On bohe,lf of tho Scouts of Chickasaw Council, I would like to take this opportunity of' th=king you for your unwavering devotion to the call of Scouting and the wholohet'l.rty co-operation that you have given to your officers during the past year. Tho year 1949 has also seen the further development of the true meaning of District Operation, with the Districts holcUng r~orc and better activities throughout the year, It is our earnest belief tluct the further growth and success of Chickasaw Council depends on tho manner with which wo continue to promote 1J,nd foster tho dovolopuont of our districts, Tho year 1950 ma,y well be tho culmination of our efforts e.long this line, /!FT/me r 11 ·1 I r·.· 11 ,\ ,.., r'\ \;\f '--' , ""' h. r \ 2; \ ·.\ ~ .I I ~ J\;\?

ACTIVITIES COMhITTEE ln 1949 the Activities Committee attempted to secure greater pe.rticipation and better public relations through its activities program. Events in which the whole Scout family took part were: The lloy Scout Exposition on Feb. 4th and 5th; The liid-South Fair on September 22nd through October lat; The Fire Prevention Parade on October 8th. The two big events for Cub Scouts were the Kite Derby on April 2nd and 9th, and the Pie-Nie Pow-Wow on August 27th, The events for lloy Scout·Troops only included the Cotton Carnival Parade, the Camp. Currier .Cap-0-Ree, The lloy Scout Swim heet at C10mp Currier, The Boy Scout Fish Rodeo at the Opt:lmist Club 1 s Bcys 1 Crnnp, u.shering at Goodwyn Institute and the Victory Jay Parade. Our Senior Scout activities included the Senior Scout Expogata, Order of the Arrow activities, a Possura Hunt, Senior Scout Bflll. In addition there were distriot and division activities such as the Seminole Division Scout Circus, the Crittenden District Camp-0-Ree, the Southeast District Cub Rally, the Southeast District Program at the Germantown Carnive.l on July 4th, the Horthwest District Picnic. We are s~.tisfied that more boys participated in the above programs and that the public is more Scout conscious. We appreciate the splendid co-operation received from everyone in carrying out a very fine group of 1'.Ctivities. This year the Advancement Committee was organized on a basis of sub-committees for each phase of the advancement program. Those sub-committees, with their accomplishments for the year are as follows: I - UNIT LEVEL - PLANNING PROCESS AND PROMOTION OF ADVANCEMENT: For the first time in the Council a Green Bar Train-0-Ree was hold in November, at which the Realigned Requirements for Second and First Class rank were domonstr?,tod to ?.pproxirnately 150 Scouts and Scout Leaders.

IV - COURT OF HONOR LEVEL - RECOGNITION PROCESS: In May a Councilwide Court of H@nor was held at Goodwyn Institute Auditorium for the purpose of setting a pattern for District Courts of Honor. This Court was well attended and, as a result, all four Districts in Sholby County have held splendid Courts of Honor separate and apA.rt from Boards of Rovic"'· On December 9th the Advancement Committee initiated a special Eagle Scout Court of Honor which was also held at Goodwyn Institute Auditorium before a largo audience. This marks a change from tho prior custom of presenting Eagle badges at tho Annual Meeting, the change being made for tho purpose of honoring tho Zagle Scou1J:s in the p.r•J·1once of their fellow Scouts who had not previously been able to attend. ·ohe Annual biecting due to lack of facilities, At this Court special :.~ocognition was given to all past 3e.glc Scouts, a number of whom attended.
