In this session, leaders will be able to learn the fine art of creating fire. Our skilled instructors will teach friction methods such as, the bow drill, hand drill, and the fire saw. Demonstrations will also take place on how to build fire with flint and steel, battery and steel wool, wire coat hangers, and the fire piston. This is a wonderful opportunity for leaders to learn a skill that can be passed along to their Scouts. First Aid/CPR All BSA Lifeguard candidates will have the opportunity to complete their CPR requirement while at camp. A six-hour course will be offered to these candidates. Adult leaders who choose to go through the training may fill the extra spaces in the session. There is a $25 fee payable to the proffesional instructors from Spring River Ambulance Service. ADVANCEMENT Often, adults in camp bring with them special knowledge or skills that would be beneficial to various merit badge sessions. If any adult would like to assist with a merit badge—or offer one not on the schedule-please see the Program Director at the Sunday Leaders’ Meeting. Also, adults are needed to help with transportation for the field trips, and the Ozark Venture Base sessions. 2012 Leaders’ Guide to Summer Camp 44 visit www.kiakima.com !

Summer camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. TIPS Other than some basic items, different people and units will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect week at camp and bring items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the week fishing don’t forget to bring your rod and tackle box. To help you keep from forgetting those important items, we have a list on the previous page to help you with your packing. ! No pets of any kind or fireworks are allowed in camp. This is BSA policy.

This system will be explained at the leaders' meeting on the first evening you are in camp, and a test of the system will be conducted early in the 2012 �~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~© session. Somefirefightingequipment (rakes, shovels, fire buckets) is available in each campsite, or from the Quartermaster. If there is an emergency, this equipment will be used by members ofthe camp staff. This equipment is not to be used by Scouts. Scouts do not fight fires under any circumstances. Under no circumstances shall flames of any kind be used in any tent. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames in Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front ofthe tent. Flashlights or battery-powered lanterns-which do not pose the threat of fire or asphyxiation-are the only acceptable light for use in tents. + it---::-----::--~~~-------------' Camp rules & hints • • • • • • • • Liquid & LP Fuels Liquid-fueled equipment (kerosene, gasoline, white gas, etc.) is to be used only by adults. Lanterns or stoves may be used at campsites, under adult supervision. Empty propane cylinders should be taken home with the pack and not placed in fueplaces or trashcans, as they may explode when heated. ii- - - - - ' • • • Dangerous Wildlife Kia Kima is a Wilderness Setting. While visiting the out-ofdoors, it is common to encounter various forms ofwildlife. Dangerous wildlife at Kia Kimacould include: venomous snakes, spiders, ticks, etc. Bites from these animals are extremely rare but precautions should be taken. We will list a few tips to keep you comfortable at camp. • • No riding in the back of trucks. All Scouts riding in a vehicle should have a seat belt and be fastened in. Throwing things at camp, like rocks and sticks, is not pennitted, especially around the lake area and along the river banks in camp. Running in camp should be limited to the open fields and play areas. Kia Kima does not have many flat or level areas on which to run. Roadways and paths are not designed for running. No open-toed shoes like flip flops or sandals except in the shower facility. Bare feet are limited to three places: behind the fenced-in area at the waterfront, in the shower, and in the bed. At all other times, you should have your shoes on. The buddy system means two or more Scouts go everywhere in camp together. Cubs and Webelos should be aware of where their buddy is at all times. Scouts should not be sent to the campsite alone, or on any trip out of a leader's view without a buddy or a leader. Camp is a big place and Scouts often get turned around while walking a common trail, even if they have traveled that way many times before. Any campfire started in the campsite should be completely extinguished before leaving the site for any reason. Unattended fires in camp can be very dangerous. Try to keep knife use to a minimum. Open knives in crowded areas and walking with an open knife pose great dangers. Individuals who have knives should be considerate of others and use those knives safely. If a Scout or leader Please do not cut live trees, no matter how big plans to utilize a or small they are. Walking sticks are sold in personal tent for the camp Trading Post, or may be made from lodging, they should have the tent limbs or trees that are already dead and down. labeled "NO Flames Please do not disfigure the trees, bushes, or in Tents.

'i• Leaders in camp All units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelos and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. This policy is required by the Chickasaw Council. All leaders must be registered members ofthe BSA, and must meet the qualifications for the leadership position in which they serve. The unit leader must be at least 21 years of age. Any additional leaders must be at least 18 years of age. Leaders may rotate when necessary, but at least two adults must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the unit to camp must meet all ofthe above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest ofyour Scouts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack's stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. Forunits bringing5 ormoreScouts, the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional "leaderspace" is $80.00 for the week. Each leader-space provides meals, tentage, and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. Units that rotate leaders during the week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the session. For example, one leader might stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one leader-space and pay only $80.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one leader-space. Additional patches are available for purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number ofleaders staying in camp at any one time. however, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire session, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading Post. Packs with a high ratio ofleaders to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure that there is enough tent space for everyone. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide n: + 2012 For units bringing 5 or more Scouts the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. �lfl Correspondence lf l Transportation A11 resident camp correspondence and registration material should be sent to the Council Office until the middle of May.

Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup truck or trailer-whether it is covered or uncovered-is against the policy of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica, as well as poor judgment. In addition, units visiting Kia Kiina from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area to the northeast ofthe Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during the week. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box wi11 provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end ofthis guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed to operate during sessions. Pack vehicles will be allowed into camp during check-in and check-out for the purposes ofloading and unloading ofpersonal and pack equipment.

Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to camp will need to change into swim trunks for the camp tour. Remember that a shirt, and shoes with covered heel and toe, must be worn while in camp. The Camp Guide will take the pack on a tour ofcamp, pointing out camp landmarks and the various program areas. There are a couple ofrequired stops, such as the Aquatics area, and the Dining Hall. Even ifthe pack has completed swim checks prior to camp, they still must visit with the Aquatics Staff for safety procedures. It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up a fireguard chart and other equipment you may need in your campsite. After the tour, the pack may return to the campsite. This is a good time to get settled and prepare for supper. The Scout uniform is required for all evening meals and campfires. + Check-in Upon arriving at camp the first thing the Cubmaster should do is report to the Administration Building with an assistant. Here they will meet the camp administrative staff. At this time, the Cubmaster should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, Scout schedules, and any unpaid fees as determined on the Financial Summary Form. The assistant should have the pack's medical forms and written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A Camp Guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the assistant leader will take the unit to the assigned campsite to begin set up and for the health recheck. The assistant leader should have the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check form. Everyone, youth and adult, must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure that no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health recheck will occur shortly after arrival, so all members are encouraged to arrive at camp at the same time. The Cubmaster should account for any Scout or adult who will arrive late. Jft Leaders' meetings A meeting ofkey leaders will be held on the afternoon ofthe opening day after vespers at the Chapel. At this meeting, members of the camp staffwill give an overview ofcamp policies and procedures, and special program activities that will be offered during the week. Also, an opportunity wi11 be provided to answer questions. In addition, leaders' meetings will be held each morning after breakfast. At this meeting, Cubmasters will get the opportunity to ask questions, and get updates on any special events going on in camp. The daily newsletter will be distributed atthis meeting. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 �~~~~~~~~~~~~~----© ;:i: •ii Quartermaster In addition to what is in the campsite, the camp provides equipment through the camp Quartermaster. The Quartermaster is located beside the Trading Post. Items such as brooms, water hoses, cleaning agents, tools and American flags are available for checkout. These items must be retumedclean and in good condition-before the pack checks out at the end oftheir session. Packs are welcome to bring their own items (as listed above) from home. •;i Tentage Generally speaking, all packs will be housed in standard two-person wall tents. These tents have wooden floors with steel beds and vinyl covered mattresses. If your pack wants to bring its own tentage to camp, this is permitted. Two-deep leadership rules still apply and adults cannot stay in tents with Scouts. The only possible exception is when a parent stays in the tent with his or her son. Ifyour pack chooses to bring a portion ofits own tents, please be sure that you communicate this to the resident Camp Director, as space for these tents can become a consideration. Ifa Scout or leader plans to utilize his or her own tents for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames In Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front ofthe tent. lfi uniform After the meal, the Officer of the Day usually has some important announcements for the camp. We ask that all Scouts remain in the dining hall until dismissed by the staff The waiter system is used in the dining hall for setting the tables and cleaning up after meals. It is important to stop at the dining hall during the camp tour for a demonstration of how the waiter system works. Some people have special dietary needs. We will work the best we can in accommodating these needs with the food that we have available. Dietary supplements should be brought from home for specific dietary requirements. The official Cub Scout summer field uniform is recommended for wear by both youth and adults while in camp. This uniform-commonly referred to as Class A uniform-is to be worn to supper each evening and to campwide activities such as campfires and Vespers. The Class B uniform consists of Scout shorts and a Scouting t-shirt and may be worn at all other times during camp. Since the uniform is worn so much, here are a few tips to help it stay fresh longer: • Don't wear ital times when it does not have to be worn; change clothes a1ler supper to avoid getting it dirty. • Bring a hanger for the shirt and keep the neckerchiefand slide (if worn) "' Commissioner Staff in the same place each time so they won't get lost. • It would be a good idea to have several pairs of Scout socks to avoid After your Camp Guide wearing the same pair all session. finishes helping you check in, the camp commissioner will be your main resource for campsite needs. • Dining Hall The Commissioner staffwill With everyone visiting three times a day, the dining hall is the most stop by the campsites each day to popular place in camp.

The central showers accomodate adult males, females and youth. In order to adhere to youth protection policies, adults are not allowed to take showers with youth under any circumstances. Dedicated showers for female Scouters are located at the central & east shower facilities. Some campsites have built-in cold showers. J"S4 • Trading Post The Trading Post-located in the middle of camp-stocks a variety ofitems, such as camp memorabilia (patches, mugs, t-shirts, etc.), program supplies and concession items. The Trading Post is open during the day and evening, except at meals and during campwide activities. It is a popular place for Scouts and leaders to get a snack and relax. Visa and MasterCard are accepted; however, ATM and debit cards are not. •i• Lost & found A telephone is located outside the Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continued use of the telephone by Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents' phone bill. Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the telephone number is 870-257-4935. This telephone is located in the camp office and is manned from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00p.m., with the exception of lunch. There may be a staffmember in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however, that this is the camp's business phone and parents will not be able to talk to their children. The staff member will take a message and deliver it at the next meal. Emergency messages, of course, will be delivered as soon as possible.

Parents will be able to find out how to send mail to their son during the week. Scouts can find a list ofwhat to bring to camp and helpful hints. 'i *Visitors Visitors should plan to arrive at Kia Kima in accordance with the daily schedule of activities. Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night's sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should ~"MC~ park, check in at the Administration Building, and . -=' ~ then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the camp-wide speed limit is 15 mph. Ifdesired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for their meal from the Administration Building as they enter camp. The visitor meal price is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for children under the age of 12 and children under the age of6 each for free. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back ofthe line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout's Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. --- 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide �ift Daily Schedule l'i Vespers & chaplain Each day follows the same schedule shown on page 13. The schedule may vary for check-in and check-out. On opening and closing day the evening activity is a campwide campfire in the campfire arena starting at 8:30 p.m. Everyone in camp is expected to attend and wear his or her Scout uniform. There are a variety of activities available to choose from on the other evenmgs. Vespers is a short fellowship service held on the first evening ofcamp. Vespers is held at the Chapel, located above the campfire arena. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Members of the Commissioner staffwill conduct Vespers services, with assistance from visiting clergy. Scouts and units may volunteer to assist with Vespers by notifying the camp administrative staffbefore arriving at camp.

'ti Wolf, Bear & Webelos Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + Please realize that the age and rank ofeach Scout in your pack needs to be carefully examined before registering for programs. Take a close look at the Program Pre-registration form and be sure to register your Scouts for the correct program for resident camp. In other words, think now as if you are in June, 2012 already.

An extra gallon-sized ziplock bag keeps those wet swim trunks offthe other dry items in the pack. Tip 2-- Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level ofwalking and can result in a trip home----0r worse-to the hospital. Tip 3- Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4-- With the heat and humidity ofJune, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the session. '" What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica. We recommend that items such as radios, MP3 players, electronic games and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages and illegal substances of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide �~------------------------------------------------------ Stuff you can do in the (almost) dark There is plenty for packs and individual Scouts to do at resident camp in the hours between dinner and Taps. Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp statl: and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established campsite, several hilting trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you'd just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim). Check with the Aquatics staffto find out the requirements for taking out a boat, or talk to your Commissioner. Other activities such as BB shoots, climbing, archery, waterslide, Iceberg, games, and crafts may be available as well. Information about special activities will be distributed at the leaders' meeting, or again, ask your Commissioner. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 �1 1 Coming and going f The safety and security of every Scout is ofparamount concern to all leaders and staff. To enhance our security efforts we will require that parents, leaders, or Scouts who are checking into camp over the course ofthe session to register at the Administration Building. Scouts who are leaving camp early will need to check out at the Admini&iration Building with our staff, while being accompanied by an adult from the pack to authorize the departure. Pack leaders should encourage all guests and visitors to depart by 9:30 p.m. If there are particular concerns of an individual Scout's well being and protection, the Cubmaster should contact the Resident Camp Director. Leaders wishing to visit town for supplies should sign out at the Administration Building. 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide �~-----------------------------------------------------+ check-out The checkout procedure will begin on Wednesday and Saturday, and should be completed before 10:30 a.m. Any unit with special checkout considerations should make plans through the Program Director or the Resident Camp Director. Activity records and health forms will be given to each unit at the concluding breakfast assembly. After breakfast, the pack will return, with the Camp Guide, to the campsite to pack their gear and clean up the site. Vehicles will be allowed in camp to load personal and unit equipment. The Camp Guide and Cubmaster will conduct another inventocy to make sure that no equipment has been misplaced or damaged during the session. Borrowed equipment will be returned to the Quartermaster, and the Camp Guide will inspect the site to be certain that it is clean. The cost of any damaged property or equipment will be charged to the pack. The Cubmaster should stop by the Administration Building on the way out of camp to complete the check-out procedure.

Youth pa1iicipants and adults should use the new newest form. These fo1ms are available under the Forms link under the Volunteer button at www.chickasaw.org. It is recommended that Parts A, Band C of the Medical Form be completed including the examination by a medical professional. However, properly completed Parts A and B will suffice. Please keep in mind that the Medical Form process is desibrned for each participant's personal safety. Due dilligence on this process could make the difference between a great experience or a poor one. 0 lder versions of the medical forms cannot be accepted. Each Scout, leader, and sibling will have a health recheck after his or her arrival as part of the check-in procedure. The Pack's medical forms will be kept on file for the Session with the camp's Health Officer. They will be returned to the Cubmaster atthe end of the Session. Even if a leader or participant is arriving late in the session all efforts should be made to have that person's health history with the Pack during check-in, so that the Health Officer can review the forms, even before the leader arrives. If a Scout or leader is arriving late to resident camp, and they were not able to give the health forms to the leader before camp, then they will need to give these forms to the Health Officer upon arrival in camp. Please make ammgement~ for physical examinations before summer camp. Any participant who does not have a completed health form will be restricted from all camp activities until an examination has been given. There are no provisions for an examination to be given at camp. Also, make sure that each health form has been signed by all parties in the appropriate places. Please keep a copy of each Scout's physical for your records. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 While we want every Scout to have a fun and exciting stay at resident camp, safety is a top priority in our program, in the campsite and around camp. Please take note of the policies and procedures to ensure a fun and safe experience. If' In case of accident or emergency Kia Kima has a Health Lodge that is open 24 hours a day and is manned by staff members trained in handlingminoraccidents and illnesses. In addition, Kia Kima has a working arrangement with physicians from the surrounding communities for the treatment of more serious cases. If this kind of treatment is required, the Scout's parents will be notified by telephone, and their wishes concerning treatment will be respected. If such a trip is required, we ask that one of the Scout's leaders drive him to the hospital. This way, the Health Officer will still be in camp to treat any other potential injuries. At the health recheck, the camp reserves the right to refuse admittance to any Scout or leader who, in the opinion of the Camp Director and Health Officer, has any physical or medical problem that could present a hazard to his or her personal safety or the safety of others. If a Scout or leader has any special medication, it may be kept in the Health Lodge. + Fire Safety Kia Kima has a fire and emergency alarm system. This system will be explained at the leaders' meeting on the first evening you are in camp, and a test of the system will be conducted early in the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~© session. Somefirefightingequipment it---::-----::--~~~-------------- (rakes, shovels, fire buckets) is ' Camp rules & hints available in each campsite, or from the Quartermaster. If there is an • emergency, this equipment will be used by members of the camp staff. • This equipment is not to be used by Scouts. Scouts do not fight fires • under any circumstances. Under no circumstances shall flames of any kind be used in • any tent. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, • they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames in Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place • card in front of the tent. Flashlights or battery-powered lanterns-which do not pose the threat of fire or • asphyxiation-are the only acceptable light for use in tents. + Liquid & LP Fuels • Liquid-fueled equipment • (kerosene, gasoline, white gas, etc.) is to be used only by adults. Lanterns or stoves may be used at campsites, under adult supervision. Empty propane cylinders should be taken • home with the pack and not placed in fueplaces or trashcans, as they may explode when heated. ii------ ' Dangerous Wildlife • Kia Kima is a Wilderness Setting. While visiting the out-ofdoors, it is common to encounter • various forms of wildlife. Dangerous wildlife at Kia Kimacould include: venomous snakes, spiders, ticks, etc. Bites from these animals • are extremely rare but precautions should be taken. We will list a few tips to keep you comfortable at camp. No riding in the back of trucks. All Scouts riding in a vehicle should have a seat belt and be fastened in. Throwing things at camp, like rocks and sticks, is not pennitted, especially around the lake area and along the river banks in camp. Running in camp should be limited to the open fields and play areas. Kia Kima does not have many flat or level areas on which to run. Roadways and paths are not designed for running. No open-toed shoes like flip flops or sandals except in the shower facility. Bare feet are limited to three places: behind the fenced-in area at the waterfront, in the shower, and in the bed. At all other times, you should have your shoes on. The buddy system means two or more Scouts go everywhere in camp together. Cubs and Webelos should be aware of where their buddy is at all times. Scouts should not be sent to the campsite alone, or on any trip out of a leader's view without a buddy or a leader. Camp is a big place and Scouts often get turned around while walking a common trail, even if they have traveled that way many times before. Any campfire started in the campsite should be completely extinguished before leaving the site for any reason. Unattended fires in camp can be very dangerous. Try to keep knife use to a minimum. Open knives in crowded areas and walking with an open knife pose great dangers. Individuals who have knives should be considerate of others and use those knives safely. Please do not cut live trees, no matter how big or small they are. Walking sticks are sold in the camp Trading Post, or may be made from limbs or trees that are already dead and down. Please do not disfigure the trees, bushes, or shrubs. If you dig holes foranyreason,pleasefill them in when you are finished. Leaving open holes in activity fields and campsite areas poses a tripping hazard. Please do not hang wet clothes inside your tent. Also, do not attach clotheslines to the tent., as these put stress on the tent and can cause it to fall down. Clotheslines in campsites should be hung with colored or white cord and as high off the ground as possible to avoid Scouts or leaders walking into them. Please remove any clotheslines that you hang up before leaving camp. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames in Tents. " This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. No riding in the back of trucks. For their own safety, Scouts are not permitted to ride in the beds of pickup trucks. 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ©------------------------------------ Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelos and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. 'i• Le aders in camp All units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelo s and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. This policy is required by the Chickasaw Council. All leaders must be registered members of the BSA, and must meet the qualifications for the leadership position in which they serve. Th e unit leader must be at least 21 years of age. Any additional leaders must be at leas t 18 years of age. L eader s m ay rotate when necessary, but at least two adu lts must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the uni t to camp must meet all of the above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest of your Sco uts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack's stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. Forunits bringing5 ormoreScouts, the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional " leaderspace" is $8 0.00 for the week. Each leader-space provides meals, tentage , and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. Uni ts that rotate leaders during the week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the session. For examp le, one leader mi ght stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one leader-space and pay only $80.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one leader- space. Additional patches are available for purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number ofleaders staying in camp at any one time. n: ho wever, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire session, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading P os t. Packs with a high ratio of leaders to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure that there is enough tent space for everyone . Cub Scout/Webel os Resident Camp Le ader's Guide + 2012 For units bringing 5 or more Scouts the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Step 1 lfl Correspondence A11 resident camp correspondence and registration material should be sent to the Council Office until the middle of May. After May 25th all correspondence should then be sent directly to camp. The addresses for both locations are listed on page 3. To allow enough time to receive and process registration, do not send any money or registration materials through the Postal Service less than one week prior to your arrival at camp. Fax and email service is available 24 hours a day for your convenience. Registration Procedures Submit the Resident Camp application along with a $50 deposit to secure your campsite at.Kia Kima. Please keep in mind that some sites may already be taken. Step2 By March 16, secure a deposit of $30 per Cub Scout planning to attend resident camp. Payments can be made at the Scout office (payments cannot come from individual families. Please pay as a group) . Fill out the corresponding paperwork either online or in the registration packet. Step3 . By May 1 st11, submit your second individual deposit of $50 per Scout to the Scout office. This can als~ be paid on line. Register your Scouts and leaders onlme. Webelos will have options for the different classes they wish to take. Cub Scouts wi11 be registered as either Wolves or Bears for assignment to the appropriate walking group. Submit your t-shirt sizes either on line or by. paper ( n?t both). Packs that submit T-shirt sizes by this date w111 receive a complimentary T-shirt. Packs that do not submit T-shirt sizes may purchase them in the trading post. 2012 + lf l Transportation & parking Each unit is responsible for the safe transportation of its members to and from camp, and to make sure that all vehicles meet national insurance requirements. Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup truck or trailer-whether it is covered or uncovered-is against the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, as well as poor judgment. In addition, units visiting Kia Kiina from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area to the northeast of the Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during the week. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box wi11 provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end of this guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed to operate during sessions. Pack vehicles will be allowed into camp during check-in and check-out for the purposes ofloading and unloading of personal and pack equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 15 miles per hour. No vehicles wi11 be allowed to operate in camp or be parked in the campsite after check-in without permission of the Resident Camp Director. The only exception isthatdriving will be allowed to Camp Cherokee for aquatic activities. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ©---------------------------- ~ •;* Arriving Packs should plan to arrive at KiaKima between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on your session's opening day. No one will be available to handle early airivak + Check-in Upon arriving at camp the first thing the Cubmaster should do is report to the Administration Building with an assistant. Here they will meet the camp administrative staff. At this time, the Cubmaster should have a final count of Scouts and leaders, Scout schedules, and any unpaid fees as determined on the Financial Summary Form. The assistant should have the pack's medical forms and written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. A Camp Guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the assistant leader will take the unit to the assigned campsite to begin set up and for the health recheck. The assistant leader should have the medical forms and, if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check form. Everyone, youth and adult, must have a current health form. The recheck is to make sure that no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health recheck will occur shortly after arrival, so all members are encouraged to arrive at camp at the same time. The Cubmaster should account for any Scout or adult who will arrive late. '''Camp tour The Camp Guide will take the unit to the campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded, and vehicles returned to the parking area. The Camp Guide and the unit leader wi11 take an inventory of all equipment in the campsite. If any equipment is damaged or missing (holes in tents, damaged beds, etc.) the Camp Guide will note it and report it. The Camp Guide will also report the number of tents in the site to ensure that each person has a place to sleep. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to camp will need to change into swim trunks for the camp tour. Remember that a shirt, and shoes with covered heel and toe, must be worn while in camp. The Camp Guide will take the pack on a tour of camp, pointing out camp landmarks and the various program areas. There are a couple ofrequired stops, such as the Aquatics area, and the Dining Hall. Even if the pack has completed swim checks prior to camp, they still must visit with the Aquatics Staff for safety procedures. It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up a fireguard chart and other equipment you may need in your campsite. After the tour, the pack may return to the campsite. This is a good time to get settled and prepare for supper. The Scout uniform is required for all evening meals and campfires. Jft Leaders' meetings A meeting of key leaders will be held on the afternoon of the opening day after vespers at the Chapel. At this meeting, members of the camp staff will give an overview of camp policies and procedures, and special program activities that will be offered during the week. Also, an opportunity wi11 be provided to answer questions. In addition, leaders' meetings will be held each morning after breakfast. At this meeting, Cubmasters will get the opportunity to ask questions, and get updates on any special events going on in camp. The daily newsletter will be distributed atthis meeting. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~----© ;:i: •ii Quartermaster In addition to what is in the campsite, the camp provides equipment through the camp Quartermaster. The Quartermaster is located beside the Trading Post. Items such as brooms, water hoses, cleaning agents, tools and American flags are available for checkout. These items must be retumedclean and in good condition-before the pack checks out at the end of their session. Packs are welcome to bring their own items (as listed above) from home. •;iTentage Generally speaking, all packs will be housed in standard two-person wall tents. These tents have wooden floors with steel beds and vinyl covered mattresses. If your pack wants to bring its own tentage to camp, this is permitted. Two-deep leadership rules still apply and adults cannot stay in tents with Scouts. The only possible exception is when a parent stays in the tent with his or her son. If your pack chooses to bring a portion of its own tents, please be sure that you communicate this to the resident Camp Director, as space for these tents can become a consideration. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize his or her own tents for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames In Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. lfi uniform The official Cub Scout summer field uniform is recommended for wear by both youth and adults while in camp. This uniform-commonly referred to as Class A uniform-is to be worn to supper each evening and to campwide activities such as campfires and Vespers. The Class B uniform consists of Scout shorts and a Scouting t-shirt and may be worn at all other times during camp. Since the uniform is worn so much, here are a few tips to help it stay fresh longer: • Don't wear ital times when it does not have to be worn; change clothes a1ler supper to a void getting it dirty. • Bring a hanger for the shirt and keep the neckerchief and slide (if worn) in the same place each time so they won't get lost. • It would be a good idea to have several pairs of Scout socks to avoid wearing the same pair all session. • Dining Hall With everyone visiting three times a day, the dining hall is the most popular place in camp. Before each meal, packs line up in formation on the parade ground outside of the dining hall. The Officer ofthe Day, from the stan: will take roll call of the packs, lead grace, and at the morning and evening meals, lead the Hag ceremony. Scouts and leaders should wear their complete Scout uniform to supper to retire the colors. After the meal, the Officer of the Day usually has some important announcements for the camp. We ask that all Scouts remain in the dining hall until dismissed by the staff The waiter system is used in the dining hall for setting the tables and cleaning up after meals. It is important to stop at the dining hall during the camp tour for a demonstration of how the waiter system works. Some people have special dietary needs. We will work the best we can in accommodating these needs with the food that we have available. Dietary supplements should be brought from home for specific dietary requirements. "'Commissioner Staff After your Camp Guide finishes helping you check in, the camp commissioner will be your main resource for campsite needs. The Commissioner staff will stop by the campsites each day to visit and will make sure you have all the supplies and equipment that you need. If there is something broken or missing in your site, they will work to see that it is fixed or replaced You 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ~------------------------------------------------------ can also meet with your Commissioner at the morning leaders' meeting. •f• Te I e phone In addition, Commissioners are knowledgeable about the program and can answer questions or help you plan pack activities. + sh owers an d F ac1T 1f 1 es Hot showers are available at the Central & East showerhouses. The central showers accomodate adult males, females and youth. In order to adhere to youth protection policies, adults are not allowed to take showers with youth under any circumstances. Dedicated showers for female Scouters are located at the central & east shower facilities. Some campsites have built-in cold showers. J"S4 • Trading Post The Trading Post-located in the middle of camp-stocks a variety ofitems, such as camp memorabilia (patches, mugs, t-shirts, etc.), program supplies and concession items. The Trading Post is open during the day and evening, except at meals and during campwide activities. It is a popular place for Scouts and leaders to get a snack and relax. Visa and MasterCard are accepted; however, ATM and debit cards are not. •i• Lost & found A central lost and found area is located at the Trading Post. If you lose something during the week, check with the Trading Post staff to see if it has been turned in. In addition, the Aquatics area has a small lost and found area. At the end of resident camp, all lost and found items will be boxed and stored. After camp closes for the summer, lost and found items will be kept until November 1. To make it easier to recover lost items, Scouts should clearly mark their personal possessions with their name and pack number. A FEW HELPFUL TIPS FoRA COMFORTABLE AND SAl'I!: CAMPING EXPl!:Rll!:NCI!~ • Wear closed-toed & closed heeled shoes • Use insect repellents containing DEET or Permethrin • Carry flashlights when walking at night • Shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them • Keep food out of tents • Check for tick bites daily Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 A telephone is located outside the Administration Building. It is the only telephone available for Scout use. We discourage the continued use of the telephone by Scouts. Not only does it take him away from the camp program, it runs up his parents' phone bill. Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the telephone number is 870-257-4935. This telephone is located in the camp office and is manned from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00p.m., with the exception of lunch. There may be a staff member in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however, that this is the camp's business phone and parents will not be able to talk to their children. The staff member will take a message and deliver it at the next meal. Emergency messages, of course, will be delivered as soon as possible. Kia Kima Scout Reservation Pack Number, Scout's Name 629 Kia Kima Trail Hardy, Arkansas 72542 Please be sure to include the Scout's pack number on all mail; this will make it much easier to route the mail to the proper recipient. Also include a return address on all mail in case a letter arrives at camp after the Scout has left. Mail service is dependable, but it is recommended that mail not be sent to camp later than the day the pack checks into camp. For such a short session as resident camp, it is recommended that parents mail their letters before the Scout arrives. A letter or postcard can take from two to four days to reach camp. Any letters or packages that contain currency or valuables should be insured. 'i* Visitors ....... • Kia Kima Website The official Internet site for resident camp and for Kia Kima Scout Reservation provides the latest updates about preparing for camp. This is an excellent resource for parents, leaders and Scouts. www.kiakima.com Leaders will find information about summer camp, registration and last-minute updates. Parents will be able to find out how to send mail to their son during the week. Scouts can find a list of what to bring to camp and helpful hints. Visitors should plan to arrive at Kia Kima in accordance with the daily schedule of activities. Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night's sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should park, check in at the Administration Building, and then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the camp-wide speed limit is 15 mph. If desired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for their meal from the Administration Building as they enter camp. The visitor meal price is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for children under the age of 12 and children under the age of 6 each for free. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back of the line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout's Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. ~"MC~ . -=' ~ --- 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ift Daily Schedule Each day follows the same schedule shown on page 13. The schedule may vary for check-in and check-out. On opening and closing day the evening activity is a campwide campfire in the campfire arena starting at 8:30 p.m. Everyone in camp is expected to attend and wear his or her Scout uniform.

Vespers is held at the Chapel, located above the campfire arena. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Members of the Commissioner staff will conduct Vespers services, with assistance from visiting clergy. Scouts and units may volunteer to assist with Vespers by notifying the camp administrative staff before arriving at camp. Scouts who are working on a religious award are especially encouraged to do so. 'ti Wolf, Bear & Webelos Please realize that the age and rank of each Scout in your pack needs to be carefully examined before registering for programs. Take a close look at the Program Pre-registration form and be sure to register your Scouts for the correct program for resident camp. In other words, think now as if you are in June, 2012 already. Your current Tiger Cubs will now become Wolves. Wolves become Bears and so forth. .,. Campfires Campfires bring out the spirit and fun of camp. We have two campfires planned for Resident Camp. Saturday and Wednesday nights will feature grand opening campfires for each session. It will kick off the session with an exciting beginning. Songs, cheers, stunts, and the chance to meet the whole staff will be just a few of the treats in store. On Monday and Friday nights, we will have our closing campfires. Awards and many neat activities are also planned for these campfires. Visitors are encouraged to attend these campfires. All campfires start at 8:30 p.m., and should conclude around 9: 15 p.m Any visitors in camp should plan to depart after the campfire show has ended.

A good exercise is to think about your perfect stay at camp and bring the items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the afternoon fishing on the edge of the lake, don't forget your fishing pole and tackle box. If' Unit equipment To help keep you from forgetting those all important items, we have a list to help you when you are packing. • Pack flag • First aid kits • Den flags • Bow saws • Lanterns • Rope • 8x10Tarp • Brooms • Water hose • Lawn chairs • Water bottles • T-shirts • Ice chest full of favorite drinks (water is the best) • Camp stove and coffee pot • Rank book so things can be signed off at camp • Complete Scout uniform •;• Personal equipment • Shorts or long pants • Undeiwear • Sunglasses • Sweater or jacket • Extra shoes or boots • Sunscreen • Poncho or rain gear • Notebook/pencil or pen • Watch (very important) • Wallet (extra spending money) • Washcloth and towel • Toilet articles (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc., no glass bottles) • Flashlight with new batteries • Sleeping bag or sheets & blankets • Alarm clock ( optional)(battery operated) • Footlocker, suitcase or backpack • Bicycle & helmet (optional) • Swim trunks • Socks • Hat, if desired • Camera • Insect repellent (containing DEET or Pennethria) NOTE: Ice will not be issued at camp for campsite use. Bags of ice will be available for purchase at the trading post. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 r,1 Tips Tip 1--A daypack (book bag) is recommended to help keep things together while hiking around camp from day to day. An extra gallon-sized zip lock bag keeps those wet swim trunks off the other dry items in the pack. Tip 2-- Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level of walking and can result in a trip home----0r worse-to the hospital. Tip 3- Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4-- With the heat and humidity of June, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the session. '" What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. We recommend that items such as radios, MP3 players, electronic games and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages and illegal substances of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ~------------------------------------------------------ Stuff you can do in the (almost) dark There is plenty for packs and individual Scouts to do at resident camp in the hours between dinner and Taps. Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp statl: and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established campsite, several hilting trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you'd just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim). Check with the Aquatics staff to find out the requirements for taking out a boat, or talk to your Commissioner. Other activities such as BB shoots, climbing, archery, waterslide, Iceberg, games, and crafts may be available as well. Information about special activities will be distributed at the leaders' meeting, or again, ask your Commissioner. Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide + 2012 1f1 Coming and going The safety and security of every Scout is of paramount concern to all leaders and staff. To enhance our security efforts we will require that parents, leaders, or Scouts who are checking into camp over the course of the session to register at the Administration Building. Scouts who are leaving camp early will need to check out at the Admini&iration Building with our staff, while being accompanied by an adult from the pack to authorize the departure. Pack leaders should encourage all guests and visitors to depart by 9:30 p.m. If there are particular concerns of an individual Scout's well being and protection, the Cubmaster should contact the Resident Camp Director. Leaders wishing to visit town for supplies should sign out at the Administration Building. 2012 + Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide ~------------------------------------------------------ + check-out The checkout procedure will begin on Wednesday and Saturday, and should be completed before 10:30 a.m. Any unit with special checkout considerations should make plans through the Program Director or the Resident Camp Director. Activity records and health forms will be given to each unit at the concluding breakfast assembly. After breakfast, the pack will return, with the Camp Guide, to the campsite to pack their gear and clean up the site. Vehicles will be allowed in camp to load personal and unit equipment. The Camp Guide and Cubmaster will conduct another inventocy to make sure that no equipment has been misplaced or damaged during the session. Borrowed equipment will be returned to the Quartermaster, and the Camp Guide will inspect the site to be certain that it is clean. The cost of any damaged property or equipment will be charged to the pack. The Cubmaster should stop by the Administration Building on the way out of camp to complete the check-out procedure. The check-out process at a glance 'f• Paperwork The pack will receive a packet at breakfast containing health forms and program materials.

The Mission of the Lodge The mission of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the Chickasaw Council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. The Obligation I, do hereby promise, on my honor as a Scout, that I will always and faithfully, observe and preserve the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui. I will always regard the ties of Brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow, as lasting, and will seek to preserve a cheerful spirit, even in the midst of irksome tasks and weighty responsibilities, and will endeavor, so far as in my power lies, to be unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others. The Song of our Order Firm bound in Brotherhood, gather the clan, That cheerful service brings to fellow man. Circle our council fire, weld tightly every link, That binds us in Brotherhood, Wimachtendienk. �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Brothers, 2012 is a new year with room for new innovations and improvement. As a lodge we have several lofty goals and aspirations, but with teamwork and dedication, we cannot fail. Together as a Brotherhood let’s make it the best year our Lodge and our Council has ever seen! There are many events coming up this year that will continue to provide a lot of excitement. April 20-22 the Lodge will send a contingent to Conclave at Skymont Scout Reservation outside of Chattanooga. This is a large campout with all the lodges in the Section. There are plenty of games and competitions that make for a lot of fun. This year the theme is pirates, so join yon crew for the raid on Skymont! This summer there is the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) at Michigan State University July 30-August 4. It is essentially the National Jamboree of the OA. This is a week of training, competitions, patch trading, shows, and pow wows! Another option for the summer is OA High Adventure. You can go to OA Trail Crew (Philmont), OA Ocean Adventure (Sea Base), OA Wilderness Voyage (Northern Tier), or OA Canadian Odyssey (Northern Tier). Here you will work on maintaining and improving the camps while also experiencing much of what it has to offer. It is also a lot cheaper than going with your troop! On a local level, we have our Lodge Order of the Arrow Conference (LOAC) which is at Camp Currier February 17-19. During summer camp at Kia Kima there will be a weekly Summer Fellowship every Friday evening in the Council Ring before Campfire. Fall Fellowship is at Camp Currier October 12-14 and where we will elect our new officers for 2013. This year there will also be a ServiceCorps for ScoutBase October 19-21 at Tunica Expo Center. This is a great way to serve the Council and make sure everything runs smoothly at ScoutBase. Our two Ordeals (where we induct new members) will be May 18-20 and September 7-9. These will be held at Kia Kima and Camp Currier respectively. Finally our Lodge Family Banquet will be held December 1st. Also, if you have been an Ordeal member for 10 months you have the opportunity to seal your membership by going through Brotherhood conversion. This will teach you more of our traditions and give you a greater understanding of the Order. There will be a Brotherhood ceremony at every Lodge event (except ServiceCorps and Banquet) and also every week of Summer Camp at Kia Kima. On behalf of the officers of the Lodge Executive Committee, we are looking forward to a great year with the lodge! W. W. W.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

As an Ordeal member, you will fall into one of the following three categories: If you have just completed your Ordeal Ceremony CONGRATULATIONS! Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558 is happy to have you as a Brother. Ordeal membership is only the first step that you are expected to achieve. Ten months from now, you will be eligible to participate in the Brotherhood experience. Will you be ready? There are five goals that you must meet before you are eligible to earn your Brotherhood Membership. The time to prepare for this journey is now! If you have been an Ordeal member for less than 10 months Then take a few minutes to assess where you stand in your commitment to obtaining Brotherhood. Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood. Review the Order of the Arrow Handbook and obtain a copy of the “Brotherhood” Information Sheet to aid you in your preparations. Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your Order of the Arrow Lodge and keep your dues paid. Be aware that acceptance of Brotherhood Membership involves a pledge of service to the Lodge. Develop a concrete idea of how you plan to fulfill this pledge. 5 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Officers Roster The following list of officers is for your reference.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 31 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2011 32 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 33 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 34 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 35 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge - 36 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 37 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 38 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 39 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 40 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 41 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 42 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 43 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 44 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 45 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 46 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 47 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 48 2012 Plan Book �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book SUMMER 2012 NOAC 2012 49 �Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Have you considered becoming a member of the Kia Kima staff?

Text Any textual data included in the document The Purpose of the Order of the Arrow As Scouting’s National Honor Society, our purpose is to: • Recognize those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and through that recognition cause others to conduct themselves in a way that warrants similar recognition. • Promote camping, responsible outdoor adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every Scout’s experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer camp. • Develop leaders with the willingness, character, spirit and ability to advance the activities of their units, our Brotherhood, Scouting, and ultimately our nation. • Crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. The Mission of the Lodge The mission of the Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the Chickasaw Council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. The Obligation I, do hereby promise, on my honor as a Scout, that I will always and faithfully, observe and preserve the traditions of the Order of the Arrow, Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui. I will always regard the ties of Brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow, as lasting, and will seek to preserve a cheerful spirit, even in the midst of irksome tasks and weighty responsibilities, and will endeavor, so far as in my power lies, to be unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others. The Song of our Order Firm bound in Brotherhood, gather the clan, That cheerful service brings to fellow man. Circle our council fire, weld tightly every link, That binds us in Brotherhood, Wimachtendienk. Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Brothers, 2012 is a new year with room for new innovations and improvement. As a lodge we have several lofty goals and aspirations, but with teamwork and dedication, we cannot fail. Together as a Brotherhood let’s make it the best year our Lodge and our Council has ever seen! There are many events coming up this year that will continue to provide a lot of excitement. April 20-22 the Lodge will send a contingent to Conclave at Skymont Scout Reservation outside of Chattanooga. This is a large campout with all the lodges in the Section. There are plenty of games and competitions that make for a lot of fun. This year the theme is pirates, so join yon crew for the raid on Skymont! This summer there is the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) at Michigan State University July 30-August 4. It is essentially the National Jamboree of the OA. This is a week of training, competitions, patch trading, shows, and pow wows! Another option for the summer is OA High Adventure. You can go to OA Trail Crew (Philmont), OA Ocean Adventure (Sea Base), OA Wilderness Voyage (Northern Tier), or OA Canadian Odyssey (Northern Tier). Here you will work on maintaining and improving the camps while also experiencing much of what it has to offer. It is also a lot cheaper than going with your troop! On a local level, we have our Lodge Order of the Arrow Conference (LOAC) which is at Camp Currier February 17-19. During summer camp at Kia Kima there will be a weekly Summer Fellowship every Friday evening in the Council Ring before Campfire. Fall Fellowship is at Camp Currier October 12-14 and where we will elect our new officers for 2013. This year there will also be a ServiceCorps for ScoutBase October 19-21 at Tunica Expo Center. This is a great way to serve the Council and make sure everything runs smoothly at ScoutBase. Our two Ordeals (where we induct new members) will be May 18-20 and September 7-9. These will be held at Kia Kima and Camp Currier respectively. Finally our Lodge Family Banquet will be held December 1st. Also, if you have been an Ordeal member for 10 months you have the opportunity to seal your membership by going through Brotherhood conversion. This will teach you more of our traditions and give you a greater understanding of the Order. There will be a Brotherhood ceremony at every Lodge event (except ServiceCorps and Banquet) and also every week of Summer Camp at Kia Kima. On behalf of the officers of the Lodge Executive Committee, we are looking forward to a great year with the lodge! W. W. W.

The Chickasaw and Delta councils were in the process of merging. The fall elections were held during the fellowship at Camp Tallaha, located outside Charleston, MS, to select the new Lodge Executive Committee (LEC). It was agreed to have a balanced representation of leadership from the two merged lodges. After an arrowman from 406 was elected Lodge Chief, nominations were then limited to members of 345 for 1st Vice Chief. All the other offices were open to arrowmen from either lodge. Only the position of 2nd Vice Chief ran opposed. The event offered identically designed pocket and back patches featuring the combined totems of the Thunderbird (Chickasah) and White Panther (Koi Hatachie). After the first meeting at Camp Tallaha, the newly elected lodge officers met at the Chickasaw Council office to officially determine the new lodge totem and name. After several attempts, they selected the black bear and the name Ahoalan-Nachpikin, which means “We Who Love the Outdoors”. The new lodge was officially chartered on January 1, 1995. It was a member of Section SR-9 from 1995-1997 It was then moved to Section SR-6N where it remained from 1997-2008. With a section restructuring in 2008, the lodge came to be in its current section, Section SR-6. Initially, each district in the lodge was represented by a chapter. In August of 2000, restructuring occurred to form four chapters, each comprised of two or three districts. The chapters that made up the new lodge structure were: Macheu Machque (Great Bear), Lippoe Blaknik (Wise Flying Squirrel), Nashoba Tobhi (White Wolf in the Choctaw), Sakima Machque (Chief Bear). In 2003, with the formation of new districts, a new chapter, Okla Kamassa (Strong People) was added to the lodge structure. All of these remain currently.

Also, check your Lodge Calendar, call your Chapter Chief, or talk to the Vice-Chief of Unit Elections and Camp Promotions, to find out when the next Brotherhood opportunity is scheduled. The Ordeal Ceremony contains some very powerful words and lessons that you must learn. These will help you understand what you will need to take the next step to Brotherhood.

Your Lodge depends on its members’ support, and you can be an exciting part of its growth! If you have been an Ordeal member for more than 10 months Then contact a Lodge Officer or Adviser to discuss your Obligation and commitment to this awesome organization, the Order of the Arrow. You can continue to contribute to your Lodge and assist with its growth and future. If you feel you are not receiving necessary support from Lodge members, contact your Lodge Officers and/or Advisers for assistance. The Challenge of Brotherhood Membership You must meet five challenges before entering the Circle of Brotherhood. As an Ordeal member you have completed the first challenge. The next three require steady effort over a period of many months. The final challenge you must meet after you are satisfied that you have lived up to the first four. First: Memorize the signs of the Arrow Membership. Memorize the Obligation of the Order, which you received from Allowat Sakima (printed on the back of your membership card and in the front of this book). Memorize the Order of the Arrow official song (printed in the front of this book), the admonition, the sign of Ordeal Membership, and the Arrow Handclasp. Advance in your understanding of the Ordeal, and gain a thorough understanding of the Ordeal through which you passed. Second: Serve your unit; help them improve their camping program. Retain your registration in Scouting. During a period of at least 10 months, strive to fulfill your Obligation by continuing and expanding your service to your Troop or Crew. Third: Plan for service in your Lodge. Retain your registration in your Order of the Arrow Lodge and keep your dues paid.

The Troop/Team Representative program was begun in 1999, and is a program of the Order of the Arrow that has been officially adopted by the Boy Scouts of America. The OA Representative is now an official leadership position within the troop or team, and boys can earn time towards their leadership rank requirements, just as with Den Chief, Troop Scribe, or any of the other leadership positions. What Are the Responsibilities of the Troop/Team Representative? There are numerous possibilities for the job description of the OA Representative. The beauty is that it is flexible enough to allow your unit to fine-tune the exact responsibilities. However, the most basic tasks of the Representative will be to coordinate service opportunities within the unit, to coordinate unit involvement with the Order of the Arrow, including Unit Elections, Camp Promotions, and Inductions, and request lodge and chapter resources to help meet unit needs. Who Can Serve as a Troop/Team Representative? Anyone in the unit who is under the age of 18 can serve as the OA Representative for the unit, provided he is a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow. He should be appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader or Varsity Team Captain, and will be a member of the Patrol Leaders’ Council and attend lodge and chapter meetings. Will There Be an Adviser for the Troop/Team Representative? As with all positions in the Order, the OA Representative should have an adult as his Adviser. This adult needs to be 21 years of age or older, a dues-paid member of the Order of the Arrow, and be appointed by the Scoutmaster. Does This Position Count for Rank Advancement? Scouts may use the Order of the Arrow Troop/Team Representative position to meet the leadership position requirements for the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. As BSA publications are revised and updated, they will include this new position. 32 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 2011 33 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 34 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 35 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 36 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book - 37 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 38 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 39 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 40 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 41 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 42 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 43 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 44 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 45 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 46 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 47 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 48 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book 49 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book SUMMER 2012 NOAC 2012 50 Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge 2012 Plan Book Have you considered becoming a member of the Kia Kima staff?

To aid in this growth, the national JTE team has assembled insights for each lodge based on the 2012 JTE submissions from lodges and other rechartering data. The information and metrics in this report will help the lodge identify strengths and opportunities in its program, and work to improve them over the coming year. The national JTE team exists to support lodges in digesting these insights and aiding in actions to improve performance in the coming year. If the lodge would like assistance in understanding these metrics and how to use them to improve their program and performance, contact jte@oa-­‐bsa.org. Membership retention and growth are the two most basic membership stats available to lodges. Growth represents the total membership change year over year in the lodge. Retention is more useful, as it measures the membership change year over year without counting new ordeal inductions. Membership distribution helps a lodge understand where to focus growth efforts. Lodges with above average Brotherhood and Vigil memberships, for example, need to emphasize elections and new member retention. Lodges with above average Ordeal memberships need to focus on increasing Brotherhood conversion and improving lodge program to retain Brotherhood members. Density is a metric that measures how many potential Arrowmen are registered members of the lodge. Lodge density is the percentage of reported youth or adult arrowmen compared to the councils year-­‐end 2012 membership numbers.

Lodges significantly outside the norms may want to consider how their lodge budget is funded, and discuss how to raise additional money outside the dues structure. Support of the council is one of the lodges primary functions. Direct support is a measure of the cash contributions being made by the lodge to the council on an annual basis. Due to the varying size of lodges, direct support per member and as a percentage of dues are more effective measures than total support. Engagement metrics measure how active the lodge membership is in its program. Engagement looks at lodge event participation, conclave participation, and service being rendered by lodge members during the year. 35.27% Lodge $10.00 Lodge 79.57% Lodge Successful lodges are led by trained leaders. Leadership metrics look not only at the number of participants in Lodge Leader Development (LLD), but also at the ratio of LEC members to general lodge membership. If the LEC is too large, the lodge may want to look at delegating more responsibility to the chapter leadership. Lodge $5.14 51.37% $2,500 $2,000 Lodge Induction rates measure how effective a lodge is at converting potential new members into Arrowmen. The rate calculates the percentage of candidates who successfully completed their ordeal. Brotherhood conversion is the rate at which eligible Ordeal members seal their membership. It is calculated by taking the lodge's ordeal membership, subtracting out the current years inducted members, and dividing that number into the number of Brotherhood inductions this year. 2/100 89.47% 6.45 0.00% 5.14% Lodge Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His wife she had a nightmare, and walking in her sleep She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Johnny Verbeck was meat! Gray Squirrel Gray squirrel, gray squirrel, Swoosh your bushy tail. Gray squirrel, gray squirrel, Swoosh your bushy tail. Pick a nut up with your toes, Wrinkle up your little nose, Gray squirrel, gray squirrel, Swoosh your bushy tail.
