WELCOME TO THE 1980 SCOUT SHOW .....
Welcome to the fun and excitement of Scouting in action.
In booth after booth you will find Cubs, Scouts, and Explorer Scouts
demonstrating skills that "build the better life."
I hope that each person visiting the Show today will be impressed with the
positive values of Scouting: character building, citizenship training, and personal
fitness.
Thanks to the 1980 Scout Committee for their help and support:

fitness.

There are many benefits for

an effective ticket sales program,
development of additional unit
resources and public awareness
of the great job Scouting does.
But the best benefit of all is for
the boy, for the Cub, Scout or
Explorer that experiences the
fellowship of Scouting with
Scouts from throughout the

Along the Chickasaw Trail
Since moving to Memphis 10
months ago, I have met many,
many dedicated Scouters who
indicated a need for communication through me and have .
suggested I have a corner in your

professional Scouting background has been one of working
with and through volunteers and
committees.
The committees of district
and council volunteers are
serving you with renewed
Scouting spirit "Mr. Cubmaster,
Den Leader, Scoutmaster, and

been addressing many areas that
will make Scouting more

With membership on the

the Membership Committee
under the leadership of W. W.
Herenton has turned its thoughts
and efforts toward this question.
How do we keep boys in Scouting
after we recruit them?
This is a question that can
only be answered through the
cooperation of committees. First
leaders must be trained - thus
districts must organize strong
training teams. This year the
Membership Committee has
requested that training teams
move in and train new leaders
within one week after being
projected that 159 schools
through out the council will be
opened this September and
. October for this special program.

Did You Know?
Foundations For Growth
However, a large percentage say
the reason they had not joined is
they had not been asked to join
by their friends. One-third of
those who have not joined say
that there is no Scout unit
nearby. This is especially true
among Explorer age youth where
43tJ11 said there was no Scout unit
nearby.
Which reasons best explain
why you are not in Scouting?
Too busy with other activities
Never asked to join by friends
There is no nearby Scout unit
Friends don't belong
Scouting is not any fun
It takes too much time

The Advancement Program
NOTICE BOYS'
LIFE INCREASE
The Tail That Wagged-the Dog...
The advancement program
has been among Scouting's
methods since the very
beginning. There's more to that
statement than meets the eye.
The key word here is
"method." In spite of what people
have said, advancement is not
one of the purposes of Scouting,
let alone the one, overriding
purpose. In the past ten years,
things seem to have gotten a way
from that, and only now seem to
be coming back in line.
There's a fine thread that
runs through the Scouting
program, right from the moment
an eight-year old lad promises to
.do his best, until an Explorer
turns twenty-one and prepares to
take a place in the adult world. In
the course of the development of
character, citizenship, and
fitness, a member is encouraged
to learn a variety of skills and to
apply his best effort to achieving
proficiency. To help encourage
members in this, a system of
recognition was designed. This
system is called, "advancement."
Like so many things in the
movement, this sounds great in
theory. What actually happens is
frequently less than inspiring.
Before we get into the heart
of the matter, understand that
packs and troops have every
right to be proud of good
advancement records. Eagle
Scout ceremonies are still times
for pride and happiness.
But another side exists,
which can frequently take the
gloss off these awards, and
·· worse, which defeats· the entire
purpose of the advancement
program.
The reason for the advancement program, as we've said, is
to recognize members for
achievement, and to encourage
them to do more. But somehow,
the cart seems to be put in front of
the horse. Advancement seems to
be its own reason for existence.
Extii'e pack and troop programs
are set up to catch only to
advancement. And the worst of
all - there are members bein~
hustled through the ranks so fast
that they do shoddy work, and
get little or no benefit from the
program.
See if these sound familiar:
•A troop is so anxious to advance
that they resort to holding merit
badge classes at troop meetings.
There is not troop program, and
the members have no chance to
exert leadership.
• A Cub Scout is under such
pressure to advance that he and
his parents fudge on achievements. His awards don't mean
much to him, and the other Cub
Scouts feel that he has cheated.
• A Scout is pushed to make
Eagle, which he does by the time
he's 13. In the course of his Scout
work, he's so force fed that he
becomes proficient in nothing.
He also fails to get practice in
leadership skills. He has the
badge, but has gained no benefit
from the program.
A Scout is supposed to work
at his own speed, and to make
progress at his own rate. This is
the only way for him to get
anything out of it. You don't go
camping because you need it to
advance - you go because you
enjoy it, and because that's one of
the things that Scouts do. If a
Scout does that and becomes
proficient, then he will ndvance.
A Cub Scout works on
achievements - again, because
that's what Cub Scouts do
(they've always seemed to enjoy
it), and because it gives him a
chance to do something
constructive with his family that's one of the purposes of Cub
Scouting.
~--....Train
Does your district need more
effective trainers? Do you want
to add new techniques to your
training sessions to make them
more interesting? Do you want to
be the very best trainer possible?
If the answers are yes, then
you'll be happy to know that
Chickasaw Council is planning
to conduct a council-wide Train
The Trainer for all three
programs (Cubs, Scouts, and
Exploring) on Saturday,
September 20 at Trinity
Methodist Church. This training
There are actually times
when you can pin an Eagle badge
on a boy, and be doing him a
serious disservice. If the Scout
has done less than his best, then
pinning a badge on him will only
reinforce in his mind, the fact
that he can be recognized for a
slipshod job. That's a dangerous
precedent.
There's a variety of reasons
why this happens. Frequently
parents are the source of the
trouble, especially with Cub
Scouts. Their desire to see their
son recognized overrides the true
purposes of the movement.
Problem is, it's always the son
who suffers.
Sometimes it's the unit
leadership - Good volunteers
with an honest desire to excel.
This is more the norm in Scout
troops. Besides the fact that the
individual Scout gains nothing,
very frequently in the course of
committee-arranged merit badge
classes and adult coordinated
meetings, the whole troop will
miss half the program - the
opportunity to practice
leadership, to help plan the
program, or to make contact with
members of the community to get
counsel on a merit badge. This
kind of spoon feeding tends to
produce hollow ranks and paper
Eagles, and it short-cfrcuits
Scouting's emphasis on selfreliance.
Remember the thread - Do
Your HeHt, Ht: PrtipArod, to ht•
phyHicnlly Htrong nnd mtmtnlly
awake. Scouting is fun - that's
why-- we do . it. That .is, it's fun
unless we take the classroom
technique and learn skills just to
get them signed off. Do it the way
it should be done - learn the
skills as part of the program, and
advance as a result. That way,
everybody wins.
the Trainer
will be done on an invitation only
basis; so if you'd like to attend
contact your district executive to
have your name put on the
mailing list.
Registration will begin at
8:30, the sessions will go on until
late afternoon. So bring a sack
lunch and be prepared to share
lots of good Scout fellowship.
There will be a $1.0Q fee to
cover the materials and morning
break refreshments.

Subscription rates for Boys'
Life will increase September 1,
. 1980, from $3.60 to $4.20 per

registered members. ,
What Are Exploring
"First Nighters"
What is an Exploring First
NiR"hter and why is it important?
A "First Nighter" is when
prospective post members are
invited to an open house of the
respective Post's sponsors place
of business. This meeting is
designed to inform them about
the post, the potential program
and Exploring. Furthermore the
young adults can meet the post's
udult lt•11<fon1 und tour or learn
ahout I.he chartered orguniza
ti on.
, The "First Nighter?' is
probably the first time the young
adults have heard about
Exploring or visited the
chartered organization. Their
first impression is important, so
careful attention should be made
in planning an exciting first
nighter.
Normally First Nighters are
thought to relate to special
interest Exploring, but the same
principle applies to High
Adventure and general interest
post. The First Nighter needs to
be an exciting event for the
prospective members.
The First Nighter is the time
when the chartered organizations sell itself to the prospective
members. Regardless of what
type of post is conducting the
First Nighter there should be a
brief "hands on" experience.
Show them what you are all
about and let them know this is
only a small part of what is to
come when they join the post.
The First Nighter is meant to
be informative, exciting and a
time to enroll the prospective
A
members into the post.
successful First Nighter has
three of the nhovc mentioned
purposes: It is when you sell the
prospective· members your
Exploring program and thus
begin another year of Exploring
in your organization.

but I am sure that they had a great Scouting experience wherever they
went.
I would like to thank all of the Packs that made our Cub Day Camp
such a success. We had 91 Cubs to attend.
A special "thanks" to those volunteers that put so much of their
time and hard work into seeing that Day Camp was so much fun and
successful. Many months went into the planning and preparation and
it really paid off.
Thanks from all of us in the Big E.

SCHOOL NIGHT
All of our efforts over the next two months are aimed at one thing,
to get the story of Scouting to more boys and parents and make school
night more productive. Make sure that every boy has the chance
to experience the program and is not deprived because a parent just did
not know the story.
We know to recruit more parents.

NORTHEAST 1980 FALL CUB SCOUT TRAINING
The Excellent Northeast District will offer two different options
for Cub Scout Leaders training this fall .
For your convenience, Sherry Campbell, our Cub Scout Training
Chairman, has arranged an all day training course Satl!rday, Sept. 27
at Raleigh Presbyterian Church from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This will be
a bring your own lunch affair. The other option is evening sessions on
October 20 (Monday) and October 23 (Thursday) at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church from 6:30 to 10:00 each evening.
It is important that all new leaders and members of committees
attend these sessions. We need trained leadership. It is only fair to the
young men in the program to have a trained leader. We stress that
everyone make an effort to attend.
Once again make plans to get our new leadership trained on
Saturday, Sept. 27, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. or Monday, Oct. 20 and
Thursday, Oct. 23 - 6:30 to lO:OOp.m. being held at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church, 3385 Austin Peay Hwy., next to McDonald's.
NASHOBA (CONTINUED)
The leadership development
philosophy of the B.S.A. is to
provide adult leaders with
fundamental information about
the aims and purposes ·of the
movement, as well as the
specifics about their particular
roles in Scouting.
A trained leader is one who is
knowledgeable and therefore,
confident in the role being
performed. Such a leader exudes
confidence which is quickly
sensed by the Cub Scout, Scout,
or Explorer and becomes a
positive influence on that person.
Then, the leader who has a
positive influence on others
enjoys the feeling of self·
satisfaction that comes from

There are many benefits for

development of additional unit

But the best benefit of all is for
the boy, for the Cub, Scout or
Explorer that experiences the
fellowship of Scouting with
Scouts from throughout the

fellowship, this brotherhood, is
the foundation of the better life

Scouts of America - May 1980 -

of Fleishman-Hillard, Inc.
Reasons for Not Being in a
Scouting Program - Young
people and their parents were
asked why they were not in a
.Scouting prog-ram if, in fact. they
were not. The most common
response was that they were too
busy with other activities.
Too busy with other activities
Never asked to join by friends
There is no nearby Scout unit
Friends don't belong
Scouting is not any fun
It takes too much time
The uniform is not liked
Scouting does not have any
thing that is new for me.
However, a large percentage say
the reason they had not joined is
they had not been asked to join
by their friends. One-third of
those who have not joined say
that there is no Scout unit
nearby. This is especially true
among Explorer age youth where
43tJ11 said there was no Scout unit
nearby.

Along the Chickasaw Trail
Since moving to Memphis 10
months ago, I have met many,
many dedicated Scouters who
indicated a need for communication
through me and have .
suggested I have a corner in your
Smoke Signals. My entire
professional Scouting background
has been one of working
with and through volunteers and
committees.
The committees of district
and council volunteers are
serving you with renewed
Scouting spirit "Mr. Cubmaster,
Den Leader, Scoutmaster, and
Explorer Advisor!" ,They have
been addressing many areas that
will make Scouting more
meaningful for more youth.
President R. E. Cannon and I
set our objectives for 1980 and
presented them to Scouters in
January of this year as follows:
1. Adequately fund the
Scounting program in 1980.
2. Monitor and continue
finance controls with bookkeeping
and a new SME syste.rn ~ ·
3. To grow in membership
and units so that Scouting will
reach more youth in 1980.
4. Have a council committee
structure so that districts and
units can have input into
program.
5. Camp Facility Committee
and Executive Board to make
decisions on the needs of council
camp facilities.
6. Prepare for a capital
campaign in 1981 or 1982 for
camp facilities and improvement.

With membership on the

the Membership Committee
under the leadership of W. W.
Herenton has turned its thoughts
and efforts toward this question.
How do we keep boys in Scouting
after we recruit them?
This is a question that can
only be answered through the
cooperation of committees. First
leaders must be trained - thus
districts must organize strong
training teams. This year the
Membership Committee has
requested that training teams
move in and train new leaders
within one week after being
Did You Know?
The Camping Committee
recently sold $15,300 worth of
timber at Kia Kima and placed
this money in a separate account
for some of the camp inprovements
we must have before the
capital campaign .
Finance Committee, SME
Volunteers, Treasurer and Audit
Chai~man have completed our
SME program on time, installed
a new operational bookkeeping
system and Moni SME program.
Our Asset Disposition Committee
has disposed of $8,000 of
unneeded properties and applied
it to our operating deficit.
Scout Supplies
A committee recently met
with our Scout Distributor -
Goldsmith's Department Store.
Communications are now
flowing freely with the head
buyer, merchandising manager
and the Chickasaw Council. All

The Advancement Program
The Tail That Wagged-the Dog ...
The advancement program
has been among Scouting's
methods since the very
beginning. There's more to that
statement than meets the eye.
The key word here is
"method." In spite of what people
have said, advancement is not
one of the purposes of Scouting,
let alone the one, overriding
purpose. In the past ten years,
things seem to have gotten a way
from that, and only now seem to
be coming back in line.
There's a fine thread that
runs through the Scouting
program, right from the moment
an eight-year old lad promises to
.do his best, until an Explorer
turns twenty-one and prepares to
take a place in the adult world. In
the course of the development of
character, citizenship, and
fitness, a member is encouraged
to learn a variety of skills and to
apply his best effort to achieving
proficiency. To help encourage
members in this, a system of
recognition was designed. This
system is called, "advancement."
Like so many things in the
movement, this sounds great in
theory. What actually happens is
frequently less than inspiring.
Before we get into the heart
of the matter, understand that
packs and troops have every
right to be proud of good
advancement records. Eagle
Scout ceremonies are still times
for pride and happiness.
But another side exists,
which can frequently take the
gloss off these awards, and
· worse, which defeats· the entire
purpose of the advancement
program.
The reason for the advancement
program, as we've said, is
to recognize members for
achievement, and to encourage
them to do more. But somehow,
the cart seems to be put in front of
the horse. Advancement seems to
be its own reason for existence.
Extii'e pack and troop programs
are set up to catch only to
advancement. And the worst of
all - there are members bein~
hustled through the ranks so fast
that they do shoddy work, and
get little or no benefit from the
program.
See if these sound familiar:
•A troop is so anxious to advance
that they resort to holding merit
badge classes at troop meetings.
There is not troop program, and
the members have no chance to
exert leadership.
• A Cub Scout is under such
pressure to advance that he and
his parents fudge on achievements.
His awards don't mean
much to him, and the other Cub
Scouts feel that he has cheated.
• A Scout is pushed to make
Eagle, which he does by the time
he's 13. In the course of his Scout
work, he's so force fed that he
becomes proficient in nothing.
He also fails to get practice in
leadership skills. He has the
badge, but has gained no benefit
from the program.
A Scout is supposed to work
at his own speed, and to make
progress at his own rate. This is
the only way for him to get
anything out of it. You don't go
camping because you need it to
advance - you go because you
enjoy it, and because that's one of
the things that Scouts do. If a
Scout does that and becomes
proficient, then he will ndvance.
A Cub Scout works on
achievements - again, because
that's what Cub Scouts do
(they've always seemed to enjoy
it), and because it gives him a
chance to do something
constructive with his family -
that's one of the purposes of Cub
Scouting.
There are actually times
when you can pin an Eagle badge
on a boy, and be doing him a
serious disservice. If the Scout
has done less than his best, then
pinning a badge on him will only
reinforce in his mind, the fact
that he can be recognized for a
slipshod job. That's a dangerous
precedent.
There's a variety of reasons
why this happens. Frequently
parents are the source of the
trouble, especially with Cub
Scouts. Their desire to see their
son recognized overrides the true
purposes of the movement.
Problem is, it's always the son
who suffers.
Sometimes it's the unit
leadership - Good volunteers
with an honest desire to excel.
This is more the norm in Scout
troops. Besides the fact that the
individual Scout gains nothing,
very frequently in the course of
committee-arranged merit badge
classes and adult coordinated
meetings, the whole troop will
miss half the program - the
opportunity to practice
leadership, to help plan the
program, or to make contact with
members of the community to get
counsel on a merit badge. This
kind of spoon feeding tends to
produce hollow ranks and paper
Eagles, and it short-cfrcuits
Scouting's emphasis on selfreliance.
Remember the thread - Do
Your HeHt, Ht: PrtipArod, to ht•
phyHicnlly Htrong nnd mtmtnlly
awake. Scouting is fun - that's
why-- we do . it. That .is, it's fun
unless we take the classroom
technique and learn skills just to
get them signed off. Do it the way
it should be done - learn the
skills as part of the program, and
advance as a result. That way,
everybody wins.

basis; so if you'd like to attend

What Are Exploring
"First Nighters"
What is an Exploring First
NiR"hter and why is it important?
A "First Nighter" is when
prospective post members are
invited to an open house of the
respective Post's sponsors place
of business. This meeting is
designed to inform them about
the post, the potential program
and Exploring. Furthermore the
young adults can meet the post's
udult lt•11<fon1 und tour or learn
ahout I.he chartered orguniza
ti on.
, The "First Nighter?' is
probably the first time the young
adults have heard about
Exploring or visited the
chartered organization. Their
first impression is important, so
careful attention should be made
in planning an exciting first
nighter.
Normally First Nighters are
thought to relate to special
interest Exploring, but the same
principle applies to High
Adventure and general interest
post. The First Nighter needs to
be an exciting event for the
prospective members.
The First Nighter is the time
when the chartered organizations
sell itself to the prospective
members. Regardless of what
type of post is conducting the
First Nighter there should be a
brief "hands on" experience.
Show them what you are all
about and let them know this is
only a small part of what is to
come when they join the post.

SCHOOL NIGHT FOR
SCOUTING
New boys + new parents
more boys in Cub Packs and
Scout Troops and it also means
more adult involvement and
leadership in your unit. Surveys
indicate that more boys join
Scouting in the fall than any
other time of the year. Now is an
excellent opportunity to get your
Pack, Troop, and Post to ·the
national average in size. (Pack
40, Troop 25, Post 15). Now is the
best time to get more parents
involved in a leadership roie as
parents are more receptive to
helping when their son first joins
the program.
CUB, SCOUT AND
EXPLORER LEADER
TRAINING
The leadership development
philosophy of the B.S.A. is to
provide adult leaders with
fundamental information about
the aims and purposes ·of the
movement, as well as the
specifics about their particular
roles in Scouting.
A trained leader is one who is
knowledgeable and therefore,
confident in the role being
performed. Such a leader exudes
confidence which is quickly
sensed by the Cub Scout, Scout,
or Explorer and becomes a
positive influence on that person.
Then, the leader who has a
positive influence on others
enjoys the feeling of self·
satisfaction that comes from

NORTHEAST 1980 FALL CUB SCOUT TRAINING
The Excellent Northeast District will offer two different options
for Cub Scout Leaders training this fall.
For your convenience, Sherry Campbell, our Cub Scout Training
Chairman, has arranged an all day training course Satl!rday, Sept. 27
at Raleigh Presbyterian Church from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This will be
a bring your own lunch affair. The other option is evening sessions on
October 20 (Monday) and October 23 (Thursday) at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church from 6:30 to 10:00 each evening.
It is important that all new leaders and members of committees
attend these sessions. We need trained leadership. It is only fair to the
young men in the program to have a trained leader. We stress that
everyone make an effort to attend.
Once again make plans to get our new leadership trained on

Thursday, Oct. 23 - 6:30 to lO:OOp.m. being held at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church, 3385 Austin Peay Hwy., next to McDonald's.
NASHOBA (CONTINUED)
knowing that what is being done
is truly worthwhile. In no other
way can Scouting be successful.
Every boy deserves a trained
leader. Now is the time for our
new and experienced leaders to
take training in the N ashoba
District or in any district or on
the council level. Review the
dates of the training schedule's
and become a "Trained Leader."

Exploring Growth
Program Announced
The national Explorer
cabinet has announced a
program to help the growth of
Exploring by recognizing those
Explorers who recruit new
members into their posts.
"By bringing new members
to Exploring, active .m embers
can make a sizable impact on the
growth of Exploring," says Jeff
Shimer, national president of the
400,000-plus members of the
young-adult program and prime
mover of this recruiting effort.
A distinctive award
certificate will be available for
the Explorers who successfully
participate in the program to
stimulate an increase in
membership.
To qualify for the award, an
Explorer must introduce one new
member into a local post
program during the fall of 1980.
Once the new mem her is
registered, the post Advisor may
apply to the local council service
center for the certificate, for
presentation at the appropriate
ceremonies.
The certificates, and
accompanying letters of
appreciation, will be available
from the national Exploring
Division.

Scouts are taught
that working alongside
one another, with
one common goal can
be rewarding. That
active participation
in projects gets things
done ... and cooperation
and team effort can
accomplish much more
than working alone.
We're mighty proud
of our Scouts and
the work they do!

"The Professional
Scouter"
It has often been humorously
said th~t a Professional Scouter
is expected to be an educator, to
have been at one time a scholar,
to have judgment about finance,
to know something about
construction, maintenance, and
labor, to speak virtuously and
continuously in words that
charm and never offend, to take
bold positions With which no one
will disagree, to consult
everyone, and follow all given
advice, and to do everything
through committees, but with
great speed and without error.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TROOP 292,171 AND POST 171
"Every boy deserves a trained leader." You've heard it said. You
know it is true. We are proud, here in the Southeast District, of the high
quality of our adult leader training. At the writing of this article we can
report on Scout Leader training and remind everyone the Cub Leader
Training is upon us.
Regarding Scout Leader Training, we are proud to report that JIM
COPELAND and his training committee have put together the best
training course available to adult scouters. Our first meeting was
excellent, both in program and participation. It is a good feeling to
have such qualified leaders giving their time and efforts to make
scouting happen through "trained" leaders. Thank you, Jim. Great
job.
We want to thank PHYLLIS SOUTHALL and her Cub Training
committee for preparing the program and materials necessary to
" train" our new Cub Leaders.
F OR MANY CUB LEADERS THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST

\
The Coors Corporation had a contest to clean up our community.
The organization that brought in the most cans won $500. Two troops
and one post combined to win first place in West Memphis. I think this
action of these units was more than monetary. I would like to thank
these units for showing the community that Scouting is helping the
environment. I would like to personally thank the leaders of these
units for giving their time and leadership in this cause .

Exploring Growth
Program Announced
The national Explorer
cabinet has announced a
program to help the growth of
Exploring by recognizing those
Explorers who recruit new
members into their posts.
"By bringing new members
to Exploring, active .members
can make a sizable impact on the
growth of Exploring," says Jeff
Shimer, national president of the
400,000-plus members of the
young-adult program and prime
mover of this recruiting effort.
A distinctive award
certificate will be available for
the Explorers who successfully
participate in the program to
stimulate an increase in
membership.
To qualify for the award, an
Explorer must introduce one new
member into a local post
program during the fall of 1980.
Once the new mem her is
registered, the post Advisor may
apply to the local council service
center for the certificate, for
presentation at the appropriate
ceremonies.
The certificates, and
accompanying letters of
appreciation, will be available
from the national Exploring
Division.
Scouting
Is
Pulling Together
To Make Good
Things Happen
Scouts are taught
that working alongside
one another, with
one common goal can
be rewarding. That
active participation
in projects gets things
done ... and cooperation
and team effort can
accomplish much more
than working alone.
We're mighty proud
of our Scouts and
the work they do!

"The Professional
Scouter"
It has often been humorously
said th~t a Professional Scouter
is expected to be an educator, to
have been at one time a scholar,
to have judgment about finance,
to know something about
construction, maintenance, and
labor, to speak virtuously and
continuously in words that
charm and never offend, to take
bold positions With which no one
will disagree, to consult
everyone, and follow all given
advice, and to do everything
through committees, but with
great speed and without error.

"Every boy deserves a trained leader." You've heard it said. You
know it is true. We are proud, here in the Southeast District, of the high
quality of our adult leader training. At the writing of this article we can
report on Scout Leader training and remind everyone the Cub Leader
Training is upon us.
Regarding Scout Leader Training, we are proud to report that JIM
COPELAND and his training committee have put together the best
training course available to adult scouters. Our first meeting was

have such qualified leaders giving their time and efforts to make
scouting happen through "trained" leaders. Thank you, Jim. Great
job.

committee for preparing the program and materials necessary to

CONGRATULATIONS TO TROOP 292,171 AND POST 171
The Coors Corporation had a contest to clean up our community.
The organization that brought in the most cans won $500. Two troops
and one post combined to win first place in West Memphis. I think this
action of these units was more than monetary. I would like to thank
these units for showing the community that Scouting is helping the
environment. I would like to personally thank the leaders of these
units for giving their time and leadership in this cause.
FALL CAMPOREE
The location of the camporee has been changed to Trigg lake .

NOTES FROM YOUR DISTRICT EXECUTIVE
Conclave 1980 was a big succes. We had 29 people attend this year.
I would like to thank all the ladies that brought the ice cream. I would
like to also thank the men for the cookies and cakes.
I cannot believe this year is almost over. I am looking forward to
the coming year for Scouting in Crittenden. I feel we will have the best
year Crittenden has ever had. I hope you will work with me in making

Rate Increase
Subscription rate for Boy's
Life Magazine will increase Sept.
1, 1980 from the current $3.60 to
$4.20 per year. The escalation in
price is necessitated by
inflationary increase in paper,
postage and printing. The new
price will relate to a 35¢ per copy

which is still one of the least
expensive magazines available
on the m a rket today .

.SPRING CAMPOREE
The Excellent Northeast District has done it again! We had a
fantastic Spring Camporee! It did not rain· we just had heavy dew.
Congratulations to Bill Neal, our Spring Camporee Chairman, for
a job well done. Also, Jack Smith deserves a hand of applause for the
job he did as Chief Judge.
Naturally we would not have had a successful Camporee ifit had
not been for the participation of our Unit ~aders and fine Scout
Troops! Everyone made the Camporee a total .success. As usual, we
had outstanding awards and Joe Brunson is responsible for the nice
wooden awards and Dick Rush for his fine leather work.
Awards for the following went to:

would have wished, but our Scouts stuck it out and had a great time.

Speaking of not-so-great weather. Sorry fellows. We ordered
sunshine and warm breezes. Guess that's on back order, too. But to
those who came we feel deserve a snappy Scouters' salute. SALUTE. A
special thanks to our Encampment Chairman; because of Jeno Toldi · ·
the rain wasn't as wet, the cool wind not so cold, the mud not so
slippery ... the laughter was louder, the smiles broader, and the
memories happier. Thanks, Jeno.

DR. E. URNER GOODM AN DIES
Dr. E. Umer Goodma n, founder of the Order of the Arrow, died
March 13 at the age of 92.
Dr. Goodma n founded the Order in the summer of 1915 while
serving as a Camp Director of the Philadel phia Council, and he
became a Professi onal Scouter in Philadel phia in that same year. He
was appointe d the Scout Executiv e of the Chicago Area Council in
1927 and held that position until 1931, when he joined the Nationa l
Council Staff. It was during his service in Chicago that he wrote a tune
that we know as the "Owasip pe Hymn."
Dr. Goodma n retired from an outstand ing Scouting career and
has lived in Florida since that time. In recent years Dr. Goodma n h'a s
had to limit his activitie s somewh at and he usually·attends only the
Nationa l Confere nce and other special occasion s.
Dr. Goodma n was the featured Speaker at the December 28, 1978
Annual Owasipp e Lodge, Order of the Arrow banquet .
Dr. Goodma n was a legend in his own time and will be sorely
missed by Scouting .

CHiCKASAW COUNCIL, B.S.A., MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE MAY, I980
Council Wide Jamboree July 4th
..................................................... ,.
Now is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of their
country. So spoke a patriot some
two hundred years ago.
Today the Chickasaw
Council is sponsoring a one day
patriotic event with the theme:
Scouting On Display; Our
Country Every Day--Open to
every Pack, Troop, and Explorer
unit to participate.
The event will take place at
Tom Lee Park, down town
Memphis on the majestic
Mississippi River. Each unit that
pre-registers will be a warded a
free patch to every Scout and
Scouter. There will be aproximately
sixty (60) booths that are
thirty (30) feet in length and
twenty-five (25) feet in depth
available to Showcase Scouting
and our country's patriotic
theme. There is space on the
Jamboree Pre-Registration Form
for a description of your unit
project. These forms may be
picked ttp and received at the ·
Scout . Office in the Jamboree
folder no later then June 20, 1980
for review and selection on a first
come first serve basis.
Consider the richness and
variety of the Scouting Program
· for your ideal of Scouting
interest. Some ideas could be a
Philmont Camper display or the
Scout Uniform complete with
patch and neckerchief and slide
collections. The Order of the
Arrow could be a theme or what
is a Webelos anyway and what
do · they do and how did they get
there? Don't forget any part of
the Scout Law, Motto, or Slogan
as a theme. Scout advancement
in rank or a merit badge may
serve to answer the question:
What can my unit do? Don't
forget special Scouting activities
such as Cub Scout Handicrafts or
tote'n chip axmanship. ·The
conservation theme is strongly
suggested not to mention our two
hundred y<~urH of locnl, Htnte, und
n a tional history. Use your
imagination and ingenuity. All
questions concerning organizetion
or program may be
forwarded to Hal Foster,
Program Chairman; or John
Newton, Communication
Chairman, 7619222 from 6 P.M.
to 7 P.M. any Sunday evening in
May or June.
There will also be free hot
dogs and cokes for pre-registered
units at noon after the booths are
set up that Friday, July fourth
from 8 A.M. till noon. After lunch
the booths must be manned at all
times and scheduled so the ·
Scouts may participate in the two
game areas available. Clean up
and departure is scheduled by 8
P.M. that same day. Let's come
out to our country's 204th
birthday and do ourselves a Good
Turn in the process.
Note: Charcoal grills only;
no separate ground fires,
Th~nks!

Worth Knowing
The U.S. Air Force Academy
is among the _ nation's top five
schools in producing Rhodes
scholars. Scouting leads the way
as a source for the Academy's .
Rhodes scholars. Of the
Academy's 20 Rhodes scholars,
13 are former Boy Scouts and six
have been Eagle Scouts. Further,
in the 21 graduating classes at
the academy , 14 of the 21 cadets
who graduated as number one in

EXCELLENT NORTHEAST
.SPRING CAMPOREE
The Excellent Northeast District has done it again! We had a
fantastic Spring Camporee! It did not rain· we just had heavy dew.
Congratulations to Bill Neal, our Spring Camporee Chairman, for
a job well done. Also, Jack Smith deserves a hand of applause for the
job he did as Chief Judge.
Naturally we would not have had a successful Camporee ifit had
not been for the participation of our Unit ~aders and fine Scout
Troops! Everyone made the Camporee a total .success. As usual, we
had outstanding awards and Joe Brunson is responsible for the nice
wooden awards and Dick Rush for his fine leather work.
Awards for the following went to:
Best Troop: Troop 34
Best Campsite: Troop 415
Best Patrol: Troop 34 Panther Patrol

TRAINING
This is the month for all
adult Boy Scout leaders to get
trained. An excellent staff from
the Nashoba and Northeast
District will serve as the
instructors. How effectively the
Boy Scouts of America
influences the lives of boys
depends, to a large degree, on
leaders and their understanding
of the aims of the Boy Scouts of
America and methods used to
accomplish these aims. See the
dates, time and place in
important date section of the
District article.
THE GOOD
OLE SUMMERTIME
Will the summer of '80 be the
best or the worst time for your
Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts? Now
is the time to make sure that the
boys in your Pack and Troop get
the outing part of Scouting. Plan
for your Cubs and Webelos to
attend the Cub Day Camps.
Help see that your Boy Scouts. get

We wish to thank Walter Howard and his Camporee staff for an
outstanding District Camporee. The weather did not cooperate as we
would have wished, but our Scouts stuck it out and had a great time.
WEBELOSENCAMPMENT1980
Speaking of not-so-great weather. Sorry fellows. We ordered
sunshine and warm breezes. Guess that's on back order, too. But to
those who came we feel deserve a snappy Scouters' salute. SALUTE. A
special thanks to our Encampment Chairman; because of Jeno Toldi · ·
the rain wasn't as wet, the cool wind not so cold, the mud not so
slippery ... the laughter was louder, the smiles broader, and the

DR. E. URNER GOODMAN DIES
Dr. E. Umer Goodman, founder of the Order of the Arrow, died
March 13 at the age of 92.
Dr. Goodman founded the Order in the summer of 1915 while
serving as a Camp Director of the Philadelphia Council, and he
became a Professional Scouter in Philadelphia in that same year. He
was appointed the Scout Executive of the Chicago Area Council in
1927 and held that position until 1931, when he joined the National
Council Staff. It was during his service in Chicago that he wrote a tune
that we know as the "Owasippe Hymn."
Dr. Goodman retired from an outstanding Scouting career and
has lived in Florida since that time. In recent years Dr. Goodman h 'as
had to limit his activities somewhat and he usually· attends only the
National Conference and other special occasions.
Dr. Goodman was the featured Speaker at the December 28, 1978
Annual Owasippe Lodge, Order of the Arrow banquet.
Dr. Goodman was a legend in his own time and will be sorely
missed by Scouting.

The Staffs of the Cub Scout
Day Camps are enthusiastically
putting finishing touches on a
fun filled week - July 14-18 - for
our eight and nine year old Cubs.
Nature, Sports, Games, Crafts,
and Aquatics at some camps, are
some of the activities being
offered this summer.
The ten year old Webelos
Scouts will have their own
activity badge oriented program
again this year. Director John
Hemmings is looking forward to
an outstanding experience for all
Webelos and Webelos Day Camp
Staffers.
There will be buses to
transport Webelos from outlying
Cub Day Camps to Harding
Academy on Cherry Road and
back again in the afternoon.
Time schedules are being worked
out now and will be announced
through each Day Camp's
Director at a later date.

. guard-unfurls the red, white, and
blue. All scouting units are asked
to display their patrol troop, den

emblems along the display
corridor at Tom Lee Park Friday,

a monkey bridge and signal
towers displaying our engineering skills. The Order of Arrow

who is making this event
possible, will be present along
with other dignitaries and

Congressman and available to
all pre-registered scouting units.
Be sure to pick up food and drink
tickets at the base of the Tom Lee

An apology to an old friend
This Year Nobo dy Aske d...
l'LL DELIVER PROGRAM
TO THE HOME EVERY
MONTH WITH BOYS' UFE.
David Endsley has been a
loyal supporter of Scouting for
more years than most of us can
remember. (Actually, Endsley
isn't his real name but he would
be embarrassed by the public
telling of his story).
Each year Mr. Endsley signs
up as a Sustaining Member of the
Chickasaw Council. Boy Scouts
of America. In recent years this
has become more important to
him as the demands of his job
and the increasing restraints of
his age have allowed him to do
less with the boys.
For years he has been
approached by one of his old
Scouting friends and, after some
good natured teasing about the
cost of things and how "they
don 't do it anymore like when we
were kids," he signed the pledge
ca r d offered him . His pledge
wasn't large, but within his
means, and over the years he h as
supported a lot of boys in
Scouting. He figured that
supporting a boy in Scouting for
a full year for $46 was a bargain.
Somehow this year was
different.
This year no one asked him
for his pledge.
Each time he saw a Scout in
uniform he wondered, Have they
forgotten me? Have they decided
that I'm too old? Or not rich
enough to bother with?
Fact is, David was simply
the victim of "system brakedown." A new enroller had called
when David was on vacation and
possibly never managed to call
again .
The result was a friend of
Scouting turned away. Unfortunately , this may have
happe n ed all too often this
year.
Our records suggest that a
lot oflong-time friends like David
may not have been asked for
their continual support this year.
Are you one of these people?

These Patrol Meetings during the summer would set a pattern and·

WEBELOS ENCAMPMENT ··--.... .
The Excellent Northeast District and Nashoba District had
approximately 150 Webelos Scouts and their dads enjoy the Webelos
Encampment at Camp Currier.
We are always interested in trying to bridge the gap between the
·
Webelos and Boy Scout Program. We urge Scoutmasters and Troop
Committees to communicate with your partners in the Cub Scouting
Program to help bring these young men into your Troop. Let us help
these Webelos make the transition into a Boy Scout Troop so that they
may continue to explore themselves and the outdoor experience.
We wish to thank Walt Reinecke of the Excellent Northeast
District and B.C. Jennings of Nashoba for their leadership in the
Webelos Encampment. Also thanks goes to those who make it possible
and that is all the leaders in both districts.
CUB SCOUT DAY CAMP
The Northeast District, Cub Scout Day Camp, will beheld July 1418, 1980, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church, 3385 Austin Peay Highway.
Classes in nature, crafts, games and field sports will be offered
Monday thru Thursday. Friday will be a "Fun Day " with special
activities for the boys, in<iluding a tentative free picnic lunch.
A13 suggested in Scouting Magazine, we are making an effort to
provide the boys with activities and experiences that most would not
normally experience at home. Some examples are archery, simple
carpentry, and leatherwork.
In accordance with the Day Camp Manual, "You must know how
many to prepare for," we have established a deadline for applications
on June 30, 1980. Let us all make plans to comply with this date since it
is essential for staff personnel, buying of supolies, etc. For more
information call Linda Schile, 1980 Cub Day Camp Director for the
Northeast, at 388-7065; Catherine Mensi, 1980 Program Director, 38689°66; or the Scout Service Center, 327-4193.

100 Cubs at this year's day camp.
This goal will be met and
. exceeded if each Cubmaster and
Den Leaders will promote this
outstanding event in their Pack.
Getting at least a Den of boys
from each Pack would be a good
goal for each of our Packs. The
staff is shaping of great;
however, we do need a few more
staff members. If you can help,
please contact Shirley Hemmings at 872-8493 or Peggy
Lucus at 872-2840.
MANPOWER
The summer time is an ideal
time to analyze the manpower
needs in your Pack, Troop or Post
as you make plans for the new
program year beginning in
. September. We have several
excellent brochures at the Scout
Service Center pertaining to
securing a ·cubmaster, Den
Leader, Scoutmaster or Explorer
Advisor . Every Scouting
Coordinator needs to have the
appropriate booklet for this
position. Pack Committee, Troop
Committee, and Post Committee
Books are available. Most Packs,
Troops, and Posts need more
adult manpower. Now is thetime
to recruit and train these people
so that the boys in your unit will
indeed get "GOOD SCOUTING."
$ME CAMPAIGN
Frank Holland, our District
Sustaining Membership Chairman would like to thank all the
many men and women who have
so much in this year's drive. It
has been a heart warming
experience to see so many of our
unit Scouters get involved in
helping to raise our share of the
Chickasaw Council goal. Many
new people have helped in this
year's campaign, and we
~-ppreciate their help.

TWO EAGLE SCOUTS PERFORM
LIFE-SAVING ACTION
B.S.A. First Aid and emergency situation training pays off. While
on an outing with B.S.A. Troop 256, Whitten Memorial Baptist
Church, Memphis, TN., two Scouts; Eagle John Threadgill and Eagle
David Harris were faced with an emergency situation which required
their quick thinking and action.
Their Troop was camped at Nathan Bedford Forrest on the
Tennessee River. Threadgill and Harris were some distance from their
camp on the bank of the river when they spotted several teen-agers
who had been canoeing in the windy river. One of the canoes
overturned, spilling agirland a boy into the cold water. The Scouts ran
to the scene where the girl had been helped to shore by two other boys.
Threadgill and Harris had been trained in B.S.A. First Aid
and had gone through several simulated emergency situations. The
boys involved were O.K. but the girl was hysterical, and the Scouts
realized that she was showing signs of shock and could experience
hypothermia if help wasn't obtained promptly.
The Rooutti took ch a rfife of the Aituetion
RA
they had h~n trAinPrl .
They knew th at on e of th em s ht)uld go for help, and the other should
remain on the scene to prevent the group from wandering in the wrong
direction. Harris remained trying to keep the girl as warm as possible,
and assured her that help was on the way. Threadgill ran to his camp
where he calmly reported the facts to his adult leaders which permitted
quick and correct response.
Within minutes, the girl was in a warm blanket, and was being
transported to her camp for further treatment. By the next day, she
was doing fine due to the response by these two Scouts.
The actions taken by John Threadgill and David Harris reflect
their mature thinking in an emergency situation, and is a tribute to
them and the B.S.A training they received.

Dav id Endsley has been a

more years than most of us can

Each year Mr. Endsley signs

his age have allowed him to do

WEBELOS ENCAMPMENT·--.... ..
The Excellent Northeast District and Nashoba District had
approximately 150 Webelos Scouts and their dads enjoy the Webelos
Encampment at Camp Currier.
· We are always interested in trying to bridge the gap between the
Webelos and Boy Scout Program. We urge Scoutmasters and Troop
Committees to communicate with your partners in the Cub Scouting
Program to help bring these young men into your Troop. Let us help
these Webelos make the transition into a Boy Scout Troop so that they
may continue to explore themselves and the outdoor experience.
We wish to thank Walt Reinecke of the Excellent Northeast
District and B.C. Jennings of Nashoba for their leadership in the
Webelos Encampment. Also thanks goes to those who make it possible
and that is all the leaders in both districts.
CUB SCOUT DAY CAMP
The Northeast District, Cub Scout Day Camp, will beheld July 14-
18, 1980, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Raleigh
Presbyterian Church, 3385 Austin Peay Highway.
Classes in nature, crafts, games and field sports will be offered
Monday thru Thursday. Friday will be a "Fun Day" with special
activities for the boys, in<iluding a tentative free picnic lunch.
A13 suggested in Scouting Magazine, we are making an effort to
provide the boys with activities and experiences that most would not
normally experience at home. Some examples are archery, simple
carpentry, and leatherwork.
In accordance with the Day Camp Manual, "You must know how
many to prepare for," we have established a deadline for applications
on June 30, 1980. Let us all make plans to comply with this date since it
is essential for staff personnel, buying of supolies, etc. For more
information call Linda Schile, 1980 Cub Day Camp Director for the
Northeast, at 388-7065; Catherine Mensi, 1980 Program Director, 386-

MANPOWER
The summer time is an ideal
time to analyze the manpower
needs in your Pack, Troop or Post
as you make plans for the new
program year beginning in
. September. We have several
excellent brochures at the Scout
Service Center pertaining to
securing a ·cubmaster, Den
Leader, Scoutmaster or Explorer
Advisor . Every Scouting
Coordinator needs to have the
appropriate booklet for this
position. Pack Committee, Troop
Committee, and Post Committee
Books are available. Most Packs,
Troops, and Posts need more
adult manpower. Now is thetime
to recruit and train these people
so that the boys in your unit will
indeed get "GOOD SCOUTING."

Frank Holland, our District
Sustaining Membership Chairman
would like to thank all the
many men and women who have
so much in this year's drive. It
has been a heart warming

helping to raise our share of the

TWO EAGLE SCOUTS PERFORM
LIFE-SAVING ACTION
B.S.A. First Aid and emergency situation training pays off. While
on an outing with B.S.A. Troop 256, Whitten Memorial Baptist
Church, Memphis, TN., two Scouts; Eagle John Threadgill and Eagle
David Harris were faced with an emergency situation which required
their quick thinking and action. -
Their Troop was camped at Nathan Bedford Forrest on the
Tennessee River. Threadgill and Harris were some distance from their
camp on the bank of the river when they spotted several teen-agers
who had been canoeing in the windy river. One of the canoes
overturned, spilling agirland a boy into the cold water. The Scouts ran
to the scene where the girl had been helped to shore by two other boys.
Threadgill and Harris had been trained in B.S.A. First Aid
and had gone through several simulated emergency situations. The
boys involved were O.K. but the girl was hysterical, and the Scouts
realized that she was showing signs of shock and could experience
hypothermia if help wasn't obtained promptly.
The Rooutti took ch a rfife of the Aituetion RA they had h~n trAinPrl.
They knew th at one of them s ht)uld go for help, and the other should
remain on the scene to prevent the group from wandering in the wrong
direction. Harris remained trying to keep the girl as warm as possible,
and assured her that help was on the way. Threadgill ran to his camp
where he calmly reported the facts to his adult leaders which permitted
quick and correct response.
Within minutes, the girl was in a warm blanket, and was being
transported to her camp for further treatment. By the next day, she
was doing fine due to the response by these two Scouts.
The actions taken by John Threadgill and David Harris reflect
their mature thinking in an emergency situation, and is a tribute to
them and the B.S.A training they received.

new subscriptions. Top salesmen
during the last two weeks of the
campaign were Scout Sherman

selling 33 new subscriptions.
Although the Troop members
did not meet their goal of 1,000

Master Corps Keep In Touch
If you have camped at Camp
Currier recently, you probably
have noticed a group of Scouters
contacting Troops in camp.
These Scouters are members of a
new organization in Chickasaw
Council, called the Camp Master
Corps. This group is just getting
started and should expand its
activity in the near future.
The Camp Master Corps is a
group of experienced Scouters
who serve about 2 weekends per
year at Currier. The duties of this
Corps now are to contact Troops
in the entire camp, stay in touch
during the camping week-end,
and check out Troops as they
leave camp. We believe the Camp
Master Corps can help maintain
security and safety in the camp,
can screen incoming traffic,
direct Troops and visitors to
campsites, provide a better
communication, promote the
Outdoor Code and cleanliness m
camping. The Corps can provide
assistance to Troops in many
ways, particularly the new
Troops, and Troop_s with limited
adult leadership.
As the Camp Master Corps
grows, we hope to use it to
provide .program and advancement opportunities at camp and
to assist other groups in
developing and improving the
camp and it& Scouting Program.
We need more Scouters in
this program and would welcome
all those interested in joining
this import*nt program. Call
Thane Smith at 754-5200 or Scout
Office - 327-4193.

LeBonheur Children's

that they are in desperate need of
toys and games for children in
the hospital.
In the past some of our Eagle
Scouts have done this worthy
project and it is most rewarding
as it gives the Eagle Scouts a
feeling of doing good and it gives
children in the hospital many
hours of pleasure.

Mary Grogan at 522-3190. She
has several other projects as well
as the one mentioned above.
Also Arlington Developmental Center is in need of wooden ·

them. If any of your Scouts are

COMMEMORATION
In our American way oflife we celebrate many historic dates. The
4th of July, Independence Day is one of our special historic days that
we celebrate.
The 4th of July Annual Scout Jamboree was indeed a chanc~ to
celebrate together. The beauty of camping and other Scouting
activities with our Congressman Harold Ford and many other guests
was quite an affair. On behalf of the Chickasaw Council a~~ my.self I
would like to say thanks a million for your excellent participation.
The 4th of July Jamboree is a good example of what can be done
when we all work together. If there are any ideas for the future or
criticism of the past event please let me know. We are always m need of
people who have genuine concerns and a willingness to help:
I would also like to give a special thanks to John Newton, Lou
Woods and Hal Foster for helping to make the Jamboree a successful
rvity.

Conclave in your District's
column.)
After the District Conclave,
your unit is encouraged to
conduct its own annual planning
conference. It is advisable to do
this within a week to ten days
after the District event. Your

The Memphis Alumin.um

arrangements for all Packs,
Troops · and Post to collect
aluminum cans for recycling.
Each unit should take its
collection of aluminum cans to
the center , at 2231 Filmore
(adjacent to the Kellogg's plant
near the intersection of Airways
and Dunn). The collecting units
will receive 25¢ per pound for the
cans.

funded by the Memphis
Publishing Company. The troop
.obtained 243 new subscriptions
and, in turn, was paid $524.25 for
their sales efforts.
Top salesman for the four
week sales campaign was Scout
Myron Lawrence, who sold 40
new subscriptions. Top salesmen
during the last two weeks of the
campaign were Scout Sherman
Butler, selling 24 new subscriptions,
and Scout Anthony Carr,
selling 33 new subscriptions.
Although the Troop members
did not meet their goal of 1,000
orders which was set by their
Scoutmasters, Mr. Rubin
Campbell and Mr. Thomas
Jordan, the overall performance
and efforts by this group of
young men was very good. The
Troop plans to purchase new

earnings.
If your unit is interested in
the above money earning project
contact Mr. Frank Terrell at
Memphis Publishing Company

Only aluminum cans are
being bought under this

the difference between aluminum
cans and other metals is
that aluminum is nonmagnetic.
The center will provide the
plastic bags to be used for
purposes of collection.

If you have camped at Camp
Currier recently, you probably
have noticed a group of Scouters
contacting Troops in camp.
These Scouters are members of a
new organization in Chickasaw
Council, called the Camp Master
Corps. This group is just getting
started and should expand its
activity in the near future.
The Camp Master Corps is a
group of experienced Scouters
who serve about 2 weekends per
year at Currier. The duties of this
Corps now are to contact Troops
in the entire camp, stay in touch
during the camping week-end,
and check out Troops as they
leave camp. We believe the Camp
Master Corps can help maintain
security and safety in the camp,
can screen incoming traffic,
direct Troops and visitors to
campsites, provide a better
communication, promote the
Outdoor Code and cleanliness m
camping. The Corps can provide
assistance to Troops in many
ways, particularly the new
Troops, and Troop_s with limited
adult leadership.
As the Camp Master Corps
grows, we hope to use it to
provide .program and advancement
opportunities at camp and
to assist other groups in
developing and improving the
camp and it& Scouting Program.
We need more Scouters in
this program and would welcome
all those interested in joining
this import*nt program. Call
Thane Smith at 754-5200 or Scout
Office - 327-4193.

Thane Smith

Pictured from left to right: Joe A. Long, Scout Executive; A solution to this problem has been found!! The solution is being a
David Harris, John Threadgill and Max Aycock, Scoutmaster participant in the 1980 School Night Program. It is-a proven fact that a

Pointing Webelos Scouts
Toward Boy Scouting
BY WILLIAM SIMON
Photographs by ]arrold Cabluck
BY 7 A.M. THE LAST trace of a cool
May night hangs over the meadow and its
20 Webelos campsites like a persistent
guest, reluctant to leave a party that's obviously over. The sweet, hickory odor of
cooked bacon and wild honeysuckle permeates the crisp air. It's the beginning of
a day full of promise, the kind of day
you'd expect from a soft, Mississippi
spring morning.
Lined up in smart-looking rows and arrayed in immacu late uniforms, Den 4,
Pack 248 from Memphis, stands at attention while Den Chief Ca rl Mangum carefully inspects each boy. Satisfied with
their appearance, he gives a signal. Six
young voices suddenly shatter the morning quiet as effectively as cannon fire.
"Den4, Den4,
We 're number one.
46
lfwe can'tdoit,
It can't be done!"
Flung into the morning air like a
gauntlet, other Webelos dens quickly take
up the challenge.
"Two, four, six, eight,
506 is really great!"
"Hey!Hey!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Who are we?
Can't ;•ou see?
Den J ••• Pack 505!"
"We're250.
Couldn't be prouder.
Ifyou can't hear us,
We'll yell a little louder!"
h 's a jarring blend of simplistic rhymes
and piercing screams. But then, the den
yell has never claimed a melodic purpose.
Its strong suit is raising sp iri ts. And it
works. A noticeable increase in enthusiasm nows through the campsites like a
high tide. The 158 Webelos Scouts, 68
dads and Cub Scout leaders gathered
there will ride thecrestofthatenthusiasm
the rest of the day. The scene is Camp
Currier, near Hernando, Miss., 15 miles
south of Memphis, where the Southwest
District of the Chickasaw Council is holding its spring father-and-son Webelos Encampment. It's a JO-year-old grass roots
district tradition that owes 100 percent of
its inspiration and success to volunteer
leadership.
It was in the late sixties when Buddy
Newton. a former Cubmaster and then a
round table commissioner for the Southwest District, noticed the Webelos proOctober 1980 Sco111i11g

boys got to th e Webelos sta ge in C ubbing." Buddy Newton says. "they were
losing interest and los in g it fost. They
didn't want to do what an eigh t- or nineyear-old kid would.
"A t the time. the Webelos program
permitted o ne camp-out a }Ca r and
nobody took advantage of even 1ha 1 one
opportunity. Something needed to be
done. So I came up with th e idea of an
encampmen t. and I put 1t down on paper.
··The basic idea was to get the leaders
and the boys and th e dads ou t fo r a weekend of fun, and at the sa me time upgrade the Webelos program. We took the
15 activi ty badges th a t th e boys work o n
in Webelos Scouting and offered instructio n in as many as we co uld so they

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

Webelos Scouts who pass the review. it's a

The trail is a tortuous path full of punishing impediments such as rope bridges,
barriers, and narrow log catwa lks. But the
obstacle that overshadows a ll the others is
called ··s uicid e hill .'' not a particularly

woods, its ugly gash of gu ll y-eroded red
clay stands in contrast to the su rrounding
lush, green forest. Its 30-foot, steeply
inclined height is particularly deadly
today. Recent rains have made the clay
surface slick.
Boy Scouts from Troop 37 posi tion

Pointing Webelos Scouts
Toward Boy Scouting
BY WILLIAM SIMON
Photographs by ]arrold Cabluck
BY 7 A.M. THE LAST trace of a cool
May night hangs over the meadow and its
20 Webelos campsites like a persistent
guest, reluctant to leave a party that's obviously over. The sweet, hickory odor of
cooked bacon and wild honeysuckle permeates the crisp air. It's the beginning of
a day full of promise, the kind of day
you'd expect from a soft, Mississippi
spring morning.
Lined up in smart-looking rows and arrayed in immacu late uniforms, Den 4,
Pack 248 from Memphis, stands at attention while Den Chief Ca rl Mangum carefully inspects each boy. Satisfied with
their appearance, he gives a signal. Six
young voices suddenly shatter the morning quiet as effectively as cannon fire.
"Den4, Den4,
We 're number one.
46
lfwe can'tdoit,
It can't be done!"
Flung into the morning air like a
gauntlet, other Webelos dens quickly take
up the challenge.
"Two, four, six, eight,
506 is really great!"
"Hey!Hey!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Who are we?
Can't ;•ou see?
Den J ••• Pack 505!"
"We're250.
Couldn't be prouder.
Ifyou can't hear us,
We'll yell a little louder!"
h 's a jarring blend of simplistic rhymes
and piercing screams. But then, the den
yell has never claimed a melodic purpose.
Its strong suit is raising sp iri ts. And it
works. A noticeable increase in enthusiasm nows through the campsites like a
high tide. The 158 Webelos Scouts, 68
dads and Cub Scout leaders gathered
there will ride thecrestofthatenthusiasm
the rest of the day. The scene is Camp
Currier, near Hernando, Miss., 15 miles
south of Memphis, where the Southwest
District of the Chickasaw Council is holding its spring father-and-son Webelos Encampment. It's a JO-year-old grass roots
district tradition that owes 100 percent of
its inspiration and success to volunteer
leadership.
It was in the late sixties when Buddy
Newton. a former Cubmaster and then a
round table commissioner for the Southwest District, noticed the Webelos proOctober 1980 Sco111i11g

gra m was the weak link in an o therwise

boys got to th e Webelos sta ge in C ubbing." Buddy Newton says. "they were
losing interest and los in g it fost. They
didn't want to do what an eigh t- or nineyear-old kid would.
"A t the time. the Webelos program
permitted o ne camp-out a }Ca r and
nobody took advantage of even 1ha 1 one
opportunity. Something needed to be
done. So I came up with th e idea of an
encampmen t. and I put 1t down on paper.
··The basic idea was to get the leaders
and the boys and th e dads ou t fo r a weekend of fun, and at the sa me time upgrade the Webelos program. We took the
15 activi ty badges th a t th e boys work o n
in Webelos Scouting and offered instructio n in as many as we co uld so they

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

are devoted to activity badge instruction.

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

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

PECKER WOOD
NATURE TRAIL
CAMP CURRIER
�MfMPHl5
'
fltfL(
�. PECKERWOOD NATURE TRAIL
-The Peckerwood Nature. Trail is located in
Scout Camp Currier, property of Chickasaw
Council, BSA. The camp is ' off Mississippi
Highway 304, just west of Eudora·. See map.
The Trail starts and ends i at the Tomahawk
Dining Hall on the main central road. You
may park in this area. The Trail is approximately 3 miles long, in a loop. Allow 2
hours hiking time. The Trail is marked with
a Wolf's head painted on trees. The first
half .of the Trail will introduce you to tree
identification. The second half will quiz
you on these same trees. Other points of
nature lore will be described but not quizzed.
I:: ;;,a rticular, changes in the environment due
to natural forces will be observed. Use this
Trail as a Nature lesson. Snakes are not often seen in Camp Currier, but do be careful.
Everywhere you will see Poison Ivy. It grows
as a small plant, a bush, or as a vine. Learn
to identi fy it. The leaves are in 3's as:
POISON IVY
VIRGINIA CREERER
Any plant with white berries is to be avoided
(poison ivy and poison sumac}. Any tree with
red berries is safe to touch (dogwood, hol ly,
shiny sumac, staghorn sumac). "Berries white,
poisonous sight." You should identify also
Virginia Creeper everywhere.
It is a small
plant or vine with leaves in groups of 5's,
smaller and darker than poison ivy. Look for
it on the ground and growing up trees. It is
not poisonous.
Let us begin. Immediately across the road from
the dining hall is a line of Oak trees. The
leaves are deeply notched. The points between
the notches are pointed in the Red Oak and
rounded in the White Oak.
:L
�WHITE
RED OAK
A much smaller tree along this roadside is the
Sassafras . Many very young ones are growing in
a cut-over area right at the roadside just across
from the front door of the dining hall. Notice
the leaves are of three shapes:
The leaves,
bark, stems,
and roots have
a distinctiv e,
smell. The roots were once
very
root beer. You will encounter
used
Sassafras trees throughou t the
YELLOW POPLAR
SASSAFRAS
Soon on your right, just as you enter the meadow,
you will see a very big tree at the edge of the
forest. This is a Yellow Poplar or Tulip Poplar
tree . The trunk is very straight. In younger specimens the bark is smooth. The l eaf is shaped lik e
a tulip. In the spring there are tulip-shap ed
blossoms of green, yellow , and orange. This is the
State Tree of Tennessee . Before the arrival of civilization , the Yellow Poplar was the most common
big tree east of the Mississip pi River. This particular specimen is not as straight and wellformed as most. The large hole in the trunk shows ·
that it was injured by fire when it was young .
2
�Look closely for rows of small holes made by
woodpecke rs.
SWEET GUM
In the clump of trees at the head of the meadow,
by the concrete slab, are several trees to learn.
One has leaves in the shape of a S-pointed star.
Boys are usually familiar with the seed-burr or
gumball. This is the Red Gum or
~
-- - - .
Sweet Gum. Some specimens will
~
have cork "wings" along the stemslook for them.
A smaller tree in this clump has heart-shap ed
leaves. This is the Redbud (remember heart-shap edred blood- redbud). Early in the Spring these
trees produce a bright purple blossom, seen best
in cultivated varieties in the city.
A tall tree in this clump is the Persirrmon . It
has long, smooth, slightly irregular leaves. Note
the "ch~ckP.t"board " appearanc e of the bark. The
wood ir very hard. In the Autumn a fleshy orange
fruit is produced which is a favorite of the opossw~1 and other animals.

�Also in this clump you will find a big American
Elm. The leaves are smallish and have a sawtoothed edge.
AMERICAN ELM
Follow the Trail into the forest. Soon on your
right you will find a Red Maple marked. Look
around , you will see a number of these trees. The
leaf is more-or -less star-sha ped , but the edge has
deeper , smoothe r notches than the Sweet Gum you
learned earlier.
OOGWOOD
RED MAPLE
Jus t past the Maple, you should find a small Dogwood Tree. You will see ma~y and larger specimen s
in the forest , but this is a good one to look at
the leaf. The rounded leaves with promine nt veins
o::cur in pairs- remembe r the pairs as "Buddie s".
You are familiar with the lovely white blossom
seen early each Spring. A red berry appears in the
Autumn. The bark in older trees may remind you of
"alligat or skin". The Dogw.::>-:>d has the hard est,
heavies t wood in the forest . Soon on the right you
will find a ~ l ump of cane . You will see it again
in the forest. It usually grows on hillside s near
water. The wood is e xtremely tough. The Indians had
many uses for cane- arrows, baskets , mats, roofing,
blow guns and darts.
Soon beside the trail you will see patches of vines
some are as tall as you. The ones with th ~ thorns
are Blackbe rry. The smooth vines are Ho.1ey3u ckle,
a native of Asia that is now establis hed thro'.1gh out this country.

�a
stand of Pine trees. Note that
On the left is
one of the largest fell during an ice storm in the
Winter of 1 78- 79~ It will decay and return to the
soil, becoming fertilizer for the next generation.
There are 4 kinds of Pines conunon to our part of
the country: Shortleaf, Longleaf, Loblolly and
Spruce Pine.
1
Further along the trail you will find another
large White Oak. The bark and wood are paler than
most oaks. The leaves are notched and have round
points. Growing at the base of this White Oak is
a small Sweet Gwn. Note again the star-shaped leaf
and the cork wings on the stems.
The smooth-barked tree with the feathery fem-like
leaf is the Mi mosa . A native of Africa , it is seen
often in the city but is unconunon in the forest.
c
Do not leav e the T rail , but wa tch down the hill t o
your right fo r a marked tree. This is the American
Beech. The leaves are similiar to the Elm famil y.
The bark is smooth and is often damaged by carving .
Don ' t do it! The beechnuts are favorites of squirrels and other animals.
You are now at Peckerwood Point , a landmark at
Camp Currier. When long-term Summer camp was at
Currier, the Craft Shack was here. Listen for ~he
tapping of wo8dpeckers. There are 7 species of
woodpecker in our area. The Redheaded is on the
Trail Patch. The Pileated is as big as a Crow and
has a crest. You may see the Red-bellied, the
Hairy, the Downy, the Yellowshafted Flicker, or the
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
Stay to the left side of the trail. On the right
side of the trail there is a bee-tree. This red
oak has a hollow which is occupied by a hive of
honey bees. Do be careful.
Looking out over the lake you should ide ntify turtles. The swirling water in the shallows marks
the s p a wning beds of blue gill bream.

�Below you is Hemker Lake. This lake was once
beautiful and deep. It has been filled in by
silt from erosion. You can see here the process
by which a lake becomes a meadow and the meadow
becomes a forest. This lake was made by man damming streams. Beavers do the same thing. Across
the lake to the right of the dam you may make out
the remains of an old beaver lodge. It looks like
a pile of poles and was the home of a beaver family. Later you will see Shepherd Lake, just off
Scout property. Hemker Lake was once as beautiful
as Shepherd Lake.
The Trail goes steeply down hill and then cuts
back sharply to the right following the old
shoreline. Just at the turn, notice a Water
Oak.
Just past the Water Oak is a stump
showing how bea\ters cut down trees. Follow the
trail carefully along the face of the ridge until you find the crossover through the meadow.
The predominant plant in this meadow is the
Jewelweed. Its leaves crushed and rubbed on the
skin will stop the itch of poison ivy or sunburn. It bears a bright orange blossom in the
Summer and Autumn. If you do <lot see Ruby-throated
Hummingbirds today, come back in September. This
meadow collects a large flock of the beautiful
little hummingbirds who feast here on the Jewelweed nectar in preparation for flying across the
Gulf of Mexico to winter in South America.
In the meadow across the stream is a clump of
small trees. Most of them ' are Staghorn Sumac.
They have compound leaves and in the Fall and
Winter they show a clump of dry red berries. The
berries are edible or can be made into Sumac-adebut not very tasty. Sumacs are one of the first
trees to colonize an open area and thereby are
pioneers in plant succession, the conversion of
a meadow to a forest.

In this clump are Cotton wood and Sycam ore trees .
Both like to live near water . The Cotton wood leaf
is large, rough ly triang ular, with jagged edges .
The seeds are f loated on a puff of cotton , hence
the name.
The Sycam ore leave is very large, like a giant maple leaf. The seeds are like dande lion seeds but
in a puff ball. On older trees the bark peels off
Jn many layers leavin g a white skinne d trunk .
In this area look for severa l small Box Elder s. The
leav es look exactl y like poison ivy b~t the plant,
here a small tree, grows to mediu m-big tree size.
Leavin g the meadow , foll01n· t he Traii to your left
along the old sho r eline toward the dam. Before
reachi ng the dam you should l ocate the pile of
s ticks and limbs w~1ich was the roof of th~ house
(or lodge) of the b ea ve r . Walk along the darn to the
place where it is broke ~. In Spring 1980 the beavers return ed and b~ilt a small dam here . This ha s
ra ised the level of the lake.
You wi ll find a medium tree before you get to the
beave r h~t ch , and anothe r like it, the last tree on
the dam, rig':Jt a t tho: stream and beave r dam.
This is the Pri ncess tree. The leaves are very big
and h ea rt s haped . Purple blosso ms appea r in the
. Spring and cluste rs of brown seed- pods a re seen all
Winte r. This native of China is well estab lished
here.
Care ful ly c ros s the break in the dam right at the
water line . The Trail go es up hill back into the
forest . Look for large grape vines near the top. Do
you see Beech trees? In the middle of the Trail is
a repre senta tive Red Maple . Look around , you will
7
�see several more. The leaf is more-or-less starshaped but the edge has deeper smoother notches
than the Sweet Gum you learned earlier. Further
along the Trail and to the right you will see a
large tree which has many woodpecker holes. The
largest were made by the Pileated Woodpecker, a
rare woodpecker as large as a Crow. It is black
with a red, black, and white face, and a red topknot.
On this section of Trail you will see two trees
with similar names and similar leaves. The American Hornbeam has very smooth bark and the trunk
looks like it has "muscles" (remember "Arnericanmuscles" . The Hophornbeam has long thin strips of
fine bark which will "hop" off the trunk if you
rub it . The bark of these trees is the best way to
identify these two. The leaves are very similar and
l ook just like an Elm leaf.
As you reach the top of the hill, the clearing, and
the road, you will have the opportunity to show
what you have learned.
How many kinds of Pine are common in the Mid-South?
The next tree has star-shaped leaves and a rough
ball. What is it?
This tree has smooth b a rk and muscles. What is its
name?
This tall tree has a leaf and blossom shaped like
its name. What is it7
Stop for a rest at the Troop 27 cabin. _ You will see
several evergreens with red wood and a distinctive
smell. They are Redcedar trees.
Proceed along the old road (this is the West Road)
until you come to a cleared area on the right. In
this area are Adirondack shelters, named after the
mountains where they were developed. They are open
and cool in the Summer. In the Winter the reflector
fireplace warms the shelter but lets the smoke escape. Go in to the cleared area, the Trail exits at
8
'·
�the far end. Along the right edge of the clearing
you should indentify Sweet Gum, Yellow (Tulip)
Poplar, Dogwood. The Trail leaves the clearing at
the marked shelter. Follow the Trail downhill. In
the soft ground at the foot look for tracks of
deer and raccoone
The Trail goes up to the left to the Shepherd Lake
overlook. Below you see Shepherd Lake. A man-made
dam produced this lake. Hemker Lake was once this
beautiful. Stay away from the steep banks. Shepherd Lake is a private lake outside the Camp Currier property. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TRY TO APPROACH
IT.
This area is overgrown with Kudzu. Kudzu is a vine
from Asia. It covers the ground (and everything
else) and prevents it from washing away. Kudzu prevents erosion but kills all other vegetation in
its path, even mighty trees. Kudzu dies with the
first frost. While overlooking Shepherd Lake you
may identify a tall dead tree to the right of a
large clump of trees. This is a favorite haunt of
ttie Redheaded Woodpeckers. Look for th2ir red heads
and black wing with white patch. Listen for the
thin high voice of the Peewee as it calls its name
to you. Watch for Cardinals everywhere in the forest.
Look for an old chimney. The Trail resumes here and
returns to the West Road. We will go several hundred yards on the West Road (to your right) to a
turnoff that goes to the right. Follow this, taking its left fork, passing Troop 34 ' s cabin, and
down the hill to Clay Cliff. Notice how steep this
bluff i s . The stream has eroded its base . Erosion
is relatively you:-ig here. You should see fish and
frogs i n the stream.
Backtrack to West Road. Just before reaching the
ranger 1 s house, you will find on your l eft anothe r
specimen of the State Tree of Tennesse e . What is
it? In front of the ranger 1 s house, take a left
on the gravel road, down and up th2 hill. Take the
left fork at Indian Meadow, a favorit e camping area
Along thr::! road, by the water pump, yo:.i will find
9
�several trees with smooth leaves and checkerb oard
bark. Their orange fruit is called· what? Indian
Meadow is a favorite haunt of the Red-head ed and
the Red-bel lied Woodpec ker,· s o ke~p your eyes and

fo llow the Trai l thro ugh t~e camps ites back in the
corner, and then down the hill to Nature Lane. Follow Nature Lane to your right to Suicide Cliff.
Along the way you will see several kinds o f fern.
The easiest to learn is Christm as Fern. It is a n
e vergre e n and used f o r decorati ons at Chris tmaa .
Each leaflet is shape d like a little Christma s
s tocking . A l arge y ellowish -gree n fern i s BROAD

Fo llowing Nature Lane, take a left across the
s tream to find famous Suicide Cliff. Twenty- five
y e ars ago this wa s steeper than Cl ay Cli ff seen
earli e r. Er osion h as worn it down. The dirt from
Suici de is now part of t h e meadow that was once
Hemke r Lake. Backtrac k to Nature Lane and find the
ma rked T ra il that goes up the hill. Past the clearings you will find a water pump and the main central
gravel road. To your left, within sight is Tomahaw k
Dining Hal l where you started.
Before boarding your ca ~ , check all your Scouts for
ousand ticks carries the
ticks. One in one hundred
germ of Rocky Mountain Spott~d Fever. The tick must
feed on a human for several hours before it can
transmi t the germ, so if you get the ticks right off
now, you should have nothing to worry about.

' fltfL(
. PECKERWOOD NATURE TRAIL
-The Peckerwood Nature. Trail is located in
Scout Camp Currier, property of Chickasaw
Council, BSA. The camp is ' off Mississippi
Highway 304, just west of Eudora·. See map.
The Trail starts and ends iat the Tomahawk
Dining Hall on the main central road. You
may park in this area. The Trail is approximately
3 miles long, in a loop. Allow 2
hours hiking time. The Trail is marked with
a Wolf's head painted on trees. The first
half .of the Trail will introduce you to tree
identification. The second half will quiz
you on these same trees. Other points of
nature lore will be described but not quizzed.
I:: ;;,articular, changes in the environment due
to natural forces will be observed. Use this
Trail as a Nature lesson. Snakes are not often
seen in Camp Currier, but do be careful.
Everywhere you will see Poison Ivy. It grows
as a small plant, a bush, or as a vine. Learn
to identify it. The leaves are in 3's as:
POISON IVY VIRGINIA CREERER
Any plant with white berries is to be avoided
(poison ivy and poison sumac}. Any tree with
red berries is safe to touch (dogwood, holly,
shiny sumac, staghorn sumac). "Berries white,
poisonous sight." You should identify also
Virginia Creeper everywhere. It is a small
plant or vine with leaves in groups of 5's,
smaller and darker than poison ivy. Look for
it on the ground and growing up trees. It is
not poisonous.
Let us begin. Immediately across the road from
the dining hall is a line of Oak trees. The
leaves are deeply notched. The points between
the notches are pointed in the Red Oak and
rounded in the White Oak. :L
RED OAK WHITE
A much smaller tree along this roadside is the
Sassafras. Many very young ones are growing in
a cut-over area right at the roadside just across
from the front door of the dining hall. Notice
the leaves are of three shapes:
very
used
SASSAFRAS
The leaves,
bark, stems,
and roots have
a distinctive,
smell. The roots were once
root beer. You will encounter
Sassafras trees throughout the
YELLOW POPLAR
Soon on your right, just as you enter the meadow,
you will see a very big tree at the edge of the
forest. This is a Yellow Poplar or Tulip Poplar
tree . The trunk is very straight. In younger specimens
the bark is smooth. The l eaf is shaped lik e
a tulip. In the spring there are tulip-shaped
blossoms of green, yellow , and orange. This is the
State Tree of Tennessee . Before the arrival of civilization,
the Yellow Poplar was the most common
big tree east of the Mississippi River. This particular
specimen is not as straight and wellformed
as most. The large hole in the trunk shows ·
that it was injured by fire when it was young.
2
Look closely for rows of small holes made by
woodpeckers.
SWEET GUM
In the clump of trees at the head of the meadow,
by the concrete slab, are several trees to learn.
One has leaves in the shape of a S-pointed star.
Boys are usually familiar with the seed-burr or
gumball. This is the Red Gum or
~- - - - . Sweet Gum. Some specimens will
~ have cork "wings" along the stemslook
for them.
A smaller tree in this clump has heart-shaped
leaves. This is the Redbud (remember heart-shapedred
blood- redbud). Early in the Spring these
trees produce a bright purple blossom, seen best
in cultivated varieties in the city.
A tall tree in this clump is the Persirrmon. It
has long, smooth, slightly irregular leaves. Note
the "ch~ckP.t"board " appearance of the bark. The
wood ir very hard. In the Autumn a fleshy orange
fruit is produced which is a favorite of the opossw~
1 and other animals.
fltD 8C4 0 PERSIMMON
3
Also in this clump you will find a big American
Elm. The leaves are smallish and have a sawtoothed
edge.
AMERICAN ELM
Follow the Trail into the forest. Soon on your
right you will find a Red Maple marked. Look
around , you will see a number of these trees. The
leaf is more-or-less star-shaped, but the edge has
deeper, smoother notches than the Sweet Gum you
learned earlier.
OOGWOOD RED MAPLE
Jus t past the Maple, you should find a small Dogwood
Tree. You will see ma~y and larger specimen s
in the forest , but this is a good one to look at
the leaf. The rounded leaves with prominent veins
o::cur in pairs- remember the pairs as "Buddies".
You are familiar with the lovely white blossom
seen early each Spring. A red berry appears in the
Autumn. The bark in older trees may remind you of
"alligator skin". The Dogw.::>-:>d has the hard est,
heaviest wood in the forest . Soon on the right you
will find a ~ l ump of cane . You will see it again
in the forest. It usually grows on hillsides near
water. The wood is e xtremely tough. The Indians had
many uses for cane- arrows, baskets, mats, roofing,
blow guns and darts.
Soon beside the trail you will see patches of vines
some are as tall as you. The ones with th ~ thorns
are Blackberry. The smooth vines are Ho.1ey3uckle,
a native of Asia that is now established thro'.1ghout
this country.
4
On the left is a stand of Pine trees. Note that
one of the largest fell during an ice storm in the
Winter of 1 78- 1 79~ It will decay and return to the
soil, becoming fertilizer for the next generation.
There are 4 kinds of Pines conunon to our part of
the country: Shortleaf, Longleaf, Loblolly and
Spruce Pine.
Further along the trail you will find another
large White Oak. The bark and wood are paler than
most oaks. The leaves are notched and have round
points. Growing at the base of this White Oak is
a small Sweet Gwn. Note again the star-shaped leaf
and the cork wings on the stems.
The smooth-barked tree with the feathery fem-like
leaf is the Mi mosa . A native of Africa , it is seen
often in the city but is unconunon in the forest.
c Do not leav e the T rail , but wa tch down the hill t o
your right fo r a marked tree. This is the American
Beech. The leaves are similiar to the Elm famil y.
The bark is smooth and is often damaged by carving .
Don ' t do it! The beechnuts are favorites of squirrels
and other animals.
You are now at Peckerwood Point, a landmark at
Camp Currier. When long-term Summer camp was at
Currier, the Craft Shack was here. Listen for ~he
tapping of wo8dpeckers. There are 7 species of
woodpecker in our area. The Redheaded is on the
Trail Patch. The Pileated is as big as a Crow and
has a crest. You may see the Red-bellied, the
Hairy, the Downy, the Yellowshafted Flicker, or the
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
Stay to the left side of the trail. On the right
side of the trail there is a bee-tree. This red
oak has a hollow which is occupied by a hive of
honey bees. Do be careful.
Looking out over the lake you should ide ntify turtles.
The swirling water in the shallows marks
the s p a wning beds of blue gill bream.

Council .Expresses Sympathy
Over Executive's De~th
We of the Chickasaw Council
professional and office staff wish
to take this opportunity to
express our gratitude to the
many persons that have called,
sent cards, or in any way
expressed their sorrow and
sympathy at the d eath of our
Scout Ex ec utiv e, Ralph K.
Manus, ,Jr.
Steps have already been
taken in the procedure of
securing and selecting , a new
Scout Executive for our council.
Ralph was loved by many
and his loss will be felt by many
in the council. Possibly his
greatest legacy will be the
thousands of young men that
have grown in the Scouting
program as a result of his efforts.
Though sadden by his death
we pledge our continued efforts to
Halph K. Manus, .Jr.
all units of the Chickasaw
Council to make your Scouting
program, as Ralph would have
said, , "The Greatest Show In
Town."
United Way Support
As Shelby United Neighbors / United Way of Memphis
kicks-off its annual campaign,
it's good to pause and r~flect on
its support on Scouting. As a
JJnited Way agency , the
Chickasaw Council
receives
approximately 40 1!1c1 of its annual
operating budget from S. U.N.
And that's service to boys .
Whether United Way monies
are used for Cub Training Kits,
purchasing of handbooks, or
camp ·scholarships for needy
Scouts, we're better equipped "to
do our best for boys because of
Shelby United Neighbors." And,
after all, that's the only reason
any of us are involved in
Scouting.
Under the United Way
umbrella are scores of agencies
working hard for community
betterment. We encourage every
Scouter to support the United
Way by being a fair share giver.
Your gift helps /Scouting and
your community.

are looking forward to great accomplishments. The Northeast District

A WORD FROM JIM
As you all know, I have just had the pleasure of attending the
National Executive Institute in Dallas, Texas. It was a very rewarding
learning experience I cannot relate to you how beneficial my
experience in Dallas was so that I may serve you in a more efficient
manner in the future.
As usual for myself to serve you , I need your continued input and
assistance. I am glad to be home and back at work! Let's not forget that
we are all members of a movement and that movement is for the
BOYS!
Eagle A ward Qualifica tions
Purpose:
Provide an application and
procedure whereby Life Scouts
with severe physical or mental
handicaps may pursue the Eagle
progress award.
Background:
Previous National Executive
Board action eliminated age
restrictions relating to membership and advancement for the
severely physically handicapped, blind, deaf, emotionally
disturbed, and mentally
retarded.
Committee Action:
Action was taken by the
national Boy Scout committee on
February 7, 1979, to establish
" Guidelines for Advancement to
Eagle Progress Award for
Physically and Mentally Handi capped Scouts," as proposed by
the Boy Scout Advancement subcommittee, utilizing input from
the National Advisory Committee on Scouting for the
Handicapped, and approved by
the national Executive Board on
February 8, 1979, as recommended by the Program Group
committee.
Guidelines:
1. The Eagle progress award
may be achieved by a Scout with
a physical or mental disability
by qualifying for alternate merit
badges. This does not apply to
individual requirements for
merit badges. These merit
badges are awarded only when
all requirements are met as
stated.
2. The Scout must complete
as many of the required merit
badges as his ability permits
oefore applying for an alternate
merit badge.
3. The Scout must qualify for
as many of the requirements of
the required merit badges as his
ability permits .
4. The alternate merit badges
chosen must be of such a nature
that they are as demanding of
effort as the required merit
badges . ..

Eagle Award .Qualifications
Continued from page 3
9. The application must be
approved by the council
committee responsible for advancement, utilizing the
expertise of professional persons
involved in Scouting for the
handicapped.
Council Action
We still believe that all
Scouts qualifying for the
progress awards must be able to
perform the requirements and
have the skills . This enables a
Scout tu carry out a part of our
Oath or Promise "to help other
people at all times." However,
this new process will provide
Scouts having severe handicaps
with alternate requirements to
earn the Eagle Award.
Scout through First Class
progress awards presently
accommodate Scouts with
handicaps. When a requirement
is impossible to achieve within
the early progress awards
because of handicaps, existing
guidelines for the handicapped
provide for reasonable accommodation and common sense.

Council . Expresses Sympathy
Over Executive's De~th
We of the Chickasaw Council
professional and office staff wish
to take this opportunity to
express our gratitude to the
many persons that have called,
sent cards, or in any way
e xpressed their sorrow and
sympathy at the death of our
Scout Ex ec utiv e, Ralph K .
Manus, ,Jr.
Steps have already been
taken in the procedure of
securing and selecting , a new
Scout Executive for our council.
Ralph was loved by many
and his loss will be felt by many
in the council. Possibly his
greatest legacy will be the
thousands of young men that
have grown in the Scouting
program as a result of his efforts.
Though sadden by his death
we pledge our continued efforts to
Halph K. Manus, .Jr.
all units of the Chickasaw
Council to make your Scouting
program, as Ralph would have
said, , "The Greatest Show In
Town."
United Way Support
As Shelby United Neighbors
/ United Way of Memphis
kicks-off its annual campaign,
it's good to pause and r~flect on
its support on Scouting. As a
JJnited Way agency , the
Chickasaw Council receives
approximately 401
!1c1 of its annual
operating budget from S. U.N.
And that's service to boys .
Whether United Way monies
are used for Cub Training Kits,
purchasing of handbooks, or
camp ·scholarships for needy
Scouts, we're better equipped "to
do our best for boys because of
Shelby United Neighbors." And,
after all, that's the only reason
any of us are involved in
Scouting.
Under the United Way
umbrella are scores of agencies
working hard for community
betterment. We encourage every
Scouter to support the United
Way by being a fair share giver.
Your gift helps /Scouting and
your community.

A WORD FROM JIM
As you all know, I have just had the pleasure of attending the
National Executive Institute in Dallas, Texas. It was a very rewarding
learning experience I cannot relate to you how beneficial my
experience in Dallas was so that I may serve you in a more efficient
manner in the future.
As usual for myself to serve you , I need your continued input and
assistance. I am glad to be home and back at work! Let's not forget that
we are all members of a movement and that movement is for the
BOYS!
Eagle A ward Qualifications
Purpose:
Provide an application and
procedure whereby Life Scouts
with severe physical or mental
handicaps may pursue the Eagle
progress award.
Background:
Previous National Executive
Board action eliminated age
restrictions relating to membership
and advancement for the
severely physically handicapped,
blind, deaf, emotionally
disturbed, and mentally
retarded.
Committee Action:
Action was taken by the
national Boy Scout committee on
February 7, 1979, to establish
" Guidelines for Advancement to
Eagle Progress Award for
Physically and Mentally Handicapped
Scouts, " as proposed by
the Boy Scout Advancement subcommittee,
utilizing input from
the National Advisory Committee
on Scouting for the
Handicapped, and approved by
the national Executive Board on
February 8, 1979, as recommended
by the Program Group
committee.
Guidelines:
1. The Eagle progress award
may be achieved by a Scout with
a physical or mental disability
by qualifying for alternate merit
badges. This does not apply to
individual requirements for
merit badges. These merit
badges are awarded only when
all requirements are met as
stated.
2 . The Scout must complete
as many of the required merit
badges as his ability permits
oefore applying for an alternate
merit badge.
3. The Scout must qualify for
as many of the requirements of
the required merit badges as his
ability permits.
4. The alternate merit badges
chosen must be of such a nature
that they are as demanding of
effort as the required merit
badges . ..

Eagle Award .Qualifications
Continued from page 3
9. The application must be
approved by the council
committee responsible for advancement,
utilizing the
expertise of professional persons
involved in Scouting for the
handicapped.
Council Action
We still believe that all
Scouts qualifying for the
progress awards must be able to
perform the requirements and
have the skills. This enables a
Scout tu carry out a part of our
Oath or Promise "to help other
people at all times." However,
this new process will provide
Scouts having severe handicaps
with alternate requirements to
earn the Eagle Award.
Scout through First Class
progress awards presently
accommodate Scouts with
handicaps. When a requirement
is impossible to achieve within
the early progress awards
because of handicaps, existing
guidelines for the handicapped
provide for reasonable accommodation
and common sense.

Plans for the annual Chickasaw Council Cub Scout
Pow Wow, that fun-filled day of adult leader's learning, are
well undtrway. Heading up the Pow Wow '79 staff is
DeLane Cox, Eastern District Pack :1;3~{
Two dates will be offered for this year's fun-day. On
November 10th the Pow Wow will be held at Mullins
Methodist Church at Walnut Grove and Mendenhall Hoad
in East Memphis. On November 17th the Pow Wow will he
held at Trinity United Methodist Church at 17:~H Galloway
in midtown near Overton Park.
Each session will begin at 9 a.m. and end at :J::rn p.m.
Hegistration fee will he $4.00 per person before November
7th, and $5.00 per person after that date and on the day of
Pow Wow. The fees will include Pow Wow Book, materials,
patch, and a catered lunch. Baby sitting will he available at
a nominal fee, hut must be pre-registered with adults.
Each Adult Cubber may choose to go to the one Pow
Wow that best suits his or her schedule and location. Both
programs will be identical in content and staff.
"We are offering the two dates and locations in order to
accommodate as many leaders as possible," emphasized
Mrs. Cox .
This year's Pow Wow's are taking on a different look in
other ways, too, than those of recent years. The other major
·change, besides the choice of which Pow Wow a person ma:v
\
\
\
/
attend, is the centralization of the Pow Wow staff,
according to Margurite Goslowsky, Council Cub Training
Chairman. The central staff will conduct the two Pow Wow

AIMS AND METHOD S
OF THE SCOUTIN G
PROGRA M
The Scouting program has
th _re e s p e ci f i c oh j e ct i v es ,
commonly referred to as the
"Aims of Scouting." They are
charactt•r developme nt, citizenship training, and personal
fitness.
The methods by which the
aims are achieved are listed
below in random order to
emphasize the equal importance
of each.
Ideals. The ideals of Boy
Seouting are spelled out in the
Scout Oath, the Scout Law.
motto, and slogan. The Scout
measures himself against these
ideals and continually tries to
improve. The goals are high, and,
as hP reaehes for them, he has
some control ovPr what ht>
becomes.
Patrols. The patrol method
gives Hoy Sl'outs <in experienee
in group living and participati ng
citizenship . [t places a certain
amount of responsibil ity on
young shoulders . and tei1<"hes
hoys how to aecept it. The patrol
method allows Scouts to act in
Kmu.11 · groupH w!iere ·they .can
easily n•latt• to Pach other. Thl'Sl'
small groups determine troop
activities through their elected
represen ta ti ves.
Outdoor l'roRram. Boy
·Scouting is desiJ!nt>d to take
place out.doors. It is in tht>
outdoors that Scouts shart>
responsibil ities and learn to live
with eaC'h other. [ t. is here that the
skills and aeti vi ties practiced i\t
troop meetings come alive with
purposP. Being dose to nature
helps Hoy Scouts gain an
appreciatio n for (;od's handiwork and mankind's placein it.
The outdoors is the laboratory for
Hoy Scouts to learn ecology and
practice conservati on of nature'."
rl'SOU f('('S.
Aduanc1'me11t. Roy Scouting
provides a series of 1o1urmountable obstacles and steps to
overcome them through the
advancem ent method. The Boy
·Scout plans his advanceme nt
arid progresses at . his own pace
as he ovnC'omes eac'h challenge.
The Hoy Scout is rewarded for
each achieveme nt. which helps
him gain self-r{'lianc e and the
ability to help others.
Adult Malt• Associatio n.
Boys learri from tht:• t•xample of
their adult lead('rs. In his quest
for manhood . every hoy needs
contact with mt>ri ht• drn c<)py.
The Seoutmas tt•r and his
assistants provide a masculine
image of tht> vitality and virility
of Roy Scouting. Providing good
exnmplt•s of manhood is one of
the methods of Roy &·outing.

The Boy Scout program
enC"ourages hoys to learn and
practice leadership skills. Every
Hoy Scout has the opportunit y to
participate in hoth shared and
total . leadership situations .
Understan ding th(' concepts of
leadership helps a hoy accept the
leadership role of others and
guides him toward the
citizenship aim of Scouting.
Uni(urm. The uniform
makes the Hoy Scout troop
visible as a force for good and
creates a positive youth image in
the community . Boy Scouting is
an action program. and wearing
thP uniform is an action that
shows eaeh Hoy Scout's commitment to the aims and purposes of
Scouting. The uniform gives the
Roy Scout identity in a world
brotherhoo d of youth who believe
in the same ideals. The uniform
is practical attire for Boy Scout
activities and provides a way for
Roy Scouts to wear the badges
that show what they have
accomplish ed .

and resourcefulness ; have
person a l values hased on
religious concepts; ha ve the
desire and skills to help others;

American social, economic, and
governme ntal systems; a r e
knowledgea ble ahout and take

in the world; have a keen respect
fo~ the hasic rights of all people;
and are prepared to participa te in
and give leadership to American
society.

goals. Sponsors include
professional organizations.
gove rnment b<>dies, a nd
religious. educational. civic,
fra ternal, business, lahor and

AIMS AND METHODS
OF THE SCOUTING
PROGRAM
The Scouting program has
three spec ific ohjective s ,
commonly referred to as the
"Aims of Scouting." They a re
cha·racter de velopment, citizenship
training, and personal
fitness.
The methods hy which the
aims a re achieved are listed
helow in random order to
emphasize the equal importance
of each.
Ideals. The ideals of Boy
Seouting are spelled out in the
Scout Oath, the Scout Law.
motto, and slogan. The Scout
measures himself against these
ideals and <«>ntinually t ries to
improve. The goals are high, and,
as he reaches for them, he has
some control ovt>r what he
hecomes.
Patrols. The patrol method
gives Hoy Scouts an experience
in group living and participating
citizenship. It places a certain
amount of responsihility on
young shoulders and tea<'hes
hoys how to accept it. The patrol
method allows Scouts to act in
small groups where they can
easily n .. latt• to t•ach other. These
small groups determine troop
activities through their elected
represen ta ti ves.
Outdoor l'ropram . Boy
·Scouting is designed to take
place outdoors. H is in tht>
outd<Kirs that S<·outs - sharl'
responsihilities and learn· to live
with ea<'h other. It is here that.the
skills and a<:tivities practiced at
troop meetings come ·alive with
purpose. Heing dose to nature
helps Hoy Scouts gain an
appreciation for Cod's handiwork
and mankind's place in it.
Tht-outdoors is the lahoratory for
Hoy Scouts to learn e<·ology and
practice conservation of nature's
resou r<·es.
Adl'ancement. Roy Scouting
provides a series of ~urmountable0
ob::;tacles a nd steps to
overcome them through the
. advancement method. The Boy
S<:out plans his advancement
and prog.resses at his own pace
as he overcomes eaC'h challenge.
The Hoy Seout is rewarded for
each achievement. which ·helps
him gain self-relian<'e and the
ahility to help others.

Understanding the concepts of

leadership role of others and
guides him toward the
<'itizenship aim of Scouting.
Un iform. The uniform
makes the Hoy Scout troop
visihle as a force for good and
creat es a positive youth image in
the community. Hoy Scouting is
an a ction program. and wearing
the uniform is an action tha t
shows eaeh Hoy Scout's commitment
to t he aims and purposes of
S<'outing. Th(• uniform gives the
Hoy Scout identity in a world
hrotherhood of youth who helieve
in the same ideals. The uniform
, is practical attire for Boy Scout
activities and provides a way for
Roy Scouts to wear the badges
that show what they have
accomplis hed.

BASIC CONCEPTS
Apart from the fun and
e x c iteme nt of Cuh Scout
a«tivities. there are a number of
ideals expressed in the day-tod
ay life of the young ho~· and his
INldl'rs.
Cuh Scout l'romise:
I. <name). promise to do my best
To do m~· duty to God and my
country.
To help other people. a nd
To ohey the (.aw of the Pack.
The I.aw of the Pack:
The Cub Scout follows Akela {his
leade r)
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout
grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.
The Cub 8cout motto is, "Do Your
Hest."
The Cub Scout colors are
blue and gold . Blue signi~es the
sky. truth. spiritually. and
loyalty. Gold stands for warm
sunlight. good cheer. and
h a ppi ness. T ogether they
symbolize wha t Cub Scouting is
a ll a bout.
An Olympic Size Good Turn
Would you like to help the
Unites Sta tes Olympic Team and
at the same time make yourself
more physically fit?
Cuh Scouts. Boy Scouts.
Explorers. and adult lea ders ean
earn a colorful Olympie p atch by
p a rti c ipa ting in the R8A
" Olympic 'l't•am (;ood Turn, .. a
national program jointly sponsored
by the Roy _ Scouts of
America and Coca-Cola U.S.A.
Noone has to win any kind of
event to qua lify. No contest is
involved in th is specific proj!ram.
To he eligible for the patch. each
of you who ta kes part must
contribute one dollar to the U.S.
Olympic team and be involved in
a physical fitness activity that is
challenging for you.
For doing these two things,
Coca-Cola U.S.A. will give you a
patch similar to the one shown on
page one. The whole idea -is to
help support our Olympic team.
which must have donations to
pay for .training camps. trials,
and the actual Olympics competition.
Participa tion in the Olympic
Team G~1 i1d Tum by members of
the BSA will h elp our members
a nd the public to be more a ware of
the Boy Scouts of. America 's
emphasis on service to others and
pride in America.
. [n addition. Cub Scouts, Hoy
Scouts, and Explorers should
invite friends to participate along
with them in the Olympic Team
Good Turn: Non Scouts who do
can a lso qualify for the patch.
Any friend that you personally
invite to participate should also
be asked to join your unit. The
program continues until ,July
1980.
The real winners are not only
the Olympic athletes. but those of
you who take time to give of your
own money, not money you have
solicited, to help our U.S. athletes
t a ke a shot at winning a medal in
the World Olympic Games.
Each· unit. of course. can
deeide what c·onstitutes a
challenging physicial activity.
There a re. as you'll see, a wide
variety of chokes. so that none of
your memhers need he on the
sidelines.
