It is an honor to win a K.K.K. Emblem and every Scout is proLtd to wear it. The greatest honor to be won at Kia Kima is to be elected a Council Scout and receive an lndiar1 name at a CoLtncil Fire he.Id somewhere ,in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by \Vhich this honor may be obtained- if a Scout does his best to I ive up to tl1e Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fello,vs to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts.

It is an honor to win a K.K.K. Emblem and every Scout is proLtd to wear it.

There are no rules by \Vhich this honor may be obtained- if a Scout does his best to I ive up to tl1e Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fello,vs to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts.
