That's the program at Kia Kima beginning on Saturday, June 14th, when the lodges will be opened for the 15th Season. On reaching camp, lodges will be assigned, everyone will hurry into bathing suits for a cool, refreshing swim; trim canoes will glide over the sparkling waters of the South Fork and all too soon the thrilling notes of the bugle will sound "Recall,'' reminding the Scouts that supper is nearly ready. After an excellent meal, the Iroquois, Pawnees and Sioux will assemble under their Tribe Leaders and prepare to gather around "the red flower which blooms only at night,'' for songs, stunts and a general good time. Then again the notes of the bugle"Day is done, Gone the Sun From the Lake, From the Hill, From the Sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh." And so ends the day of the beginning of camp, everyone happy and waiting for another dawn, to enjoy anew the many pleasures and activities of "Eagles Nest." Leadership Kamp Kia Kima is indeed fortunate in having the splendid staff of outstanding leaders in Scouting who will direct the camp and its activities during the 1930 season. Willard E. Hays, Assistant to the Executive and a veteran in Scouting, will be Camp Director. The "Chief" is a graduate of the Camp Leaders Training School held at Chattanooga, Tenn.

Gerald will also serve as Mess Sergeant. He is a graduate of Southwestern and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 19. George H.

Loeation In the Ozarks, on a rocky bluff overlooking the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, three miles from Hardy, Ark., is "Eagles Nest." The camp site is high, well drained, free from mosquitoes with no danger from high water at any season of the year. Chickasaw Council owns 166 acres of rugged woodland in this campers' paradise and Kia Kima is located almost in its center. Numerous arrowheads found in the vicicity indicate this spot was used as a permanent camp by the Indial's who or:ce inhabited the region. �Facts About Kamp Kia Kima 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. The Rules of the Camp are the Scout Oath and Law. Camp opens June 14th-Closes August 23rd. To register, apply to Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Telephone 6-7032. Camp fees are $8.50 per week, payable in advance. Please make checks payable to Chickasaw Council. Railroad fare, round trip Memphis to Hardy, $5.25 for 2 weeks; $6.30 for 3 weeks; $7.60 for any length of stay over 3 weeks. Scouts enter and leave camp on Saturdays only. All Scouts must pass a physical examination within one week of the time they enter camp. This is furnished in Memphis without charge. All clothing and equipment must be plainly marked with owner's name. The health of everyone in camp is carefully protected. Scouts are inspected daily by the camp physician, so that no ailment, however slight, goes unattended. G. H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., Camp Physician, lives in the Camp Hospital. The camp is located on 166 acres owned by Chickasaw Council. It is three miles from Hardy, Ark., in Sharp County, and is 126 miles from Memphis via Frisco R.R. Twenty-two permanent buildings are on the camp, nineteen of which, including the two-story camp headquarters, are built of native stone. The Camp Physician inspects all food supplies, the Mess Hall and Kitchen daily. Ample time is allowed for writing and each boy is required to write to his parents once each week. Each Scout is allowed to buy 10 cents worth of candy per day. Please do not send sweets from home. Equipment The camp is splendidly equipped with a two-story Headquarters Lodge, sixteen Lodges, Hospital, a big, airy Mess Hall, Visitors' Lodge, Handicraft Shop, Recreation Hall and other buildings. With the exception of the Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and Handicraft Shop, all are built of native stone. The Hospital is well equipped and provided with shower bath. All buildings except the Recreati~n Hall are completely screened. A splendid tennis court is available at all times. Eight boys are assigned to each lodge. Each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy felt mattress fitted with a mattress cover. The camp's water supply is pumped from a deep well into a There are pressure tank. Every two weeks 16 Lodges during the season the water is like this at tested for purity by a Memphis Kia Kima bacteriologist. Running water is provided in the Mess Hall, Hospital and Visitors' Lodge. �Off for a Thrilling Canoe Trip Canoeing Next to swimming in the South Fork, canoeing is probably the most popular sport in camp. Eleven excellent canoes provide plenty of fun. There is seldom a moment when flashing paddles cannot be seen somewhere on the river. The "Buddy" System is applied to the use of canoes as well as to swimming and no Scout is permitted to use a canoe until he has passed his Canoe Tests and demonstrated his ability to swim as well as handle a canoe. Water Sports The cool, clear waters of the South Fork are a constant invitation to swim, and needless to say, Scouts do not have to be urged to accept. Swimming is by far the most popular sport in camp and the big sandy beach is a favorite spot for gatherings and games. Every precaution is taken to insure safety in the water. Swimming is not permitted except at regular swimming periods when expert Life Guards are on duty. The "Buddy" System, recommended by the National Department of Camping, is used in both swimming and canoeing. This means a Scout must be accompanied by another Scout whenever he is in or on the water. In swimming, boys enter the water in pairs and they are required to remain close enough to touch each other ALL the time. This excellent safety measure makes each boy constantly on the lookout for the welfare of his "Buddy." Non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim are not allowed in deep water, but remain in an area of shallow water which is roped off and under the supervision of a Life Guard. These boys are taught to swim and few Scouts leave campwithout learning how to handle themselves in the water. Aquatic meets are frequently held and there is keen com petition between the Tribes for the prizes awarded to the winners. Canoe tilting, water polo, canoe races and other stunts are the source of much amusement and help to make camping the ideal vacation. There's Plenty of Fun in the Water �Skill is Required in Canoe Tilting Camp Aetivities Many and varied are the activities of the lucky Scouts who go to Kia Kima. In addition to water sports, hikes and woodcraft, many big games provide fun. Bully Wumpus, Crazy Abyssinian King and Animal Hunt Games are favorites of long standing, while tennis, archery, baseball, horseshoe pitching and volley ball are very popular. There is never a time during the day, except during Quiet Hour after dinner, when Scouts are not engaged in some of these activities or are working in the Handicraft Shop, making articles of wood, leather or metal. Numerous prizes ranging from fried pies to field glasses will be awarded to the Scouts who win the big games and other competitive sport events which are frequently held throughout the summer. Camp Honors In putting "out" in Scouting, boys become well acquainted with many of Nature's secrets and learn how to take care of themselves in the open . Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. �Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M. This is the "Sunnyland," the Frisco's best. Registration and Fees Scouts may register for camp at any time and applications are filed in the order received. Early registration assures a Scout a place at camp during the desired time. All Scouts must pass a physical examination by a physician within one week of the time they enter camp. The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks. As K.K.K. is 3 miles from Hardy, there is a 25 cents charge each way for hauling baggage to and from camp. �PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.

Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M. This is the "Sunny land," the Frisco's best. Registration and Fees Scouts may register for camp at any time and applications are filed in the order received. Early registration assures a Scout a place at camp during the desired time. All Scouts must pass a physical examination by a physician within one week of the time they enter camp. The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks. As K.K.K. is 3 miles from Hardy, there is a 25 cents charge each way for hauling baggage to and from camp. PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.
