Watch Next Month's Smoke Signal! Where Does All The Money Go? Several of us - a ll active in Scouting· were having lunch the other day, a nd we began talking about what we had don e as Scouts a nd about the experiences our sons were having. "I remember the first ti me I went to Scout camp," one man said, "My folks made me earn half of the camp fee, and wh en our Scout troop got to camp, it was the greatest thing I'd ever done. In fact that's where I learned to swim. "But r never realized th at the camp staff was paid by the cou ncil." he continued, "and it was several years later when I was on the staff that I understood how much work had to be done to get camp ready for surhmer." A second man said, "I never went to Scout camp, but the day a Natiorial Environmen tal Youth Award The National Co un cil , B.S.A. has developed a program to give recognition to any Scout or Explorer that has excelled in the area of energy conservation.

Applications for the Award are available from the C hickasaw Council Service Center. man in Scout uniform came to our school to see how many boys wanted to be Scouts, I couldn't wait for a troop to be organized. Then, when we had our first meeting, we had the greatest Scoutmaster who said if we were going to be Scouts, we'd be doing a lot of hiking and camping. In fact, every summer we'd go hiking for a week, and, of course, we took part in camporees a nd the council's Scouting show. I learned so much in those daysthings I've been able to use ever since." " Well, I was a father with an 8-year-old son when I started in Scouting," a third man explained. First, I was on the pack committee, but in a few months I was asked to be Cubmaster, I didn' t know much about Cub Scouting, a nd if it hadn 't been for the training sessions and the Cub Scout Leader roundtables that the council offered, I probably would never had ma de it. Every once in a while, there'd be some question, but I'd call our pack commissioner or the council service center a nd get the answer." He continued , "My son? We could see the changes that Scouting made in his life. I think he's a better man and father because of his Scouting experience. And now I have a grandson who is a Boy Scout." Table talk? Of co urse, Scouters like to talk about Scouting when they're together. And it's this devotion to Scouting t hat makes it possible to have Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Explorers. Behind the scenes for all three of these men was a local Scouting council that provided services to the organizations that . use the Scouting program, to the volunteers who administer our packs, troops, and posts, and for , boys and young men and women who benefit from the activities of Scouting. To provide those services, the Chickasaw Co.uncil conducts a sustaining members hip enrollment each year beca use United Way provides only 40 percent of the council operating budget. Scouting is possible for young people in our area because our volunteer adults, parents, and friends of Scouting become sustaining members. · SEPTEMBER 1 to DECEMBER 15, 1979 ROUND UP RECOG NITION PLAN FOR THE UNIT (Pack-T roop- Post) A 19"79 Fall Round-Up Streamer~ For Display On Your Unit Flag or In Your Meeting Room. 1 OPEN THE DOOR FOR 1000 MORE 1979 FALL ROUND- UP CHICKASAW COUNCIL A FULL SET OF 4 MUGS TO BE EARNED BY THE UNIT LEADER IN ORDER FOR THE UNIT TO QUALIFY FOR THE ROUND - UP STREAMER.

Boy Scout troops and Explorer posts will be described at a series of meetings during the next month. Bob Cannon, president of the Chickasaw Council, will attend the meetings along with Joe Long, the new Chickasaw Council Scout executive. They also will look for suggestions to improve the service given by the Council. "The job of the Chickasaw Council is to support our unit leaders, and we want to discuss the services we offer," Cannon, who is President of Buckeye Celulose Corp., said. Long explained that the council executive board administers the Scouting program in Memphis area, and the council's 8 districts are responsible for carrying out the program. "But the action is in the unit and in the organization that is chartered to use the program," he said. The Chickasaw Council, which is financed by United Ways and the council sustaining membership enrollment, offers program, field, office, and national services. Program features for unit leaders during the coming year will include monthly program meetings called roundtables, camporees , summer camp, training, direct service to units, Explorer Road rally & Olympics. The local council is a member agency of S.lJ.N. The sustaining membership enrollment is conducted among members, parents, and friends of Scouting. "When we set up our am.ual program and calendar and build our operating budget," Long said, "we consider all of our over four hundred packs, troops, and posts. We are always searching for new ways that we can improve our assistance and support to these units." "Meet ,Joe Long Night" will be held in all districts. A Salute To United Way Leader s As a member agency of Shelby United Neighbors, we are proud of the men and women in the Chicksaw Council who ·devote time to the S.U.N. campaign. The Chickasaw Council is a member agency of Shelby United Neighbors. Scouting was one of the early supporters of Shelby United Neighbors and has always been in the forefront in providing people for key positions. All BSA leaders are encouraged to assist with the S.U.N. campaign since the council receives approximately 40 percent of its 9peration budget through this cooperative effort. The balance of the council budget comes from the sustaining membership enrollment among members, parents, and friends of Scouting, which is conducted in the spring of each year. . . . bc.t only i+ yok hetp... lf@[[ CIDO @if ill]@ ••• in ...~r yotAr ."'~ j The.United ~y... k\cls ...

Watch Next Month's Smoke Signal! Where Does All The Money Go? Several of us - a ll active in Scouting· were having lunch the other day, and we began talking about what we had done as Scouts and about the experiences our sons were having. "I remember the first time I went to Scout camp," one man said, "My folks made me earn half of the camp fee, and wh en our Scout troop got to camp, it was the greatest thing I'd ever done. In fact that's where I learned to swim. "But r never realized that the camp staff was paid by the council." he continued, "and it was several years later when I was on the staff that I understood how much work had to be done to get camp ready for surhmer." A second man said, "I never went to Scout camp, but the day a Natiorial Environmental Youth Award The National Coun cil, B.S.A. has developed a program to give recognition to any Scout or Explorer that has excelled in the area of energy conservation.

Applications for the Award are available from the Chickasaw Council Service Center. man in Scout uniform came to our school to see how many boys wanted to be Scouts, I couldn't wait for a troop to be organized. Then, when we had our first meeting, we had the greatest Scoutmaster who said if we were going to be Scouts, we'd be doing a lot of hiking and camping. In fact, every summer we'd go hiking for a week, and, of course, we took part in camporees and the council's Scouting show. I learned so much in those daysthings I've been able to use ever since." " Well, I was a father with an 8-year-old son when I started in Scouting," a third man explained. First, I was on the pack committee, but in a few months I was asked to be Cubmaster, I didn't know much about Cub Scouting, and if it hadn't been for the training sessions and the Cub Scout Leader roundtables that the council offered, I probably would never had made it. Every once in a while, there'd be some question, but I'd call our pack commissioner or the council service center and get the answer." He continued , "My son? We could see the changes that Scouting made in his life. I think he's a better man and father because of his Scouting experience. And now I have a grandson who is a Boy Scout." Table talk? Of course, Scouters like to talk about Scouting when they're together. And it's this devotion to Scouting that makes it possible to have Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Explorers. Behind the scenes for all three of these men was a local Scouting council that provided services to the organizations that . use the Scouting program, to the volunteers who administer our packs, troops, and posts, and for , boys and young men and women who benefit from the activities of Scouting. To provide those services, the Chickasaw Co.uncil conducts a sustaining membership enrollment each year beca use United Way provides only 40 percent of the council operating budget. Scouting is possible for young people in our area because our volunteer adults, parents, and friends of Scouting become sustaining members. · SEPTEMBER 1 to DECEMBER 15, 1979 • I ROUND UP RECOGNITION PLAN FOR THE UNIT (Pack-Troop- Post) A 19"79 Fall Round-Up Streamer~ For Display On Your 1Unit Flag or In Your Meeting Room.

Boy Scout troops and Explorer posts will be described at a series of meetings during the next month. Bob Cannon, president of the Chickasaw Council, will attend the meetings along with Joe Long, the new Chickasaw Council Scout executive. They also will look for suggestions to improve the service given by the Council. "The job of the Chickasaw Council is to support our unit leaders, and we want to discuss the services we offer," Cannon, who is President of Buckeye Celulose Corp., said. Long explained that the council executive board administers the Scouting program in Memphis area, and the council's 8 districts are responsible for carrying out the program. "But the action is in the unit and in the organization that is chartered to use the program," he said. The Chickasaw Council, which is financed by United Ways and the council sustaining membership enrollment, offers program, field, office, and national services. Program features for unit leaders during the coming year will include monthly program meetings called roundtables, lf@[[ CIDO @if ill]@ ••• in camporees, summer camp, training, direct service to units, Explorer Road rally & Olympics. The local council is a member agency of S.lJ.N. The sustaining membership enrollment is conducted among members, parents, and friends of Scouting. "When we set up our am.ual program and calendar and build our operating budget," Long said, "we consider all of our over four hundred packs, troops, and posts. We are always searching for new ways that we can improve our assistance and support to these units." "Meet ,Joe Long Night" will be held in all districts. A Salute To United Way Leaders As a member agency of Shelby United Neighbors, we are proud of the men and women in the Chicksaw Council who ·devote time to the S.U.N. campaign. The Chickasaw Council is a member agency of Shelby United Neighbors. Scouting was one of the early supporters of Shelby United Neighbors and has always been in the forefront in providing people for key positions. All BSA leaders are encouraged to assist with the S.U.N. campaign since the council receives approximately 40 percent of its 9peration budget through this cooperative effort. The balance of the council budget comes from the sustaining membership enrollment among members, parents, and friends of Scouting, which is conducted in the spring of each year . . . . bc.t only i+ yok hetp ... ."'~ j The.United ~y ... ... ~r yotAr k\cls ...
