Council .Expresses Sympathy Over Executive's De~th We of the Chickasaw Council professional and office staff wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many persons that have called, sent cards, or in any way expressed their sorrow and sympathy at the d eath of our Scout Ex ec utiv e, Ralph K. Manus, ,Jr. Steps have already been taken in the procedure of securing and selecting , a new Scout Executive for our council. Ralph was loved by many and his loss will be felt by many in the council. Possibly his greatest legacy will be the thousands of young men that have grown in the Scouting program as a result of his efforts. Though sadden by his death we pledge our continued efforts to Halph K. Manus, .Jr. all units of the Chickasaw Council to make your Scouting program, as Ralph would have said, , "The Greatest Show In Town." United Way Support As Shelby United Neighbors / United Way of Memphis kicks-off its annual campaign, it's good to pause and r~flect on its support on Scouting. As a JJnited Way agency , the Chickasaw Council receives approximately 40 1!1c1 of its annual operating budget from S. U.N. And that's service to boys . Whether United Way monies are used for Cub Training Kits, purchasing of handbooks, or camp ·scholarships for needy Scouts, we're better equipped "to do our best for boys because of Shelby United Neighbors." And, after all, that's the only reason any of us are involved in Scouting. Under the United Way umbrella are scores of agencies working hard for community betterment. We encourage every Scouter to support the United Way by being a fair share giver. Your gift helps /Scouting and your community. �September. 1979 Smoke 8if{nals Carter.

A WORD FROM JIM As you all know, I have just had the pleasure of attending the National Executive Institute in Dallas, Texas. It was a very rewarding learning experience I cannot relate to you how beneficial my experience in Dallas was so that I may serve you in a more efficient manner in the future. As usual for myself to serve you , I need your continued input and assistance. I am glad to be home and back at work! Let's not forget that we are all members of a movement and that movement is for the BOYS! Eagle A ward Qualifica tions Purpose: Provide an application and procedure whereby Life Scouts with severe physical or mental handicaps may pursue the Eagle progress award. Background: Previous National Executive Board action eliminated age restrictions relating to membership and advancement for the severely physically handicapped, blind, deaf, emotionally disturbed, and mentally retarded. Committee Action: Action was taken by the national Boy Scout committee on February 7, 1979, to establish " Guidelines for Advancement to Eagle Progress Award for Physically and Mentally Handi capped Scouts," as proposed by the Boy Scout Advancement subcommittee, utilizing input from the National Advisory Committee on Scouting for the Handicapped, and approved by the national Executive Board on February 8, 1979, as recommended by the Program Group committee. Guidelines: 1. The Eagle progress award may be achieved by a Scout with a physical or mental disability by qualifying for alternate merit badges. This does not apply to individual requirements for merit badges. These merit badges are awarded only when all requirements are met as stated. 2. The Scout must complete as many of the required merit badges as his ability permits oefore applying for an alternate merit badge. 3. The Scout must qualify for as many of the requirements of the required merit badges as his ability permits . 4. The alternate merit badges chosen must be of such a nature that they are as demanding of effort as the required merit badges . .. SEPTEMBER CALENDAR •=:::-::::<· . EXECUTIVE ::i COMMISSIONER B.C.

Congratulations is due to Troop 145 who won the Honor Unit two days in a row and the Makya Award, plus two young men entered the rifle competition, at Kia Kima Scout Reservation. Mr. Lou Woods is Scoutmaster, and attended camp Kia Kima with the troop. Eagle Award .Qualifications Continued from page 3 9. The application must be approved by the council committee responsible for advancement, utilizing the expertise of professional persons involved in Scouting for the handicapped. Council Action We still believe that all Scouts qualifying for the progress awards must be able to perform the requirements and have the skills . This enables a Scout tu carry out a part of our Oath or Promise "to help other people at all times." However, this new process will provide Scouts having severe handicaps with alternate requirements to earn the Eagle Award. Scout through First Class progress awards presently accommodate Scouts with handicaps. When a requirement is impossible to achieve within the early progress awards because of handicaps, existing guidelines for the handicapped provide for reasonable accommodation and common sense.

Manus, ,Jr. Steps have already been taken in the procedure of securing and selecting , a new Scout Executive for our council. Ralph was loved by many and his loss will be felt by many in the council. Possibly his greatest legacy will be the thousands of young men that have grown in the Scouting program as a result of his efforts. Though sadden by his death we pledge our continued efforts to Halph K. Manus, .Jr. all units of the Chickasaw Council to make your Scouting program, as Ralph would have said, , "The Greatest Show In Town." United Way Support As Shelby United Neighbors / United Way of Memphis kicks-off its annual campaign, it's good to pause and r~flect on its support on Scouting. As a JJnited Way agency , the Chickasaw Council receives approximately 401 !1c1 of its annual operating budget from S. U.N. And that's service to boys . Whether United Way monies are used for Cub Training Kits, purchasing of handbooks, or camp ·scholarships for needy Scouts, we're better equipped "to do our best for boys because of Shelby United Neighbors." And, after all, that's the only reason any of us are involved in Scouting. Under the United Way umbrella are scores of agencies working hard for community betterment. We encourage every Scouter to support the United Way by being a fair share giver. Your gift helps /Scouting and your community. Smoke 8if{nals Carter.

A WORD FROM JIM As you all know, I have just had the pleasure of attending the National Executive Institute in Dallas, Texas. It was a very rewarding learning experience I cannot relate to you how beneficial my experience in Dallas was so that I may serve you in a more efficient manner in the future. As usual for myself to serve you , I need your continued input and assistance. I am glad to be home and back at work! Let's not forget that we are all members of a movement and that movement is for the BOYS! Eagle A ward Qualifications Purpose: Provide an application and procedure whereby Life Scouts with severe physical or mental handicaps may pursue the Eagle progress award. Background: Previous National Executive Board action eliminated age restrictions relating to membership and advancement for the severely physically handicapped, blind, deaf, emotionally disturbed, and mentally retarded. Committee Action: Action was taken by the national Boy Scout committee on February 7, 1979, to establish " Guidelines for Advancement to Eagle Progress Award for Physically and Mentally Handicapped Scouts, " as proposed by the Boy Scout Advancement subcommittee, utilizing input from the National Advisory Committee on Scouting for the Handicapped, and approved by the national Executive Board on February 8, 1979, as recommended by the Program Group committee. Guidelines: 1. The Eagle progress award may be achieved by a Scout with a physical or mental disability by qualifying for alternate merit badges. This does not apply to individual requirements for merit badges. These merit badges are awarded only when all requirements are met as stated. 2 . The Scout must complete as many of the required merit badges as his ability permits oefore applying for an alternate merit badge. 3. The Scout must qualify for as many of the requirements of the required merit badges as his ability permits. 4. The alternate merit badges chosen must be of such a nature that they are as demanding of effort as the required merit badges . ..

There is a special prize for the troop that comes in first place in activity, so come down and let's have some fun. Congratulations is due to Troop 145 who won the Honor Unit two days in a row and the Makya Award, plus two young men entered the rifle competition, at Kia Kima Scout Reservation. Mr. Lou Woods is Scoutmaster, and attended camp Kia Kima with the troop. Eagle Award .Qualifications Continued from page 3 9. The application must be approved by the council committee responsible for advancement, utilizing the expertise of professional persons involved in Scouting for the handicapped. Council Action We still believe that all Scouts qualifying for the progress awards must be able to perform the requirements and have the skills. This enables a Scout tu carry out a part of our Oath or Promise "to help other people at all times." However, this new process will provide Scouts having severe handicaps with alternate requirements to earn the Eagle Award. Scout through First Class progress awards presently accommodate Scouts with handicaps. When a requirement is impossible to achieve within the early progress awards because of handicaps, existing guidelines for the handicapped provide for reasonable accommodation and common sense.
