Wentz, Chairman In 1962 the aim and goal of your camping and activities committee was to place in the hands of unit leaders across the council, a program that would stimulate activities within the local unit, and to establish such procedures that would develop good camping techniques and simplify ways and means to get the job done, This has been a great year of Scouting in Chickasaw Council. We would like to take this opportunity to report some of the highlights to you, One of the most important phases of Scouting is camping. During the summer 1,822 individual Scouts and Explorers had a weak of camping in the out-of-doors. 1295 individual boys attended Kamp Kia Kima and 147 Scouts participated in the program at Camp Fuller. One expedition of 19 Explorers attended Philmont Scout Ranch located at Cimarron, New Mexico, and there were two Canadian canoe expeditions. There was a total of 2467 boy weeks in all of our camp program. A very large percentage of our troops participated in numerous short term camps striving for the goal of 10 days and nights of camping for every Scout. We had over 5,000 Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, and leaders participating in our Scout Circus held at Crump Stadium. Plans have already started in preparation for even a greater show in 1963, which will be a booth show at the Fairgrounds, Districts and troops also took part in many in carrying out the service ideals of Scouting. As the result of an all around program of units qualified for the national camping award. community service projects camping and activities 25 We had 1,572 individual Scouts and 351 adult leaders participatingin the six district camporees held during the year. We had 239 adult leaders that took time away from their families as part of their vacation to attend summer camp with their units. This was very gratifying to see the tremendous increase over previous years, We feel sure that the thousands of Scouts in the Chickasaw Council would want to join the camping and activities committee in expressing our appreciation to the commissioners and the other operating committees in making this one of our finest years of camping and activities in Chickasaw Council. �FINANCE COMMITTEE Mr. A. M. Brinkley, Jr,, Chairman Our operating budget was increased in 1962 to permit expanded services including the employment of an additional staff member in the position of field director. The council is in good and fund raising financial position due efforts by many Scouters, to good budget control Shelby United Neighbors in- creased its appropriation and our sustaining membership was a great success. We are grateful to Bill Vaughan and his committee for our outstanding sc- complishments in sustaining .tnembership.

Turner, Chairman The Health and Safety Committee wishes to report a most successful year regarding the health, sanitation, and safety aspects of Chickasaw Council, its camps, and units. This year, as in the past four years, your committee was able to supply a doctor of medicine during each week of the summer season at Kamp Kia Kima. Many favorable comments by parents, unit leaders and others were received. Next year we anticipate that we will again be able to fulfill this need. Your committee inspected the various camp sites of the council again this year and we were pleased to note that many of its folDlerrecommendations had been carried out, We were most impressed with the new boat had been built at Kamp Kia Kima, and the improvements docks which on the quadrangle of stone lodges. We are also delighted toreport that the camping and activities committee was able to provide a water front director for the swimming pool and lake at Camp Currier. This year the inspection of the unit meeting places was largely carried out, at the suggestion of your committee, by sending the inspection forms to the chairman of each troop committee. We felt that this would point out the desirability of each unit appreciating the importance of the safety features in each meeting site recommended by the National Council. The cooperation received from the unit representatives has been most satisfying. With the completion Committee for the of the recommendations next camping season we of the Health and Safety feel that our boys in Chickasaw Council will enjoy another wonderful and safe camping experience. �LEADERSHIP TRAINING COMMITTEE Mr. Robert G. Shultz, Chairman The only possible way to insure a quality program is through trained leaders. Here is an example of the partnership in Scouting at work. Each sponsoring in· stitution selects adequate leadership which is given training by the council. This insures dedicated, well-prepared leaders to work with our boys. District training committees have conducted basic training tutions in all areas of the council. courses in insti· Other courses held in this year of excellent training accomplishments included completed training in all phases of the program, Cub Leaders Pow-Wows, Showandos, and a great amount of specialized training. In 1962 a total of 1372 certificates were presented in 145 training courses conducted in the council. Forty-eight Scouters have earned Scouter's Keys and Training Awards this More leaders participating in the training award program will yea~ definitely bring about an improved program for our boys. The council's training aids have also been improved with a fine library of films and audio-visual equipment available for use by training committees. Although this has been a very good year for training we now need more emphasis on basic training for top unit leaders. These are the in our program yet only 44% of them have the training necessary correctly. to place key leaders to do the job Improvement of this record should be a major objective in 1963.

A conservative estimate of boy membership at the close of the year is 10,500. The secret of our ability to serve a large number of boys is the vital function of our sponsoring institutions in providing leaders and facilities for the Scouting program, Through the year district organization and extension committees have endeavored to strengthen our partnership with these institutions through an active charter review and charter presentation program. An expansion has been made possible through the establishmentof the Scouting partnership with new institutions, Twenty-nine new units have been organized to date in 1962, The dropped unit situation is serious as forty-eight units have been dropped in 1962. The organization and extension committee is now studying methods to improve this condition, Excellent progress has been made with a steady growth in recent years. Perhaps our greatest challenge in Chickasaw Council. is to create an enthusiasm in all our districts which will enlarge our service to a much larger per cent of the over 50,000 available boys of Scout age in our council. 4543 CHICKASAW COUNCIL B 0 Y S C 0 U T S 0 F A M E R I C A l : 9 6 0 • G 0 L D E N J U B I L E !

This has been made possible by the work done by our operating committees and commissioner staff, Their brief reports on the following pages will give some indication of this wonderful progress. Many Scouters have assisted in making a good year possible. The council is especially indebted to our fine institutions which use the Scoutin~ program and their institutional representatives who make up the majority of our council membership. The splendid cooperation of our sponsoring institutions is undoubtably the greatest factor in· our success. A continuation of our great partnership with our institutions will insure even greater success in the future. ADVANCEMENT The Golden Jubilee year has been an outstanding year for advancement in Chickasaw Council, We have exceeded the previous year's record in almost every rank of Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting, The Advancement Committee has made a determined effort to maintain and improve the quality of the advancement program while emphasizing the need for more boys to advance, CUB SCOUT ADVANCEMENTS, 1960 DISTRICT ~ ~ ~ WEBELOS Northeast 260 140 84 69 Southeast 307 220 163 63 Northwest 259 187 129 44 Southwest 181 136 107 57 Crittenden 37 23 18 2 Mississippi 61 38 89 l Central 33 0 18 25 North 11 l 4 4 South 0 0 0 0 TOTAL lffi m m m BOY SCOUT ADVANCEMENTS, 1960 DISTRICT SECOND CLASS FIRST CLASS fil.!IB !ill!

This is an average of a little over fo'ur units per man, Our goal is that we will try and have one commissioner serving each institution's Scouting program, FINANCE 1960 was a good financial year for Chickasaw Council. We have accomplished our major financial objective that of operating within our operating income. This we have done without any serious impairment of the program • a fact that can be proved by the progress reports of other com• mittees, This is an outstanding accomplishment since this is the first time we have been able to do this in many years. All special activities were also financially successful and we have been able to add substantial· ly to our capital fund, we are grateful to all who have assisted our financial program in any way, and we look forward to a greatly expanded program in 1961 to enable us to meet the challenge we have to serve the boys of our council, Additional emphasis must pate as sustaining members. program of service in 1961. be placed on increasing those who partici· This will enable our council to have a full CAMPING AND ACTIVITIES 1960 was a year filled with Golden Jubilee activities including Cub Jubilee Days and Jubilee Camporees. Camp Fuller also had a fine attendance and excellent program, A Scout-0-Rama was also held at Owen College in the fall with good participation. During the year property was purchased adjacent,to Fuller State Park for camping purposes for division Scouts. Permission ha.a been obtained from the state to use the park facilities and a road has been built into the property. This should bring about a tre" mendous increasein troop camping. LEADERSHIP TRf.INING The only possible way that we can improve the quality program that our boys receive is through trained adult leadership. In order to meet its objective of providing every boy with a trained leader the Leadership Training Committee adopted a program this year of conducting basic training courses within the institution. This has pro· vided the unit leader with trained personnel to assist him in carrying out a more effective program with his boys. Training committees have been organized with additional personnel to make this type of training possible, We need to continue to emphasize the importance of basic training for all leaders in Scouting, - 11,000 - 10,500 - 10,000 - 9500 - 9000 - 8500 - 8000 - 7500 - 7000 - 6500 - 6000 - 5500 • .'iOOO - 4000 - 3500 - 3000 6012 ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION COMMITTEE 729~- 7642 --1 86§Z 8!;21 I I i I ' J l_.i [ ___ _ 9257 i-·- 88.26 I 9518 ----, I 10 13~ I ,_ 10,250 1--- 1 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
