent one whole night in East End Park while he searched for the strange station, but the task seemed hopeless. The one cold night he nailed the station. Again, he sought Rosenbush. "I've got it, Chief ! " he cried. Its near 500 Vance and its operating right now. The Department of Justice was called in and raided the house. One of the most powerful sets of the German espionage system was found in the allic. Charley had outguessed the agents of both Germany and the United States. The National Council Comes to Memphis The 1931 meeting of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America was held in Memphis. May 5-6, 1931. The event, which was billed as "Scouting's Coming of Age Celebration" in honor of the twentyfirst anniversary of the BSA, brought many Scouting luminaries to Memphis. Among those attending were Walter W. Head, national president, Mortimer L. .Schiff, New York mullimillionaire, national vice president and international commissioner and Daniel Caner Beard, patriarch of Scouting in America and National Scout Commissioner, James E. West, Chief Scout Executive and Colin II. Livingstone, firsl national president of the f3SA. Lord Han1pton, chief con1rnissioncr of the Boy Scouts Association of Great Britain was a special guest and represented Lord Baden-Powell, who was traveling in Australia. "Uncle" Dan lleard Scouting Through the Years World War II was another difficult time for Scouting. Many Scoutmasters and other leaders were called into active service in the military. The Scouts again were asked to participate in the national war effort, including planting victory gardens, collecting metal, etc. Though the war years were certainly challenging, Scouting saw its greatest growth during the years following the war and following the "Raby Boom" generation. It would not see such membership growth again until the Raby Roomers children began having large numbers of children of Scout age in the 1980's. During this period, Cub Scouting, which was only officially launched in 1930, saw tremendous growth and quickly surpassed Boy Scouting as the largest program phase. The first Cub Scout pack in Memphis was Pack One at ldlewild Presbyterian Church, which is still operating today. J \ ) ) ( During the fifties, the program for older Scouts, Explorer Scouts (later just Explorers) was evolving. There had been an early program called Sea Scouting. Later, there was Air Scouting.
