I have s een many camps i n variou s parts of the Uni ted states , but i n my opinio n, Kia Kima has a more i deal camp site and more natural ad.van tages than any caop I have visite d. The clinc.t e is idenl, the swimming f acilit ies excell ent, and there is every i nducen ent for a boy to enjoy every s i ngle hour he spends in co.mp.

May 30, 1928. Dear Scout Official:All signs point to the biggest year Kia Kima has ever had and on June 16th Camp will open for a wonderful summer of activity for our Memphis boys. Many parents do not appreciate t:P.e fact that their boy is far safer in carilp than he is on tho streets of Memphis. Not only is the boy safe but he derives the benefit of on outdoor program directed by Veteran Scout men l'.nd I believe a summer spent in camp will do more for a boy, both physically ond mentally, than any other vacation. Sir Robert ]~;.den Powell hns said "The essence and spirit of Scouting centers around the camp fire 11 ond if a boy takes full advantage of the Progrrun he will necessarily put "Outing in Scouting". In order tho.t all boys :rooy have the opportunity of going to camp, I sincerely hope that you will get in touch with the parents of tho boys in your troop at your earliest convenience and impress on them the value of their boy going to camp nnd the benefits he will derive fror.i it.. It is only about two weeks until c~ opens ond we haven't much tiine in which to see these parents, therefore, I will appreciate it very much if you will call on as many of them as possible or phone them regarding Kamp Kia Eima and urge that every Scout be allowed to go to crunp for at least two weeks.
