Bill Morris Alvan Tate MORRIS AND TATE HONORED BY SOUTHEAST REGION A most unusual distinction was bestowed on the Chickasaw Council and two of its Council Scouters when William N. Morris, Jr. and Alvan F. Tate received the Silver Antelope Award at the first annual meeting of the newly formed Southeast Region, on November 3, at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Atlanta. The Antelope, highest award and Regional honor given to Scouters, was presented to Scouters Morris and Tate for their outstanding service to Scouting on a regional level. Both men served in many capacities in Region Five, one of the former 12 Scout regions. The 12 regions were recently realigned to 6 regions. Both of these outstanding Scouters have been elected to the Executive Committee of the new Southeast Region that encompasses 12 states. In addition, Morris is serving as Area Chairman of Manpower and Tate as Area Camping Chairman. It is most unusual for two Scouters from one council to receive the Silver Antelope Award the same year and all Chickasaw CQuncil Scouters are proud of - and salute - these two great Scouters!

According to Council Camping Chairman J. C. Ray, th~ two sites will probably be located across the lake. Troops camping in these sites will follow. the same program as Camp Cherokee. They will use the Jambore e style of cooking and they will also use the lake at Camp Cheroke e. According to Ray, the troops using the new sites might have to share shower and latrine facilities for next summer , due tc the time factor in having these sites set up and ready for summer camp operatio n. However, this should not present a major problem , and details can be worked out concerning this arrangem ent with the troop leadership. Troops wishing to reserve these new sites or sites not yet reserved at Kamp Kia Kima may do so by selecting a site and making a ten dollar reservation deposit at the Scout Service · Center, 171 So. Hollywood. EXPLORING-ON THE MOVE! Exploring in the Chickasaw Council is, most certainly, on the move. The program is as exciting and dynamic as the young adults being served. Exploring is a program which is in tune with· the times. It meets the needs, desires and concerns of today's youth by involving them in professional and technological fields. Exploring has taken on many new facets. Emphasis is O!l career explorat ion. Posts have become co-ed and Explorers ar~ given greater opportun ities to learn to lead, along with iricreased responsibilities. Through the efforts of the Memphis Rotary Club, many new posts have been formed in Memphis.

Traditionally the holiday season is a time when most of us pause to think of, and be with, our relatives and friends. At this time "love thy neighbor" seems to have a more real meaning than at any other time of the year. How wonderful it would be if a bit of this holiday spirit would stay with everyone throughout the coming year . . . to expand and grow to include not only our relatives and friends, but everyone with whom we come in contact. Our council officers, professional and office staffs extend thanks to you for your dedicated efforts on behalf of the boys in our council area. May God bless you, and stay with you and your family. S,;u_/'/f~ "7<£4/~ COUNCIL PRES IDENT SCOUT EXECUTIVE g~~ COUNCI L COMMISSIONER Bill Morris Alvan Tate MORRIS AND TATE HONORED BY SOUTHEAST REGION A most unusual distinction was bestowed on the Chickasaw Council and two of its Council Scouters when William N. Morris, Jr. and Alvan F. Tate received the Silver Antelope Award at the first annual meeting of the newly formed Southeast Region, on November 3, at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Atlanta. The Antelope, highest award and Regional honor given to Scouters, was presented to Scouters Morris and Tate for their outstanding service to Scouting on a regional level. Both men served in many capacities in Region Five, one of the former 12 Scout regions. The 12 regions were recently realigned to 6 regions. Both of these outstanding Scouters have been elected to the Executive Committee of the new Southeast Region that encompasses 12 states. In addition, Morris is serving as Area Chairman of Manpower and Tate as Area Camping Chairman. It is most unusual for two Scouters from one council to receive the Silver Antelope Award the same year and all Chickasaw CQuncil Scouters are proud of - and salute - these two great Scouters!

According to Council Camping Chairman J. C. Ray, th~ two sites will probably be located across the lake. Troops camping in these sites will follow. the same program as Camp Cherokee. They will use the Jamboree style of cooking and they will also use the lake at Camp Cherokee. According to Ray, the troops using the new sites might have to share shower and latrine facilities for next summer, due tc the time factor in having these sites set up and ready for summer camp operation. However, this should not present a major problem, and details can be worked out concerning this arrangement with the troop leadership. Troops wishing to reserve these new sites or sites not yet reserved at Kamp Kia Kima may do so by selecting a site and making a ten dollar reservation deposit at the Scout Service · Center, 171 So.

Our district is stnvmg for a 1,000 boy membetship by December 31, 1972. This is the first time that the Crittenden District has ever been within reach of having 1,000 boys registered. However, to make this become a reality it is going to take the c.ombined efforts of 1 all of our Scout units. To reach this goal we will need a total of 6 additional boys from each Cub Pack, Scout Troop, and Explorer Post before Christmas. So give a boy a break; get him into Scouting' DISTRICT LEADERSIDP CHANGES The Crittenden District would like to express its sincerest thanks to R. E. "Skip" Wallin, 1972 District Chairman, and to John Ed Farris, 1972 District Commissioner. They have put in many hours of effort to insure a wholesome program for the Scouts and future Scouts of our district and we are extremely grateful to them. Our District leaders for 1973 will be Lindsey Fairley, District Chairman, and Milton Foley, District Commissioner. Lindsey is the West Memphis Municipal Judge and Milton is the Director of East Arkansas Savings and Loan. There are no better men anywhere to fill the shoes of district chairman and district commissioner and we are very fortunate to have their leadership to make the Crittenden District the very best that Scouting has to offer.
