To the Friends of Scouting: The Condensed Report of Standing Committees, which follows, furnishes a brief outline of the Council's work for the year ending December 1, 1935. It will give you a synopsis of what has been done by each of the 18 Standing Committees, but it does not adequately describe the untiring efforts and the unselfish work of the men who are serving the boyhood of our city --- the Scoutmasters, the District Commissioners, the Committee Members, the Troop Committeemen, the Merit Badge Counselors, the Council Members, the Exocutivo Board --- all of these who are colloctivol y giving many thousands of hours each yea:r that our boys may have the advantages of Scout training. Words a.re futile things to ox:pross the valuo of the work of our volunteer loaders or to thank them proporl.y for their contributio n in enriching the lives of our boys. Their reward is the knowledge of having accomplishe d much in propa.i~ing our boys to become men of cha:ra.ctor trained for participati ng citizenship , and the satisfactio n of a job uell done. I want to ta.kB this opportunity to tell each and every Scouter horr greatly I appreciate the fine \'Tork he has done and the sacrifice he has made in order that the boys of Memphis may have the advantages and opportunities of Scouting• .%~/Jc~ Scout Executive December 10, 1935 �·----------------------------------------- ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE ~final rallies which gave them perma1 '. nent possession of "The Evening Appeal The Scouts of Chickasaw Council : Cup."

Mr. President and Fellow Scouters: It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity of telli?Jg you of some of the activities in which Scouts and Scouters have· eng98ed and som3 of the accomplishment s of the Council during the fiscal year ending December lst. ACTIVITIES A large Il1l1Jlber of troops participated in the Inter-Troop Rally Tournament for the "Evening Appeal Cup.a Troop 15 of the :Bellevue :Baptist Cb.arch won the cup for.the 3rd time and now had permanent possession of it. Troop 25, sponsored by the Congregation of Children of Israel finished in second place in theh tournament while Troop 19 of the Union Ave. Baptist Church came in 3rd. The rallies are now going on for the 1935-36 season and will be completed by Amdversaty Week in February. Q.AMPING Scouts and Scouters have had fine camping experiences this year. The 5th J\Ilnual Camp Currier Jamboree was held at Camp Currier for a period of two and a half days with l,034 Scouts taking part. The boys engaged in many outdoor activities such as Tent Pitching, forestry, Signalling, Wall Scaling etc. The Bally Tournament gives them lots of practice in indoor events like First Aid, Knot Tying, Signalling, etc. but the Jamboree gives them an opportunity to get into the open and use these things in a practical way. Everybody had a wonde1ii- f'lll time at the Jamboree and I am glad to report there was not a single serious accident~.n•••h Taken as a whole the boys did the best job of campiDg and takeing care of themselves in the open they have ever done. In the Annual Camp Currier Contest for the Camp Currier Cup scouts put in thousands of hours at the Camp inmald.Jl€ c~ improvements, build- ing nature trails and otherwise doing good turns for themselves and the camp. �(2) Troop 61, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, won the cup. These Scouts did an out- standing piece of work and deserved to win but they were closely pressed by Troop 68 ·• Troop l of the First Methodist Oh.urch did good work of the .American Legion. to finish in third. place. This Contest runs the year round and is a constant incentive for boys to do more and better work in the open. There are now 32 cabins owned by troops on Camp Currier and two more uilder constructio n. These cabins would be used a great deal more and the Camp would benefit the Scouts of our Council to a m:ach peasax larger degree if adeq'\l&te swimming facilities were available at the camp. A concrete swi.mlling pool is the only solution to our swimm:i:ng problem and it is the most vitally needed piece of equipment on the Camp. (Ka.mp Kia Kima) At Kamp Kia Xi.ma., which is at Hardy, Ark. the Scouts enjoyed an especially fine year. .An average of 83 Scouts per week attended the Kamp, which is the largest we have ever bad, and the average stq in Kamp was a little over 3 weeks per boy. dent. The health of the Camp was good and there was not a single serious acci- In fact, I believe a boy is safer at either camp than he is in Memphis. The one really needed piece of equipment at Kia Kim& is a tennis court. Ma:ey Scouts are accustomed to playing tennis in the sumner time in Memphis and they miss this sport when they are in camp. La.ck of funds prevented the building of this court during the past year but we hope it will be possible for finance its constructio n during the comi:ng season. Kamp had one pieve of bad luck during the year. house caught fire and burned to the ground. household possessions . The caretakers The caretaker lost most of his mm Under the supervision of the camp Committee another house was built at a cost of $387.42 1 the Council furnishizg the materials and the caretaker furnishing the labor. All things considered the camping Activities were very succesaf'lll duriDg the past year and I feel they should be and will be improved on during the coming year. �(3) COURT OF HONOR As some of you will doubtless recall, there was a decided let down in Court of Honor work in 1934 due to the change of system in handling Merit :Badges.• • A.t that time the boys were required to go before a :Board of Review before going to the Court of Honor. This proved unpopular with the boys and resulted in a number of them losing interest in Merit :Badge work. This Board of Review was eliminated during 1935. ui The City is now divided into four Districts for the Court of Honor, each District Court of Honor beiDg under the direction of a Vice-Chairman, who holds Court once each month. This system makes it easier for a Scout to attend the Court of Honor and the boys like it, as is shown by the fact that a marked increase in advancement and in the number of Merit :Badges awarded was made during the year% just passed.' More men are interested in the Court df Honor work and it is organized on a sound basis. CIVIS SERVI CE, Our Scouts have given thousands of hours of work this year, as usual, • in helping mm with civic activities. They have co-operated with the Chamber of Com:nerce, the Sb.elby County .Anti-Tuberculosis Society, the Cotton Carnival, the Spirit of Christmas Parade, the Jr. Chamber of Comnerce, the Federal Housing A.dministration and other organizations. A. number of letters are on file from the Mayor, the Vice Mayor and other prominent citizens thanking the Council for the work the boys did in helping to make possible the splendid success of these enterprises. I would like to read one short letter describing the action of Scout :Bob Miller of Troop 4 during the Sprrit of Christmas parade. It is from Mrs. M. H. Webster of Oxford, Miss. and reads as follows: (Read Letter) \/ ------' �~(4) ~· • INTER-RACIAL SCOUTING The Council is making steady progress in Scouting for negro boys • Under the direction of the Inter-Bacial Committee, Camp Daniels for negro Scouts was conducted at Douglas Park for one week during the summer. enjoyed their experiences and a.re real~ The boys thoroughly learning to take care of themselves in the open as well as getting a thorough Scout Training. :Each year they do a better job of camping and during 1936 it is hoped to lengthen their camping period to at least two w•wks.

These youngsters really enjoy the program and during next year we s :tould have a large number of Cuba.

This is a new pd part of the Scout program and is con- fined to older boys, that is 15 years of age and above. It should be of tremendous help in holding our old.er boys in Scouting and I look forward to splendid growth during the coming year. TRAINING A n'\llilber · of training courses for Scout Leaders have provided help and useful information to our men during the year. Courses in Elements of Scoutmastership, Cubbing, and Sea scouting have been ma.de available. In addition, \ the first School for Patrol Leaders was a real success with Scouts enrolled. A. course in Principles of Scoutmastership is now being conducted at Southwestern which is affording 40 men an opportunity to real Jy study the deeper meanings of the Scout Program of character building and citizenship training. - - - -------------- - �~(5) . TROOP ORGANIWION • As of December 1st there were 1,943 Scouts on the rolls of the Council as compared to 1 1 877 last year, a gain of 66 Scouts.· There were 83 Troops or a gain of four over last year. of negro Scouts. There a.re 66 troops o# white Scouts and 17 This is a very small gain and I sincerely hope and believe we ska:Uli:z11:mcex shall have a much larger growth during the coming year. There are over 11,000I} boys of Scouts age in our Council, not to mention the younger boys of Ooh age, 9--12. If we are to reach the National objective of one of every four boys a Scout trained man of four years Scouting experience, we must recruit more boys and more men to lead them. We can do the job and I am firmly convinced we will. FINANCE one a larger budget. of the most important mDim.ia.mf needs of the Council is For years we have operated on a small budget, in fact, one which has made it extremely difficult for the Council to operate on efficiently. • things have not been done on account of lack of Finance. Many However, I am proud of th:: work done by the men who worked so faithfully in the Fina.nee Campaign for they raised a total of $12,433.95 in cash and pledges, or $577.47 more than was secured in 1934. The Council, as usual lived within its income and nza1a under the careful supervision of the Finance Committee we will contin'UB to do so• The books of the Council were audited by Peat, Marwick,* Mitchell & Co. enough funds available to carry on for another year We have ~n:lblF'ikexi11st on practicaly the same basis we have for the past several years, but we do not have enough money to afford the advantages of Scouting to the number of boys who should be in it. Hence, I earnestly recommend that every effort be ma.de to secure at leaat $16,000.00 during the eDltq Finance Campaign next October. JAMBOREE As you know, the Natidnal Jamboree to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the • founding of Scouting had to be called off on account of the epidemic of infantile para1ysi s in Virginia and Maryland. This was a severe disappointment to the 47 boys from Memphis and the 9 Scouts from surrounding Councils who were to go to �~ashington. e The NatioDO.l Council has be held in the wummer of 1937. PD recent].;>" """""""ed that the Jamboree will This should be an outstanding event and we should prepare ourselves to take advantage of it durin@ the year 1936. In conclusion, let me say that I have not, due to lack of time, bea able to give you all of the details of the Councils activities. They will be fo'lllld in the iRJ Condensed Repol"is of Committees which will be shortly given to you and which I hope you will read. 9 • These reports represents a tremendous amount of work on the part of the Scouters of the Council and I want to take this opportunity to tbal'lkzn~zmaazU.zkazillQ done. each and every one of you for the work you have i'a• ix~ixatsxu11~~zli:nexzi:ax*ka I cannot adequately describe the un- selfish devotion and the tireless efforts our Scouters have put forth this year in making it possible for our boys to enjoy the advantages of Scouting, but I do w&lt to tell you that I deeply appreciate every single thing you have done for the bettel\oo ment of our boys.'

To the Friends of Scouting: The Condensed Report of Standing Committees, which follows, furnishes a brief outline of the Council's work for the year ending December 1, 1935. It will give you a synopsis of what has been done by each of the 18 Standing Committees, but it does not adequately describe the untiring efforts and the unselfish work of the men who are serving the boyhood of our city --- the Scoutmasters, the District Commissioners, the Committee Members, the Troop Committeemen, the Merit Badge Counselors, the Council Members, the Exocutivo Board --- all of these who are colloctivoly giving many thousands of hours each yea:r that our boys may have the advantages of Scout training. Words a.re futile things to ox:pross the valuo of the work of our volunteer loaders or to thank them proporl.y for their contribution in enriching the lives of our boys. Their reward is the knowledge of having accomplished much in propa.i~ing our boys to become men of cha:ra.ctor trained for participating citizenship, and the satisfaction of a job uell done.

SCOUT EXECUTIVE'S REPQRT AT THE .AENUAL MEETING DECEMBER 10, 1935, Mr. President and Fellow Scouters: It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity of telli?Jg you of some of the activities in which Scouts and Scouters have· eng98ed and som3 of the accomplishments of the Council during the fiscal year ending December lst. ACTIVITIES A large Il1l1Jlber of troops participated in the Inter-Troop Rally Tournament for the "Evening Appeal Cup.a Troop 15 of the :Bellevue :Baptist Cb.arch won the cup for.the 3rd time and now had permanent possession of it. Troop 25, sponsored by the Congregation of Children of Israel finished in second place in theh tournament while Troop 19 of the Union Ave. Baptist Church came in 3rd. The rallies are now going on for the 1935-36 season and will be completed by Amdversaty Week in February. Q.AMPING Scouts and Scouters have had fine camping experiences this year. The 5th J\Ilnual Camp Currier Jamboree was held at Camp Currier for a period of two and a half days with l,034 Scouts taking part. The boys engaged in many outdoor activities such as Tent Pitching, forestry, Signalling, Wall Scaling etc. The Bally Tournament gives them lots of practice in indoor events like First Aid, Knot Tying, Signalling, etc. but the Jamboree gives them an opportunity to get into the open and use these things in a practical way. Everybody had a wonde1iif'lll time at the Jamboree and I am glad to report there was not a single serious accident~.n•••h Taken as a whole the boys did the best job of campiDg and takeing care of themselves in the open they have ever done. In the Annual Camp Currier Contest for the Camp Currier Cup scouts put in thousands of hours at the Camp inmald.Jl€ c~ improvements, building nature trails and otherwise doing good turns for themselves and the camp. (2) Troop 61, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, won the cup. These Scouts did an outstanding piece of work and deserved to win but they were closely pressed by Troop 68 ·• of the .American Legion. Troop l of the First Methodist Oh.urch did good work to finish in third. place. This Contest runs the year round and is a constant incentive for boys to do more and better work in the open. There are now 32 cabins owned by troops on Camp Currier and two more uilder construction. These cabins would be used a great deal more and the Camp would benefit the Scouts of our Council to a m:ach peasax larger degree if adeq'\l&te swimming facilities were available at the camp. A concrete swi.mlling pool is the only solution to our swimm:i:ng problem and it is the most vitally needed piece of equipment on the Camp. (Ka.mp Kia Kima) At Kamp Kia Xi.ma., which is at Hardy, Ark. the Scouts enjoyed an especially fine year. .An average of 83 Scouts per week attended the Kamp, which is the largest we have ever bad, and the average stq in Kamp was a little over 3 weeks per boy. The health of the Camp was good and there was not a single serious accident. In fact, I believe a boy is safer at either camp than he is in Memphis. The one really needed piece of equipment at Kia Kim& is a tennis court. Ma:ey Scouts are accustomed to playing tennis in the sumner time in Memphis and they miss this sport when they are in camp. La.ck of funds prevented the building of this court during the past year but we hope it will be possible for finance its construction during the comi:ng season. Kamp had one pieve of bad luck during the year. The caretakers house caught fire and burned to the ground. The caretaker lost most of his mm household possessions. Under the supervision of the camp Committee another house was built at a cost of $387.421 the Council furnishizg the materials and the caretaker furnishing the labor. All things considered the camping Activities were very succesaf'lll duriDg the past year and I feel they should be and will be improved on during the coming year. (3) COURT OF HONOR As some of you will doubtless recall, there was a decided let down • in Court of Honor work in 1934 due to the change of system in handling Merit :Badges.• • A.t that time the boys were required to go before a :Board of Review before going to the Court of Honor. This proved unpopular with the boys and resulted in a number of them losing interest in Merit :Badge work. This Board of Review was eliminated during 1935. ui The City is now divided into four Districts for the Court of Honor, each District Court of Honor beiDg under the direction of a Vice-Chairman, who holds Court once each month. This system makes it easier for a Scout to attend the Court of Honor and the boys like it, as is shown by the fact that a marked increase in advancement and in the number of Merit :Badges awarded was made during the year% just passed.' More men are interested in the Court df Honor work and it is organized on a sound basis. CIVIS SERVI CE, Our Scouts have given thousands of hours of work this year, as usual, in helping mm with civic activities. They have co-operated with the Chamber of Com:nerce, the Sb.elby County .Anti-Tuberculosis Society, the Cotton Carnival, the Spirit of Christmas Parade, the Jr. Chamber of Comnerce, the Federal Housing A.dministration and other organizations. A. number of letters are on file from the Mayor, the Vice Mayor and other prominent citizens thanking the Council for the work the boys did in helping to make possible the splendid success of these enterprises. I would like to read one short letter describing the action of Scout :Bob Miller of Troop 4 during the Sprrit of Christmas parade. It is from Mrs. M. H. Webster of Oxford, Miss. and reads as follows: (Read Letter) \/ ------' ~(4) ~· INTER-RACIAL SCOUTING • • The Council is making steady progress in Scouting for negro boys • Under the direction of the Inter-Bacial Committee, Camp Daniels for negro Scouts was conducted at Douglas Park for one week during the summer. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their experiences and a.re real~ learning to take care of themselves in the open as well as getting a thorough Scout Training. :Each year they do a better job of camping and during 1936 it is hoped to lengthen their camping period to at least two w•wks. There are DOW 11 Troops aai "z--,,.sz 1 •ts of negro boys in the Council.I CUJmING j)e,c. 10) IC/ 3.S The younger boy program, Cubbing, is now getting really organized. Two Cub Packs have been organized this year, one sponsored by Idlewild Presbyterian Church and the other by the .AJnerican Legion. These youngsters really enjoy the program and during next year we s :tould have a large number of Cuba. SENIOR soomnIG Sea Scouting for older boys has not made as rapid advancement as it should but I believe it will during the coming year. We now have one sea Scout I ~ip, the same as last year, and on Sea Scout Patrol. Another ship is in process of organization at present. ~ Since the 1st of December the first Rover Crew has been organized in the Council. This is a new pd part of the Scout program and is confined to older boys, that is 15 years of age and above. It should be of tremendous help in holding our old.er boys in Scouting and I look forward to splendid growth during the coming year. TRAINING A n'\llilber · of training courses for Scout Leaders have provided help and useful information to our men during the year. Courses in Elements of Scoutmastership, Cubbing, and Sea scouting have been ma.de available. In addition, \ the first School for Patrol Leaders was a real success with Scouts enrolled. A. course in Principles of Scoutmastership is now being conducted at Southwestern which is affording 40 men an opportunity to real Jy study the deeper meanings of the Scout Program of character building and citizenship training. - - - -------------- - ~(5) . TROOP ORGANIWION • As of December 1st there were 1,943 Scouts on the rolls of the Council as compared to 1 1 877 last year, a gain of 66 Scouts.· There were 83 Troops or a gain of four over last year. There a.re 66 troops o# white Scouts and 17 of negro Scouts. This is a very small gain and I sincerely hope and believe we ska:Uli:z11:mcex shall have a much larger growth during the coming year. There are over 11,000I} boys of Scouts age in our Council, not to mention the younger boys of Ooh age, 9--12. If we are to reach the National objective of one of every four boys a Scout trained man of four years Scouting experience, we must recruit more boys and more men to lead them. We can do the job and I am firmly convinced we will. FINANCE one of the most important mDim.ia.mf needs of the Council is a larger budget. For years we have operated on a small budget, in fact, one which has made it extremely difficult for the Council to operate on efficiently. Many • things have not been done on account of lack of Finance. However, I am proud of th:: work done by the men who worked so faithfully in the Fina.nee Campaign for they raised a total of $12,433.95 in cash and pledges, or $577.47 more than was secured in 1934. The Council, as usual lived within its income and nza1a under the careful supervision of the Finance Committee we will contin'UB to do so• The books of the Council were audited by Peat, Marwick,* Mitchell & Co. We have enough funds available to carry on for another year ~n:lblF'ikexi11st on practicaly the same basis we have for the past several years, but we do not have enough money to afford the advantages of Scouting to the number of boys who should be in it. Hence, I earnestly recommend that every effort be ma.de to secure at leaat $16,000.00 during the eDltq Finance Campaign next October. JAMBOREE As you know, the Natidnal Jamboree to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the • founding of Scouting had to be called off on account of the epidemic of infantile para1ysi s in Virginia and Maryland. This was a severe disappointment to the 47 boys from Memphis and the 9 Scouts from surrounding Councils who were to go to ~ashington. The NatioDO.l Council has PD recent].;>" """""""ed that the Jamboree will be held in the wummer of 1937. This should be an outstanding event and we should e prepare ourselves to take advantage of it durin@ the year 1936. In conclusion, let me say that I have not, due to lack of time, bea able to give you all of the details of the Councils activities. They will be fo'lllld in the iRJ Condensed Repol"is of Committees which will be shortly given to you and which I hope you will read.9 • These reports represents a tremendous amount of work on the part of the Scouters of the Council and I want to take this opportunity to tbal'lkzn~zmaazU.zkazillQ each and every one of you for the work you have i'a• done. ix~ixatsxu11~~zli:nexzi:ax*ka I cannot adequately describe the unselfish devotion and the tireless efforts our Scouters have put forth this year in making it possible for our boys to enjoy the advantages of Scouting, but I do w&lt to tell you that I deeply appreciate every single thing you have done for the bettel\oo ment of our boys.' Scouting in Memphis is built on a sound basis and with the continued help of our Scouters we will go forward with tremendous strides in the New . Year.
