This year, as for the past two·, the Council is conducting a series of Inter-Troop Rallies to select from the troops of the city the best rally troop. At this rally last year, Troop 1 was the winner in a very heated contest with Troops 3, 13, 19, 26, 27, 37, and 38. The Annual Jamboree at Camp Currier held in May was probably the most successful activity the Council ever had, 973 Scouts taking part and well over a thousand adults attending. This Jamboree started under the most adverse conditions, it being a rainy cold day t:ie first day of the Jamboree, and the troops are to be especially commended for the efficient and workmanlike ID3.nner in which they erected their camps and handled themselves. The Activities Comrni ttee has continued its luncheon club which meets every Friday at Lo11enstein's for a round table discussion and this has proven one of the most worth'.7hile projects the committee has ever attempted. Making this, my final reuort as Commissioner, I desire to thank those men rrho have served on this ;o::mi ttee with me for t!J.eir whole-hearted and unselfish cooperation, they having given unselfishly of their time toward the promotion of better Scouting and I could ma.ke no better recommendation to the new Conmissioner than that he appoint these same men to serve with him on his cowmissioners staff. Respectfully submitted, ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE :By ._a,z~~~ Chairrrlan Page 1. �CHICKASAW COTJNCIL. B. s. A• .ANNUAL MEETING, DECEM3.ER 15, 1932 ** ** REPORT 0 F CAMP CURRIER C 0 MM I T T E E We are pleased to re:9ort that for the year ending December 1, 1932, has had the most successful yeai· in its history. During this Currier Camp 9, 18'7 Scout days s-,)ent at caffi9 as comuared to 7, 160 days in uere foere year of 2,027 or 28.31. Also we had the pleasure of having increase an 1931, to 3,046 in 1931, an increase of 282 visitors or compared 3,328 visitors as in telling of the sustained interest Scouts volumes These figures speak camp. and Scouters have in our 9%. Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier has donated $200.00 to the camp this year which money is to be kept in trust until such time as sufficient funds are available to raise the height of the dam. It is due to Mrs. Currier's generosity that we have the dam on the carno. The dam i1as built in 1931 at a cost of ap:siroximately $700. 00 and is no;7 a height of 14 feet. Mrs. Currier plans to raise the dam to a height of 25 feet \7hich wi 11 impound about 25 acres of ':1ater instead of ap-proximately 10 acres which we no\7 have. We are greatl3r indebted to Mrs. Currier for the \7onderful things she has done to make the camp such a delightful ~lace for our boys to enjoy. The Jamboree held April 29th, 30th and M9.,y ls t '.7aS the largest and most successful we have ever had. There "mre 973 Scouts in camp for this event and doubtless many more ·.10uld have come but for the fact that it rained practically the entire first day of the Jamboree. In spite of difficulties caused by the weather the Scouts '9i tched their tents or opened up their cabins and made themselves comfortable 'Ji th the finest display of Scouting technique' we have ever seen. We believe t~is Jamboree should be an annual event. In spite of the present financial depression cabin building has ma.de splendid progress during t:1is year. Last year there were 20 troops nho had completed cabins on the caffi9, t~ese being Troops No. 5, 8 1 15, 16, 19, 24, 25, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 38, 40, 41, 49, 50, 67, 68, and 69. During t~'l:i.s fiscal year ue are pleased to state that six more cabins have been finished by the follo'.-:ing troops: Nos. 7, 11, 13, 27, 37, and 48. Only four cabins remain unfinished and the fifth has just been begun. Troops 3 and 14 have practically completed their cabins but their finishing touches were not put on in ti~e to be included as completed cabins in this report. We are very proud of the work the troops have done in cabin building this year in spite of adverse conditions. Latrines after the plan of the Shelby County Departme~t of Health have "been built to accommodate the following troops: Nos. 5, 8,. 117 13, 16~ 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 32, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 48, 49, 50, 68, and 69. With all the activity and increased attendance at ca.nip there has been a singular freedom from accident and illness. Thousands of s;7irrming hours resulted in no mishaps, noboC.y needing assistance except two nho failed in passing tests and were helped to shore by assistant life guards. This Page 2. �REPO::CT OF CA~.1P CURRIE''- COWHTT:SZ (Continued) record '.1as largely due to ~1reventive :::easuros. The only injury ·.1orth recording suffered by any Scout at Camp Currier ims ca.used by a Scout falling out of a tree and breaking his nrrr, this 1:;.fter he had been re:rpea tedly r:arned to stay out of the tall trees. E'lis year has ·;ti tnessed the co::iplete es t<.:.blishment of t1.1e lake so that -.-1e feel it is safe from destruction by hi'.¢1 ·.mter. Several times during the summer the lake level '.·1as r.dsed above the norrrol outlet but the surplus water ··.m.s easily hnndled \7ithout resortin;g to the or:1ergency pipe under the dam. The dam is noi7 in splendid condition a!ld is completely covered rli th Bermuda grass 11hic~1 protects it in case of overflo".7. This grass ·.ms donated to the en.mp by 111!'. E. A. Smith of the Camp Currier Cammi ttco. J.1.nother "9leasing fact is tl1at the beautiful clearness of the water has been maintained even follo·:Ting the heaviest rains. This d-:mbtless is because almost none of the drainage basin is cultivated and it ·.1i 11 continue to be in this condition because this area is ormed and controlled b;i• us • .A splendid start has been made in stocking the lake ·,-,i th game fish this yenr. The first consignment of fish put into the lake ;ms 300 rainbo11 trout from the Tonnossoe State Hatchery near N.'.lshvi lle follor1ing '.7hich about a thousand black bass fin,gerlings ·.wre donated to the camp by the Izaac 1.70.lton League of !1iem:9his from the Rainbo'.-: Ln.kc at Overton park; after i7hich a!r'._)roxirrntcly 3, 600 perch of several species »iere obtained from the borro'.7 pi ts along the Mississippi levee by i;>ermission of t:-ie Mississip"?i Game and Fish Commis• sion and ·out into the lake. All of tl18se fish Here put into the ·.1nter in a very s:nort space of time, About t\70 ·;reeks after the perch ·.-rcre put in a thousand bream from the United States Fish Hatchery at rr'u:pclo ·.:ere put into the lake togefoer i7ith 40 black bass fir:.:a:e:i:-lings, the gift of Prof. Evern Jones of Hernando, Mississippi. It is contemplated that more fish ·aill be added from time to time and that the lake •:rill aL;:iys be completely stocked ·17ith fish. One of the principal and most im;iortant improvements rm.de at the co.mp durin2; the past year 0,1as a nen fence made of barbed r;ire and hog \1ire all around the reservation. This iffi?rovoment was rnade by funds raised by Nir. Walter Lane Smith, Chairnnn of the Councills Finance Committee. The fence has greatly hel~od inasmuch as it keeps all stock off the camp and makes it possi0le to keep the ~round in a much more sanitary condition as r1e 11 as keeping poachers and dogs off the property. Another excellent -project this year 110.s the planting of native trees and ornamental shrubs according to the plans ilrn\7n by Mr. :rave Renfrm1 of the Memp:1is Pnrk Commission i7i th a vier1 to rounding out the beauty of the ca;T!P in a way that '.Jill harmonize \nth the natural 'iioods that already covers most of the pro·perty. Completion of this project could not be expected in one year but due to the generosity of Mrs,, M. M. Betts of the Mem1):his Art Academy a large number of al thea bushes -..ere planted on the drive leading from the entrance to the headquarters. Other don:..itions of various shrubs have also been received and planted from various friends of the camp. In planning for Camp Currier for 1933 we recommend t..11.e follo,-:-ing: 1. That t:'le principal camp roads be covered ;1i th gravel so that Page 3. �REPORT OF CAMP CURRIE~t COM1V.ITTEE (Continued) all cabins may be reached in 2. available ~et ~eather. That the camp water supply be enlarged so that the camp. ~7ater throug.~out 3. The ceiling of t~e u~stairs 11ill be rooms of tn0 Ben S.

It's a big imoroverrent over the last year from a Merit Badge standpoint. Some of the Merit Badges that the Scouts have taken show a little decrease but in the wbole on the ones that have a 'Jig bearing on Scouting, we feel that they have done a very, very eood job and in the doing of this good job we would want to express our very sincere tharJ{s to the splendid work which has been done by ScoutIIB.ster s, Asst. Scoutmaster s and the many Scouters who have done the examining of the Scouts before they reach the Court of Honor for final passage, and we would want to lay great stress on this outstanding wor~ that these splendid men have done on the Merit Badge work. We would also want to -9raise the work which was done this last summer at Kamp Kia Kima, for it was a splendid work and the chairman particularl y wants to thank the men who have been so active on the Court of Honor this past year, Wit~out them we could not have functioned. That you might know how much improved our Merit Badge work has been, the Chairman would just like to say that a few years ago it was a very easy matter for one Court to examine the boys in a very short tirre each Court of Honor meeting. In the past year it has been necessary practically ever-~ Court of Honor meeting to hold three courts to take care of the boys. You can appreciate the work that these men have been doin~ because our Merit Badge examination s run from 80 to 100 each night. There are a few Merit Badges that I would like to call your attention to on uhich our boys have nade a splendid record this year and very important Merit Badges they are: Bird Study, Carpentry, Civics, Cookin;g, First Aid, Forestry, Handicraft, Life Saving, Pioneering, S\1imming. There is one Merit Badge that our Scouts have inrproved on a little but I hope the next year that foey will sho'7 a very marked improvement and that is the Merit Badge Safety, a thing that every citizen needs to give a little thou,ght to every day from the reports ne see in t:.1e pa."?er on the loss of life, and the Court of Honor also rrishes that all those ~ho are connected ~ith various troops uill give serious analysis to these Merit Badges and let's next year shou even a better record than we have made this year, and we would ~ant you to knoi1 that \7C stand ready at all time> to assist you in any way that qe can.

DECEMBER 15, 1932 **** REPORT 0 F CUBBIU G COMMIT TEE On recommenda tion of the Executive Board of the Council a Cub Charter rras a:pplied for and received from National Headquarter s in March, 1932. Earlier in the year one group o!: about 40 boys - ages 10 to 12 had organized themselves into what t~ey called a pack and were meeting Friday nights without any fixed pro{St"am or authorized leaders. This group \18.S reorganized , supplied i:1itn Cub Handbooks, a Cubmaster, three First Class Scouts as Den Leaders, and a Pack Cormnittee according to the plan of the National Council. This group of leade~s later attended a special training course under the direction of Dr. H. w. Hurt from National Headquarter s and the or~anization is now knoVTn as Pack ffel, sponsored by the Idlenild Presbyterian Church. The Cub Corrmittee has had considerabl e difficulty in the proper reorfP,nizat ion of this one group which was started before trained leadership was available or the program carefully studied. We recomnend that any church, or other s~onsoring organizatio n, wishing to organize a Pack, first apply to Scout Headquarter s, confer with the Cub Comnittee, and have the pro6I'8.Jll well in mind before starting. The program is entirely different from Scouting; much of it is in the :pioneer or n try out" stage. Therefore, we believe the Cub Movement, altho~gh eventually a wonderful aid to Scouting and an actual necessity in dev~loping more and better Scouts, should be built up gradually and ~ith great care.

DEC1JMBZrt 15, 1932 * • * "' REPORT 0 F INT1iR-R.ACIA L C 0 MM I T T E E We regret to report that Scouting among colored boys has been at a low ebb during the yea:r ending December 1. 1932. On December 1st of last year we had 12 troops of colored boys and 161 Scouts. This year we have but 8 troops and 105 Scouts, a net loss for the year of 4 troo~s and 56 Scouts. This is a serious loss to the Council and "ile earnestly recommend that continuous endeavors be ma.de to stem the loss of Scouts and troops. We do not like to rna~e comparisons between white and negro troops but we think it well for all Scouters to kno« that only 5 ~hite troops were dropped during the year from the total of 67 white troops on the Council's rolls, a loss of 7.4% as comnared to the loss of 33.3~ among the colored troops. Ue fullyrealize that economic conditions havo a great deal to do uith the failure of negro troops and Scouts to reregister but at the same time we believe a sustained effort on the uart of the negro leaders and the Council can do much to1ra.rd koeping these b~ys in Scouting. We believe Scouting among colored boys was never needed as badly as at the present time \7he~ we are passing tDrough ~ financial depression which has severely affected our unemployment sit'Uation. With approximately 36% of the population of Shelby County being negroes there is a. vast field for Scouting to do a tremendous amount of good and ~e have the opportunity to do it. Ue strongly recommend that ne~ troops be organized just as rapidly as competent leadership can be found and trained and financial conditions wilI permit. Below is a comparison of the ITork done by colored Scouts during 1932 as compared to 1931: 1932 1931 Second Class Badr:;es Awarded First Class Badges Aiicll'ded Merit Bads~s Awarded Star Badges Awarded 16 9 44 0 11 8 52 3 There ·.1ere 8 Cowts of Honor beld for colored "l:loys during the year. One of the ~rincipal reasons for t~e loss of colored Scouts is their failure to advance beyond the Tenderfoot Rank a.~d we urge that emphasis be placed on advancement during 1933. \7e also recornme:1.d that more stress be placed on camping and other out-door activities durir..g the coming year.

Several canoes were recanvased and nine canoes in all were put in condition to t~rn the water next spring. 1.le believe t:,is is a good policy inasmucn as it allows the paint to dry during the winter months and we believe uill result in longer wear in the canoes.

It is a pleasure to re-9ort that the number of b_oys awarded the Merit Badge in Reading has sho~n a slight increase this year over last. One of the requirements to pass the Reading Merit Badge is that a Scout be a subscriber to a magazine for Scouts and a strict adherence to this requirement shows that. the boys have a keen interest in "Eoys 1 Life:ft. T'4e Cossitt Library followed its usual eustom of loaning~ ·collection of books to Kamp Kia Kima this season and tbe use of these books thoroughly demonstrates the value. of good books in the ci;i.mp. There is a decided improvement in the care the boys are taking of the books-sent to Kamp Kia Kima and this year the darrage to them v:as very slight and there were no books lost.

The Reading Committee would like to see every Scout in Chickasaw Council a subscriber to the splendid magazine "Boys 1 Life 11 • In times of economic stress it is difficult for many boys to subscripe to a magazine but since "Boys t Life 11 has ':)een reductJd to 75¢ per year when ten or more Scouts subs'crFle at the time of their troop regist:?:"ation, we feel that every Scoutmaster and Committeeman should strain a point to secure the necessary money to make "Boys t Lif en available to every boy in the troop. Your Committee recommends: 1. That in 1933 emphasis be placod on the securing of a greater number of readers of ":Soys t Life" in Chickasaw Co".mcil and that definite steps be made to increase the numoer of subscribers by the Reading Committee. 2. That a reading list of ap~roved books for Scout use be compiled and 'that this list be used as a basis of reading for the Reading Merit Eadge. 3, That Scoutmasters encourage reading from such a list.

The exact number to receive certificates has not been determined at this writing. This school went immediately into the work of the Approved Course with Mr. Fraser .Estes, Scoutmaster of 13, replacing Mr. Boyer as Patrol Leader. This school is now in session with an attendance of 53. The colored Scoutnasters of the Council held a training school under the leadership of J. A. :Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities, with an attendance of 30 men, 17 of whom received a certificate. Your Comnit tee wishes to advise that .the reason certificates are not awarded to these schools 100% is due almost entirely to the inability of the men to meet the requirements of the course in the m tter of time in attendance, a certain number of hours attendance being required in each school.

These 6 troops and their sponsor ing institut ions are as follows: Troop Troop Troop Troop Troop Troop 35 Highlan d Heigpts Presbyt erian Church 42 St. John's Episcop al Church 51 Rebecca Memorial Methodi st Church 55 Parlavay Methodi st Church 58 McLemore Ave. Presbyt erian Church 74 Peabody Civic Club The Council now has 62 troops of white Scouts and 8 troops of colored Scouts, a total of 70 troops. Iast year on December 1st we had 61 white troops and 12 colored troops, or a total of 73 troops, hemce we have a net loss of 3 troops during the year ending December 1, 1932. Last year the Council had 1,530 Scouts, whereas this year we have 1,511 Scouts, a net loss of 19 Scouts. The heavies t losses have been among the negro troops- -last year there were 161 colored Scouts while we now have but 105, a net loss of 56 Scouts. During the year there were 9 troops which failed to reregis ter and were dropped from the Council ls rolls. Five of these troops were Nos. 10, 18, 22, 51 and 61 composed of white boys~ and the remainin g four troops were Nos. 104, 106, 107 and 110 composed of colored boys. This last year has been a most difficu lt one in which to secure reregis trations . In our opinion the Council has never had to face such dif- ficultie s in getting leadersh ip and in keeping troops register ed and functioning as we have encount ered during the past twelve months. Economic conditions are reflecte d in our membership very quickly , and numbers of our Scouts ~nd Scouters are unable to pay their registra tion fees. However, we are not the least bit discoura ged about the future growth of the Council , for we feel certain the coming year will see gains instead of losses in our ranks. For 1933 we strongly recommend and urge that every effort be made by the Troop Organiz ation Committee, the Executiv e Board and the Council to carry through to the fullest extent the 10 Year Program of the Nationa l Council which begins·o n January 1, 1933. We believe the 10 Year Program to be one of the most outstand ing forward steps the Movement has ever taken and that we should carry out our part of this Program to the very best of our ability.

In spite of Page 27 �REPORT O'.F SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) pression through which :we are passing, cabi·!l· building has increased at the camp and this makes it possible for troops to use Camp Currier more and more. The second annual Jamboree at the ca.mp was the largest ~e have ever had with 973 Scouts in camp as co!lr9ared to 825 last year. I want to thank Mr. Ra.ymond Skinner. President 'of the Forest Hill Dairy, for his courtesy in loaning his Courtesy Wagon to our various troops to go to Camp Currier. Without his help many of our boys would not have been able to go to the camp this year. This Courtesy Wagon is always fl.ll'nished free of charge and has made nany trips to Camp Currier. Ka.mp Kia Kima had a very successful ·season although the attendance was smaller than last year. In spite of this fact the camp was a financial SllCcess sho~ing a net profit of $13.20 at the end of the ten weeks of operation as compared to $23. 66 in 1931. We were very happy to have u-i th us 37 boys from surrounding councils and I hope these boys will retm:n next year. There is a vital need to secure a larger nwnber of boys to attend Kamp Kia Kima but I feel confident as soon as business conditions return to anything like normal ue will have a narked increase in attendance at camp. The Council has shovm a slight loss in troops and Scouts. For the year. ending December 1, 1931, .re had 73 troops and 1, 530 Scouts, whereas this year \7e have 70 troops and 1,511 Scouts. This year has been a most difficult one in which to secure troop reregistra tions and Scouter reregisttations as financial conditions have· nade it hard for number.s of our men and boys to spare the money for reregistration~ I feel that. during the coming year conditions '.7illirnprove and that ~·1e '1'7ill show a_ very substan.tial gain in both troops and Scouts. One of the most difficult situations we have h~d to meet has been in dealing ui th the negro troops. our heavies't losses have 'been among colored boys. Last year we had 12 negro troops. whereas t.his year we have but 8. Plans have been ta.ken to remedy this situation and I believe in a short time conditions wi 11 be materially improved. I am deeply indebted to Mr. Walter .L. ~ay who has so splendidly without cost . to the serving and preparing; by year the. cooperated throughout has met once -,1hic:h Table Round Leaders Scout the for Council all the meals valuable as tremendously are Council the to each month.

A1"1'.U~L iV;E31'ING, DZC.2~.Gl!:R 15, 1932 * * * * REPORT 0 F ACTIVITI3S COMMITTEE The Activities Committee is pleased to report that despite the unsettled conditions that no'.1 exist the t1·oops of the Cbickasa11 Council are in a heal thy .. condition and there are only a fe;7 troops at the -present time without able and efficient leadership. This year, as for the past two·, the Council is conducting a series of Inter-Troop Rallies to select from the troops of the city the best rally troop. At this rally last year, Troop 1 was the winner in a very heated contest with Troops 3, 13, 19, 26, 27, 37, and 38. The Annual Jamboree at Camp Currier held in May was probably the most successful activity the Council ever had, 973 Scouts taking part and well over a thousand adults attending. This Jamboree started under the most adverse conditions, it being a rainy cold day t:ie first day of the Jamboree, and the troops are to be especially commended for the efficient and workmanlike ID3.nner in which they erected their camps and handled themselves. The Activities Comrni ttee has continued its luncheon club which meets every Friday at Lo11enstein's for a round table discussion and this has proven one of the most worth'.7hile projects the committee has ever attempted. Making this, my final reuort as Commissioner, I desire to thank those men rrho have served on this ;o::mi ttee with me for t!J.eir whole-hearted and unselfish cooperation, they having given unselfishly of their time toward the promotion of better Scouting and I could ma.ke no better recommendation to the new Conmissioner than that he appoint these same men to serve with him on his cowmissioners staff. Respectfully submitted, ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE :By ._a,z~~~ Chairrrlan Page 1. l CHICKASAW COTJNCIL. B. s. A • .ANNUAL MEETING, DECEM3.ER 15, 1932 * * * * REPORT 0 F CAMP CURRIER C 0 M M I T T E E We are pleased to re:9ort that for the year ending December 1, 1932, Camp Currier has had the most successful yeai· in its history. During this year foere uere 9, 18'7 Scout days s-,)ent at caffi9 as comuared to 7, 160 days in 1931, an increase of 2,027 or 28.31. Also we had the pleasure of having 3,328 visitors as compared to 3,046 in 1931, an increase of 282 visitors or 9%. These figures speak volumes in telling of the sustained interest Scouts and Scouters have in our camp. Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier has donated $200.00 to the camp this year which money is to be kept in trust until such time as sufficient funds are available to raise the height of the dam. It is due to Mrs. Currier's generosity that we have the dam on the carno. The dam i1as built in 1931 at a cost of ap:siroximately $700. 00 and is no;7 a height of 14 feet. Mrs. Currier plans to raise the dam to a height of 25 feet \7hich wi 11 impound about 25 acres of ':1ater instead of ap-proximately 10 acres which we no\7 have. We are greatl3r indebted to Mrs. Currier for the \7onderful things she has done to make the camp such a delightful ~lace for our boys to enjoy. The Jamboree held April 29th, 30th and M9.,y ls t '.7aS the largest and most successful we have ever had. There "mre 973 Scouts in camp for this event and doubtless many more ·.10uld have come but for the fact that it rained practically the entire first day of the Jamboree. In spite of difficulties caused by the weather the Scouts '9i tched their tents or opened up their cabins and made themselves comfortable 'Ji th the finest display of Scouting technique' we have ever seen. We believe t~is Jamboree should be an annual event. In spite of the present financial depression cabin building has ma.de splendid progress during t:1is year. Last year there were 20 troops nho had completed cabins on the caffi9, t~ese being Troops No. 5, 8 1 15, 16, 19, 24, 25, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 38, 40, 41, 49, 50, 67, 68, and 69. During t~'l:i.s fiscal year ue are pleased to state that six more cabins have been finished by the follo'.-:ing troops: Nos. 7, 11, 13, 27, 37, and 48. Only four cabins remain unfinished and the fifth has just been begun. Troops 3 and 14 have practically completed their cabins but their finishing touches were not put on in ti~e to be included as completed cabins in this report. We are very proud of the work the troops have done in cabin building this year in spite of adverse conditions. Latrines after the plan of the Shelby County Departme~t of Health have "been built to accommodate the following troops: Nos. 5, 8,. 117 13, 16~ 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 32, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 48, 49, 50, 68, and 69. With all the activity and increased attendance at ca.nip there has been a singular freedom from accident and illness. Thousands of s;7irrming hours resulted in no mishaps, noboC.y needing assistance except two nho failed in passing tests and were helped to shore by assistant life guards. This Page 2. REPO::CT OF CA~.1P CURRIE''- COWHTT:SZ (Continued) record '.1as largely due to ~1reventive :::easuros. The only injury ·.1orth recording suffered by any Scout at Camp Currier ims ca.used by a Scout falling out of a tree and breaking his nrrr, this 1:;.fter he had been re:rpea tedly r:arned to stay out of the tall trees. E'lis year has ·;ti tnessed the co::iplete es t<.:.blishment of t1.1e lake so that -.-1e feel it is safe from destruction by hi'.¢1 ·.mter. Several times during the summer the lake level '.·1as r.dsed above the norrrol outlet but the surplus water ··.m.s easily hnndled \7ithout resortin;g to the or:1ergency pipe under the dam. The dam is noi7 in splendid condition a!ld is completely covered rli th Bermuda grass 11hic~1 protects it in case of overflo".7. This grass ·.ms donated to the en.mp by 111!'. E. A. Smith of the Camp Currier Cammi ttco. J.1.nother "9leasing fact is tl1at the beautiful clearness of the water has been maintained even follo·:Ting the heaviest rains. This d-:mbtless is because almost none of the drainage basin is cultivated and it ·.1i 11 continue to be in this condition because this area is ormed and controlled b;i• us • .A splendid start has been made in stocking the lake ·,-,i th game fish this yenr. The first consignment of fish put into the lake ;ms 300 rainbo11 trout from the Tonnossoe State Hatchery near N.'.lshvi lle follor1ing '.7hich about a thousand black bass fin,gerlings ·.wre donated to the camp by the Izaac 1.70.lton League of !1iem:9his from the Rainbo'.-: Ln.kc at Overton park; after i7hich a!r'._)roxirrntcly 3, 600 perch of several species »iere obtained from the borro'.7 pi ts along the Mississippi levee by i;>ermission of t:-ie Mississip"?i Game and Fish Commis• sion and ·out into the lake. All of tl18se fish Here put into the ·.1nter in a very s:nort space of time, About t\70 ·;reeks after the perch ·.-rcre put in a thousand bream from the United States Fish Hatchery at rr'u:pclo ·.:ere put into the lake togefoer i7ith 40 black bass fir:.:a:e:i:-lings, the gift of Prof. Evern Jones of Hernando, Mississippi. It is contemplated that more fish ·aill be added from time to time and that the lake •:rill aL;:iys be completely stocked ·17ith fish. One of the principal and most im;iortant improvements rm.de at the co.mp durin2; the past year 0,1as a nen fence made of barbed r;ire and hog \1ire all around the reservation. This iffi?rovoment was rnade by funds raised by Nir. Walter Lane Smith, Chairnnn of the Councills Finance Committee. The fence has greatly hel~od inasmuch as it keeps all stock off the camp and makes it possi0le to keep the ~round in a much more sanitary condition as r1e 11 as keeping poachers and dogs off the property. Another excellent -project this year 110.s the planting of native trees and ornamental shrubs according to the plans ilrn\7n by Mr. :rave Renfrm1 of the Memp:1is Pnrk Commission i7i th a vier1 to rounding out the beauty of the ca;T!P in a way that '.Jill harmonize \nth the natural 'iioods that already covers most of the pro·perty. Completion of this project could not be expected in one year but due to the generosity of Mrs,, M. M. Betts of the Mem1):his Art Academy a large number of al thea bushes -..ere planted on the drive leading from the entrance to the headquarters. Other don:..itions of various shrubs have also been received and planted from various friends of the camp. In planning for Camp Currier for 1933 we recommend t..11.e follo,-:-ing: 1. That t:'le principal camp roads be covered ;1i th gravel so that Page 3. REPORT OF CAMP CURRIE~t COM1V.ITTEE (Continued) all cabins may be reached in ~et ~eather. 2. That the camp water supply be enlarged so that ~7ater 11ill be available throug.~out the camp. 3. The ceiling of t~e u~stairs rooms of tn0 Ben S.

A large part of the work of this committee is to decide in :>hich activity Scouts will be nermitted to take :part. This is very necessary in order to prevent the movement from being exploited for private or selfish motives. We have had to refuse rrany requests for the services of Scouting during this year and rrany good turns '.1ere done which are not included in this report. .Among the princirial services rendered are the following: 1. Served in Cotton Carnival~ (a) Ushers in Grand Stand (b) Parade with masks {c) Torch bearers in parade (d) Put on Boston Tea Party (e) Pages at Hotel Peabody (f) Drum and Bugle Cor-9s in parade (g) Sea Scouts as Washington's Soldiers (h) Scout float in parade 2.

It's a big imoroverrent over the last year from a Merit Badge standpoint. Some of the Merit Badges that the Scouts have taken show a little decrease but in the wbole on the ones that have a 'Jig bearing on Scouting, we feel that they have done a very, very eood job and in the doing of this good job we would want to express our very sincere tharJ{s to the splendid work which has been done by ScoutIIB.sters, Asst. Scoutmasters and the many Scouters who have done the examining of the Scouts before they reach the Court of Honor for final passage, and we would want to lay great stress on this outstanding wor~ that these splendid men have done on the Merit Badge work. We would also want to -9raise the work which was done this last summer at Kamp Kia Kima, for it was a splendid work and the chairman particularly wants to thank the men who have been so active on the Court of Honor this past year, Wit~out them we could not have functioned. That you might know how much improved our Merit Badge work has been, the Chairman would just like to say that a few years ago it was a very easy matter for one Court to examine the boys in a very short tirre each Court of Honor meeting. In the past year it has been necessary practically ever-~ Court of Honor meeting to hold three courts to take care of the boys. You can appreciate the work that these men have been doin~ because our Merit Badge examinations run from 80 to 100 each night. There are a few Merit Badges that I would like to call your attention to on uhich our boys have nade a splendid record this year and very important Merit Badges they are: Bird Study, Carpentry, Civics, Cookin;g, First Aid, Forestry, Handicraft, Life Saving, Pioneering, S\1imming. There is one Merit Badge that our Scouts have inrproved on a little but I hope the next year that foey will sho'7 a very marked improvement and that is the Merit Badge Safety, a thing that every citizen needs to give a little thou,ght to every day from the reports ne see in t:.1e pa."?er on the loss of life, and the Court of Honor also rrishes that all those ~ho are connected ~ith various troops uill give serious analysis to these Merit Badges and let's next year shou even a better record than we have made this year, and we would ~ant you to knoi1 that \7C stand ready at all time> to assist you in any way that qe can.

ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER 15, 1932 * * * * REPORT 0 F CUBBIUG COMMITTEE On recommendation of the Executive Board of the Council a Cub Charter rras a:pplied for and received from National Headquarters in March, 1932. Earlier in the year one group o!: about 40 boys - ages 10 to 12 - had organized themselves into what t~ey called a pack and were meeting Friday nights without any fixed pro{St"am or authorized leaders. This group \18.S reorganized, supplied i:1itn Cub Handbooks, a Cubmaster, three First Class Scouts as Den Leaders, and a Pack Cormnittee according to the plan of the National Council. This group of leade~s later attended a special training course under the direction of Dr. H. w. Hurt from National Headquarters and the or~anization is now knoVTn as Pack ffel, sponsored by the Idlenild Presbyterian Church. The Cub Corrmittee has had considerable difficulty in the proper reorfP,nization of this one group which was started before trained leadership was available or the program carefully studied. We recomnend that any church, or other s~onsoring organization, wishing to organize a Pack, first apply to Scout Headquarters, confer with the Cub Comnittee, and have the pro6I'8.Jll well in mind before starting. The program is entirely different from Scouting; much of it is in the :pioneer or n try out" stage. Therefore, we believe the Cub Movement, altho~ gh eventually a wonderful aid to Scouting and an actual necessity in dev~loping more and better Scouts, should be built up gradually and ~ith great care.

There were no serious injuries and no serious cases of illness at Camu Currier, Kamp Kia Kina, or Ca:119 Daniels. The only injury worth mentioning was on.e 'broken arm sustained by a Scout who fell out of a tree at Camp Currier, and the only case of illness v1as that of a boy who ate too mu.c'.1 food out of a ~)OX sent to him at Karen Kia Zima wi:iich resulted in a case of nettle rash. .2ot~1 of these cases responded very well to treatment and no permanent ill effects resulted. Your committee was instrumental in having a general sanitary survey of Kamp Kia Kim by a trained inspector of the Mem.J:1is Health Department. The camp was found to be in good condition and a favorable reuort was made by the inspector. :7e wisn to commend the Camp Currier Cora:nittee for the work which has been done toward sanitation at the camp t:-ds year in the b 1.ii lding of latrines for the various troops. The Scouts have done a ~'e~t deal of good work for the Shelby Cou..~ty Tuberculosis Society in clistri'l:!utin:~ blotters and posters whenever called on to do so by the Society. For 1933 we recommend: 1. That Scouts continue the good work of former years. 2. That Scouts be urged to be irrmunized against srrall pox and tYPhoid fever before going to camo each year unless this matter has already been attended to. 3. That consideration be given to health progTarrs at general or troop meetings once eacb year. Respectfully submitted, H.JaLTH Alff) SAFETY COMMITTEE Bv " Chairman Page 13. CHICKASAW COUNCIL. B. S. A. ANNUAL M1!:3THrG. DEC1JMBZrt 15, 1932 * • * "' REPORT 0 F INT1iR-R.ACIAL C 0 M M I T T E E We regret to report that Scouting among colored boys has been at a low ebb during the yea:r ending December 1. 1932. On December 1st of last year we had 12 troops of colored boys and 161 Scouts. This year we have but 8 troops and 105 Scouts, a net loss for the year of 4 troo~s and 56 Scouts. This is a serious loss to the Council and "ile earnestly recommend that continuous endeavors be ma.de to stem the loss of Scouts and troops. We do not like to rna~e comparisons between white and negro troops but we think it well for all Scouters to kno« that only 5 ~hite troops were dropped during the year from the total of 67 white troops on the Council's rolls, a loss of 7.4% as comnared to the loss of 33.3~ among the colored troops. Ue fullyrealize that economic conditions havo a great deal to do uith the failure of negro troops and Scouts to reregister but at the same time we believe a sustained effort on the uart of the negro leaders and the Council can do much to1ra.rd koeping these b~ys in Scouting. We believe Scouting among colored boys was never needed as badly as at the present time \7he~ we are passing tDrough ~ financial depression which has severely affected our unemployment sit'Uation. With approximately 36% of the population of Shelby County being negroes there is a. vast field for Scouting to do a tremendous amount of good and ~e have the opportunity to do it. Ue strongly recommend that ne~ troops be organized just as rapidly as competent leadership can be found and trained and financial conditions wilI permit. Below is a comparison of the ITork done by colored Scouts during 1932 as compared to 1931: Second Class Badr:;es Awarded First Class Badges Aiicll'ded Merit Bads~s Awarded Star Badges Awarded 1931 1932 16 9 44 0 11 8 52 3 There ·.1ere 8 Cowts of Honor beld for colored "l:loys during the year. One of the ~rincipal reasons for t~e loss of colored Scouts is their failure to advance beyond the Tenderfoot Rank a.~d we urge that emphasis be placed on advancement during 1933. \7e also recornme:1.d that more stress be placed on camping and other out-door activities durir..g the coming year. The third annual surrmer ca"ttp, k:J.o\7Il as Camp Daniels, was conducted from Au,~u.st 22nd to August 29th of tbis year under the direction of J. A.

As recommended in last year's camp report we inaugurated a policy of having visitors days on wednesday and Saturday afternoon and all day Sundays and found that this was muc~'- better than having visitors coming into camp all during the week. We recommend this :9olicy be continued next year. During the past season for the first time we had a party of Scouts and Scouters to repair canoes at the end of camo. Several canoes were recanvased and nine canoes in all were put in condition to t~rn the water next spring. 1.le believe t:,is is a good policy inasmucn as it allows the paint to dry during the winter months and we believe uill result in longer wear in the canoes. For 1933 we recommend the following: 1. That every effort be made to secure a larger attendance of Scouts. 2. That the mess hall be rescrecned. 3. That a nen double ave~ range for the kitchen be purchased. 4. That a new gasoline ensine for the pump be purchased. 5. That a concrete cesspool be built in place of the wooden one no\1 in use. 6.

RZPORT 0 F P U B L I C I T Y C 0 M U I T T E E The Publicity Committee repo~ts that during the fiscal year ending Decem"Jer 1, 1932, "The Press SciF.1itar" has given excellent cooperation by running a quarter page known as 11 The Scout P1·ess Sci mi tar" once each week. This pa3e is widely read by Sco1J.ts and Scouters and it is of tremendous help to Headquarters in that it keeps t~e troops, boys a~d officials informed of Council activities. We appreciate the cooperation shown by this paper and its reporters and officials and feel that it has been of much assistance to the C ounc i 1. "The Evening .Appealn has also cooperated by g1v1ng the Counci 1 much ne·.1s space and stories as well as a colunm conducted by one of its reporters in which many items of interest to the Scouts appear weekly. 11 The Evening Appeal 11 also has a cup which is the coveted goal of all troops in the Inter-Troop Rally Tournament. \Ve wish to thank 11 The Evening Appeal11 for its help. 11 The Coranercial Appeal" has given us a number of news stories and much needed publicity in the Cotton Carnival as well as during other periods of the year. We thank them also. The Council has published a little paper known as 11 The Council Fire 11 • It is of much help to the troops as it enables the Executive to expl. ain to the Scoutmasters the planned actiYities, etc. This paper is sent to all of the Council as well as the officials. There is a publication known as "The Chieftain11 through which the news of troops and activities of the negro troops is sent to troops, officials, and Council Members. The Inter-Troop Rally Tournament held at Ellis Auditorium in February 1932 drew quite a crowd ap,""_ served to draw attention to Scouting. T'.ae use of Scouts in the Cotton Carnival and l7as:1ington Bi-Centennial Celebration served to give additional publicity to Scouts and Scouting. One of the most effective uses of Scouts during the past year was the distribution by uniformed Scouts of 17,018 coin boxes for the Mayor's Unem~loyment Relief Fund. For the ensuing year we recommend: That special efforts be n:ade to secure additional space in the newspapers and that editorials, ne~s stories and other publicity features be used as freely as possible. page 19.

It is a pleasure to re-9ort that the number of b_oys awarded the Merit Badge in Reading has sho~n a slight increase this year over last. One of the requirements to pass the Reading Merit Badge is that a Scout be a subscriber to a magazine for Scouts and a strict adherence to this requirement shows that. the boys have a keen interest in "Eoys 1 Life:ft. T'4e Cossitt Library followed its usual eustom of loaning~ ·collection of books to Kamp Kia Kima this season and tbe use of these books thoroughly demonstrates the value. of good books in the ci;i.mp. There is a decided improvement in the care the boys are taking of the books-sent to Kamp Kia Kima and this year the darrage to them v:as very slight and there were no books lost. T~1is ssieaks well ·for the· boys,,. training in the care of bpoks .at ca~. The Reading Committee would like to see every Scout in Chickasaw Council a subscriber to the splendid magazine "Boys 1 Life11 • In times of economic stress it is difficult for many boys to subscripe to a magazine but since "Boys t Life11 has ':)een reductJd to 75¢ per year when ten or more Scouts subs'crFle at the time of their troop regist:?:"ation, we feel that every Scoutmaster and Committeeman should strain a point to secure the necessary money to make "Boys t Lif en available to every boy in the troop. Your Committee recommends: 1. That in 1933 emphasis be placod on the securing of a greater number of readers of ":Soys t Life" in Chickasaw Co".mcil and that definite steps be made to increase the numoer of subscribers by the Reading Committee. 2. That a reading list of ap~roved books for Scout use be compiled and 'that this list be used as a basis of reading for the Reading Merit Eadge. 3, That Scoutmasters encourage reading from such a list. 4.

We are deeply grateful to the Scout Leaders and Council Members both National and Local who gave freely of their time and experience in serving as instructors and officers for these schools and training courses. Dr. H. W. Hurt, Directo~ of Research for the National Council, conducted a school for leaders in the cub packs for 19 menbers. ten of whom received their certificates. In the spring the Miniutuip Course of the Five Year Program was conducted far 52 members of. the Local Counyil, 36 of thes~ men. receiving c e r t i f icates, Mr. Perry Pipkin, Scoutmaster .of Troop 34, .served as. the very capable Scoutmaster of this· school, most ably ~~sisted by Mr. c.

Delaney, Scoutmaster of l, and H. R. Schwarzkopf, Scoutmaster of 26. as Patrol Leaders. , Late this fall this same c·ourse was offered again, due to the large number of new Scoutmasters in the Council, under the following leaders. Dr. Howard Curl, District Corrmissioner, as· Scoutmaster; Mr. c. H. Church, Scout- .master of 48, as Assistant Scoutmas~er; Mr. Joe Flanagan, Scoutmaster of 3, as Senior Patrol Leader; and Messrs. Miller Johnson, Scoutrmster of 8, Wightman Hughes, Scoutmaster of 5, Jack Bondurant, Scoutmaster of 74, and Guy Boyer, Scoutmaster of ?, served as Patrol Leaders to a school of 54 men. The exact number to receive certificates has not been determined at this writing. This school went immediately into the work of the Approved Course with Mr. Fraser .Estes, Scoutmaster of 13, replacing Mr. Boyer as Patrol Leader. This school is now in session with an attendance of 53. The colored Scoutnasters of the Council held a training school under the leadership of J. A. :Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities, with an attendance of 30 men, 17 of whom received a certificate. Your Comnit tee wishes to advise that .the reason certificates are not awarded to these schools 100% is due almost entirely to the inability of the men to meet the requirements of the course in the m tter of time in attendance, a certain number of hours attendance being required in each school. To our retiring President, Mr. C. T. McCabe, your Corrmittee owes a multitude of thanks and its sincere appreciation for his assistance in securing space in the Shrine Building for these schoels and for his never-fail- Page 24. !lilPORT OF TRAINING COMMIT'r.cS (Continued) ing personal support.

ANNUAL MEETING, DECEM.B.ER 15 I 1932 * * * * RIPORT OF TROOP ORGAVIZATI.QN COMMITTEE Your Committee reports that during the year ending December 1, 1932, there were 6 troops of white Scouts and no troops of colored Scouts organized. These 6 troops and their sponsoring institutions are as follows: Troop 35 Troop 42 Troop 51 Troop 55 Troop 58 Troop 74 Highland Heigpts Presbyterian Church St. John's Episcopal Church Rebecca Memorial Methodist Church Parlavay Methodist Church McLemore Ave. Presbyterian Church Peabody Civic Club The Council now has 62 troops of white Scouts and 8 troops of colored Scouts, a total of 70 troops. Iast year on December 1st we had 61 white troops and 12 colored troops, or a total of 73 troops, hemce we have a net loss of 3 troops during the year ending December 1, 1932. Last year the Council had 1,530 Scouts, whereas this year we have 1,511 Scouts, a net loss of 19 Scouts. The heaviest losses have been among the negro troops--last year there were 161 colored Scouts while we now have but 105, a net loss of 56 Scouts. During the year there were 9 troops which failed to reregister and were dropped from the Councills rolls. Five of these troops were Nos. 10, 18, 22, 51 and 61 composed of white boys~ and the remaining four troops were Nos. 104, 106, 107 and 110 composed of colored boys. This last year has been a most difficult one in which to secure reregistrations. In our opinion the Council has never had to face such difficulties in getting leadership and in keeping troops registered and functioning as we have encountered during the past twelve months. Economic conditions are reflected in our membership very quickly, and numbers of our Scouts ~nd Scouters are unable to pay their registration fees. However, we are not the least bit discouraged about the future growth of the Council, for we feel certain the coming year will see gains instead of losses in our ranks. For 1933 we strongly recommend and urge that every effort be made by the Troop Organization Committee, the Executive Board and the Council to carry through to the fullest extent the 10 Year Program of the National Council which begins·on January 1, 1933. We believe the 10 Year Program to be one of the most outstanding forward steps the Movement has ever taken and that we should carry out our part of this Program to the very best of our ability.

The Court of Honor has set a Council record in the number of Merit :Badges awarded, the camping program has been carried out splendidly, more Scouts have won their Eagle Badge than in any other year, and more Scouters· are actively working with troops than in any time in the history of the Council. To appreciate the splendid work the boys are doing in winning Merit ~dges .it is necessary to compare the work of the last three years: .. Merit Badges Awarded for Year Ending December 1, 1932 11 11 11 tt 11 11 December l, ·1931 - 2, 114 1,780 1,150 tt 11 11 t1 t1 · n ·December 1, 1930 - . Fro~ . .this it wi 11 be seen that the· \70rk of the Court of Honor has almost been .. , -doubled during the past three years, This is an especially fine -piece of· Ylork and t:1ere.is every indication that it will continue to grow next year• This has been the most difficult year in the history of the Council so far as finances a.re concerned and but for· the generoiis help of the Scouters who contributed to the :Emergency Fund the Council woula not have been able to S)lrv:i.ve financially, Even nith this help ue have not been able to pay our quota to, the National Council atnounting to $350. 00. This is a very bad si tuation and I hope 1 t can be remedied vTI. thin the very near future. }l:ad we not been able to borrow money· from some of our snecial accounts' ne would not have been able to have kept the Council bills paid. As it ·i's, we have not as yet (Decembe~ 12th) received our November allotment from the Memohis Community Fund, an4, r1e. therefor.a have not paid our Novem'ber ·bills. Other than these bills and the amo'Wlt d~ the National Council, our Council 1s free of debt. Tfiere ha'.s been a 'vast improvement at Camp Currier during this year. Throu,~1 the good work of Mri. Walter Lane Smith, Chairtran t>f the Finance Committee, funds were made available to build a wire fence co~letely aro~nd the property and thus pr.otect it from stock which in the past has roamed freely over. the camp. This is one of the biggest i~rovements we have ever had at .ca.mp. The lake which nas .built lo.st year throug..11 the generosity of Mrs~ Elizabeth E. Currier is beautifully clear and has been well stocked with fish. This year N~s. Currier has very generously given $200.00 to be added to the Camp Currier Lake Fund which has for its obj€ctive the raising of the dam from 14 feet to a height of 2.5 feet. This ;1ould impound about 25 acres of -.w.ter as compared to the ten acres we nou have. 17e certainly appreciate Mrs. Currier•s splendid generosity and the uonderful contributions she has made to the camp. For the year ending December 1, 1930, there were 3,564 Scout days .. spent at Camp Currier and the following ye.ar there nere 7,150 days while for the year ending December 1, 1932, there \1ere 9,187 Scout days spent on the ca~. This is truly a remarkable increase in attendance and attests to the populari tY of the camp \vhich is constantly increasing. In spite of the de- Page 27 REPORT O'.F SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) pression through which :we are passing, cabi·!l· building has increased at the camp and this makes it possible for troops to use Camp Currier more and more. The second annual Jamboree at the ca.mp was the largest ~e have ever had with 973 Scouts in camp as co!lr9ared to 825 last year. I want to thank Mr. Ra.ymond Skinner. President 'of the Forest Hill Dairy, for his courtesy in loaning his Courtesy Wagon to our various troops to go to Camp Currier. Without his help many of our boys would not have been able to go to the camp this year. This Courtesy Wagon is always fl.ll'nished free of charge and has made nany trips to Camp Currier. Ka.mp Kia Kima had a very successful ·season although the attendance was smaller than last year. In spite of this fact the camp was a financial SllCcess sho~ing a net profit of $13.20 at the end of the ten weeks of operation as compared to $23. 66 in 1931. We were very happy to have u-i th us 37 boys from surrounding councils and I hope these boys will retm:n next year. There is a vital need to secure a larger nwnber of boys to attend Kamp Kia Kima but I feel confident as soon as business conditions return to anything like normal ue will have a narked increase in attendance at camp. The Council has shovm a slight loss in troops and Scouts. For the year. ending December 1, 1931, .re had 73 troops and 1, 530 Scouts, whereas this year \7e have 70 troops and 1,511 Scouts. This year has been a most difficult one in which to secure troop reregistra tions and Scouter reregisttations as financial conditions have· nade it hard for number.s of our men and boys to spare the money for reregistration~ I feel that. during the coming year conditions '.7illirnprove and that ~·1e '1'7ill show a_ very substan.tial gain in both troops and Scouts. One of the most difficult situations we have h~d to meet has been in dealing ui th the negro troops. our heavies't losses have 'been among colored boys. Last year we had 12 negro troops. whereas t.his year we have but 8. Plans have been ta.ken to remedy this situation and I believe in a short time conditions wi 11 be materially improved. I am deeply indebted to Mr. Walter .L. ~ay who has so splendidly cooperated throughout the. year by preparing; and serving without cost . to the Council all the meals for the Scout Leaders Round Table -,1hic:h has met once each month. Mr. Grayrs services to the Council are tremendously valuable as there is no doubt but what his splendid \1ork has built ~ the lfound Table to where it is of much value to the Scouters of the Council. Our Sea Scouts have been remarkably active and I want to invite your attention to the report of the Sea Scout Committee. They have certainly done a fine job this year. I certainly appreciate Dr. Leroy's kindness in allowing the Sea Scouts to use his boat for their training. · Cubbing was started this year vii th one pack sponsored· by the Idlewild Presbyterian Church. 1'his is a splend:i,d program for young boys and I expect it to develop.a good deal in 1933. · As usual, the Scouts have done sone very fine Community Good Turns and I \1ould like to call your attention to the Civic Relations Committee Renort. The Council. is proud of the work our boys have done. I nant to than:tc the ne\1Spapers for the publicity they have given Scouting activities during the past year, especially the Press Scimitar which page 28. REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) has eiven a quarter-page of Scout news every week. This -publicity has been of much benefit to the Council. Chickasaw Cou.~cil could not have made the splendid record it has for this. year had not the officers and members of the Executive Board, the Council Members, Merit Badge Counselors, District Commissioners, Scoutmasters, .Assistant Scoutmasters and Troop CoirJ!Ilitteemen cooperated at all times. I particularly want to thank the Office~s and Members of the Standing Committees for their especially fine Tiork. Many demands ha.ve been made on some of our Scouters for time that they could ill afford to give, but they have· all helped whenever and wherever they could. I wi;:int to take this opportunity to than.1< each and every man who has worked \7ith the Council this year for the sacrifices they have made and the real work they have done that our Council might give to our boys every op~9ortuni ty to become better citizens through the advantages of Scouting, I am especially indebted to our President, N.r. C. T. McCabe, who has so unselfishly given of his splendid ability throu&-~out the year in planning and working for the betterment of the Council. It has been a real pleasure to work ni th him. ' In planning the '.1ork of the Council for 1933 I recommend: 1. That every effort be made touard getting the Ten Year Program established and that plans be carefully laid to increase the number of troops and Scouters just as rapidly as funds are available to take care of the ex~ense. Several ships of Sea Scouts should be included in this council growth as '7ell as several Cub Packs. 2. That \7e have another Merit Badge Exposition if financial conditions wi 11 permit. 3. That ~e continue to train our leaders and give them the benefit of more knmiledge of Scouting. 4. That another Jamboree be held at Camp Currier. 5. That ear],y plans be made to secure a larger attendance at Kamp Kia Kima so that a larger percent of our boys will have the benefit of this camp. 6. That increased emphasis be laid on Scouting for negro boys and that 11e organize new troops whenever the proper leadership and supervision can be secured. 7, That we encourage every troop to build a cabin at Ca~ Currier if they do not now ?ossess one. 8. That the Council secures funds ;1ith which to pay the 1932 quota due the National Council. g, That every effort be made th'.rough additional "9ublicity and other means to educate the public .at large and especially the heads of churches and other institutions as to the val~e of Scout training.
