This guide outlines the program planned for 1992 at Kia Kima. We are continuing to improve the program and facilities each year. The newest feature is Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima. Venture Base offers a series of program opportuniti es - canoeing, backpacking , climbing and rappelling- which use Kia Kima as a base and venture in to the surroundin g area . We hope you will encourage your Venture-age Scouts to participate in these activities. The merit badge offerings cover a wide range and include some new "rotational" merit badges. There will be several capital improvemen ts at Kia Kima this year. The biggest project is our new central hot shower facility for Camp Osage and the nearby handicappe daccessible campsite. Waterlines have been brought to the center of the reservation for Shooting Sports, the Tower and the Campfire Arena. Flagpoles and Assembly areas have been relocated in each camp. This guide is designed to help you and your patrol leaders' council plan your week at Kia Kima. It includes information on camp promotion and planning, program opportunitie s and scheduling. We will keep you up-to-date as opening date nears. Yours in Scouting, ~~ Ron Edmonds, Chairman Kia Kima Advisory Board Jim Russnogle, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council • Boy Scouts of America 171 S. Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 �II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities Troop Time This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. Personal Interest This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 �II I II •I • • • •I •I I I I ' I' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Troop _ _ Name Camp _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.)

Scoutmasters' Roundtables are held on Sunday and Tuesday evenings. These are meetings with key staff leaders to review program activities and communicate other important information. Each morning after breakfast, a Leaders' coffee time is held. One or more key staff members will be available each day. The purpose of this daily session is to encourage communication among leaders in camp and with the camp staff. Any problems you may be experiencing can be addressed at this time. Of course, the reservation director, program directors and commissioners are available to work with you at any time. Each week, the Scout Executive visits Kia Kima and hosts a dinner for all Scoutmasters in camp.

Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • • • • • • Conducting daily campsite inspections Visiting program areas daily Promoting camp activities Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication. Interested leaders should fill out an application and turn it in to the Scout Service Center before attending camp. An application form is included in this Guide . Camp commissioners will be selected from the applications received and each selected leader will be notified. Camp fees will be waived for those leaders selected as camp commissioners. Program Areas Leaders are welcome in program areas at all times. Leaders are encouraged to share their skills and assist in areas where they are qualified. We do ask that you make arrangementsin advance with the director of the area, before you become involved in class sessions. Leaders who are interested in assisting with instruction in specific topics should complete an application to serve as a camp commissioner and indicate their interest. Twilight Activities Kia Kima offers a variety of evening "twilight" activities. Troops are encouraged to participate in those activities in which they are interested as a group. Kia Kima Campfires Campfires are a highlight of the Kia Kima week. Reservation campfires are held on Sunday and Friday nights. The Sunday night campfire is an introduction to Kia Kima traditions and the camp staff. The Friday night campfire is a recognition and fellowship event. Troop participation is encouraged in the closing campfire. The program director 16 �Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guld e will provi de more inform ation at camp . ngs durin g the week.

The Order of the Arrow representative will explain the procedure for arranging for the call out at the Leaders Roundtable. Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima This year, we are introducing a new program aimed at Venture-age Scouts (aged 13 and above) called Ozark Venture Base. This program includes two programs that use Kia Kima as base for a week-long trip by canoe or backpacking and two programs, Climbers Camp and the popular Project COPE which take place primarily on the Kia Kima property. Complete details can be found in the Program Planning section of this Guide. In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 �Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingl y indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 �Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program. There are many opportunities for every Scout to learn to swim or to improve his swimming ability and classification. Aquatic merit badges are among the most popular and useful of all Scout programs.

In applying for a campersh ip, a Scout and his family are reminded of the ninth point of the Scout law, A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. Scouts are encourag ed to plan ahead and work to pay their way to camp. Campersh ips are considere d on a first-come , first-serv ed basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following condition s: 1. The unit leader secures and complete s the campersh ip applicati on. The applicatio n is forwarde d to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committe e to review. 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campersh ip . The maximum campersh ip for 1992 is $45.00. 3. Campersh ips will not be granted for provision al camping. They are intended to enable the Scout to attend camp with his own troop. 4. Campers hips are granted to individua l Scouts. If the Scout who receives the campersh ip is unable to attend, substituti ons will not be allowed unless a new campers hip applicati on is filed in the name of the substitut e Scout and approved by the Council Camping Committe e. 5. Campers hip applicatio ns must be complete ly filled out. Informati on on the campersh ip applicatio n will be held in confidenc e. 6. Candidat es for campersh ips must be registered Scouts in good standing with their troop. 7. All applicatio ns must be signed by a parent or guardian, troop leader and the district camping chairman or represent ative. It is not the intention to limit the number of Scouts eligible for campersh ips. On the contrary, we want to stretch the available campersh ip funds to cover as many needy Scouts as possible. Campersh ip applicatio ns must be submitted by May 1, 1992 to be considere d by the Council Camping Committe e. Unit leaders will be notified by May 16, 1992 of the action taken by the Council Camping Committe e in approvin g or disapprov ing the campersh ip applicatio n. �1 9 9 2 KIA KIMA SCOUT RESERVATION Chickasaw Council BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA I I Application for Employment be,,..,._,, ..................., Th11 •pphc•lMln ..11 I.Ml U.e •pphcanl will Ml - ""pl' Ille_,...,.. ill ,..;p1 Attach photograph here Personal Information Name --~------------------------ ~ Address - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I St.al.e City Zip Phone - - - - - - - - - - - - Social Security # - - - - - - - - - - Birth Date - - - - - - I I School - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Grade _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GPA _ _ _ __ -I Scouting Experience I I I I I I I I I School and Community Activitie• List achievements and leadership positions Unit District - - - - - Rank - - - - - - - - Y e a r s in Scouting _ _ __ Position Other leadership positions held - - - - - - - - - Camping Experience Years as Camper Years on Staff - - - Last Camp Staff Position ------------ If you a member of the Order of the Arrow, please circle membership status: Ordeal Brotherhood Vigil List lodge offices you have held - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Scoutmaster's Recommendation Thi" 11ect10n is required for applicant.a qe 18 and under.

Signed--------------Parent or Guardian Approved------------Unit leader Date----------- �Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking trips of shorter duration during the months before camp . The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima. All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by May 22, 1992 of your status in the program. The fee for Ozark Venture Base programs is $100 per Scout per week . A nonrefundable deposit of $30 must accompany the application by May 15. This deposit can be transferred to another Scout. The extra fee for Ozark Venture Base is necessary due to staffing and special food and equipment considerations. Ozark Venture Base applications must be signed by the Scout's parent or guardian and unit leader in the spaces provided. �I I I ~ I I I I I I I I I Kia Kima Scout Reservation Application to Serve as a Camp Commissioner (See infomuz.tion about camp commissioners in the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide) Name ---------- -------Address District - - - - - - - ---------------- ------- Telephone Zip _ _ _ __ City --------Troop _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _--------~ ________ Position - - - - - - - Previous positions held in S c o u t i n g - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ Scout training courses a t t e n d e d - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Merit badges or other Scout skills I am willing to teach at Kia Kima _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Years in Scouting _ __ Were you a Scout? _ __ Years attending Kia Kima - - - - - - - - - - - Highest rank earned - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week attending camp _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Camp Osage 0 Camp Cherokee 0 District Recommendation KKSR Action: 0 Accepted: Yes No 0 Area to serve: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _~ Accepted by: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Date: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ �I I I I I BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICE Use this form for Scouts and Adults under 40 attending Camp Cherokee and Camp Cherokee.

This guide outlines the program planned for 1992 at Kia Kima. We are continuing to improve the program and facilities each year. The newest feature is Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima. Venture Base offers a series of program opportunities - canoeing, backpacking, climbing and rappelling- which use Kia Kima as a base and venture in to the surrounding area . We hope you will encourage your Venture-age Scouts to participate in these activities. The merit badge offerings cover a wide range and include some new "rotational" merit badges. There will be several capital improvements at Kia Kima this year. The biggest project is our new central hot shower facility for Camp Osage and the nearby handicappedaccessible campsite. Waterlines have been brought to the center of the reservation for Shooting Sports, the Tower and the Campfire Arena. Flagpoles and Assembly areas have been relocated in each camp. This guide is designed to help you and your patrol leaders' council plan your week at Kia Kima. It includes information on camp promotion and planning, program opportunities and scheduling. We will keep you up-to-date as opening date nears. Yours in Scouting, ~~ Ron Edmonds, Chairman Kia Kima Advisory Board Jim Russnogle, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council • Boy Scouts of America 171 S. Hollywood Memphis, Tennessee 38112 901-327-4193 4 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Part One - General Information Kia Kima is the summer camp program of the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is conducted at Kia Kima Scout Reservation near Hardy, Arkansas. Kia Kima is an Indian term - it means Eagle's Nest . Kia Kima was made possible by two major donors - Bolton Smith, who donated the original Kia Kima tract in 1916, and John W. Cooper, who donated and developed the much larger present site in 1964 in exchange for the original land. Many other people and organizations have contributed significant resources to the development of this property for the benefit of the Scouts of the Chickasaw Council. Boy Scout troops come to Kia Kima as a unit with their own leadership. Limited opportunities are available for provisional campers, who come to camp without their units. More information on provisional camping is included in the Kia Kima 92 brochure for Scouts or by contacting the Scout Service Center. Kia Kima is subject to accreditation standards of the Boy Scouts of America for longterm camps. It is reviewed and inspected annually by representatives of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for compliance with those high standards. Kia Kima has earned the designation of a "Nationally Accredited Camp." Kia Kima is under the supervision of the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council and the Council Camping Committee. The committee charged with providing program planning guidance is called the Kia Kima Advisory Board and is composed of active Scout leaders from throughout the council. A professional Scouter is designated as Reservation Director and is on site throughout the camping season. What is the purpose of summer camp at Kia Kima ? Kia Kima provides your troop resources it needs for a quality camping experience. It provides the site - a picturesque hill-country location with woods, a lake, a river, fresh air and room to roam, the basic facilities - waterfront, tents, archery range, rifle range, nature lodge, etc.-the equipment - boats, canoes, bows and arrows, rifles, fishing gear, and trained staff in aquatics, nature, Scoutcraft, field sports, etc. What will your troop provide? Scout campers, adult leaders, transportation, sleeping and personal equipment. The troop will also be expected to develop its own camp program, which will be its plan for taking optimum advantage of camp 5 II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide facilities, services, and staff. Each troop knows best what advancement requirements its Scouts need to work on, when a hike or canoe trip would fit in best, when to schedule a cookout or an intertroop campfire, and call for camp support as needed. Scout camping at Kia Kima then is a cooperative venture between the camp and the troop - they work together to create a quality camping experience for the Scouts in your unit. A quality summer camp experience includes three categories of time for all Scouts to participate in activities: Personal I Advancement Troop Time Personal Interest Rank advancement, merit badge work, Venture activities This too may include advancement-related activities like a troop swim, troop time at a shooting range, campwide games or activities a troop does by itself. This could be working on merit badges, fishing, just enjoying the out-of-doors or visiting an area of the camp he has a special interest in. The troop and the camp staff work together to make sure your troop has an enjoyable and rewarding summer camp experience. Advancement at Kia Kima Summer camp at Kia Kima is the "laboratory of Scouting." There are many advancement opportunities both in the structured camp program, in the troop site and as a part of troop activities. Each Scout at Kia Kima receives a guidebook. Guidebooks are issued to the unit leader at check-in. The guidebook contains the requirements for each merit badge offered at Kia Kima and each of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Ranks which are available at Kia Kima. Kia Kima staff members will record the Scout's progress in the guidebooks during the week. The troop, as always, is responsible for judging the Scouts progress toward merit badges and ranks based on the progress made by the Scout during camp and before and afterward. Kia Kima provides program resources to assist in achieving advancement goals. A record of each Scouts progress will also be maintained in the camp administration building. A leader with any questions may check the records at camp on Saturday morning or at the Council Service Center in Memphis after the camping season. 6 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide A list of all merit badges and rank requirements supported at Kia Kima in 1992 is included in the program planning section of this guidebook. BSA Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by only one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age, are required for all trips and outings. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. Many troop committees have been successful in arranging for two leaders to go to camp. Both of the leaders have more fun, problems of coverage are solved and the opera ti on is more efficient. Leaders may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany a troop to camp are serving for the duration of camp as substitute or additional unit leaders or assistants. They must meet all qualifications for the position in which they serve. Camp Fees $90 per Scout or Scouter per week for Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage. $100 per Scout or Scouter for Ozark Venture Base. The first adult leader with the troop is free. Fees for the second leader will be prorated as follows: 1 Scout 2 Scouts 3 Scouts 4 Scouts 5 Scouts 6 Scouts 7 Scouts 8 Scouts 9 Scouts $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 Free Fees for additional leaders will be prorated in a similar manner for troops with over 9 Scouts in camp. A $30 preregistration fee for each week a Scout is to stay in camp is due by May 15, 1992. Each Scout's $30 deposit is transferable but not refundable. The deposit can only be transferred to another Scout's deposit. 7 II I II • I • • • • I • I I I I ' I ' I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde If a Scout becomes ill while attending summer camp and is sent home by the camp medical officer, he will be entitled to a prorated refund of the balance of his camp fee . Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. Applications and additional information are available at the Scout Service Center. A copy is included in the appendices to this Guide. Campership applications are due May 1, 1992. Vehicles in Camp Each camp has ample parking available in designated parking lots. All vehicles must be returned to the parking lots after unloading gear. No vehicles are permitted in camp sites. The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 miles per hour. Adhering to this speed limit is essential for safety. The use of automobiles in camp is to be held to an absolute minimum, for both safety and environmental reasons . Leaving Camp Any leader or Scout who must leave camp during the week must check out at the Cooper Administration Building and check back in before returning . Mail Service The Kia Kima mailing address is as follows: Name Troop __ Camp _______ _ Kia Kima Scout Reservation Route 6, Box 334 llardy,.Arkansas,72542 (Mail will be delayed if the address does not include the troop number and camp the Scout or Scouter is attending.) Mail for campers should include the Scout's name, troop and camp (Osage or Cherokee) on the envelope. Outgoing mail may be placed in the mailbox at each trading post. Mail is collected at noon each day. Incoming mail arrives in the late afternoon and may be picked up by a leader or the Senior Patrol Leader at the trading post each evening. 8 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Telephone The camp telephone number is 501-257-4935 . Since this phone is only in service seasonally, the number is subject to change. The Scout Service Center in Memphis will always have the correct number. This phone rings in the camp business office and the camp director's cabin. If no one is available to take a call, a message may be left on the answering machine. The camp ranger's phone number is 501-257-3390. This phone is in the ranger's family residence and should not be used except for emergencies during the summer camp season. Campers are permitted to use the camp phone only with their leader's permission and with the leader present. Hours are limited since it is a business phone. Reconfirm Your Plans In order for the camp staff to make sure campsite is properly set-up, please complete the "Confirmation of Arrival Plans" included in this guide and call directly to Kia Kima at 501 -257-4935 before 4:00 pm on the Friday before your scheduled arrival at Kia Kima. You may give this information by phone or by fax (at the same number). As an alternative, you may deliver the form to the front desk of the Scout Service Center no later than noon that day and they will fax it on to Kia Kima. 9 • I I I I • I I • I • I I • • • I ' II Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide Troop Check-in and Check-out Check-in Troop check-in is scheduled from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm Sunday. Please plan your schedule accordingly. Troops arriving at camp between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm will have sufficient time to complete check-in and set up camp.

No dining hall service is available during this time. Accordingly, early arrivals cannot be accommodated. Check-out Normal check-out time is 10:00 am Saturday, following a campsite inspection by your unit counselor and completion of check-out procedures. Health and Sa/ ety Health Lodge and Emergency Medical Arrangements A health lodge is available with a qualified first-aider on duty 24 hours a day. A physician will also be in camp each week. In addition, we have arrangements with a local physician and the nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital-Eastern Ozarks for emergency services. Accident insurance is provided for all Scouts and adults attending camp. This insurance does not cover sickness, injuries occurring before camp or chronic conditions. The camp's insurance policy pays the first $150 of covered expenses. Coverage of expenses in excess of $150 is coordinated with the Scout's family insurance coverage. Medical Examinations Each Scout and leader is required to have a medical form on file upon arriving at camp. Scouts and leaders under age 40 attending Camp Cherokee or Camp Osage use the Class 2 Personal Health and Medical Record (No. 4414A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last three years. Scouts and leaders participating in the Ozark Venture Base programs and all leaders age 40 and over use the Personal Health and Medical Record Form- Class 3 (No. 4412A) and are required to have been examined by a physician within the last 12 months. One copy of each form is included in this guide. Copies are also available at the Scout Service Center. 10 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Sanitation Latrine facilities are provided at each troop campsite . It is the responsibility of each troop to maintain the cleanliness of these facilities during their stay at Kia Kima. Toilet paper and cleaning supplies are available at Troop Issue. If maintenance problems develop with the equipment in your campsite, please contact your program director or the camp ranger. There is a designated location for trash and garbage at each camp. At Camp Cherokee, troops are issued garbage bags with the provisions for each meal. The responsibilities of the clean-up crew include taking the garbage bag to the designated central location after the meal. This will minimize any problems with odors or insects in the campsite. At Camp Osage, garbage bags are available through Troop Issue. Troops should deliver their trash to the central location as needed. A trash delivery should be made whenever the bag is full or the bag contains any significant amount of food waste (watermelon rinds, etc.) . There will not be a garbage pick-up run in the troop campsite. Each troop is responsible for delivering its own garbage to the central location. Shower facilities are provided in each troop campsite. In addition, both Camp Cherokee and Camp Osage have central hot shower facilities. The central facilities also include bathroom and shower facilities for leaders. There are separate female leader facilities at Camp Osage. Troops are encouraged to make sure these facilities are used properly and maintained in a clean manner. Your troop will be asked to assist in cleaning the central showers. Campsite Inspections There will be a daily campsite inspection for health and safety purposes . This inspection will be conducted by a camp commissioner. Your senior patrol leader will be advised of the results of the inspection at the daily Senior Patrol Leaders Council meeting. This inspection will be measured against health and safety standards and will not be a competition against other units. On Thursday, the program commissioner or program director will visit your campsite to review it for campsite improvements. This review will be considered in determining the Honor Troops and the Outstanding Troop of the Week. 11 II I • I I • I • • • • • I I I • I ~ ~ Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Staff Opportunities Kia Kima employs a large seasonal staff, including both youth and adult positions.

After completing the training, which will be scheduled early in the week, your troop can schedule a session on the tower. • Safe Swim Defense - This training is recommended for all leaders and is required for all leaders whose troops plan to offer their own swimming activities (including a troop-led open swim at Kia Kima). • Safety Afloat - This training is for leaders who wish to take their units on boating outings, including Kia Kima canoe trips. • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - This basic training covers basic techniques for CPR. The level of training will be sufficient for the requirements of First Aid and Lifesaving Merit Badges. • Video Training - A library of BSA video-based training will be available at Kia Kima, including Youth Protection Guidelines, Fast Start and several others. 15 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Camp Commissioners Kia Kima needs several volunteer camp commissioners each week to supplement the camp staff. Camp commissioners are needed for a wide variety of tasks. Commissioner duty provides an opportunity for adult leaders to see the rest of the camp. Also, it provides a chance to become involved in the execution of the total summer camp program. The more adults leaders that participate in this very important program, the more successful the season will be at Kia Kima. Commissioner duties include the following: • Conducting daily campsite inspections • Visiting program areas daily • Promoting camp activities • Attend commissioner's meetings with the program director as scheduled • Help with instruction as needed as arranged in advance with the program director • Encourage camp morale and open lines of communication. Interested leaders should fill out an application and turn it in to the Scout Service Center before attending camp. An application form is included in this Guide . Camp commissioners will be selected from the applications received and each selected leader will be notified. Camp fees will be waived for those leaders selected as camp commissioners. Program Areas Leaders are welcome in program areas at all times. Leaders are encouraged to share their skills and assist in areas where they are qualified. We do ask that you make arrangementsin advance with the director of the area, before you become involved in class sessions. Leaders who are interested in assisting with instruction in specific topics should complete an application to serve as a camp commissioner and indicate their interest. Twilight Activities Kia Kima offers a variety of evening "twilight" activities. Troops are encouraged to participate in those activities in which they are interested as a group. Kia Kima Campfires Campfires are a highlight of the Kia Kima week. Reservation campfires are held on Sunday and Friday nights. The Sunday night campfire is an introduction to Kia Kima traditions and the camp staff. The Friday night campfire is a recognition and fellowship event. Troop participation is encouraged in the closing campfire. The program director 16 Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde will provide more information at camp. Troops are encouraged to hold their own campfires other evenings during the week. We recommend that you invite other nearby troops and your favorite camp staff members to your campfire. Kia Kima Heritage Night Heritage Night is a special program which examines the heritage of the Kia Kima area, including Native Americans, settlers and the history of Kia Kima as a Scout camp. Vespers Vespers are held weekly at the Golightly All Faiths Chapel overlooking the camp. The trip to the chapel is a highlight in many campers' weeks. We recommend that you come early and bring your camera. The view is breathtaking . In addition to vespers, a chaplain will be available throughout the week to handle any special needs. Canoe Trips One of the most popular program features at Kia Kima is the twilight canoe trip. Typically, troops put in at the Osage waterfront around 5:00 and are picked up at the nearby Slick Rock ford about three hours later. Picnic suppers are available from the dining hall. Advance arrangements are a must and Scouts and Leaders who go must be classified as swimmers. Other canoe trips (including overnighters) may be arranged. Other Activities Other evening activities, including intertroop sports competitions, will be scheduled each week. The Order of the Arrow at Kia Kima Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow was founded at Kia Kima in 1948 and has been an integral part of the program ever since. The lodge has completed many service projects at Kia Kima. This year, they have also taken the lead in the camp promotion effort. Without the Order of the Arrow, Kia Kima could not have made much of the progress it has made. Many Arrowmen serve on the camp staff. Several activities have been planned for Arrowmen at Kia Kima . Ordeal members of the Order who have met the qualifications may seal their membership in the Order by participating in the Brotherhood Ceremony. The Brotherhood Ceremony will be conducted each Thursday evening all summer. 17 I I I I I ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I Kia Kime 92 Leaders Guide Following the Brotherhood Ceremony, all Arrowmen will be invited to an Order of the Arrow fellowship. Troops who have not yet had their Order of the Arrow election may do so at camp. An Order of the Arrow representative will be at the Leaders' Roundtable Sunday evening to explain the process and make arrangements. An Order of the Arrow call-out ceremony will be a part of the Friday night reservation campfire . The Order of the Arrow representative will explain the procedure for arranging for the call out at the Leaders Roundtable. Ozark Venture Base at Kia Kima This year, we are introducing a new program aimed at Venture-age Scouts (aged 13 and above) called Ozark Venture Base. This program includes two programs that use Kia Kima as base for a week-long trip by canoe or backpacking and two programs, Climbers Camp and the popular Project COPE which take place primarily on the Kia Kima property. Complete details can be found in the Program Planning section of this Guide. In addition, the Venture Base staff will assist in planning an outpost camping experience for your troop or day trips in the area for older Scouts. 18 Kia Klma 92 Leaders Gulde Part II - Program Planning This section of the Kia Klma 92 Leaders Guide is designed to help you counsel with individual Scouts to develop activity schedules for the individual Scouts in your troop. The first part is a description of the various programs, including merit badges and other activities offered at Kia Kima. This information includes "prerequisites" and requirements which should be completed before camp. A detailed daily schedule for Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee follows. Finally, there is a "program planning worksheet" for your use in scheduling Scouts in classes (and keeping track of where they should be!). There are limitations on many class sizes. Pre-scheduling of Scouts in specific classes will be available at the Scout Service Center in late May. You should come prepared with your completed program planning worksheet. You will be notified by mail of specific times and instructions for pre-scheduling. In counseling with individual Scouts about their camp schedule, please consider the following: • A quality camp experience includes time for advancement, troop and patrol activities and personal time. • While there are six instructional periods daily, Scouts should generally not be scheduled into six merit badge classes. Scouts should experience swimming, boating, rifle, archery, etc., regardless of whether they take these merit badges. • Every Scout deserves the chance to learn to swim. • Camp evaluations from Scouts overwhelmingly indicate they were not given enough free time. • We recommend that you take into consideration the location of the program areas in scheduling the order of classes. • Scouts in the New Scout Program for brand new Scouts will be in the program all day. They will spend the morning in the Scoutcraft areas and the afternoons in handicraft merit badges, swimming and visiting the rifle and archery ranges. • Older Scouts who participate in Project COPE may be scheduled for morning or afternoon sessions. They may work on merit badges during the time they are not at Project COPE. • Scouts 13 and above may be scheduled for climbing and rappelling training at the tower. This session runs from 9:00 until 12:00 daily. Your troop may schedule 19 Kia Kima 92 Leaders Gulde a time to use the tower as a group. Details will be available at the Sunday Leaders Roundtable. • Lifeguard BSA participants will spend almost all their time at the waterfront. Aquatics Kia Kima offers a varied aquatic program. There are many opportunities for every Scout to learn to swim or to improve his swimming ability and classification. Aquatic merit badges are among the most popular and useful of all Scout programs. Canoeing Merit Badge Requires two hours of instruction daily. Not designed for new Scouts who may not have the strength to complete some requirements.

Much groundwork needs to be laid to ensure all of your Scouts have the opportunity for a week in summer camp. The first steps for the troop committee include: • Making the commitment to attend camp. • Securing camp leadership. • Selecting the date and reserving a campsite. When these steps have been completed it is time to promote the week of camp within your troop. Scouts and parents should be notified as early in the year as possible of the troop's plans. Including it in a calendar published at the beginning of the school year is one good idea. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Brotherhood of Honor Campers, will provide each unit with a packet of camp promotion material for your use. It includes: • Camp Promotion Poster. • Sign-up Chart. • Ideas for Camp promotion. • Summer Camp Saving Plan. While summer camp is not expensive for a full week's program, the troop must plan for how it will be financed. There are several possibilities. Some troops ask Scouts and their parents to bear the cost directly. Others include the cost of summer camp in their annual troop budget and conduct fundraising projects (under BSA guidelines) to raise the needed funds. Camperships are available for qualified Scouts with a financial need. The Chickasah Lodge of the Order of the Arrow has as its goal to visit every single troop in the Chickasaw Council to promote Kia Kima. With approximately 250 troops, this is a challenging goal indeed. This year, there is a district Order of the Arrow Councilman, who is responsible for coordinating camp promotion and unit election activities within each district. There is also an adviser, who is a member of the district camping committee. These two Arrowmen will be able to answer your questions and help resolve any problems you may have. You will be contacted by the Order of the Arrow to schedule a camp promotion visit and Order of the Arrow election. 33 I • II • II Kia Kime 92 Leaders Gulde Parents' Night A Parents' Night program is an excellent way to promote summer camp in your troop. The program should be held early enough for families to make their plans around camp. Your district camping chairman and your district Order of the Arrow Councilman will be happy to help you plan your parents night program and to help you conduct it. An example agenda for a camp promotion meeting follows: Pre-opening Opening Welcome to Parents Song, Skit or Demonstration Introduction of Camp Promotion Team Kia Kima Scout Reservation Overview of Program Video Presentation Personal Experiences Discussion of troops plans for summer camp at Kia Kima Senior Patrol Leader Scouts Scoutmaster Scouts Scoutmaster or Senior Patrol Leader Promotion Team Members Troop Leaders Commitment of Scouts to attend camp Troop Treasurer by payment of $30 deposit Conduct Order of the Arrow Election OA Election Team (call outs can be arranged at Kia Kima) Scoutmaster's Minute Scoutmaster (suggested topic - camping aids advancement) Closing Ceremony Refreshments Senior Patrol Leader 34 KIA KIMA SCOUT RESERVATION Camp Cherokee - Weekly Schedule Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Reveille 6:45 Breakfast 7:00 Campsite Cleanup FlaR raisinR 8:45 AQUATICS: Rowing MB, Swimming MB, Lifesaving MB (BSA Lifeguard-Schedule with Aquatic Director) HANDICRAFT: Leatherwork MB, Woodcarving MB, Basketry MB, Pottery MB 9:00-9:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Rifle Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Pioneering MB, Orienteering MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB,Weather MB, Forestry MB AQUATICS: Canoeing MB (2 hours), Motorboating MB, Swimming MB HANDICRAFT: Space Exploration MB, Indian Lore MB 10:00-10:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Shotgun Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Camping MB, Emergency Preparedness MB NATURE: Soil & Water Conservation MB, Forestry MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB AQUATICS: Canoeing MB (Continued), Small Boat Sailing MB, Instructional Swim HANDICRAFT: Leatherwork MB, Woodcarving MB, Basketry MB, Pottery MB 11 :00-11:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Rifle Shooting MB, Archery MB SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Camping MB, First Aid MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB, Soil & Water Conservation MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB Lunch and cleanup AQUATICS: Swimming MB, Lifesaving MB, Instructional Swim* Check-in HANDICRAFT: New Scout Program 2:00-2:50 Go to site SHOOTING SPORTS: Free Shoot- Archery- Skeet- Rifle Medical recheck SCOUTCRAFT: Pioneering MB, Camping MB, Emergency Preparedness MB NATURE: Weather MB, Soil and Water Conservation MB, Forestry MB Camp tour Swim check AQUATICS: New Scout Program Draw equipment HANDICRAFT: Indian Lore MB, Space Exploration MB '.l:00-3:50 SHOOTING SPORTS: Free Shoot- Archery- Skeet- Rifle SCOUTCRAFT: Wilderness Survival MB, Orienteering MB, First Aid MB NATURE: Environmental Science MB, Forestry MB, Fish and Wildlife Management MB All program areas open for extra instruction or help. 4:00-4:50 AQUATICS: Free swim and free boating.

Camperships are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as funds are available and are subject to the following conditions: 1. The unit leader secures and completes the campership application. The application is forwarded to the Scout Service Center for the Council Camping Committee to review . 2. No more than fifty per cent of the camp fee will be granted as a campership. The maximum campership for 1992 is $45 .00 . 3. Camperships will not be granted for provisional camping.

Signed--------------- Parent or Guardian Approved------------- Date----------- Unit leader Kia Kima Scout Reservation Ozark Venture Base Application Information For a more complete explanation of Ozark Venture Base, please refer to the Kia Kima 92 Leaders Guide. Participation Requirements To participate in an Ozark Venture Base program, a Scout must be "Venture-age", at least 13 years old by arrival at Kia Kima. Kia Kima recommends these programs only for Scouts who have earned at least the First Class rank. Venture Base programs are designed to be physically and mentally challenging. While we endeavor to make participation available to those with physical challenges, opportunities will, by their very nature, be limited. All Venture Base programs require a reasonable level of physical fitness. Participants in the Ozark Trail Backpacking Trek should have some recent backpacking experience. We recommend that the Scout build up to this event by taking several backpacking tri ps of shorter duration during the months before camp. The Backpacking Merit Badge pamphlet has some excellent conditioning suggestions. Participants in the 50 Miler Afloat should be experienced cancers, preferably with the Canoeing merit badge. In order to participate, a Scout must pass the swimmer classification test upon arrival at Kia Kima . All participants are required to have a Personal Health and Medical Record Form - Class 3, which requires an examination by a physician within the last 12 months. Applications and Fees Applications to participate in Ozark Venture Base programs for 1992 must be submitted to the Scout Service Center by May 15, 1992. This deadline is necessary because of the logistics involved with these programs. Each program has a minimum number of Scouts required before the program will be offered that week. In addition, there are maximum crew sizes that can be accommodated. Applications will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by May 22, 1992 of your status in the program. The fee for Ozark Venture Base programs is $100 per Scout per week . A nonrefundable deposit of $30 must accompany the application by May 15. This deposit can be transferred to another Scout. The extra fee for Ozark Venture Base is necessary due to staffing and special food and equipment considerations. Ozark Venture Base applications must be signed by the Scout's parent or guardian and unit leader in the spaces provided.

I find myself not in only a difficult job to perform, but in very large shoes to fill. Ryan Cooper expanded the Dancing Bear from a 4 page to a seasonal 8 page newspaper that is ranked Top Ten in the Nation. It's hard to come in and do a job like that. But I am faced with the problem to do something better. Should I try to make all the photos in the Dancing Bear color? Should I try to sell classified ads for selling tents and other scouting _equipment? Should I have more cartoon strips, better . articles, what? As your new lodge secretary and editor of the Dancing Bear it is my duty to keep you informed and entertained. I can only do that if you tell me what you like. You can call me, write me, e-mail me, fax me, or even tell everyone around you so it will eventually get around to me. I want the Dancing Bear and our Lodge to be 1st in the nation and the only people that can make it happen are you: the ordeal, brotherhood, and vigil members of our Lodge.

These six fine Arrowmen were: Peter Abell, Brian Leith, Blake Rehberg, Jon Grizzle, Robert Harvell, and Josh McNary. While at Philmont, they spent the first week finishing up a trail. During their hard work, they learned the entire process of building a major trail, from surveying the area to finishing up by removing boulders and other such obstructions. After a week of hard, back-breaking work, the Arrowmen hiked a trek which they planned. During their hiking, the crew saw some of Philmont's most beautiful sites and, of course, had loads of fun. At the conclusion of the two week adventure, the group was treated to a special banquet, attended by such officials as past National Vice-Chief Ryan Miske, National Vice-Chief Josh Sain, several adult National officials, as well as a few Senators and Congressman. At the banquet, besides eating great food, the members of the group were individually called to the front to receive nice certificates and shake hands with some of the top brass in the OA. Jon Grizzle, though, did a bit more. He managed to b1ess the crowd with a bit of his well known humor by performing one of his many stunt falls -- he had the entire room laughing hysterically. Overall, the Trail Crew was a blast, and I encourage everyone interested to attend. If you have read about the Philmont OA Trail Crew (only $100), then you may want to experience it yourself. In 1998, our lodge will send another contingent on July 17 - July 31. If you desire to go, please contact Ryan Cooper at (901) 752-0684. Don't worry, the Trail Crew contingent will also be able to attend 1998 NOAC at Iowa State, but you don't have to do both. However, you are highly encouraged to participate in each activity. If you cannot go in 1998, plan on participating in 1999, after that, there may not be another Trail Crew at Philmont. An exciting new program that will be offered by the OA in the summers of 1999 and 2000 is one similar to the Philmont Trail Crew, except it will be at the Northern Tier High Adventure Base, that's right, the canoeing one. Arrowmen participating in this will work on evaluating new canoe routes, building new camp sites, repairing old camp sites, and other tasks which need to be done. More details will be released in the future. Keep in mind, though, that our lodge is tentatively planning to send a contingent in the summer of 1999. Remember, you must be at 1east 16 by the first day of the program but not yet 21 by the 1ast day to participate in either program. Who knows? Maybe an OA work crew program at the Florida Sea Base is in store for the future. I for one certainly hope so. 1998NOA C By: Ryan Cooper dn August 2-6, 1998, the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) will be held at Iowa State University in Aimes, Iowa. The cost of this fun-filled, action-packed, biannual eve~t is only $205 for youth and $240 for adults.

Ryan Cooper expanded the Dancing Bear from a 4 page to a seasonal 8 page newspaper that is ranked Top Ten in the Nation. It's hard to come in and do a job like that.

Should I try to sell classified ads for selling tents and other scouting _equipment? Should I have more cartoon strips, better . articles, what? As your new lodge secretary and editor of the Dancing Bear it is my duty to keep you informed and entertained. I can only do that if you tell me what you like. You can call me, write me, e-mail me, fax me, or even tell everyone around you so it will eventually get around to me. I want the Dancing Bear and our Lodge to be 1st in the nation and the only people that can make it happen are you: the ordeal, brotherhood, and vigil members of our Lodge. Dear J.R, Yours in the Order, John Robert Moss I have this great idea for my chapter but I don't know who to contact about it? Dear A.O.B., Sincerely, A.O.B.

If your chapter chief doesn't know the answer to your question or your idea involves more chapters than your own, you or your chapter chief need to contact the Lodge Chief so he can help you. He can offer assistance and information. And if he can't, he will be able to direct you to other Lodge officers or advisors who would have that information.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Well, we, we in boys got a race on a adventure as Ottoman welcome everybody to another edition of use channel. This Mid-South had doors. I'm Joe margins and I'm... Jeff. Was Joe re-ever-boy scout? No, they didn't have a scout chapter and town and "Bardwell Kentucky at but they didn't, but I was a skater wasn't much one, I didn't get to too many. Maria baiting I got about eight here. They for canoeing swimming or electricity, and then the basket waving. Where did you find this? I got this, I the attic, a few days ago recently we were invited over to ice a Scout Reservation to take a little trip. And they're not just doing things like basket weaving anymore. This is a bit a man in A... And the one we did, or the throne today, it was a 5-8 plus a little bit order on the line. So, I replenishes thing. We started out on our repelling tower that we've had for a few years and they get the feel of how to use their equipment, to take care of the equipment, and some of the different climbing skills and then when we bring them out here to kinda give them a basic idea of how to different rock holds in different ways of things care. We've been planning for several years, the camping committee, and then volunteers and our counts providing activity for older scout. I think everybody should do that. They really want like rock climbing or rappelling or anything like that. See, I've never repelled or run forever, and I think it's great. Our new programs that then well received this year we've not been at maximum level that we feel like by next year we'll be taking a the role of Get-in-line to go. I mean, even after the first time after they fired or even repelled down on the rock their confidence level goes up and it helps them out when they go to the next lumen when they get back, we'll go back and work on the Tower, a little bit more and get back on the tower. They'll have that confidence because they can do it on rocks, they can definitely do it. One Tower. It definitely helped them, that a lot in a... I gotta go out and make it out. And we do have a 50-mile-an-track on the 11 point River. Usually, we have about 10 scouts going that for a week and we have a staff guy, that goes with them and actually can do for five days, about 10 miles per day and camp out at night, and one of the oars, at a four as can be to close. First of all, just the physical challenge of canoeing, that far out. They have to carry their own water and stuff like that, everything they need for the trip, they carry dehydrated food. And during the course of that trip, they do several different fun activities they're saying 80 foot spring that's kind of an interesting... It's called Blue hole, it's a round Spring about 50 foot in diameter. I guess they win that. It's about 30 degrees just about the freeze it's really cold and there's also a key usually end up going to plucking on that trip, so there's several nicest along the way. Your aging up there in the week, they start off by coming down here and learning the horse. Is it that they'll take the forest brush it down and settle it up by their sell that to claim the styles. Had I feed the horses and know how to take care of a porn how to kinda see some of the signs when the horse gets sick, and how to be able to take care of it if they need to. Most people that are experienced, you can use to kind of is all of the horses, you get stuff like as the feed and are like in A-N-A-A-E-E-E-E, and well, it's not very much of Kennedy for his territories when they live in the city. A lot of the kids addition to summer campers live in the city and don't have much of it to come up and DR. and see a little bit of country life, and it's a great opportunity to let them know what the responsibilities of taking far of an animal is, and in the right and animal. Then I get in doing good job, it's really good. They've got great instructors. And it was a new twist. They've never done anything like this for and inspire somebody that really doesn't like a fat want to do it more and more. We want to maintain that interest, but they also want to develop the older scouts in a definite way. provides more leadership skills is no courage in the rank the hills to have already... It also gives them an opportunity to better the self then. And he really goes in the positive thing to do in the out of doors. That's a countable. So I'm not gonna say that I feel it because I always had a great time when I was at cache, but we never got to do anything like that. I'm sorry we didn't have a boy scout troop, and "Bardwell Kentucky is a... Hey, you could have gone in a and ran your own land, you got your back in a job, but now they're talking about a common trip. 5 mine, a lot of post-gonna say, "Well I can do when I was a cake. You didn't canoe 50 miles, that's pretty impressive, right? And it really is a well rock climbing, water skiing and horseback riding are the only things that are new at ACES. Reservation but some of the new activities aren't new at all. And when we come back, we'll show you some of the things that the scouts are learning that will keep them right on target. Stay with us, everybody right here in use can. Freeman South outdoors. We're coming right back that when you put... So as I welcome back and use channels in South outdoors and food in Joe Arkansas, I'm Jeff Woods Jeff we've had a chance to show... So the viewers out there some of the newer things over KCET some of the new things aren't new at all. We usually prevent scout from play in, and fire, but this is a constructive effort here where they are working in fire to change a piece of metal, it from its original source or something that they have in their master. Gonna make it, you can see it in their face, that brands do you need a half-inch piece of Rod and any 11-year-old can take up to a... But it is with a one, and with one hand, they can shake that Meltwater. They didn't realize how fast we made with the come properly heat on or in a one that that is pretty close. One of the other popular things they do in addition to metal work is the mouth throwing and that's a thing they look forward to each day. It's one of the skills you use back in the pre-days is similar to horses, and it's a competition and there is skilled in little hand coordination, and it is a lot of fun, especially in... You've seen those people breaking out the part that "Nicolson the in a U it's... We all get to deal, they have some of the truth. Just come back to check and yes to throw the pot. I told me, so I got a... We hope to utilize our cabin a lot more in the coming year to have a little ragged store, like you might have found in the fines as A... To make-in life so can essential on the serial for the in here, we to do some other things like have our group come up to Stock, like an inner-on day night to be able to offer things that were indicative of that area. The spring is a beautiful, beautiful hole of water, there is no march around it comes right out the sides, the deal completely dry around it one flow. And one of the things that we just... Is that we capture the Spring have for interest, water going into tank even a large wine the book, and you can re-easily enters. rend proud that the beautiful attraction. I had a lot of rainbow trout because they can live in that war was come out again six degrees or so in... They get to try out something that they've seen or heard about, so you have to see it. Or he really go after so I too in shooting their tax. Now, you were up there, you have chance to throw one of those handsets. Yeah, Dad, how do you do? The name of the game is cut the car. And do we see proof for the card, I don't have a ride but I did cut the car lot. I'll tell you no, but like you're working for at that you know another thing, yeah, that I saw in that story that reminded me that Clear Water Spring was really cold and it reminds me that the water in the Spring River is just as cold. It was 20 years ago, so he went up to scale, to go in rock climbing and riding horses and things like that. These days, something are still cold in that river. Some things never changed. And I tell you what that... That's a great adventure for scale, it really is. Well, just as you may have wondered how folk shaped metal back in the old days, you may have wondered what's under that. Damn, that's holding your area like back but wonder no more, because when Minster continues will take a rare trip underneath one of the areas, largest inbound. And let's stay with us, everybody, we're gonna be right back. I Teotihuacan, a tenant.
