The troops present were Nos. 7, 21; 29, nnd 33. They came for real outdoor life. Troop 7 slept in improvised hnmmocks and pluckily stuck to this plan in spite of the fact thnt cabin shelter was offered them. The showor13 of Saturday night tested their ability to take care of themselves in the open, but they came through in fine shape. scoutmaster Ollie TUcker was in charge. **** scoutmaster ]riney and a bunch of troop 33 boys made their first visit to camp this spring. They pitched six tents, arii each boy did his own cooking. The showers of Saturday night drove some of them to shelter, but Senior Patrol Leader James Dallas and several others stuck to their tents cind kept themselves dry despite tho fact that the wind blew down one of their tents in the middle of the night. sund~y morning this yowig senior patrol lec:ider triumphantly remarked: "That was the first time I ever had a chance to camp out in the rain, and I didn•t want to gq indoors.

No. 18. The big rally last Saturday naturally kept all :Soy Scouts in Memphis, so there is little news from here this week; yet two energetic troops, No. 29 and No. 34, hurried down to camp immediately after the rally to spend a night and a day. Troop 29 still finds plenty to do in their new cabin, working till 11 otclock Saturday night, but the time is near when they can begin to enjoy the woods in ways tho.t will toke them out of their troop headquarte.rs and introduce them more familiarly to wild nature itself. No. 34 always ha$ been distinguished as a troop of hunters and led by an enthusiastic youth very appropriately named Hunte~. Even before breakfast Saturday morning they were scouting, scantily clad, through the woods D.Ud finding things of more real interest than some groups would discover in a whole day, nmong other of their quarries being a tortoise that gave evidence of being older than the boys' fathers yet still going strong nnd probnbly good for another half century of active l'ife. It is a custom at Ca.rap Currier for thu finder of one of these reptiles to carve his nar.Je and tho date on one of the plates of its shell to see if it will stay at cw:ip and also to see how much marked it will becot~ as tho years pass, In this instance, though, tho youngster did not do the ca.rving, because ho proved to be a better finder than a keeper, as the clever animal took advantage of a chance to rJUke gocd its escape when its captor was not looking. Troop 34 also began the foundation of their cabin fireplace uhich is to be built in the southwest corner directly before one's fnce as he enters the door. ** * * * There is a great difference in scoutr.1asters, and nowhere :core noticeable than at Camp Currier where the system is to have each troop under the ir.u:1ediate control. of an adult leader. Probably it is because boys are so easily cade ha:ppy in the woods that some scoutnasters seo:o to think all that is necessary is to tak~ thc1:1 to car:p and turn ther.1 loose, yet our handbooks r:1ost earnestly try to if.!pross upon scout lenders tho inporta.~ce of having a well-thought-out prograo. of projects before ever starting on u hike or carlping expedition. The stress so earnestly laid upon this matter is for the double purpose of helping tho scoutrJaster r::iake a good ii:1pression upon tho boys and helping tho boys to have a glorious outing. Though fundar.i.ontally inportant to provide suitable fooi, bedding and shelter, the real success of the outing depends so greatly upon the projects planned and successfully carried through, that scout1:iasters are urged not to slight this :~;attar. ' It is not necessary for the leader to be a woodsr.1an, but he is in the best possible position to know what the r:ier.1bers of his troop want to do, and usually that is precisely what they ought to be allowed to do. The good psychology of saying "Yes" rather than 1'No" to boys should ever be kept in r.1ind. soretir:ies the scouts want to do sor:"ething their leader lmo\1s very little about, but this does not prevent its being adopted as a project, f .or bhe canp director is eqployed for the very purpose of helping out in such cases or . oven assuuing the entire leadership if requested. '!here is nothing in nature that cannot be enjoyed here, and this i::Jakes it wholly unnecessary and inadvisable to resort to city ga~:1es or projects. When boys aro in the woods they enjoy ther.iselvos ·oost if allowed to cast aside for the day or week-end everything that pertains to city life. Give ther..1 a chance, Mr. scoutLaster, and prove the truth of this. 1· •. ' �···~ ·- . 22, 1529. No. 19.

Dear Mr.- Scout Leaier: Every nook you arc reco1v1ng, as herewith toduy, a letter of news ond information about ca.mp Currier which probn.bly is of as much interest to the members of your troop as to you, but tho fact often comes to light that some of tho Boy Scouts do not have an opportunity to rend these weekly news shoots. Only yesterday an enorbetic Boy scout of Memphis drove down to tho camp with his par0nts for tho solo purpose of inquiring whether this camp will be open all sumnor' o.nd tho car.rp director present every day to help look after the boys and especially to load then on hikes and help then in their nnturo study, When assured thnt such was the case, they said thtit tho troop to ";7hich this boy belongs wishes to corJe do;m often this sui:1uor nnd eventually to build a cabin here. If thct troop hnd boon given a chance to road the CD.L'P Currier Nows, yesterday's trip of inquiry would not have boon necossory; so will you not post tho Nous regularly in ycu.r troop's plnco of ncoting or, if tho troop does not r:ieet during tho sur.n:1er, uiJ.1 you not put tho No~1s into tho honds of sorJe boy leader uho vlill sho-rr it to tho other r.:cnbors? In this com1cction, also, please allo17 us to ronind you of a few it'lportant things, narJely: First' troops or snallor groups COL1ing to Co.L~ currier are expected to secure a perni t a.t tho office (306 En:.1kors Bldg.) before stnrting, preferably the day before.

Troop 29 remained here after the Jamboree until the following Wednesday, end on Thursday troop 33 returned to live in their tents until Saturday night. On ~aturday, also, one of tho new troops, No. 15, came fo~ the week-end, while mombors of Nos,. 34 and 56 wero here on· separate days. *** Troop 33 was hero mainly for tho serious work of hotping to build their cabin~ the first one to be erected on the north side of the lake sHo. several men who are Civi tDns, tho spol'lsoring organization for this troop, were hero to work with the boys on Thursday, Friday, Snturday, ond Monday, and ~lready the new cabin is practically finished. '!he walls of the bu.ilding are made of Tomahawk siding, which produces tho outward appearance of a log cabin. *** Troop No. 15 came in the :Soy ~out bus, Clll'll.J?ed out along the trail that leads to Noo 34•s cabin, slept only about the customary five hours of first-nighters, and ate a 5 o 1 clock sunday breakfast. !!:!his is a new troop whoso scoutmaster is H. T. :Butler, formerly of Dyersburg, Tenn. He hns been a Bo:t scout himself and also has had experience in leadership. '!ho members of the tTOq;> who accor:npo.niod him on this trip were Hugh :Barton, Lawrence Busby, T. J• :Byrnes, IJ:lhooas Draper, Billy Fuson, Clay Gibson, ]):lwnrd Green,· Cleo Harris, George Kenney, Erskine Lowe, ~d Albert Walmsley. The troop ~s sponsored by the :Bellevue :Baptist Church of Memphis. $Unday forenoon they inspected the Various cabins On tho cmnp, stopped long enough in No. 34ts cabin to have a twenty minute religious service, and selected a beautiful cabin site of their own where in future visHs they intend altvays to pitch their tents. They caught a ground puppy and a tree lizard, jumped a black snake which ran too fast :for anybody to overtake, and dug a box ~rtoise out of the nud. They also r:iade the acquaintance of eight trees---cucuraber, hGp hornbeun, sycar~ore, beech, sugar oa.ple, hickory, white oak, and winged eln---bef ore returning to their canping place to prepare a noonday neo.l. A big crop of blackberries is just beginning to ripen on the coqp. The boys of troop NoQ 15 were tho first to pick sor.1e, which they had for dessert $Unday noon. Occasional rains will r.nke bushels of theso finq berries for thoso who cooo to ca.op during the next few ·weeks. *** Troop 34 p~ans to spend part of this week at CaJl'.!P improving their cabin and enjoying life in the opene The last time they were here they found a clutch of eggs supposed to be those of a reptile of some kind. '!1hey were not in a n_est but simply grouped together o·n the ground, evidently to hatch by the heat of the sun. ']hey are being kept in the hope that they will be hatched so that it can be seen what manner of creature it is. �No. 23. June ?4, 1929. There were scouts at Camp currier every day the past week and two troops at once most of the time. One troop, No. 34, came ~own twice, their overnight hike being in the.nature of a sumner farewell to their scoutmaster, F~ w. Morrison, who left the latter part of the week for his old eastern home in Mass., where he will spend the summer as usual. The troop did not do any work this time, having come just to enjoy themselves in the woods and have good things to oat. * ** One scoutmaster already this surrmer has returned to Memphis s~ck from eating qanned meat that was tainted or of which he ate too much. Canned moat at best is a quostionablo food for camping out. Frosh meat is much better if it can be kept on ice, but not many campers are prepared for such good housekeeping in the woods. However, bacon is hard to boat anywhere, and it has the advontage of being easy to keep. But meat is not a necessary food if one will substitute boons for it. There is druiger, also, in eating too many beans at one tima. one person should not consume a whole can of them at once. Better divide with somebody else. *** Scoutmaster Pritchard of troop No. 5 was at camp twice during the past week, and members of his troop were here six days. The boys spent most of the week having a good tioe, the best of which was suimning, sometimes as much as throe times a day. But sone good work was put on their new cabin which now has a roof and is far enough along to be occupied. * ** Increased oiling of tho water this year is having a narked effect on the mosquitoes. It is wise, however, to bring sooe kind of dope to keep tho strny insects off. *** Four days were enjoyed at camp the past week by sooe menbers of troop No. 40 under the leadership of Patrol Leader Hugh :Burkett. ~is young scout is a born c~er and can keep his patrol cor.£ortable in any kind of weather, occupied and happy under all conditions. They report the catch of eight half-pound fish in the waters near car.:rp. However, they picked so l:'lany blackberries that part of then soured before they were all eaten. *** Cnr>pers coning for the first tine ond staying only over night are often heard to renark, "I wish I had planned to stay longer". *** Troop No. 29 spent the week-end, as usual, at caI::!J?. Near thmir now cabin they have built rustic scats for holding council fires. Sunday oorning they went on a hike to the rock spring and found several interesting bits of nature on the way. In the afternoon of that day they enjoyed visits fron several auto loads of Meqihis friends. scoutciaster Patton ond J. T· Stephenson, chairnan of the troop con~1ittee, were with the boys during thoir two dayst stay at car.1p. ** * Every Saturday afternoon, when two or noro troops are at caup and wish to indulge in a treasure hunt or other sinilar a.r.msenont, it will be arranged for then. Notice of such a desire should be given to tho canp director at least as early as the day previous, if arrwgenents have to be nade beforehand. This can 1::e done through the Meqphis :Boy scout office. �Comp currier rJeds If . July 1, 1929. TWO troops at can;p again. Members of troop 34 were here Wednesday and 'lhursday. Wednesday night they slept in their unscreened cabin and reported next morning that mosquitoes did not disturb them. It requires two days a week to oil the water at carrip and in the environs, but the good results make it worth while. Neighbors of the camp, also, have become interested in oiling and report noticeable freedom from tho :post. Troop No. 29 was represented at camp on Friday, and the boys rushed directly to the swimming hole. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, who were here Sunday, brought down a carload of neighbor boys who are not Boy scouts, that they might see the new cabin, the c~ in general ond to enjoy a swim. Mr. Stephenson, chairr.lD.n of the troop cor.mttee and who is greatly interested in the cabin, said, 11 I just had to come down". No. 29 is the first to have a troop treasure hunt at Car.lp currier. It will be held on the 4th of July as a part of the dedicatmvy progra.o for their new cabin. Tb.one will be coqietition between the three patrols of the troop in this treasure hunt, and it pror.rl.ses to be a lively contest. Hunter cox, a student at Ole Miss and an ex-Lone Scout, was at tho caop sunday afternoon. He and his brother both were Lone scouts in this conounity before Caop currier was established. Tho other brother is ·now a student at Harvard, l!l1d they both retain a keen interest in scouting. Their father. w. w. cox of tho Eudora neighborhood, is a rJer.1ber of Chickasaw council and of the CaJJp currier Cor_-rd t too. · The swir:ir~ing hole at en~ is attracting considerable attention lllld providing both fun ond cor.;.fort ns a hot weather feature. Tho water is over tho heads of li ttlo scouts and docp enough for large boys to swir_i. rt has no appreciable current, ®d yet there is a steady stroorJ of cool water constantly running into and out of it. It can be used as r_'Jany tir.'lCs a day as the boys wish. canpers should not neglect to bring fresh fruit, for those who do are usually howling for sor.1e before they have been at caq> nore than two days. 1here are plenty of wild blackberries to be found just now, but nothing is nore wholesone and appetizing in su.r.iner than all kirils of fresh fruit, the kind you like best, and it is not hard to keep it inc~. Moreover, it is a serious oistake to rely too nu.ch on canned goods, nnd it-is the sign of an inexperienced Cal:!>or. �July 10, 1929. No. 44. This year Camp currier had the biggest Four th of July week in its history. There were seven troops represented at camp during the week, an average of ore a day, and as many as four troops at the same time. *** Troop 29 had set July 4 as the date to dedicate their new cabin, but although they were here two days the boys were having such a glorious time celebrating the Fourth with firecrackers and otherwise, swimning, hiking, and treasure hunting, that Scoutmaster Patton found no time for the dedicatcr y ceremony, so they had none except the prayer of the pastor as the crowd of scouts and grownups sat down to their Thursday eveni~ picnic feast. Since th.e completion of their cabin scoutmaster Patto:p. has been figuring the problem eats down to a fine point, so that he now is able to provide excellent meals at 15 cents apiece, and all that a hungry boy wants to eat, too. There were no police regulations to act as a k~ll-joy in tbe / use of Fourth of July fireworks, so the boys made the woods ring with their cannonading, and yet everything was done with so much care that nobody was hurt. TWenty scouts were present and they had thirty-eight visitors, making a merry group of fifty-eight who enjoyed the big day together. The three-mile treasure hunt was won by the ]lack ]ear patrol including Eugene Early, ]onner Ragland, Edward Eldridge, Paul Link, Eugene Grissom, and Farris Novel. They made the round in fifty minutes. perhaps.some other troop has a patrol that would like to challenge these Black ]ears for a treasure hunt. *** of his troop, No. 27. scoutmaster Wm.

R· ]. Wilkerson carne as scout leader, and the boys were busy every minute of the time. They broke the record by putting in a full ' nights sleep the first night out. They hiked, swarn, and feasted on blackberries of their ovm picking. ** * Troop No. 8 came without an adult leader, but under the direction of the cam,p director they spent two happ~ days.

The c01-veriience of having one's own cabin is a real advantage in every_ way, not the least of which is that the parents of tenderfoots arc more willing to let their sons coroo in all kinds of weather.

Nobody but :Boy Scouts, their fam:Ues and viti tors come to the camp ooy more, and they are always assured of being properly received 9 their needs provided for, their comfor·t insured, and their program of activities assisted in every way. *** Aug11st usually is the month for longer encampments than usual at camp currier, a time '\7hen the boys and their scoutmaster come to spend at least a week of their vncation together here living in tents. This year, better than ever before, they can do this Vii th the prospect of finding other troops here at the same time and the assurE'.J.1co of inter-troop activities that add to the interest of each dnyt s prograr.1. *** Along with as much fun as a boy wishes to indulge in· he finds no end of v:oodcraft a;r.d nature study if he is so inclined.

Indeed the.re are oany advantages in traveling by twos. *** '.[he boys who come to camp currier, including some who never came before this SUL'lr.1er, are discoTering that, besides the pleasures of the camp itself, it is surrounded by such extensive forests that they can hike off the camp in several directions just as r.iany miles as they LJa.Y wish or are able to travel and finding wild woods all the way. This makes the c~ proper more of a headquarters, a starting point, to which they can return at the end of the day to enjoy it~ honelikeness. �CaTTjp Currier -NevJs No. 46. Jtily 31, 1929. Fishing is the latest developnent at Camp Currier. It began last week-end and has been found to be real sport. T. J. Byrnes of troop 15 has t re distinction of catching the longest fish thus far, eight inches. He had never caught one b.efore. Another fisherman caught fOUl' feet of fish out 0f the swimming hole last Saturday in ono hour. The kinds arc catfish and different varieties of perch, and they bite as if nobody had ever fed them before. Tw~ fisherman caught enough at the swimning hole to ma...'lt.e a meal for six. Grub worms seem to be the best bait, but gr'lsshoppers do very well and are more :plentiful. For three years tho :soy scouts have been dreaming about swimming and fishing at this caI!lp, and how, presto! these sports already are reality and so attractive as to hold the center of the stage. *** Five tr.oops uere at Ca.nr.9 the past \7eek, covering all seven days, and at least two troops were present every do.y. ~; ** Troop 5 already is enjoying its new cabin, and the merit badge.:.; test· on bird study r;as passed 'i;he last ucek-end by three of its members; Thurman Crawford, Osborn Bradley, and John Slater. *** scoutmaster H.

Their project for this visit was cleaning of·f their nenly chosen cabin site, and they did a very good job of it. They also sue,m, fished, and :pnssod tests. * "* * �As this good ne\1S proba.bly will" e;1ttract. increased numbers this week-end, please reaA the followmng before you start: the fish already caugl~t have been as large as one•s he~d and on down to half that size, but that is large enough to cook and the quality is fine. '!he fishing stream is small, so only a short fishing rod is needed not longer than six or eight feet. You will be expected to fish only >Tith ordinary hook ruid lino. Fisherman, also, 111ill be ex:pected to catch only ns mu.ch as they Tiill cook and oat while at camp. Furtherrr.ore, in view of the larger numbers that will be coming to CalI!l? now, it is more important thm ever that each group of Boy scouts coming do'l7Il shall be nccorr::poniod by their scoutmasters or other adult ruid real scout leaders. Fishing hours will be limited as follows: From daylight until 9: 00 A. r,1. and from 5 p. M. till dark. swimming hours, also, will be limited for the present to one hour at a time between 9 A.

Troop No. 10 pulled into camp Sunday morning for their 4th annual eight-day encampment. It required the Boy Scout bus and half a dozen cars °Vl transport them. It would be ha~a. to beat this troop for genuine camping, and t.Ley wUl help make it interesting for other troops that may be here this week.

Kennedy, and his r:ife whose home is in st. Lou.is. *** scoutmaster Roger Stanley, with part of his troop, No. 19, :::pent two days at camp this week. Thoy caught som0 fish, but lack of proper bait r;revented their having much luck. Rowover, they !ID.do up for this with two good bli'rir.:irning periods every day. The scoutmaster is himself a woodsman and kept the boys l•1;,.sy both days with an interesting program. Tho night they nerc ti;ere 111as ideal for star-gazing, and an hour or more was spout on tho headquarters ova1 studying the heavens, particular attention being given to throe constellations which seemed to be quite well learned. One morning they 1110nt on a tracking hike that proved very interesting and revealed some ~ights of nature IThich none of them had seen before. *** Troop NO. 41 of Hernando, Miss., came for their first visit to Cam,p currier last week. They made straight for the swimming hole which natural~Y is growing in popularity. "VJe went on an overnight hike to the Coldwater river ·l. few weeks ago 11 , said Scoutma.ster McKee, 11 but, strange to say, \1e found no good :olace to swim. This little place, though, is ideal and you can see how the boys enJoy it. That little strear.1 of pure spring rTater keeps it sanitary." The first day this troop was in carr:p they were visited by two of the troop committeemen, G. c. Mingee and J. K· Tipton, who hiked over the camp almost like youngsters ond helped select a cabin site. ~t night the boys studied the stars a little while, but a whole day in the woods made them too sleepy to stay mmk.e long. The next ~orning•s r:iail brought theti a surprise in the shape of a letter in a long business anvblope. It came from their troop co11.1f.1i t tee visitors of the day before, stating that they he.d made a canvass of the business men of Hernando 11ho had contr:4buted so liberally that the r.loney for their proposed cabin nas already raised. scoutf.'.aster McKee had to return home the.t day, as had been :::lanned for the troop; but the boys wanted to stay longer, so they were allowed to ·erra in over another night. on leaving, Mr. McKee said: "We shall begin building our ::abin without delay, and intend to finish it before school opens." *** The last week-end has seen soma good work done on the doors end windows of Troop 5 • s cabin so that now they have the build.ing inclosed. ** * Troop cor.JL1itteer.1an Krivcher of No. 25 11as at canp sun.day and announced that this troop already has sufficient Eoney to build their new cabin. v1ork on which will be cor.oenced this week.

" ---.------------ - - - -- Aug. 20, 1929. Jo. 48. ]ecause the usual :Boy scout news was not issued last week, report must cover a fortnight. Week before last one of the big events of the summer was troop No. lO•s annual eight-day encampment, which has become a regular feature at camp currier. "It was the best encampment WO have had yot, 11 said George w. :Bell, JllO of the assistant scoutmasters upon whom with Ed Shelton rested the responsibility because of the absence of the scoutmaster, Dr. Howard curl. At tho edge of tho woods on tho east side of the meadow in front of troop No. 5's neV! ca.bin worG set U:9 tho nj.nc pup tents, two wall tents for hospital and officers quarters and a larg~~ k~. ':;ehen tent. A new addition to the kitchen equipment was an ice-box excoll8ntly hJme-ma.de by tho troop before coming down. Their canw p~esented an interesting sight, whether it was at sunrise with the boys rolling out in response to tho bugle, at noon when the chow line of ravenous Scouts was. marching past the bench of stearnrhng victuals, in the afternoon when everything Vl'as in g_u:i.et ord.or under tho disinfecting rays of an August sun while the boys rested in tho shade, after supper when all sat in a circle around the nightly council fire, or at taps 11hen ca.ch tent uas alight uith a candle in a homemade tin-can candlestick, a piece of handicraft taught by c. ]. Kennedy, the ex-scoutmaster uho spent four days of tho week as a visitor at the camp of his old troop. George ]ell and Ed Shelton, the two assistant scoutmasters in cha~ge, grew up in this troop~ A few years ago they were timid tenderfoots, but they have developed into leaders of whom Chickasaw council is proud a.nd to whom the 9arents of the younger boys ought to give an annual vote of thanks. In an informal and probably unconscious way tho friends of tho troop did that this sumr:ior, for on Sunday, August 4, ten visitors came <iorm from Menphis. On \icdnesday there \7ere eleven visitors; on ~hursday, ten; Friday, t~o; Saturday, nineteen; and sunday, thirteen. Ed Shelton, r;ho had charge of the kitchen, used the scouts in details of three to help him and to learn h0\7 to cook. Each detail was on duty for three meals handrunning, and then their kitchen duties were furnished for tho week. Each boy paid $5 for the expenses of the eight-day outing.,, This amount paid for not only transportation and all their food, including :r:iany complimentary meals for their guests, but also bought a nUDber of new kitchen utensils and the naterial for their new ice-box. George Bell had charge of the hospital tent an.ong other duties, but the casualties of the week were no more serious than a few Di.nor scratches and bruises. Every norning the boys were given setting-up exercises and then they trooped down to the spring stream for a dip _before breakfast, with the result that everybody was up and coning throughout the week, playing, hiking, suin:iing, and boxing. A series of playground ball gar.1es was played with the Eudora troop, No. 56, with two victories for No. 56 a..vid one for No. 10, but the Memphis troop pronises to reverse this next sumr:ier. Saturday night scoutr.:iaster J.W. cooper of troop No. 56 and his boys attended No. 10ts council fire when a lively prograr.i was put on, including the antics of "Miss Williacsll, v1ho net and was introduced to the Eudora scouts on their way to the council fire.

This Scoutmaster, also, is a rµethodical man, and therefore every hour of the trip from Memphis back to Men~his was packed full of a systematic program. As a result of all this his boys were on tiptoe for the big event days before the date set, and their time at carno was one of incessant �· abtivi ty and 1pleasure~ Thanks to Mr. Ba;rfield• s disc'ipl~r:ie the Scouts went . , to .bed eai'ly and actually slept well the first night despite their excite• Anent over the· events of the following day. 1 /, '''•· ;': ; .. ~. +tarly next morning everybody was upt had eaten a hearty bre~fast, arid the cooking utensils were cleaned by 7 o•clock.

Scout Executive Gordon Morris gave a congratulatory talk, and Jirrrw:ie Dallas, who has be6n the senior patrol leader during the past year, finished the program as the representative of tho boys themselves. Th0 company was then invited to anothur part of tho cabin sito where a light lunch was served while the boys put on an interesting exhibition of scout activities.

The excitement began Friday morning when the pig was butchered. Soon after school the sane day Hugh Burkett, the vetvran camping patrol leader of Troop No. 40, arrived with seven other members of the troop to barbecue the pork that night and serve the feast next day. This they did in perfect fashion, taking turns in three-hour tricks from dusk until breakfast. time.

This troop has been going into the woods on Saturdays since school began, and they report that half enough logs already have been cut to build their cabin. i:rhe troop is growing, too. �can1p curr1er No. 54 i ! Oct. 8, 1929 The first possum hunt of the season was out of the ordinary because ladies took part. It was the idea of qome of the old.er :nembers of Troop 10 - Ed Shel ton, Cecil McDonald, Raymond Owen, Thomas Gaines, Harold Gowdy, George Jones and Harry Rogers. Their guests were their former Scoutn1astcr, c. B. Kennedy, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs • .Andrew -lohnson, and Misses Ruth :Brennon, Tina Mariana and Elizabeth Marshall. They drove down to camp after an early supper, and it was neaxly 8 o 1 clock when the~r reached the woods. Indeed, Uncle :Sen Alexander, tht;i veteran hunter who w~s to lead in the chase of fat marsupials, had given up their coming and hBd taken off his shoes to go to bed when the merry party knocked at his cabin door. Somebody hnd recently told Uncle Ben a terrible snake story so that he was almost afraid to venture forth after dark, but having promised to go, he consented to accompany the young white folks with the distinct understanding that somebody else should t2ke the lead and he only follow with his dogs. It was an almoFt silent group that moved along through the forest for about twenty minutes without the least sound from any of tho dogs. '11h.en Watch barked and Uncle Ben said: 11 He has i t treed already. 11 Then the pent-up excitement broke out and the hunters all joined in a mad race for the tree. The animal was found to bo in a hollow tree, and several woodchoppers took turns with an axe before the tree fe~l. With a flashlight the possum could be seen about four feet up in the hollow, so th.e tree trunk was chopped in two again before the quarry could be rel.'lched, and then it was that Raymond Owen pulled it out by the tail and chucked it into a tow-sack. some of the young ladies had never seen a possum nnd for most of them it was a novel experience to go hunting in the woods after dark. Two more possums were soon brought to bay, but as both of them took refuge in sink-holes and it would have required several hours to dig them out, it was promptly voted that 11 we have had enough sport for one nigh t 11 and the party hastened back to the camp-fire where all were soon busy roasting wieners and otherwise making ready for a midnight supper before starting back home. * ** * * * **** Troop 56 was at camp two days at the week-end. They hiked, tried some new ideas in cooking and wound up their stay with a treasure hunt followed by a roast-chicken supper. This spre8d was donated by the two patrol leaders, Irving Craven and Albert Sidney White. The treasure hunt was over the same trails as had been used by Troop 27 a few weeks ago, and the opposing patrols roached the goal all within the sElille minuto, Albqrt Sidney VVni te' s patrol ranking the round in 26 minutes, while that of Irving craven's patrol was 27 minutes. The winners also brought in a beautiful baby gray squirrel which they surpi:isod on the ground and captured before it could ciimb a tree. Moreover, the other patrol found a box tortoise. No wonder they couldntt win. * * ** ** * **** Troop 25 was at camp again, still working on their new cabin, which now has almost half of the roof on and the fireplace foundntion in. �Oct. 30, 1929. No. 56 Two possums were tr~ed at once Saturday night and, as is often the case under such circumstances, neitiler one of them was caught. Later a third marsupial was found. One scout shinned up the tree before exactly locating the quarry. His companions on the ground soon espied it directly behind him, and on turning around he faced its wide-open mouth and glistening teeth only inches in front of his nose. Then, either from quaking fear or deliberate intention, he promptly shook the animal off the limb and Harry Davis of Troop 8 caught it, thereby addin<s 500 po in ts to his fall con test score. In the struggle the possum bit the boy's wrist, but an immediate apnlication of iodine was all the first aid that was needed for that, and next mo~ning it was practically well. * * * * ** * Eleven troops were represented at camp the last week, a record break~. * * * *'* * * Troop 50 improved its first week-end apportunity to begin its new cabin, which scoutmaster J.

Camp currier is indebted again, this time to Mr. Geo. R. Kendall of Memphis, who brought as a gift to be hung up in the Headquarters Cabin a fine eight-day clock. On Sunday Mr. & Mrs. Kendall came out to the camp, as so many parents do, to bring- their son who is a member of Troop 1, and with him they brought this very welcome and useful surprise. It is pleasing indeed to have people do such nice things as this, and all such graceful acts are all the more appreciated because they are not solicited. "'******* Father John H. Shea, Scoutmaster of Troop 49, and a dozen of his scouts drove to camp in the rain last Friday for their first visit here. The day was rainy and the forecast said Hmore rain,11 but Father Shea said the boys had been look:ing forward to the trip for two weeks and 1:0uld have been greatly disappointed not to come, so he brought them. And they all proved to be good sports and good campers. They were lodged in a cabin where they could keep dry and warm, and it is well that they were so protected, for at 1 A. M. it poured down again. But saturda~r brought better weather, and they had a good time although the possum hunt they had planned for was out of the question. ******** Mr. T. E. Beard, one of the fathers of No. 19, was at camp the last week-end and built an outdoor oven for this troop which,will appreciate this added equipment. All such things, too, are pleasing evidences of the parents! interest in their sons' outdoor activities. ******** The erection of Troop 40t s fine new cabin is going on apace. Scoutmaster Austin and several of the Scouts are here every week-end, and much interest is being manifested in the building. Considerable material will be sent down this week, for they are hurrying to enclose it before winter. * * * * * * ** Troop 1 came again last Saturday, a few of the boys hiking down the highway. One good result of the rains of the day before was plenty of fresh mud for wild animal tracks, and the members of this troop took ad.vantage of that to make some plaster of Paris negatives. ******** Members of Troop 25 are now looking forward to the day when they can lock their equipment in a finished cabin.

The troops present were Nos. 7, 21; 29, nnd 33. They came for real outdoor life. Troop 7 slept in improvised hnmmocks and pluckily stuck to this plan in spite of the fact thnt cabin shelter was offered them. The showor13 of Saturday night tested their ability to take care of themselves in the open, but they came through in fine shape. scoutmaster Ollie TUcker was in charge. * * * * scoutmaster ]riney and a bunch of troop 33 boys made their first visit to camp this spring.

' No. 18. Ccrllj p May 14, 1929. The big rally last Saturday naturally kept all :Soy Scouts in Memphis, so there is little news from here this week; yet two energetic troops, No. 29 and No. 34, hurried down to camp immediately after the rally to spend a night and a day. Troop 29 still finds plenty to do in their new cabin, working till 11 otclock Saturday night, but the time is near when they can begin to enjoy the woods in ways tho.t will toke them out of their troop headquarte.rs and introduce them more familiarly to wild nature itself. No. 34 always ha$ been distinguished as a troop of hunters and led by an enthusiastic youth very appropriately named Hunte~. Even before breakfast Saturday morning they were scouting, scantily clad, through the woods D.Ud finding things of more real interest than some groups would discover in a whole day, nmong other of their quarries being a tortoise that gave evidence of being older than the boys' fathers yet still going strong nnd probnbly good for another half century of active l'ife. It is a custom at Ca.rap Currier for thu finder of one of these reptiles to carve his nar.Je and tho date on one of the plates of its shell to see if it will stay at cw:ip and also to see how much marked it will becot~ as tho years pass, In this instance, though, tho youngster did not do the ca.rving, because ho proved to be a better finder than a keeper, as the clever animal took advantage of a chance to rJUke gocd its escape when its captor was not looking. Troop 34 also began the foundation of their cabin fireplace uhich is to be built in the southwest corner directly before one's fnce as he enters the door. * * * * * There is a great difference in scoutr.1asters, and nowhere :core noticeable than at Camp Currier where the system is to have each troop under the ir.u:1ediate control. of an adult leader. Probably it is because boys are so easily cade ha:ppy in the woods that some scoutnasters seo:o to think all that is necessary is to tak~ thc1:1 to car:p and turn ther.1 loose, yet our handbooks r:1ost earnestly try to if.!pross upon scout lenders tho inporta.~ce of having a well-thought-out prograo. of projects before ever starting on u hike or carlping expedition. The stress so earnestly laid upon this matter is for the double purpose of helping tho scoutrJaster r::iake a good ii:1pression upon tho boys and helping tho boys to have a glorious outing. Though fundar.i.ontally inportant to provide suitable fooi, bedding and shelter, the real success of the outing depends so greatly upon the projects planned and successfully carried through, that scout1:iasters are urged not to slight this :~;attar. ' It is not necessary for the leader to be a woodsr.1an, but he is in the best possible position to know what the r:ier.1bers of his troop want to do, and usually that is precisely what they ought to be allowed to do. The good psychology of saying "Yes" rather than 1'No" to boys should ever be kept in r.1ind. soretir:ies the scouts want to do sor:"ething their leader lmo\1s very little about, but this does not prevent its being adopted as a project, f .or bhe canp director is eqployed for the very purpose of helping out in such cases or . oven assuuing the entire leadership if requested. '!here is nothing in nature that cannot be enjoyed here, and this i::Jakes it wholly unnecessary and inadvisable to resort to city ga~:1es or projects. When boys aro in the woods they enjoy ther.iselvos ·oost if allowed to cast aside for the day or week-end everything that pertains to city life. Give ther..1 a chance, Mr. scoutLaster, and prove the truth of this. ···~ ·- . No. 19. 22, 1529. The next big event in Memphis scouting will be the Jamboree at camp currier on Saturday, June 8th, the next day after the close of school. * • * • The last week-end, beginning as early as Wednesday, saw representatives of the following troops at camp: nos. 7, 8, 10, 27, 29, 47 and 56. Troops 7 and 10 wore busy· felling trees for cabin logs. Troops 8. and 27 came down to camp and hike. Troop 27 was still busy on its new cabin, No. 56 was hauling logs, end No. 47 came only on Sunday for a few hours pleasure in the woods. * * * * .An uxciting ovent on Saturday was the capture of a rattfosnake noarly four feet long and having nine rattles. It was kept alive over,Sunday so that all ]oy scouts at camp might have a good look at it ~nd hear its rattle. It is to be hoped that this is the lest of this kind to be found on tho camp, 1nt never-the-less tho members of each troop should be carefully trained in giving ;first aid to victims of snakebite. * * * * This is a most alluring time of year to camp out and troops coming to Camp Currier arc learning to take c~re of themselves in the woods in a most independent nnd satisfactory mcnner.

Troop 29 remained here after the Jamboree until the following Wednesday, end on Thursday troop 33 returned to live in their tents until Saturday night. On ~aturday, also, one of tho new troops, No. 15, came fo~ the week-end, while mombors of Nos,. 34 and 56 wero here on· separate days. * * * Troop 33 was hero mainly for tho serious work of hotping to build their cabin~ the first one to be erected on the north side of the lake sHo. several men who are Ci vi tDns, tho spol'lsoring organization for this troop, were hero to work with the boys on Thursday, Friday, Snturday, ond Monday, and ~lready the new cabin is practically finished. '!he walls of the bu.ilding are made of Tomahawk siding, which produces tho outward appearance of a log cabin. * * * Troop No. 15 came in the :Soy ~out bus, Clll'll.J?ed out along the trail that leads to Noo 34•s cabin, slept only about the customary five hours of first-nighters, and ate a 5 o 1 clock sunday breakfast. !!:!his is a new troop whoso scoutmaster is H. T. :Butler, formerly of Dyersburg, Tenn. He hns been a Bo:t scout himself and also has had experience in leadership. '!ho members of the tTOq;> who accor:npo.niod him on this trip were Hugh :Barton, Lawrence Busby, T. J• :Byrnes, IJ:lhooas Draper, Billy Fuson, Clay Gibson, ]):lwnrd Green,· Cleo Harris, George Kenney, Erskine Lowe, ~d Albert Walmsley. The troop ~s sponsored by the :Bellevue :Baptist Church of Memphis. $Unday forenoon they inspected the Various cabins On tho cmnp, stopped long enough in No. 34ts cabin to have a twenty minute religious service, and selected a beautiful cabin site of their own where in future visHs they intend altvays to pitch their tents. They caught a ground puppy and a tree lizard, jumped a black snake which ran too fast :for anybody to overtake, and dug a box ~rtoise out of the nud. They also r:iade the acquaintance of eight trees---cucuraber, hGp hornbeun, sycar~ore, beech, sugar oa.ple, hickory, white oak, and winged eln---bef ore returning to their canping place to prepare a noonday neo.l. A big crop of blackberries is just beginning to ripen on the coqp. The boys of troop NoQ 15 were tho first to pick sor.1e, which they had for dessert $Unday noon. Occasional rains will r.nke bushels of theso finq berries for thoso who cooo to ca.op during the next few ·weeks. * * * Troop 34 p~ans to spend part of this week at CaJl'.!P improving their cabin and enjoying life in the opene The last time they were here they found a clutch of eggs supposed to be those of a reptile of some kind. '!1hey were not in a n_est but simply grouped together o·n the ground, evidently to hatch by the heat of the sun. ']hey are being kept in the hope that they will be hatched so that it can be seen what manner of creature it is. No. 23. June ?4, 1929. There were scouts at Camp currier every day the past week and two troops at once most of the time. One troop, No. 34, came ~own twice, their overnight hike being in the.nature of a sumner farewell to their scoutmaster, F~ w. Morrison, who left the latter part of the week for his old eastern home in Mass., where he will spend the summer as usual. The troop did not do any work this time, having come just to enjoy themselves in the woods and have good things to oat. * * * One scoutmaster already this surrmer has returned to Memphis s~ck from eating qanned meat that was tainted or of which he ate too much. Canned moat at best is a quostionablo food for camping out. Frosh meat is much better if it can be kept on ice, but not many campers are prepared for such good housekeeping in the woods. However, bacon is hard to boat anywhere, and it has the advontage of being easy to keep. But meat is not a necessary food if one will substitute boons for it. There is druiger, also, in eating too many beans at one tima. one person should not consume a whole can of them at once. Better divide with somebody else. * * * Scoutmaster Pritchard of troop No. 5 was at camp twice during the past week, and members of his troop were here six days. The boys spent most of the week having a good tioe, the best of which was suimning, sometimes as much as throe times a day. But sone good work was put on their new cabin which now has a roof and is far enough along to be occupied. * * * Increased oiling of tho water this year is having a narked effect on the mosquitoes. It is wise, however, to bring sooe kind of dope to keep tho strny insects off. * * * Four days were enjoyed at camp the past week by sooe menbers of troop No. 40 under the leadership of Patrol Leader Hugh :Burkett. ~is young scout is a born c~er and can keep his patrol cor.£ortable in any kind of weather, occupied and happy under all conditions. They report the catch of eight half-pound fish in the waters near car.:rp. However, they picked so l:'lany blackberries that part of then soured before they were all eaten. * * * Cnr>pers coning for the first tine ond staying only over night are often heard to renark, "I wish I had planned to stay longer". * * * Troop No. 29 spent the week-end, as usual, at caI::!J?. Near thmir now cabin they have built rustic scats for holding council fires. Sunday oorning they went on a hike to the rock spring and found several interesting bits of nature on the way. In the afternoon of that day they enjoyed visits fron several auto loads of Meqihis friends. scoutciaster Patton ond J. T· Stephenson, chairnan of the troop con~1ittee, were with the boys during thoir two dayst stay at car.1p. * * * Every Saturday afternoon, when two or noro troops are at caup and wish to indulge in a treasure hunt or other sinilar a.r.msenont, it will be arranged for then. Notice of such a desire should be given to tho canp director at least as early as the day previous, if arrwgenents have to be nade beforehand. This can 1::e done through the Meqphis :Boy scout office. Comp currier rJeds I f . July 1, 1929. TWO troops at can;p again. Members of troop 34 were here Wednesday and 'lhursday. Wednesday night they slept in their unscreened cabin and reported next morning that mosquitoes did not disturb them. It requires two days a week to oil the water at carrip and in the environs, but the good results make it worth while. Neighbors of the camp, also, have become interested in oiling and report noticeable freedom from tho :post. Troop No. 29 was represented at camp on Friday, and the boys rushed directly to the swimming hole. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, who were here Sunday, brought down a carload of neighbor boys who are not Boy scouts, that they might see the new cabin, the c~ in general ond to enjoy a swim. Mr. Stephenson, chairr.lD.n of the troop cor.mttee and who is greatly interested in the cabin, said, 11 I just had to come down". No. 29 is the first to have a troop treasure hunt at Car.lp currier. It will be held on the 4th of July as a part of the dedicatmvy progra.o for their new cabin. Tb.one will be coqietition between the three patrols of the troop in this treasure hunt, and it pror.rl.ses to be a lively contest. Hunter cox, a student at Ole Miss and an ex-Lone Scout, was at tho caop sunday afternoon. He and his brother both were Lone scouts in this conounity before Caop currier was established. Tho other brother is ·now a student at Harvard, l!l1d they both retain a keen interest in scouting. Their father. w. w. cox of tho Eudora neighborhood, is a rJer.1ber of Chickasaw council and of the CaJJp currier C or_-rd t too. · The swir:ir~ing hole at en~ is attracting considerable attention lllld providing both fun ond cor.;.fort ns a hot weather feature. Tho water is over tho heads of li ttlo scouts and docp enough for large boys to swir_i. rt has no appreciable current, ®d yet there is a steady stroorJ of cool water constantly running into and out of it. It can be used as r_'Jany tir.'lCs a day as the boys wish. canpers should not neglect to bring fresh fruit, for those who do are usually howling for sor.1e before they have been at caq> nore than two days. 1here are plenty of wild blackberries to be found just now, but nothing is nore wholesone and appetizing in su.r.iner than all kirils of fresh fruit, the kind you like best, and it is not hard to keep it inc~. Moreover, it is a serious oistake to rely too nu.ch on canned goods, nnd it-is the sign of an inexperienced Cal:!>or. No. 44. July 10, 1929. This year Camp currier had the biggest Four th of July week in its history. There were seven troops represented at camp during the week, an average of ore a day, and as many as four troops at the same time. * * * Troop 29 had set July 4 as the date to dedicate their new cabin, but although they were here two days the boys were having such a glorious time celebrating the Fourth with firecrackers and otherwise, swimning, hiking, and treasure hunting, that Scoutmaster Patton found no time for the dedicatcr y ceremony, so they had none except the prayer of the pastor as the crowd of scouts and grownups sat down to their Thursday eveni~ picnic feast. Since th.e completion of their cabin scoutmaster Patto:p. has been figuring the problem eats down to a fine point, so that he now is able to provide excellent meals at 15 cents apiece, and all that a hungry boy wants to eat, too. / There were no police regulations to act as a k~ll-joy in tbe use of Fourth of July fireworks, so the boys made the woods ring with their cannonading, and yet everything was done with so much care that nobody was hurt. TWenty scouts were present and they had thirty-eight visitors, making a merry group of fifty-eight who enjoyed the big day together. The three-mile treasure hunt was won by the ]lack ]ear patrol including Eugene Early, ]onner Ragland, Edward Eldridge, Paul Link, Eugene Grissom, and Farris Novel. They made the round in fifty minutes. perhaps.some other troop has a patrol that would like to challenge these Black ]ears for a treasure hunt. * * * scoutmaster Wm. J. ]arfield was down for two days with part of his troop, No. 27. '!hey had a gc;iod program and a pleasant out]rg. * * * Messrs. D. T· Griffith and H. L• ]eardsley of the tropp committee of No. 33 were here two days and a group of the scouts under the lead~rship of Jimmie Dallas spent three days at camp working on their recently inclosed cabin. * * * Troop No. 38 enjoyed its first over-night caniping visit at Camp currier the last week-end. R· ]. Wilkerson carne as scout leader, and the boys were busy every minute of the time. They broke the record by putting in a full ' nights sleep the first night out. They hiked, swarn, and feasted on blackberries of their ovm picking. * * * Troop No. 8 came without an adult leader, but under the direction of the cam,p director they spent two happ~ days. At present this troop has no scoutmaster. NO. 44.

It is fc:tr so.fer than the city of lvlor:iphis in every uay that one may wish to compare the two places. It is true that down here the boys are allowed the greatest freedom; the~ can go as scantily clad as the laws of cor.mon decency perin:i t; they swim in the oost comfortable bathing suits ever r:iade, provided by Mother Nature; they can drink excellent cous r.U.lk, buy fresh vegetables in the neighborhood, and pick their own fresh fruit. last for a week or two yet. in having them on the oenu. * * * The big crops of blackberries and Way apples wiilil There is as ouch fun gathering them as satisfaction * * * scoutoaster Pritchard and his right-hand helper, Perry Pipkin, brought their wives .down to visit the boys of their troop, No. 5, who did a little 1:io re work on their new ca bin last week-end. * * * $Un.days are suitably spent at canp. There is a short religious service every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock for all Boy scouts or their parents who may wish to attend.

The c01-veriience of having one's own cabin is a real advantage in every_ way, not the least of which is that the parents of tenderfoots arc more willing to let their sons coroo in all kinds of weather. A place to swim, also, is a very groat attraction for tho boys themselves in warm weather, because it insurus bodily comfort as well as addir:g materially to each day•s program. * * * A lot of Boy scouts v;ho froquon t the camp arc leam·-ing how to take care of themselves so rrell in the >1oods that ver.1 little is over heard about chiggers causing any discomfort..

The camp director 1 s constant presence there results in the perfect protectim of the camp so that it is enjoying entire freedom from poache:rs of any kind. Nobody but :Boy Scouts, their fam:Ues and viti tors come to the camp ooy more, and they are always assured of being properly received9 their needs provided for, their comfor·t insured, and their program of activities assisted in every way. * * * Aug11st usually is the month for longer encampments than usual at camp currier, a time '\7hen the boys and their scoutmaster come to spend at least a week of their vncation together here living in tents.

Fishing is the latest developnent at Camp Currier. It began last week-end and has been found to be real sport. T. J. Byrnes of troop 15 has t re distinction of catching the longest fish thus far, eight inches. He had never caught one b.efore. Another fisherman caught fOUl' feet of fish out 0f the swimming hole last Saturday in ono hour. The kinds arc catfish and different varieties of perch, and they bite as if nobody had ever fed them before. Tw~ fisherman caught enough at the swimning hole to ma...'lt.e a meal for six. Grub worms seem to be the best bait, but gr'lsshoppers do very well and are more :plentiful. For three years tho :soy scouts have been dreaming about swimming and fishing at this caI!lp, and how, presto! these sports already are reality and so attractive as to hold the center of the stage. * * * Five tr.oops uere at Ca.nr.9 the past \7eek, covering all seven days, and at least two troops were present every do.y. ~; * * Troop 5 already is enjoying its new cabin, and the merit badge.:.; test· on bird study r;as passed 'i;he last ucek-end by three of its members; Thurman Crawford, Osborn Bradley, and John Slater. * * * scoutmaster H. T. :Butler and ten members of his troop, No. 15, came into c~ on the :Boy scout bus lnst Saturday a.nd returned to Mcr:iphis Sunday afternoon. Their project for this visit was cleaning of·f their nenly chosen cabin site, and they did a very good job of it. They also sue,m, fished, and :pnssod tests. * "* * As this good ne\1S proba.bly will" e;1ttract. increased numbers this week-end, please reaA the followmng before you start: the fish already caugl~t have been as large as one•s he~d and on down to half that size, but that is large enough to cook and the quality is fine. '!he fishing stream is small, so only a short fishing rod is needed not longer than six or eight feet. You will be expected to fish only >Tith ordinary hook ruid lino. Fisherman, also, 111ill be ex:pected to catch only ns mu.ch as they Tiill cook and oat while at camp. Furtherrr.ore, in view of the larger numbers that will be coming to CalI!l? now, it is more important thm ever that each group of Boy scouts coming do'l7Il shall be nccorr::poniod by their scoutmasters or other adult ruid real scout leaders. Fishing hours will be limited as follows: From daylight until 9: 00 A. r,1. and from 5 p. M. till dark. swimming hours, also, will be limited for the present to one hour at a time between 9 A. M. ond 12 otclock noon and between 4 p. },,Z. to 7. Of course, the fishing wi 11 be limi tod to scouts. Harry c. Myers, Ca.mp Director. Aug. 7, 1929. Troop No. 10 pulled into camp Sunday morning for their 4th annual eight-day encampment. It required the Boy Scout bus and half a dozen cars °Vl transport them. It would be ha~a. to beat this troop for genuine camping, and t.Ley wUl help make it interesting for other troops that may be here this week. On +Jha absence of their scoutmaster, Dr. Howard Cu:cl, who is snending the summer in the nc)J.'th, the troop is fortun&te and hr-:ppy to have with them their former scoutmaster, c. D. Kennedy, and his r:ife whose home is in st. Lou.is. * * * scoutmaster Roger Stanley, with part of his troop, No. 19, :::pent two days at camp this week. Thoy caught som0 fish, but lack of proper bait r;revented their having much luck. Rowover, they !ID.do up for this with two good bli'rir.:irning periods every day. The scoutmaster is himself a woodsman and kept the boys l•1;,.sy both days with an interesting program. Tho night they nerc ti;ere 111as ideal for star-gazing, and an hour or more was spout on tho headquarters ova1 studying the heavens, particular attention being given to throe constellations which seemed to be quite well learned. One morning they 1110nt on a tracking hike that proved very interesting and revealed some ~ights of nature IThich none of them had seen before. * * * Troop NO. 41 of Hernando, Miss., came for their first visit to Cam,p currier last week. They made straight for the swimming hole which natural~ Y is growing in popularity. "VJe went on an overnight hike to the Coldwater river ·l. few weeks ago11 , said Scoutma.ster McKee, 11 but, strange to say, \1e found no good :olace to swim. This little place, though, is ideal and you can see how the boys enJoy it. That little strear.1 of pure spring rTater keeps it sanitary." The first day this troop was in carr:p they were visited by two of the troop committeemen, G. c. Mingee and J. K· Tipton, who hiked over the camp almost like youngsters ond helped select a cabin site. ~t night the boys studied the stars a little while, but a whole day in the woods made them too sleepy to stay mmk.e long. The next ~orning•s r:iail brought theti a surprise in the shape of a letter in a long business anvblope. It came from their troop co11.1f.1i t tee visitors of the day before, stating that they he.d made a canvass of the business men of Hernando 11ho had contr:4buted so liberally that the r.loney for their proposed cabin nas already raised. scoutf.'.aster McKee had to return home the.t day, as had been :::lanned for the troop; but the boys wanted to stay longer, so they were allowed to ·erra in over another night. on leaving, Mr. McKee said: "We shall begin building our ::abin without delay, and intend to finish it before school opens." * * * The last week-end has seen soma good work done on the doors end windows of Troop 5 • s cabin so that now they have the build.ing inclosed. * * * Troop cor.JL1itteer.1an Krivcher of No. 25 11as at canp sun.day and announced that this troop already has sufficient Eoney to build their new cabin. v1ork on which will be cor.oenced this week. Mr. Krivcher saw senator s. ]. Dean, the Eudora merchant, while here and eng£ged of hin the brick necessary for the fireplace and chir.mey of the proposed cabin. As several other cabins will want such r:m.tcrial this sura~er, Mr. Dean will ship in a carload of brick this week-and will deliver sar:B at the cabin sites of troops that put in orders in tine to rJake delivery before the end of the ueek. Troop 25 has decided to build its cabin of Tot'la.hawk siding, the new and popular imitation log cabin naterial, and it is their intention to finish the building this nonth. . .... ~ .. . " ---.------------ - -- -- Jo. 48. Aug. 20, 1929. ]ecause the usual :Boy scout news was not issued last week, G~is report must cover a fortnight. Week before last one of the big events of the summer was troop No. lO•s annual eight-day encampment, which has become a regular feature at camp currier. "It was the best encampment WO have had yot, 11 said George w. :Bell, JllO of the assistant scoutmasters upon whom with Ed Shelton rested the responsibility because of the absence of the scoutmaster, Dr. Howard curl. At tho edge of tho woods on tho east side of the meadow in front of troop No. 5's neV! ca.bin worG set U:9 tho nj.nc pup tents, two wall tents for hospital and officers quarters and a larg~~ k~. ':;ehen tent. A new addition to the kitchen equipment was an ice-box excoll8ntly hJme-ma.de by tho troop before coming down. Their canw p~esented an interesting sight, whether it was at sunrise with the boys rolling out in response to tho bugle, at noon when the chow line of ravenous Scouts was. marching past the bench of stearnrhng victuals, in the afternoon when everything Vl'as in g_u:i.et ord.or under tho disinfecting rays of an August sun while the boys rested in tho shade, after supper when all sat in a circle around the nightly council fire, or at taps 11hen ca.ch tent uas alight uith a candle in a homemade tin-can candlestick, a piece of handicraft taught by c. ]. Kennedy, the ex-scoutmaster uho spent four days of tho week as a visitor at the camp of his old troop. George ]ell and Ed Shelton, the two assistant scoutmasters in cha~ge, grew up in this troop~ A few years ago they were timid tenderfoots, but they have developed into leaders of whom Chickasaw council is proud a.nd to whom the 9arents of the younger boys ought to give an annual vote of thanks. In an informal and probably unconscious way tho friends of tho troop did that this sumr:ior, for on Sunday, August 4, ten visitors came <iorm from Menphis. On \icdnesday there \7ere eleven visitors; on ~hursday, ten; Friday, t~o; Saturday, nineteen; and sunday, thirteen. Ed Shelton, r;ho had charge of the kitchen, used the scouts in details of three to help him and to learn h0\7 to cook. Each detail was on duty for three meals handrunning, and then their kitchen duties were furnished for tho week. Each boy paid $5 for the expenses of the eight-day outing.,, This amount paid for not only transportation and all their food, including :r:iany complimentary meals for their guests, but also bought a nUDber of new kitchen utensils and the naterial for their new ice-box. George Bell had charge of the hospital tent an.ong other duties, but the casualties of the week were no more serious than a few Di.nor scratches and bruises. Every norning the boys were given setting-up exercises and then they trooped down to the spring stream for a dip _before breakfast, with the result that everybody was up and coning throughout the week, playing, hiking, suin:iing, and boxing. A series of playground ball gar.1es was played with the Eudora troop, No. 56, with two victories for No. 56 a..vid one for No. 10, but the Memphis troop pronises to reverse this next sumr:ier.

Walker, pastor of the East End Christian Church, made the dedicatory prayer; and Chester Briney, as Scoutmaster, formally accepted the troop1s backwoods home. Scout Executive Gordon Morris gave a congratulatory talk, and Jirrrw:ie Dallas, who has be6n the senior patrol leader during the past year, finished the program as the representative of tho boys themselves. Th0 company was then invited to anothur part of tho cabin sito where a light lunch was served while the boys put on an interesting exhibition of scout activities.

The new officers of the troop for the present season are: Roy Hearn, senior patrol leader; Robert creagi.1, Claude MclTew, Jimde Dallas and John Creagh, patrol leaders. They were presented to tho:i.r Memphis visitors in a formal v1ay; they had char.ee of the patrol performances as their f-Uvsts ate refreshments; and upon them rests the responsibility of making a. camp record this year in keeping with their home in the woods. ****** Rec<:Jn tly by mistake the nem.:e of this camp has appct1.red in print several times as "Currie", but it is hoped that nobody will be misled into calling it that instead of its real name, camp Currier, which alread;ir has so much fine sentiment wrapped up in it. * * * * * * Saturday also brought the long anticipated complimentary barbecue for Troop No. 34, winners of the last Camp Currier Contest. The excitement began Friday morning when the pig was butchered. Soon after school the sane day Hugh Burkett, the vetvran camping patrol leader of Troop No. 40, arrived with seven other members of the troop to barbecue the pork that night and serve the feast next day. This they did in perfect fashion, taking turns in three-hour tricks from dusk until breakfast. time. Next morning brought other r.1ernbers of both troops, and at 5 o'clock in the af tcrnoon forty-seven feasters sat down to the following menu: ]8Xbecued pork, buns, potato salad, cookies l'nd apples mixed v1ith good cheer nnd followed by a short program.

Oct. 8, 1929 The first possum hunt of the season was out of the ordinary because ladies took part. It was the idea of qome of the old.er :nembers of Troop 10 - Ed Shel ton, Cecil McDonald, Raymond Owen, Thomas Gaines, Harold Gowdy, George Jones and Harry Rogers. Their guests were their former Scoutn1astcr, c. B. Kennedy, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs • .Andrew -lohnson, and Misses Ruth :Brennon, Tina Mariana and Elizabeth Marshall. They drove down to camp after an early supper, and it was neaxly 8 o 1 clock when the~r reached the woods. Indeed, Uncle :Sen Alexander, tht;i veteran hunter who w~s to lead in the chase of fat marsupials, had given up their coming and hBd taken off his shoes to go to bed when the merry party knocked at his cabin door. Somebody hnd recently told Uncle Ben a terrible snake story so that he was almost afraid to venture forth after dark, but having promised to go, he consented to accompany the young white folks with the distinct understanding that somebody else should t2ke the lead and he only follow with his dogs. It was an almoFt silent group that moved along through the forest for about twenty minutes without the least sound from any of tho dogs. '11h.en Watch barked and Uncle Ben said: 11He has it treed already.11 Then the pent-up excitement broke out and the hunters all joined in a mad race for the tree. The animal was found to bo in a hollow tree, and several woodchoppers took turns with an axe before the tree fe~l. With a flashlight the possum could be seen about four feet up in the hollow, so th.e tree trunk was chopped in two again before the quarry could be rel.'lched, and then it was that Raymond Owen pulled it out by the tail and chucked it into a tow-sack. some of the young ladies had never seen a possum nnd for most of them it was a novel experience to go hunting in the woods after dark. Two more possums were soon brought to bay, but as both of them took refuge in sink-holes and it would have required several hours to dig them out, it was promptly voted that 11 we have had enough sport for one nigh t 11 and the party hastened back to the camp-fire where all were soon busy roasting wieners and otherwise making ready for a midnight supper before starting back home. * * * * * * * * * * Troop 56 was at camp two days at the week-end. They hiked, tried some new ideas in cooking and wound up their stay with a treasure hunt followed by a roast-chicken supper. This spre8d was donated by the two patrol leaders, Irving Craven and Albert Sidney White. The treasure hunt was over the same trails as had been used by Troop 27 a few weeks ago, and the opposing patrols roached the goal all within the sElille minuto, Albqrt Sidney VVni te' s patrol ranking the round in 26 minutes, while that of Irving craven's patrol was 27 minutes. The winners also brought in a beautiful baby gray squirrel which they surpi:isod on the ground and captured before it could ciimb a tree. Moreover, the other patrol found a box tortoise. No wonder they couldntt win. * * * * * * * * * * * Troop 25 was at camp again, still working on their new cabin, which now has almost half of the roof on and the fireplace foundntion in. No. 56 Oct. 30, 1929. Two possums were tr~ed at once Saturday night and, as is often the case under such circumstances, neitiler one of them was caught. Later a third marsupial was found. One scout shinned up the tree before exactly locating the quarry. His companions on the ground soon espied it directly behind him, and on turning around he faced its wide-open mouth and glistening teeth only inches in front of his nose. Then, either from quaking fear or deliberate intention, he promptly shook the animal off the limb and Harry Davis of Troop 8 caught it, thereby addin<s 500 po in ts to his fall con test score. In the struggle the possum bit the boy's wrist, but an immediate apnlication of iodine was all the first aid that was needed for that, and next mo~ning it was practically well. * * * * * * * Eleven troops were represented at camp the last week, a record break~. * * * *'* * * Troop 50 improved its first week-end apportunity to begin its new cabin, which scoutmaster J. w.

They soon will be ready to uove into their backwoods home. ******* A new record was established last Saturday by a comparatively new Memphis troop, No. 43, of vinich Rev. w. L· Norris, pastor of the New south Memphis :Baptist Church, is scoutmaster. Between 11.A..M. and 4 p.M. the scoutmaster and five of the larger members of the troop, without any employed help, felled the trees for forty-one logs for their cabin which Mr. Norris in his custo~iary businesslike way purposes to build without any unnecessary delay.

The day was rainy and the forecast said Hmore rain,11 but Father Shea said the boys had been look:ing forward to the trip for two weeks and 1:0uld have been greatly disappointed not to come, so he brought them. And they all proved to be good sports and good campers. They were lodged in a cabin where they could keep dry and warm, and it is well that they were so protected, for at 1 A. M. it poured down again. But saturda~r brought better weather, and they had a good time although the possum hunt they had planned for was out of the question. ******** Mr. T. E.

While every bunch of boys was accompanied by a competent loader, four of these were scou~l'lll1.stors, ns follows: Messrs. Ben Coffey, Joe Flanagan, Bernie Harris, und M.P. Kearney. Troop 40 had chE:rge of the regular SD.turd.ay night council fire attended by forty-five scouts. The weather was ideal and some of the boys slept comfortably out under the trees with only one bla."lkot.

Probably the biggest day thus far in the history of Camp Currie~ was the second annual Get Together Day last Saturday, the attendance being somewhat larger than that of last year and more significant from the fact that it was held one month earlier than before, showing that the troops are snapping into action more promptly after the summer vacation season, and also from the fact that there were more scouts present. Get Together Day is intended strictly for the boys and and their Scoutmasters, and on this occasion this rule was observed almost to the letter. Many a mother drove down to the camp to bring her son and again to take him home that night or next morning, but the day itself was one of novel athletic contests and good eats enjoyed alone by the Scouts and their troop leader$. The events this time·were: A scout axe throw, a boy-carrying road race up and down hill, a canteen race, a possum climb, and a rough crosscountry run. If you do not understand these peculiar terms, ask anybody who was there. The troops provided their own lunch at noon, but in the early evening they were stuffed full of a feast consisting of two barbecue~ hogs and one sheep, Boo buns, 450 home-cookies, two bushels of apples and a barrel of water. At nightfall sixty-one scouts took part in the possum hunt under the leadership of the veteran hunter, uncle Ben Alexander, and returned to camp with their ~uarry before 9 o'clock; while simultaneously fort~ boys attended the council fire which was presided over by Ed Orgill, j\Ssistant scoutmaster of Troop No. 34. In all the happy day there was not one serious casualty. Troop No. 34 won the championship of the day with seven teen points; Eudora Troop No. 1 came second with twelve points; Troop No. 25 was third with six; Troop No. 1, fourth,with five; Troop No. 3, fifth, with three; and Nos. 40 and 45 tied for sixth place with one point each. Rev. N. W. Grafton of Cub 1.ake made an excellent clerk of the course, and the judges were Professor Cedell Morgan, athletic coach of the Eudora consolidated school, and J.S. Barnett and J.vv. cooper of Eudora. Bruce Denham won the possum climb in five and four-fifths seconds. This WDs some feat when it is considered that the scout had to climb into a tree, catch with his bare hands a big growling possum and chuck him into a towsack on the ground. Two of the forty-three climbers were bitten, several had hair-breadth escapes, and some utterly failed to put the struggling, biting, scratching animal into the towsack. ' I The young possum caught on the hunt Saturday night was taken to Memphis as the mascot of Troop No. la. �'1 l The next big event at ca~ is the Chickasaw council barbecue set for Saturday evening, October 27th. �CAMP CUBRIER NEW$_ No. 4 October 23, 1S28. The barbecue at Camp Currier next Sat11rday, October 27, is. not for Scouts except that Troop No. 19 has been requested t.o detail several of its members to assist in cooking the meat over night, also to keep open house at their cabin for inspection by the men visitors. Other troops that may wish to spend the week-end at camp may do so as usual, but they should bear in mind that the barbecue is for m0 n only, namely: Members of Chicke.saw council, members of troop committees, scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters. Neither ha~e the men been invited to bring their wives, for this affair is intended to be a real "stag party•i ~ ********** EVer try a compass hike?

The start from Memphis should be made from the south end of Florida street. * * * * * * **** Four troops were at camp the last week-end. The weather was fine.

This bus will start any Friday afternoon at 3:30 or later or saturday morning from any good meeting place in Memphis. If as many as twenty passengers go; the cost of the round trip per passenger will be fifty cents, or $1C for all. If there are fewer than twenty passengers, the bus will still cost $10 and therefore proportionately more per passenger. For instance, if only seventeen go the cost will be sixty cents per person. If there are more than twenty passengers, the fare will still be fifty cents apiece. The bus and driver, who is an experienced school bus chauffeur, will remain at camp over night and as long as the load wishes to stay, if not later than Sunday evening, so that they can start home at any time if bad weather threatens. This bus can be engaged by phoning the Boy scout office not later than noon on Friday, but a longer notice is desirable. �* * * ***** ** some members of Troop 34 undertook a compass hike from Memphis to c. c. last Friday but did not start early en~igh to finish it before dark, so they stopped eight miles from camp and rode in the rest of the way. They were greatly pleased with the big undertaking, and probably will finish it this week. Another troop, however, is planning 'to do it all in one day and to do it first. * * * * * * * * * * * It rained at camp Monday, effectually settling the dust problem for this season. With fair weather for the remainder of the week everything will be favorable for the barbecue next Saturday. : .1. •• ·: ,\ .. . '" ,•·. , . �CAMP CURRIER NEWS No. 5. I October 30, 1928. The men, who alone were to enjoy the Chickasaw council barbecue last Saturday evening, may think it was ruined by the rain which set in at 8 o• clock in the morning; bu.t troops No. 19, 34, 40 and 50 have a different tale to tell. As soon as the rain had set in as an all day drizzle a telephone call from the Memphis office announced that the men's gathering was called off, and permission was given to feed to the scouts who happened to be at camp the lamb and pig that had been roasting all night over the barbecue pit. This announcement was received with shouts of pleasure by the boys and gave renewed impetus to their rainy-day indoor work of grinding axes, sharpening knives and otherwise making ready for fair weather activities. some even went on hunger hikes and stayed their appetites at noon with persimmons, hickory nuts and parched corn in anticipation of the bigger feed that was promised for the early evening. About 4:30 a few men from Eudora came for the feast, and soon afterwards all the meat the crowd could eat, together with an apple apiece, was served to an even half hundred people including these leaders: scoutmasters J.W. cooper, Arnold Houston, F.W. Morrison, Roger Stanley, and Assistant scoutmasters W!W. Grafton, Cedell . Morgan and Ed Orgill. ***"'*** Last 'Thursday a dozen members of Troop NO• 25 hiked from Memphis to camp currier, thus ad.ding 12,0bo points to their credit in the fall contest.

No sooner had the hunt actually begun than the full moon burst through the thinning clouds, the hillsides already were drained enough for good hiking, and even some logs were found sufficiently dry to sit on. The first possum treed either went to sleep on high or averted his face so persistently that the battery of half a dozen searchlights failed to catch his eye, and the second one ; ao successfully hid himself among tree roots underground that digging him out was impracticable; but the third, after having a branch cut off under him, crawled into another tree where John Loomer was waiting to nab him, and on the way back to camp Ray Owen captured another on a limb thirty feet from the ground. * ** *** * Troop No. 5u chose a cabin site last Saturday and began cleaning it up. ******* A Redskin powwow will be held soon, probably on November 9.

However, when he grasped the possum the animal retaliated by bi ting tho youth's wrist, whereupon both of them let loose of each other and down came the possum to the grou.YJ.d below. Still he lit on all fours and was about to make his get-away had it not been for Stewart Dean of Troop 50 who pounced up on the fleeing quarry.

' . �CAMP CURRIER NEW§. November 20, 1828. The, big event at camp J_ast week was the barbecue for TroopsJ.l aP.d 34, winners and runners-up ~n the 1927 fall contest. After the close of the contest on December 31 there were so many weeks of uncertain weather that the affair finally 1"Tas po~tponed to be the opening event for the pr·es-· ent season, but on account of the absence of both scoutmasters there was a further postponement until. they both could be present, At last scoutmaster A.S. Fry of Troop No. 11 urged that there be no further delay becauce of his prolonged stay in Texas, and a!:\ it happened scoutmaster F.W. Morrison of Troop No. 34 wa$ ill on the C.ate set and after all both scoutmasters were conspicuous for their absenee. The feast was a sort of housewarming for No. 34•s new cabin where two tables were spread and the eats were served. by this troop in honor of the other one, their friends the victors. The bill-of-fare consisted of barbecued pig with dressing, hot· beans, rolls, pickles, pumpkin pie, and hot cocoa and apples. Following tho food the trophy was presented to Troop No, 11 by scout Executive W. Gordon Morris in a happy speech in which he alluded to the fact that in both of these troops are many scouts who are real campers. The prize given to No. 11 to keep until won by some other troop is a handmade hickory loving cup on which is burned the inscription "C.C.F.C. Troop :No, 11, 192T1 ; and there is additional space for the succeeding winners in the years to come, It is an interesting coincidence that scoutmaster Fry of the winning troop ougge3ted before the contest that the trophy be something of no material value but calculated to gather unto itself as the years pass a sentioantal value to make it a coveted prize, and this already is coming true as inciicated by the hot race now in progress to secure its possession during the coming year. Deputy Edmund of the ly way defeat Following the presentation of the trophy short talks were made by Commissioner Willard Ecy,;, AE>sistant Scoutmasters Lucian Smith and Orgill, and senior Pat:rol Lcs..d~rs Franklin Kimbrough and Ray Owen two troops, one of whom quite feelingly alluded to the most friendin which Nos. 11 and ~4 celebrated the victory of the former and of the latter in the initial contest. *"'**** Last Saturday night 1 s possum hunt was enjoyed by members of Troops No. 11 and 4Q, and the quarry as usual was caught by hand.

Transportation to ca.mp currier is not a difficult problem if understood and planned for in time. Otherwise, however, it may cause._c.onsiderable inconvenience for all concerned. Here is one point that needs to be explained again: The 'bus drivers of Eudora carry school children mornings and evenings five days a week. On those days they can be reached by telephone about 8 A. M. and 3 P .M. But on Saturdays and SU.ndays it is hard to get in touch with them, and even then they usually a~e engaged in something else unless notified beforehand. scoutmasters should put in orders for these bu.ses not later than Friday noon. ******** Last Saturday camp currier was the scene of a supper hike by members of the scout Leaders Training school. They obtained· a little outdoor experience, most of which was cooking their own suppers on campfires, and then the majority of those present decided to join the Boy scouts in the regular Saturday night possum hunt. It was a beautiful moonlight night and so mild that nobody could suffer mu.ch from the cold, even if not properly clothed for the outing, bu.t the clever little marsupials steadfastly refused to make an exhibition of themselves before this bunch of men. so it was decided to hold the· council fire while waiting for the hounds to put something up a tree. songs, stunts, speeches and story-telling made an interesting program for nearly an hour under the auspices of Troop No. 9, scoutmaster T.J. TUrner presiding, and then the men decided to return to camp and to Memphis. several of the boys, also, had to leave because of anxious parents awaiting their late arrival home, so that the hunting party was reduced to scoutmaster Ben Coffey and six of his Troop, No.l, and Edgar Gaulding of No. 40. Exactly at 11 o•clock the dogs treed their quarry and the flashlights found it far out on a limb fifty feet above the ground. scouts Walter Allen and Robert Reinert went up the tree but the animal was so far out of reac~ that it had to be shaken out. Landing in the very midst of the five boys below, it made haste to get away, but Edgar Gaulding, the lone representative of Troop No. 40, was too quick for it and soon arose from the melee of boys and dogs holding high his victim dnngling by its tail. His experience of the evening netted his Troop 700 po in ts in the contest. *****"'** A.W.

December 5, 1928, scout Otis Tu.cker of troep No. ll was the hero of two possum captures on the hunt last Saturday night, catching one young animal only ten feet up in a small tree and grabbing by the throat a cross old he-possum that had been driven to its lair and stood there at bay with threatening, wide-open mouth and vicious growls. The first quarry was treed almost immediately after the hunters started from Uncle :sen Alexander• s home in the edge of the forest and we.s chucked into the towsack within tan minutes. The second was bagged about an hcur later. Their captor bought the large possum and took it home to skin and stretch its hide, while he and Spencer ]ell bought the small one to be kept as the mascot of the wolf patrol. ** ** *** The heavy rains of Thursday and Friday cut down the attendance at car4{:> to seven troops, whereas several others had planned to spend the Thanksgiving week-end here.

Scoutmasters Joe w.

Probably the biggest day thus far in the history of Camp Currie~ was the second annual Get Together Day last Saturday, the attendance being somewhat larger than that of last year and more significant from the fact that it was held one month earlier than before, showing that the troops are snapping into action more promptly after the summer vacation season, and also from the fact that there were more scouts present. Get Together Day is intended strictly for the boys and and their Scoutmasters, and on this occasion this rule was observed almost to the letter. Many a mother drove down to the camp to bring her son and again to take him home that night or next morning, but the day itself was one of novel athletic contests and good eats enjoyed alone by the Scouts and their troop leader$. The events this time·were: A scout axe throw, a boy-carrying road race up and down hill, a canteen race, a possum climb, and a rough crosscountry run. If you do not understand these peculiar terms, ask anybody who was there. The troops provided their own lunch at noon, but in the early evening they were stuffed full of a feast consisting of two barbecue~ hogs and one sheep, Boo buns, 450 home-cookies, two bushels of apples and a barrel of water. At nightfall sixty-one scouts took part in the possum hunt under the leadership of the veteran hunter, uncle Ben Alexander, and returned to camp with their ~uarry before 9 o'clock; while simultaneously fort~ boys attended the council fire which was presided over by Ed Orgill, j\Ssistant scoutmaster of Troop No. 34. In all the happy day there was not one serious casualty. Troop No. 34 won the championship of the day with seven teen points; Eudora Troop No. 1 came second with twelve points; Troop No. 25 was third with six; Troop No. 1, fourth,with five; Troop No. 3, fifth, with three; and Nos. 40 and 45 tied for sixth place with one point each. Rev. N. W. Grafton of Cub 1.ake made an excellent clerk of the course, and the judges were Professor Cedell Morgan, athletic coach of the Eudora consolidated school, and J.S. Barnett and J.vv. cooper of Eudora. Bruce Denham won the possum climb in five and four-fifths seconds. This WDs some feat when it is considered that the scout had to climb into a tree, catch with his bare hands a big growling possum and chuck him into a towsack on the ground. Two of the forty-three climbers were bitten, several had hair-breadth escapes, and some utterly failed to put the struggling, biting, scratching animal into the towsack. ' I The young possum caught on the hunt Saturday night was taken to Memphis as the mascot of Troop No. la. The next big event at ca~ is the Chickasaw council barbecue set for Saturday evening, October 27th. '1 l CAMP CUBRIER NEW$_ No. 4 October 23, 1S28. The barbecue at Camp Currier next Sat11rday, October 27, is. not for Scouts except that Troop No. 19 has been requested t.o detail several of its members to assist in cooking the meat over night, also to keep open house at their cabin for inspection by the men visitors. Other troops that may wish to spend the week-end at camp may do so as usual, but they should bear in mind that the barbecue is for m0n only, namely: Members of Chicke.saw council, members of troop committees, scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters. Neither ha~e the men been invited to bring their wives, for this affair is intended to be a real "stag party•i ~ * * * * * * * * * * EVer try a compass hike? Tenderfoots and other inexperienced hikers had better undertake only short ones at first, but some of the older scouts are walking to camp by the compass, which really is a day•s journey. The start from Memphis should be made from the south end of Florida street. * * * * * * * * * * Four troops were at camp the last week-end. The weather was fine. Troop No. 34 spent two days working on their cabin, and as a result the rafters are now in place and all the sheeting on for the roof. It is these boys• intention to rive out the cypress boards with which to shingle the roof. * * * * * * * * * * Scoutmaster Ben Coffey of Troop.No. l came to camp saturday with some of his older scouts. One of these, Bill Bellamy, made some very good plaster of Paris prints of animal tracks, finishing up not only the negative but also the positive prints. .An especially interesting one was that of a squirrel that had lost one of its toes• * * * * * * * * * * Here is a ne~ plan for transportation to Camp Currier: Assistant scoutmaster Bill Bellamy of Troop NO• l has made arrangements for the use of a large school bus that can carry as many as forty at a time, also for a light Ford truck to carry the baggage when the bus is full. This bus will start any Friday afternoon at 3:30 or later or saturday morning from any good meeting place in Memphis. If as many as twenty passengers go; the cost of the round trip per passenger will be fifty cents, or $1C for all. If there are fewer than twenty passengers, the bus will still cost $10 and therefore proportionately more per passenger. For instance, if only seventeen go the cost will be sixty cents per person. If there are more than twenty passengers, the fare will still be fifty cents apiece. The bus and driver, who is an experienced school bus chauffeur, will remain at camp over night and as long as the load wishes to stay, if not later than Sunday evening, so that they can start home at any time if bad weather threatens. This bus can be engaged by phoning the Boy scout office not later than noon on Friday, but a longer notice is desirable. * * * * * * * * * * some members of Troop 34 undertook a compass hike from Memphis to c. c. last Friday but did not start early en~igh to finish it before dark, so they stopped eight miles from camp and rode in the rest of the way. They were greatly pleased with the big undertaking, and probably will finish it this week. Another troop, however, is planning 'to do it all in one day and to do it first. * * * * * * * * * * * It rained at camp Monday, effectually settling the dust problem for this season. With fair weather for the remainder of the week everything will be favorable for the barbecue next Saturday. : , . .1. •• ·: ,\ .. . '" ,•·. I CAMP CURRIER NEWS No. 5. October 30, 1928. The men, who alone were to enjoy the Chickasaw council barbecue last Saturday evening, may think it was ruined by the rain which set in at 8 o• clock in the morning; bu.t troops No. 19, 34, 40 and 50 have a different tale to tell. As soon as the rain had set in as an all day drizzle a telephone call from the Memphis office announced that the men's gathering was called off, and permission was given to feed to the scouts who happened to be at camp the lamb and pig that had been roasting all night over the barbecue pit. This announcement was received with shouts of pleasure by the boys and gave renewed impetus to their rainy-day indoor work of grinding axes, sharpening knives and otherwise making ready for fair weather activities. some even went on hunger hikes and stayed their appetites at noon with persimmons, hickory nuts and parched corn in anticipation of the bigger feed that was promised for the early evening. About 4:30 a few men from Eudora came for the feast, and soon afterwards all the meat the crowd could eat, together with an apple apiece, was served to an even half hundred people including these leaders: scoutmasters J.W. cooper, Arnold Houston, F.W. Morrison, Roger Stanley, and Assistant scoutmasters W!W. Grafton, Cedell . Morgan and Ed Orgill. ***"'*** Last 'Thursday a dozen members of Troop NO• 25 hiked from Memphis to camp currier, thus ad.ding 12,0bo points to their credit in the fall contest. They made the trip in nine hours, and after a night's rest all reported in good condition except one whose shoes had rubbed blisters on his feet. ******* Troop No. 3 has begun felling trees for its cabin logs • .111-****** Before the barbecue was served last Saturday the rain ceased and a bunch of sixteen sallied forth in pursuit of the timid marsupial. No sooner had the hunt actually begun than the full moon burst through the thinning clouds, the hillsides already were drained enough for good hiking, and even some logs were found sufficiently dry to sit on. The first possum treed either went to sleep on high or averted his face so persistently that the battery of half a dozen searchlights failed to catch his eye, and the second one ; ao successfully hid himself among tree roots underground that digging him out was impracticable; but the third, after having a branch cut off under him, crawled into another tree where John Loomer was waiting to nab him, and on the way back to camp Ray Owen captured another on a limb thirty feet from the ground. * * * * * * * Troop No. 5u chose a cabin site last Saturday and began cleaning it up. ******* A Redskin powwow will be held soon, probably on November 9.

The first Redskin poWl'fO~ of the season will be held at the camp on Saturday night, November 10, provided that the weather is pleasant in the morning and that the forecast for that day is favorable.

Walnut Highway" or "The cottonwood Highway. 11 This is an excellent idea and autumn is the best season to transplant trees. * * * * * Surveying the lake site is progressing despite several rains. * * * * * .Another fine gift has been made to the headquarters cabin.

Giving greater heed to the weather this fall is ma.king the outings at currier more enjoytb~e than sometimes happened heretofore. At the same time the scouts are learning better J;iow to camp and will be able to make themselves comfortable whenever they are caught out in bad weather. * * * * * Arrangements have been made to gravel the camp road from the entrance to the headquarters cabin without delay.

The first branch, also, was dead and broke under Rayls weigpt, but the boy was too good a climber to lose his hold on the tree trunk. However, when he grasped the possum the animal retaliated by bi ting tho youth's wrist, whereupon both of them let loose of each other and down came the possum to the grou.YJ.d below. Still he lit on all fours and was about to make his get-away had it not been for Stewart Dean of Troop 50 who pounced up on the fleeing quarry.

' . CAMP CURRIER NEW§. November 20, 1828. The, big event at camp J_ast week was the barbecue for TroopsJ.l aP.d 34, winners and runners-up ~n the 1927 fall contest. After the close of the contest on December 31 there were so many weeks of uncertain weather that the affair finally 1"Tas po~tponed to be the opening event for the pr·es-· ent season, but on account of the absence of both scoutmasters there was a further postponement until. they both could be present, At last scoutmaster A.S. Fry of Troop No. 11 urged that there be no further delay becauce of his prolonged stay in Texas, and a!:\ it happened scoutmaster F.W. Morrison of Troop No. 34 wa$ ill on the C.ate set and after all both scoutmasters were conspicuous for their absenee. The feast was a sort of housewarming for No. 34•s new cabin where two tables were spread and the eats were served. by this troop in honor of the other one, their friends the victors. The bill-of-fare consisted of barbecued pig with dressing, hot· beans, rolls, pickles, pumpkin pie, and hot cocoa and apples. Following tho food the trophy was presented to Troop No, 11 by scout Executive W. Gordon Morris in a happy speech in which he alluded to the fact that in both of these troops are many scouts who are real campers. The prize given to No. 11 to keep until won by some other troop is a handmade hickory loving cup on which is burned the inscription "C.C.F.C. Troop :No, 11, 192T1 ; and there is additional space for the succeeding winners in the years to come, It is an interesting coincidence that scoutmaster Fry of the winning troop ougge3ted before the contest that the trophy be something of no material value but calculated to gather unto itself as the years pass a sentioantal value to make it a coveted prize, and this already is coming true as inciicated by the hot race now in progress to secure its possession during the coming year. Following the presentation of the trophy short talks were made by Deputy Commissioner Willard Ecy,;, AE>sistant Scoutmasters Lucian Smith and Edmund Orgill, and senior Pat:rol Lcs..d~rs Franklin Kimbrough and Ray Owen of the two troops, one of whom quite feelingly alluded to the most friendly way in which Nos. 11 and ~4 celebrated the victory of the former and defeat of the latter in the initial contest. *"'**** Last Saturday night 1s possum hunt was enjoyed by members of Troops No. 11 and 4Q, and the quarry as usual was caught by hand.

CA~~ CURRIER NEWS November 27, 1928. Transportation to ca.mp currier is not a difficult problem if understood and planned for in time. Otherwise, however, it may cause._c.onsiderable inconvenience for all concerned. Here is one point that needs to be explained again: The 'bus drivers of Eudora carry school children mornings and evenings five days a week. On those days they can be reached by telephone about 8 A. M. and 3 P .M. But on Saturdays and SU.ndays it is hard to get in touch with them, and even then they usually a~e engaged in something else unless notified beforehand. scoutmasters should put in orders for these bu.ses not later than Friday noon. Last Saturday camp cu*rr*ie*r w*a*s *th*e *sc ene of a supper hike by members of the scout Leaders Training school. They obtained· a little outdoor experience, most of which was cooking their own suppers on campfires, and then the majority of those present decided to join the Boy scouts in the regular Saturday night possum hunt. It was a beautiful moonlight night and so mild that nobody could suffer mu.ch from the cold, even if not properly clothed for the outing, bu.t the clever little marsupials steadfastly refused to make an exhibition of themselves before this bunch of men. so it was decided to hold the· council fire while waiting for the hounds to put something up a tree. songs, stunts, speeches and story-telling made an interesting program for nearly an hour under the auspices of Troop No. 9, scoutmaster T.J. TUrner presiding, and then the men decided to return to camp and to Memphis. several of the boys, also, had to leave because of anxious parents awaiting their late arrival home, so that the hunting party was reduced to scoutmaster Ben Coffey and six of his Troop, No.l, and Edgar Gaulding of No. 40. Exactly at 11 o•clock the dogs treed their quarry and the flashlights found it far out on a limb fifty feet above the ground. scouts Walter Allen and Robert Reinert went up the tree but the animal was so far out of reac~ that it had to be shaken out. Landing in the very midst of the five boys below, it made haste to get away, but Edgar Gaulding, the lone representative of Troop No. 40, was too quick for it and soon arose from the melee of boys and dogs holding high his victim dnngling by its tail. His experience of the evening netted his Troop 700 po in ts in the contest. *****"'** A.W.

December 5, 1928, scout Otis Tu.cker of troep No. ll was the hero of two possum captures on the hunt last Saturday night, catching one young animal only ten feet up in a small tree and grabbing by the throat a cross old he-possum that had been driven to its lair and stood there at bay with threatening, wide-open mouth and vicious growls. The first quarry was treed almost immediately after the hunters started from Uncle :sen Alexander• s home in the edge of the forest and we.s chucked into the towsack within tan minutes. The second was bagged about an hcur later. Their captor bought the large possum and took it home to skin and stretch its hide, while he and Spencer ]ell bought the small one to be kept as the mascot of the wolf patrol. * * * * * * * The heavy rains of Thursday and Friday cut down the attendance at car4{:> to seven troops, whereas several others had planned to spend the Thanksgiving week-end here. The road graveling, also, was stopped. * * * * * * * The winter c~ing program will be announced soon. ******* Assistant scoutina.ster Williford Bell and three scouts of troop No. 10 learned how to rive shingles, rived out enough for their cabin and put on a good CYPress roof in three days last week. They hope soon to have the cabin ready for occupancy. ******* The outcome of the second annual fall contest spread like wildfire throughout Memphis scouting circles last Saturday, troops No. 34 and 40 being the winners and ru.nners"""llp respectively, while No. 1 stood in third place just outside the money. Last year troop No. 34 was the runner-up and No. 40 was third. Fred w. Morrison and Edmund Orgill, respectively scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster of the winning troop, worked as enthusiastically as any two scouts in their organization and were as happy as any of the boys in the victory which their admirable teamwork achieved. Scoutmasters Joe w. Austin and Ben B. coff ey of the troops winning second and third place are to be congratulated upon the work done by their boys, who also probably will attain first place in this popular race before their scouting careers are finished, for they have proved themselves true outdoor scouts. The date for the barbecue and presentation of the contest trophy will be announced soon. -2- on the night before Thanksgiving a wildcat was caught in a trap about half a mile west of Cwip cu1'rier. Naxt morning the trapper, Earnest Roebuck, brought the hio.i:;, over es a present to the camp director, and it will become a greatly prized orncment in the Headquarters Cabin. This beautiful gift from Mr. Roebuck, a wsll-knovm and experienced woodsman of this community, is very much appreciated. The cat is supposed to be the mother of the two kittens which a couple of the young Roebuck children found and carri.ed home as pets last summer.

It gives one a real thrill to follow the surveyors' lines on the actual site uf the proposed lake, for it enables a person to visualize what a beautiful body of water it will be. The location of the dam recommended by Engineer Markwell is on the west line of the camp in the large valley running due west from the cabin of Troop No • 10 for more than one-third of a mile. The main body of this \r alley is 200 feet wide and will make a perfect straight-away race course for swimming, rowing and sailing. The branch valley running in a southeasterly direction from the junction of the two at the point of Troop No. l6•s cabin site is about the same length as the main valley but somewhat narrower and both valleys are fringed with so many inlets of various sizes ·and shapes that it is plain to be seen that the lake will present the appearance of a perfectly natural body of' water bordered all around with steep, wooded banks.

Well before vo u arrive at Kia Kima, you will know the program area in which you will instruct mern badges or skills. Before you arrive at camp , be sure char you nor only have learned rhe rop1c. bur rhar you can also reach and demonstra te it. If you feel uncornfon able about a ce rra1n skill, ask an adult leader or fellow staff The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 5 �'c member before you begin ro reach. You musr be thorough ly aware of rhe ropi cs of each requirem ent and confident rhar you will be able to answer questions your Scours mav ask. Be sure to get rhe merit badge pamphlet s for rhe badges you will reach, study rhem , and bring rhem to camp. Just remembe r rhe Scour motto: Be Prepared . In addition, consider reading up on your area in outside sources, visiting local resources such as nature cent ers and outdoor equipme nt dealers, and in general developin g a fir m grasp of yo ur ar ea. ~or only will yo u be berrer equipped to reach, you will probably develop imaginat ive ideas rhar exceed simple knowled ge-ideas on how ro make yo ur instructi on area and its content more appealing , your discussio ns more invigora ted . Consider props, demonstr ations, hands-on activity. Remembe r, above all else, that Scou ts come to camp to escape what they experience in the typical classroom . Use the outdoor setting and rhe informali ty of camp ro add humor, action, construct ive competiti on and gamesall the things which boys want bur do nor expect from learning activities . Before camp even starts, use your imaginat ion to develop these ideas, because when you arrive at camp, rhe pace of work will be mind-bog gling. The rime before camp allows your mind ro fill with dreams of the ideal merit badge course, and allows you time to tell your director what special resources (equipme nt , labor , rime) you 'll need to impleme nt your ideas. If it makes sense for your topic, consider our-of-cla ss presentat ions and special events ro suppleme nt your instructio n, such as guest speakers (foresters , wildlife manager s, water safety experts, Indian lore specialist s) and extra hikes, trips, or activities which may be either optional or required. Commu nication s Once you have the knowledg e of the ropics you will teach, it is even more importan t rhar you can communi cate this knowledg e to the group you will instruct. Simple things such as speaking clearly and without interrupt ion are importan t. Also, keep in mind these proven technique s for teaching a skill: • Senses Remembe r that all learning rakes place through the use of the five senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling , and tasting. The more of these senses you can bring into play through your instructio n , the better rhe informati on will be learned. •Explai n and Demon strate Step-by- step, explain how a certain skill is done and what its purpose is, and then always demonst rate it yourself -the correct way. Make demonstr ations realistic to show their practical uses. • Let the Scouts Try A chance to rry each step as it is demonstr ated will fix it in rhe boy's mind and keep the session active. Always correct errors until the skill has been perfected. •Review Both just after and towards the end of the hour, review the skill by asking question s-not just restating rhe same explanati on. Also, playing a game or quiz contest is another mind-pro voking way to review and perfect skills. •Use Teachin g Aids and Resourc es Make full use of pictures, signs, displays, and reprints on a display board, and use larger-tha n-life teaching aids to increase visual awareness and add fun. Make use of all books and teaching aids that are available. Let each Scout try to do it in a natural setting to show the reality of all of Scouting 's skills. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 6 �•Add Humor Exaggera ting rhe wrong way to do somethin g or other light hum o r v-.·d! liven your session . Be careful nor to ridicule any of the Scours, though. •Minim ize Lecture s and Written Examin ations Borh go against the sp im o f camping and remind Scours of the world they have escaped by coming to camp . Instead, stick to demonsrr arion and review wherever possible. • Leading a Discussion Some of the merit badges and skills offered at camp are berrer suited to discussion rather that pure demonsrr arion or lecture. Discussion leading is a n arr in itself. Here are a few hints ro guide you as the occasion for discussio n arises: 1. Prepare for the discussion. Ler rhe whole group know the subject in advance so rhey can think abour ir. Talk with them individua lly ro discover their ideas . Have a written outline so you can develop a pattern of ideas to be covered, if possible. 2. Get the group to feel at ea se. Arrange rhe ·group comforta bly in a circle or square, facing one another. Lead rhe group to a relaxing location. Encourag e informal ity and good humor, and permit friendly disagreem ent when it concerns the point of discussio n , nor personalit ies . . 3. Give everyone a chance to talk. Draw our less talkative Scours with direct question s or asking them for suggesti ons . If possible, call them by name . Discoura ge speech-m akers by remindin g rhem of the limited rime or by suggestin g that they give others a chance. Call on people when they seem ready to talk. Direct rather than dominate the discussio n by easing yourself into the backgrou nd when the group gets the swing of ir. 4. Keep the discussion on track. If the discussio n gets sidetrack ed, bring it back to the main line by suggestin g more importan t topics . Stretch a point ro give individu als· credit for ideas develope d in the discussio n. There are no stupid questions : if a question is a bit off the mark, change it ro fir the topic; do nor simply say that someone is wrong . This will discourag e participa tion. Control Lase, there is rhe skill of controlli ng the group . This skill is importan t in order to make your message last and to free it from unnecessa ry distractio ns. If you lose control of your group, they will undoubte dly learn very little. There are several basic operation s involved in how a leader controls his group: • Never give an order you don ' t mean to enforce. • Rememb er that the responses of a boy are in action. Give your comman ds to stimulate action, not co check ir. Say "do chis" rather than "don't do char." • Give a boy time for reaction. Say "one more dive and all out" rather than "all out, quick." •Give reasons when you ask a boy to do somethi ng-he can see the point if you do . •Be honest in what you say and do-a boy's faith is your greatest help. • It is injustice and imperson ality rhat cause a boy to rebel: treat everyone fairl y and as a person. You get in return what you give to chose in your charge. • Think faster than the boys: use your older age and experien ce. See rhe possibilit ies before they become results. • Rememb er that Scouring 's ultimate goal is to produce leaders of a free society . Give Scouts as much freedom as you can, with your purpose being to guide rhem away from danger. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 7 �[_ _ ___ _ • Include extra activities in case you run out of time Flexibilirv is another kev a good lesson plan. Make sure rhar your overall scheme allows for ex.rra rime or c a s ~ s in which you run our of rime. • Review your plan and be open to adaptations Revise your plan as experience demands. Be willing ro include new ideas offered by fellow staff members and rhe Scours themselves. Consider asking rhe Scours to evaluate your performance in a written evaluation ar rhe end of rhe week, and consider their suggestions rhoughrfully. to Consult rhe BSA publication Summer Camp Aferit Badge Program Outlines for suggested lesson plans which you can adapt for your own use. The Program Area Another key element of skills instruction is rhe place where it happens: the program area . The program area often contains rhe arch enemy of good merit badge sessions, rhe picnic table. The table is a good place to start off, to rake role, and introduce the day, bur beyond that, it can slowly destroy attention spans, as Scouts find the flat lumber sears more and more comfortable and are gradually glued to them, their minds lost in ennui. The program area should be a showcase to pique the interest of those who visir ir, and ir should conrain interesting displays, games and courses ro tesr skills, and Scouting and the practices ir encourages in near-perfect display. Nature rrails, an Indian village in miniature, pioneering projects set against a model campsire secluded in the woods, warer games-all can be a parr of rhe interesting program area. Use rhe rime before camp to dream up new ideas for your program area, new equipment, displays, games rhar could be added ro make ir a place for learning and fun. A program area full of opportunities for hands-on learning can be a good starting point for an ideal merir badge program. Record Keeping Also involved in the skills instruction process is sound record keeping. Unir leaders and Scours musr be able ro measure their advancement progress while ar camp, so rhe staff must ensure thar accurare records are kept. A sample class record sheet is shown in the appendix, and it is important to follow these pattern in your own sessions. Be sure to make your class roster on rhe first day and to record daily attendance. Absences should be reported to rhe Scoutmaster. Have the Scours learn and fill in your name in the appropriate blank. Good record keeping protects your inregrity as an insrrucror, bur if you are careless in keeping records, records also provide accountability. Be sure to turn in your rosrers to your manager or director at the close of each week. UNIT RELATIONS & SUPPORT Equally important as good reaching is maintaining a good and helpful relationship wirh rhe units which camp at Kia Kima. Indeed, these units, borh from within and ourside the Chickasaw Council, keep Kia Kima alive and well, and they are our customers. Like any endeavor, Kia Kima has customers which ir seeks ro please and serve, and these include Scours, leaders, parents, and anyone else who comes into contact with our camp. The Boy The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 9 �•When a Scour defies your command , don't try to confront him. Instead , give ;i simple command which he can follow. •A leader will have no measure of success in directing the life of a child along rhe right path unless his personal example and habits are such rhar he leads by what he himself lives. Your personal example is rhe thing rhar determin es results. Ser rhe pace in everythin g. Only if we ourselves follow rhe rules will others follow them. \Xiatch your personal appearance. • Rememb er rhat staff is ultimatel y a job of service and responsib ility, nor of personal gain. Especially when on lifeguard duty or in the ax yard, human life can rest in our hands. • Helping, nor abuse, is the answer for a trouble maker. Being a "big brother ," listening to the Scours' problems can win you their friendship and admiratio n. Discipline Discipline of the Scout is the Scoutmas ters job! All disciplin e matters are to be referred to rhe Scoutmas ter to handle in his own troop, in his own way. (Please keep in mind that througho ut rhe Kia Kima StajfAfan ual, "Scoutma ster" refers to the adult leader in charge of rhe unit for the week.) Our real objective should be ro help the individua l make good. If you are forced to ask a Scour to leave your session after exhaustin g all other means, always follow up afterward s by visirin£ with rhe boy's Scoutmas ter and explainin g rhe problem. Hazing- defined as any for : of physical conract -is against Scouring policy and the law. Rememb er the Scour Oarh and Law in all relationsh ips in the camp . Here again, it is importan t to remembe r rhar rhe Kia Kima program centers on cooperati on between staff and the unit. In addition . always tell your director of any persisren r problems with individua ls or groups of Sco urs. [r 's a good idea, too, to have another staff member accompa ny you when you go to ralk to the Scoutmas ter, especially one who was present during the problem incident. Th is rw o-deep rule helps ensure you report things accurately and that your story isn't called 1nro question. Lesson Plans Planning is one of the most basic elements of skills instructio n. Every rime you seep before a group of Scouts in teaching meri r badges and skills, you should have construc ted beforehan d a lesson plan. Here are the elements of a good lesson plan: • Plan for the entire week first Consider the specific requirem ents and break them up over five days to create a balanced mix which allows for review and attention to relationships among requireme nts. •State your objectives for the hour Srate which specific requirem ents or pares of requirem ents you will try to complete Be realistic: try to choose activities which will require 45-50 minutes and which conswute a good mix of demonstr ations, explanati ons, discussion s, activities, and contests. Also . r rv to mix topics so that your lessons naturally review each other and do not get too repemive . • List each activity List and describe each activiry or exercise which will meet your objectives . Once again, try to focus on a realistic and balanced approach . • List the resources needed for the activities List whatever equipmen t, supplies, or facilities you will need for your daily plan, and check before you start to make sure you're prepared. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 8 �Unit Check-in Procedures for the Unit Counselor 1. Arrival: The troop should arnve in camp between 1 :00 and 3:00 p.m. The gare personnel will direct the unit to its CC, who will be waiting at the entrance of the main parking lot . The lJC should greet the leader warmly (he says "Welcome to Kia Kima!" before doing anything else) and introduce himself. lJnir leaders should clear with rhe business manager in the Administration Building on arrival, rhen speak with rhe Program Director of their camp to check programming for their Scours. 2. Go ro Sire: Escort rhe troop to irs assigned sire and allow the Scours to unload their personal equipment. The Scours and leaders should change for rhe swim check and prepare for rhe tour of camp and medical recheck. If the unit is new, be sure to explain to rhe leader the basic pam of rhe camp program. 3. Equipment issue: Ar some point, find our what the troop needs to check our from the Troop Issue Quartermaster, and help the unit get these supplies. 4. Medical Recheck: You should escort your unit to rhe Nature Lodge (Camp Cherokee) or the Hospital (Camp Osage) to have their medical forms checked by the health personnel. 5. Swim Classification: Next, rake your unit ro the waterfront where the Aquatics Staff will administer the swim classification. Here, you should help rhe staff make buddy tags and a unit roster. 6. Tour of Camp: Next, show the Scours and interested leaders rhe various program areas and the badges offered in each area . .\Jso, point our other areas such as the flagpole, trading post, game areas, and dining hall (Camp Osage). For Camp Osage units, the dining hall staff will explain the wrner svsrem and make table assignments. Be sure ro explain that areas for shooting sports . Vespers, campfires, and Venture Base/Project COPE are located between the two umps and explain how to reach rhese areas. 7. Setde the Troop in Camp: xplain rhe inspection process, fire and emergency plans , and mealtimes, as we las rhe schedule for Sunday n ight, including flag lowering, supper, Scourmasrers' Roundrable , and Opening Campfire. 8. Supper: Escort your troop to the dining halL or return to eat at its sire. Unit Check-out Procedures • Check-out time ranges from any rime after breakfast until about 10:00 am on Saturday. • Insure that the campsite is thoroughly clan and char rhe latrine has been cleaned. Be sure that the tents are empty and dear of lirrer and that the flaps are down. •Be sure rhat the troop has returned all ot its borrowed equipment in good condition. • Remind rhe leader to stop by rhe Administration Building ro pick up advancement materials and recognition (patches!) for rhe troop. • Say good-bye. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • I I �Scour summer camp program depends on cooperatio n and collaborati on between the unit and the camp staff ro produce rhe finest , most appealing program possible. In a wav , the adult leaders who accompany each troop fulfill a role nor unlike that of a staff membe r. helping develop the unit program and providing for che support and supervision of evenr Scour who attends Kia Kima. Custome r Service Just like any business , Kia Kima strives ro fulfill and exceed rh e expectat io ns of its campers, their leaders, and an yone else who enjoys Kia Kima 's program and resources . We must always strive to listen to the suggestion s , problems , and complimen ts and strive ro see char questions are answered and needs fulfilled . Never should our customers see us wirhour a smile, pass us without a friendly greeting, hear rheir problems without following through. Ir's all a part of making the people who camp ac Kia Kima feel that they share in what ic has co offer , free of problems and shortages and unfulfilled promises. Ir all begins with a warm "Welcome ro Kia Kima!" on Sunday and ends with the success of another week of summer camp. You, the staff member , are in a crucial position to exceed the expectatio ns leaders and Scouts bring with them to Kia Kima. That extra effort at preparing ro instruct in a merit badge, that extra daily visit to your troop's site-in che end, it's rhe liccle things chat count. The Unit Counselor (UC) The unit counselor is the direct represenrar1ve of rhe camp to the unit. He sees that the unit is checked-in and properly oriented ro rh e Kia Kima program, secures any equipment that the troop needs, and ears with che rr oo p d uring mealtimes. The UC should become personally acquainted with che adult leaders and visit che troop rwo co three rimes daily to see if the unit needs anything. As well , the LC should take personal interest in the unit by seeing chat it attends flag ceremonies and ot her program activities on time and char che Scours are aware of the opportuni ties ava il a ble co chem. He, above all, should sec the example in uniform, appearance , and arnon. and in all ways be helpful and take action if any need should arise. If the UC cann o t samfv a need himself, he should see to it char che Program Director or Assistant Progr am D1 rector knows of che problem, and still he should follow up ro see char it is solved . T he L"C should also deliver mail and keep the troop aware of any changes in the program sc hedule. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • I 0 �l •' Unit Relations Beyond the Unit Counselor Position Ir is equally important ro be helpful and cooperative in dealing with adult leaders even outside the UC relationship , for rhey are rendering much rhe same service as the staff in the camp program. If a Scourer wishes to observe an instructional session , be cooperative and even use his expertise. When earing with a troop , get to know the leaders and rhank them for their hospitality. Staff-adult leader relations are a key in getting troops to return year afrer vear . Your arrirude greatl y affects their opinion of rhe camp and helps to build the relari;nship of unit and staff leadership which is at the core of Scour summer camp . YOUTH PROTEC TION The Chickasaw Council, in keeping with rhe national Scouring crusade against child abuse , recognizes the potential for child abuse and its prevention at Kia Kima Scour Reservation . As all leaders, including camp staff members, are to be instructed in recognizing this problem, it is important rhar the staff be aware of the problem and its signs. Overview of Problem Child abuse consists of a wide variery of different problems, with about 2 million reported cases each year . Csually it is categorized as physical abuse , emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Physical abuse is the injury of a child by other than accidental means. Emotional abuse is the constant belittling, criticizing, yelling at , and verbal tearing down of rhe child. Sexual abuse is any sexual activity berween a child and an adult, or sexual acriviry involving children in which the age, size, or other power factors berween the participants is unequal r:hild neglect is failure to provide necessary nurturing when resources are available to a . )o. Adolescents, as well as young children , are equally susceptible to all forms of abuse . Scour camp leaders may come upon child abuse in several ways. One of the more common ways will be the camper or staff member (under age 18), who, in the course of rhe precamp physical, is found to have physical signs of abuse which occurred prior to arrival at camp. The child may disclose abuse rhar happened prior to arrival at camp. The child may complain of pain or wear inappropriate clothing to cover burns and bruises. Children who are emotionally abused may be depressed or have low self-esteem. The most consistent indicator of sexual abuse is developmenta lly inappropriate sexual activity, as well as sleep disorders or depression . Neglect is characterized by inadequate clothing or consistent hunger. Unfortunately , some of rhe volunteer leaders that accompany the unit ro camp may be responsible for abuse, as may other Scouts or a member of the camp staff Whatever the circumstances, when abuse is suspected, action is indicated. Remember the Three R's of Youth Protection : 1. Recognize strategies and situations used by child molesters that place you at risk. Remember, a child molester can be anyone. 2. Resist attempts of child molesters since few resort to force. Resistance will stop most attempts at molestation. 3. Repon individuals who attempt to molest you to your Program Director or rhe Reservation Director. This helps protect young people and provides an opporruniry for the molester to get help. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 12 �Camp Policies Scour camps must be governed by rhe Scouring principles embod ied in rhe Scour Oath and Law. Any disciplina ry technique or program aspect not con fo rmin g: with these principles is prohibite d. • To rhe extent possible, isolated one-on-o ne activities berween adult and child should be discourag ed in favor of patrol or group activities . • The Reservati on Director is to be informed of any situation in which a camper has been so d isruptive or behaves in other ways that require strong disciplina ry measures . C orpo ral punishme nt should nor be used. • Scours will be properly clothed for the activities in which they are participa ting . ).; udiry is appropria te only in the showers - "skinny-d ipping" is nor appropria te. • Initiation s involving any form of physical hazing are prohibite d. • Staff members who suspect abuse in a unit should contact their Program Director or the Reservation Director as soon as possible. • Suspecte d child abuse of any form will be reported ro the authoriti es and, if substantia ted, the council will cooperate in the prosecuti on of the offender. These guideline s also help to protect the leaders of the camp from unwanted accusations of child abuse . Rarely, adults may be accused of child abuse that did not happen. BSA camps need to have policies that protect their leaders from these allegations. It is possible to provide that protectio n and continue to offer a qualiry program to the units within the council. All staff members must have certified tr a ining in the Youth Protectio n policies and guideline s of the Boy Scouts of America. Thi s training will occur during staff week prior to rhe opening of camp . Please consult the materials available in connecti on with this training for more informati on on chis virallv importan t subject. PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT Besides skills instructi on and unit acriv1t1es. Kia Kima allows Scouts numerou s other opportun ities for adventure . However , the1 r su ccess depends in large part on the role of the staff. Puncruali ry and spirit are required for qualiry activities. Be sure co become aware of the importan t rimes on the camp schedules shown in the appendix. Daily activities include flag raising, breakfast . lunch, supper, and flag lowering. As well, staff members will be assigned Twilight Acri vi ties to lead, such as Songfest s, volleyball, rwilighc boating, and canoe float trips . L' n i r counselo rs will be responsib le for escorting their troops co campfire s and Vespers , as well as helping out with other unit programs . Scaff members who are members of rhe Order of rhe Arrow will also have the opporrun iry to be a pare of the Brotherh ood Ceremon:v and Fellowship each Thursday night. As well, staff members will be granted rime-off during week nights on which they have no assigned duties, as directed by the Program Director. They must clear with the Program Director before leaving the reservation . The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 13 �--;;-- - . The following are job specifica rions for each position on the Kia Kima staff. As well, an organiZJt io nal chart is found in rhe append ix and serves as a " map " of rhe Kia Kima staff. B;t h are incl ud ed so that you will know your place on rhe staff and realize rhe funcrion of each sraff member. These duries, however, do nor include rhose which your area manager or Program Direcror may assign ro you ar any rime, nor do rhey include unir counselor o r Twilight Activities assignme nts . One of rhe fundame ntal principle s of staff organi-z arion is the chain of leadersh ip . Whateve r role you play at Kia Ki ma, you are in a position of leadership . When a quesrion or problem exceeds your area of leadersh ip, rhar is, if you need help dealing with somethin g , always look to rhe next level of leadership . For instance, if you encounte r as a ecology/c onservati on staff member encounre r a problem in your program area, always first go to the area manager, who if necessary will go the assistant program director, and so on. Paying attention to this chain ofleaders hip helps ensure that camp runs smoothly and that problems and questions reach rhe proper solution .

The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 20 �Meals Earing proper ly is essenti al in perform ing your duties with a high degr ee of efficiency, so staff membe rs must be present at all meals. As well, the staff should appear on time and properly dressed, as again, we set the exampl e in this highly visible locatio n. Proper table manner s, food distrib ution, and courtes y are marks of a mature staff and are expect ed always. Yells, songs , and the like should be given after the meal under the directio n of the Program Directo r in the dining hall at Camp Osage. Punctuality As a staff membe r, you are expecte d to be in attenda nce and on rime at all activiti es in which the staff is involve d, as well as to instruc tional session s. There is no reason for lateness in activities given basic plannin g, and illnesses should be reported to the doctor or Health Officer immed iately. Religious Services Remem ber the twelfth point of the Scout Law. Staff membe rs are strongl y urged to attend Vespers services each week and to provide grace before meals . Staff Cente r The staff facility is to be mainta ined accord ing to a daily cleanin g schedule, for both the bathroo m and the meetin g room portion s. 'When using the laundry equipm ent, staff membe rs should be careful not to disrurb others' clothes and should keep the area clean. Staff membe rs are expecte d to live up to their assignm ents and to respect rhe fact that the facility is for the whole staff when they use it. Telep hone Because of its isolate d locatio n , Kia Kima is extrem ely limited in phone lines. For this reason, and because camp provide s an opport unity to escape such modern devices, telepho ne use by staff membe rs should be limited to a few calls a week. The phone for use by staff membe rs is locared near rhe back door of the Admin istratio n Buildin g. If more than one staff membe r 1s 1n line, phone calls will be limite d to five minutes, and if a troop leader needs ro use rhe phone , staff should defer the phone to them. Time- off and Leaving Camp During rhe period of employ ment, the staff membe r 's full rime is at the disposal of the Reservar1on Directo r. Camp staff membe rs will receive one night off per week at which thev mav leave the reserv ation after progra m respon sibiliti es have been compl eted , and afrer the work is compl etely finishe d on Saturdays, the remain ing afterno on and even 1ng will be granted off, at the discreti on of the Reserv ation Directo r. As well, each staff membe r serving the entire season will be given one weeken d off, on which he may rerurn home at the comple tion of his paper work on Friday afterno on. In all cases, the entire sraff should be back on the reserva tion by 11:00 a.m. Sunday for the openin g lunch of the week . At all other times, staff membe rs are nor to leave the reservation withou t the consen t of their Progra m Directo r or the Reserv ation Directo r. Time-o ff privileges are under rhe comple te author ity of the Progra m Directo rs and Reserv ation Directo r and may be suspen ded as necessa ry. Staff membe rs should be aware that they represent Kia Kima, the Chickasaw Counci l, and Scoutin g when they leave the reservation, and should conduc t themselves in accordance with the Scout Oath and Law. Tobac co Produ cts The use of tobacco by those staff members under age 18 is prohib ited in accordance with Arkansas state law and thus serves as ground s for dismiss al. This ban include s smokin g, dipping , and chewin g. Adult staff membe rs, 18 years or older, who must use tobacco may do so only in the staff area or staff centeL Unifo rming Staff membe rs must follow the unifor m code at all times. The staff uniform falls into three classes: The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 23 �STAF F POLIC IES & REGU LATIO NS Admin istratio n Building The John Cooper Admini stration Buildin g is principa lly for the use of leaders and the camp's director s. Therefo re, staff member s should nor loiter there and should only visit for specific reasons such as meetings and phone calls. Alcoho l & Drugs The use, possess ion, or sale of alcohol ic beverag es, or of nonprescrib ed or illegal drugs is not a part of camp staff life and is strictly prohibi ted on Scout reservations and in Fulton Counry , Arkansas . We set rhe example for borh campers and other staff. Violatio n of this ban provides grounds for immedi ate dismissal. Autom obiles All staff membe rs under age 18 must follow their parents ' specific · instruct ions in order to drive their own cars or to ride in the cars of designa ted staff member s. When leaving the reservation, it is understo od char staff member s will ride only with those drivers indicate d on the card. For the most part, automob iles are nor needed at summer camp and should be left in che parking lots during the week. A speed limit of 1 5 MPH must be observe d at all rimes. Lending vehicles to other staff member s is highly discoura ged and nor condone d by the camp adminis tration. Flag Cerem onies Here again , the staff sets the example of respect and attentio n. Correct uniform should be worn, and presence and puncrua liry is a necessiry. Living Quarte rs Adequa te living quarters are provide d for each staff membe r. It is expecte d char they will be kept in a reasona bly clean, livable, pest-fre e conditio n. You will be issued a bed and mattress and should supply all remaini ng items yourself .

Earring s and ocher ostentat ious jewelry is not allowed . In all cases, your persona l appeara nce is comple tely under the authorit y of your Program Director . The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 22 �.".- ,.. .. ,; .. , ORD ER OF THE ARR OW In 1915 rhe Order of rhe Arrow was founde d ac a Scour summe r camp near Philade lphia, in many ways similar to Kia Kima , by rwo camp staff membe rs who wanred co create a way for Scours whose campin g skills and adhere nce ro rhe Scout Oath and Law were worrhy of recogn ition .

Ac Kia Kima, che Chicka sah Lodge of rhe Order of che Arrow is an integra l part of the summe r camp. Often, its officers and commi ttee membe rs serve on the staff. The Lodge sponsors rhe Kia Kima leaders' orienta tion dinner and the summe r camp brochu re mailed to every Scour in the Chicka saw Counci l. Arrowm en conduc t camp promo tion and unit electio n visits to counci l troops , and the Lodge' s key officer s serve on the Kia Kima Adviso ry Board to help in the contin uous upgrad ing of the camp progra m.

If you wane particip ate in the Order of the Arrow' s activities before and during camp, you will have the opport unity when a lodge officer presents rhe chance at a staff meetin g.

The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 24 �, KIA KIMA HISTORY & TRADITI ON Kia Kima's history dares to 1916, when rhe first Scours from rhe newly formed Chickasaw Council camped on the Spring River in present day Cherokee Village . From that point , rhe camp grew rapidly, and Scours rode rhe train from Memphis to Hardy each weekend and hiked rhe remaining distance ro reach the "kamp," as it was called. Narural stone buildings mark the sire , and Scours were assigned to stone lodges where they spent days playing rield sports , on the tennis courts, at the waterfront on the river, and in countless other acriviries. As well, rhe Chickasah Lodge held its first Order of the Arrow ceremonies at the old camp . Kia Kima remained at this smaller sire until 1964. when Cherokee Village developer John Cooper offered the council a trade for an 860-acre sire on rhe South Fork River outside of his planned development. Kia Kima grew into its new property quickly, and the next year a second camp opened on its own lake across rhe river from the "Main Kamp," the original name for Camp Osage. The newer camp, Camp Cherokee, provided an outpost setting, while Main Kamp troops ate together in the dining hall. Since then , thousands of Scours have visited Kia Kima, and thousands more had camped at rhe original sire. To honor this accomplishm ent, the 25th anniversaries of rhe new camp and Camp Cherokee were celebrated in 1988 and 1989, and che 75rh anniversary of Kia Kima as a camp was marked in 1991. The staff has played a special pan in this hisrory , and today che burden for preserving camp cradicions lies mainly in che hands of sraff members. Like chose before you, you have chosen to serve a great camp, and rhis opporruniry is one of great pride. The staff has a strong tradition to maintain, and you can play a part in singing proudly cradicional songs like these: The Kia Kima Alma Mater High above rhe South Fork wacers, Reared agair: , r rhe sky, Proudly stands our dear old camp As che years go by. Onward, ever, be our watchwordConquer and prevail Here's to thee, old Kia Kima B.S.A. all hail.

Good luck, and I look forward to working with vou as we begin the next year of Scour camping at Kia Kirna. Yo urs in Scouring, Scott Stephens, Director Kia Kima Scout Reservation Chickasaw Council, BSA The Kia Kima Staff Manual• 3 - - --: ~ ·- ~- ---- - ~ :~~- .....__,,,, ::_:_,. ' ..:..... Purposes of Scouting Scouting ' s aims are essentially to build character traits of self-reliance, self-d isc ipline , sel fco nfidence , and sel f- respe ct : ro foster c itizenship; and to develop mental and physical fitn es s. Purpose of the Outdoor Program Scouring's program reaches its full effectiveness in the outdoors because- 1. The outdoors is the best place for learning outdoor skills. 2 . The outdoors is a great place for learning something about living with ochers. 3. Scours are rruly challenged in the outdoors , rhus developing leadership skills. 4 . The outdoors provide high adventure. 5. The outdoors fosters an awareness of the natural world and rhe need ro protect it. Purpose of Council Camp The purpose of the council summer camp is to serve institutions by providing facilities a nd leadership for training units in the outdoor program activities and Scout method of operation. The camp is the laboratory of Scouring, where the council camp leaders, the unit leaders, and the Scours work together to learn, in developing better units , qualified Scourers, and skillful, selfreliant boys and young men. Here a boy learns to live in a democracy by working in rhe patrol and troop . The camp should also be a practical demonstration area for the best conservation pracnces. Purpose of Camp Staff • To provide every camper with a wholesome and safe camping experience. •To help campers develop a keen awareness and appreciation for the great outdoors and to morivare them to assume rhe responsibility for living in harmony wirh nature. • To help fulfill rhe basic objectives of the Bo y Scours of America through personal examples. •To demonsrrare an enrhusiasric Scouring spirit and good leadership. •To exemplify rhe principles of rhe Scour Oath and the Scour Law. • To promote a spirit of genuine friendliness, undemanding of others , and cooperation. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 4 ... .,__; -- - Kia Kima ' s purpose is fulfilled rhrough irs program , a rerm which refers ro rhree main areas o f co nc e nrrarion: I. Skills instruction Sraff members instrucr campers in dozens of merir badges and rank advancement rowards rhe evenrual goal of Eagle Scour. As a parr of a program area, you will have rhe opportunity ro share knowledge and reach rhese lifelong skills . 2. Unit relations and support Much of the summer camp experience occurs righr in rhe troop site. Though st.. T involvement in this area varies according ro each troop, rhe unit counselor serves as rhe vital link in securing the needs of units in respect to camp equipment and resources, as well as providing answers and seeing rhar rhe unit rakes full advantage of rhe Kia Kima program. 3. Program enhancement Be s ides skills instruction and unit program, much of the magic of Boy Scour summer ca mp is provided by activities such as flag ceremonies, Songfest, opening and clos ing campfires, Vespers, and numerous orher afternoon, mealtime, and rwilighr .irnv1ries which enhance and add excitement to the learning atmosphere . The Boy Scour summer camp program 1s J rJrrne rship between the camp staff and the units which come to camp at Kia Kima. Onlv wh en rhese two work together-through pre-camp planning, Scoutmaster roundtables ar K1J K1 md , senior patrol leaders council meetings , and through the unit counselors-will rhe rr\lgra m succeed . Here is an in-depth study of each of the three areas: SKILLS INSTRUCTION With the exception of the equally im po rr Jn r co mmissary, dining hall , quartermaster, trading post, and office staffs, each m em f-,er of the Kia Kima staff is involved in skills instruction. The areas of skills instr ud : nn. c alled program areas , are headed by a manager or director, and the entire p rogr rn1 nt ea ch camp is coordinated by its Program Director. Each of these men will be wn rk 1 ng cl osely with you throughout the summer. The program areas offered by each ca mr .i:e Jquarics, ecology/conservation, handicraft , and Scouccrafr, while the two camps shJr c- ::-:c- \hoo ting sports and Project COPENenture areas. Whichever area you serve, knowledge, communications, and control are skills you muse possess to be a successful teacher. Here are \Orne guidelines for developing these skills: Knowledge & Preparing for Camp This skill is perhaps simplest . Well before vo u arrive at Kia Kima, you will know the program area in which you will instruct mern badges or skills. Before you arrive at camp, be sure char you nor only have learned rhe rop1c. bur rhar you can also reach and demonstrate it. If you feel uncornfonable about a ce rra1n skill, ask an adult leader or fellow staff The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 5 ' c member before you begin ro reach. You musr be thoroughly aware of rhe ropi c s o f ea c h requirement and confident rhar you will be able to answer questions your Scours mav ask. Be sure to get rhe merit badge pamphlets for rhe badges you will reach, study rhem , and bring rhem to camp. Just remember rhe Scour motto: Be Prepared . In addition, consider reading up on your area in outside sources, visiting local resour c es such as nature cente rs and outdoor equipment dealers, and in general developing a fir m grasp of yo ur ar e a. ~or only will yo u be berrer equipped to reach, you will probably develop imaginative ideas rhar exce ed simple knowledge-ideas on how ro make yo ur instruction area and its content more appealing, your discussions more invigorated . Consider props , demonstrations , hands-on activity. Remember, above all else, that Scou ts come to camp to escape what they experience in the typical classroom . Use the outdoor setting and rhe informality of camp ro add humor, action, constructive competition and gamesall the things which boys want bur do nor expect from learning activities. Before camp even starts, use your imagination to develop these ideas, because when you arrive at camp, rhe pace of work will be mind-boggling. The rime before camp allows your mind ro fill with dreams of the ideal merit badge course, and allows you time to tell your director what special resources (equipment , labor , rime) you ' ll need to implement your ideas. If it makes sense for your topic, consider our-of-class presentations and special events ro supplement your instruction, such as guest speakers (foresters, wildlife managers, water safety experts, Indian lore specialists) and extra hikes, trips, or activities which may be either optional or required . Communications Once you have the knowledge of the ropic s you will teach, it is even more important rhar you can communicate this knowledge to the group you will instruct. Simple things such as speaking clearly and without interruption are important. Also, keep in mind these proven techniques for teaching a skill: • Senses Remember that all learning rakes place through the use of the five senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting. The more of these senses you can bring into play through your instruction , the better rhe information will be learned. •Explain and Demonstrate Step-by-step, explain how a certain skill is done and what its purpose is, and then always demonstrate it yourself-the correct way. Make demonstrations realistic to show their practical uses. • Let the Scouts Try A chance to rry each step as it is demonstrated will fix it in rhe boy's mind and keep the session active. Always correct errors until the skill has been perfected. •Review Both just after and towards the end of the hour, review the skill by asking questions-not just restating rhe same explanation. Also, playing a game or quiz contest is another mind-provoking way to review and perfect skills. •Use Teaching Aids and Resources Make full use of pictures, signs, displays, and reprints on a display board, and use larger-than-life teaching aids to increase visual awareness and add fun. Make use of all books and teaching aids that are available. Let each Scout try to do it in a natural setting to show the reality of all of Scouting's skills. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 6 •Add Humor Exaggerating rhe wrong way to do something or other light hum o r v-.·d! liven your session . Be careful nor to ridicule any of the Scours, though. •Minimize Lectures and Written Examinations Borh go against the sp i m o f camping and remind Scours of the world they have escaped by coming to camp . Instead, stick to demonsrrarion and review wherever possible. • Leading a Discussion Some of the merit badges and skills offered at camp are berrer suited to discussion rather that pure demonsrrarion or lecture. Discussion leading is a n arr in itself. Here are a few hints ro guide you as the occasion for discussion arises: Control 1. Prepare for the discussion. Ler rhe whole group know the subject in advance so rhey can think abour ir. Talk with them individually ro discover their ideas . Have a written outline so you can develop a pattern of ideas to be covered, if possible. 2. Get the group to feel at ea se. Arrange rhe ·group comfortably in a circle or square, facing one another. Lead rhe group to a relaxing location. Encourage informality and good humor, and permit friendly disagreement when it concerns the point of discussion , nor personalities . . 3. Give everyone a chance to talk. Draw our less talkative Scours with direct questions or asking them for suggestions . If possible, call them by name . Discourage speech-makers by reminding rhem of the limited rime or by suggesting that they give others a chance. Call on people when they seem ready to talk. Direct rather than dominate the discussion by easing yourself into the background when the group gets the swing of ir. 4. Keep the discussion on track. If the discussion gets sidetracked, bring it back to the main line by suggesting more important topics . Stretch a point ro give individuals· credit for ideas developed in the discussion. There are no stupid questions: if a question is a bit off the mark, change it ro fir the topic; do nor simply say that someone is wrong . This will discourage participation. Lase, there is rhe skill of controlling the group . This skill is important in order to make your message last and to free it from unnecessary distractions. If you lose control of your group, they will undoubtedly learn very little. There are several basic operations involved in how a leader controls his group: • Never give an order you don' t mean to enforce. • Remember that the responses of a boy are in action. Give your commands to stimulate action, not co check ir. Say "do chis" rather than "don't do char." • Give a boy time for reaction. Say "one more dive and all out" rather than " all out, quick." •Give reasons when you ask a boy to do something-he can see the point if you do . •Be honest in what you say and do-a boy' s faith is your greatest help. • It is injustice and impersonality rhat cause a boy to rebel: treat everyone fairl y and as a person. You get in return what you give to chose in your charge. • Think faster than the boys: use your older age and experience. See rhe possibilities before they become results. • Remember that Scouring's ultimate goal is to produce leaders of a free society . Give Scouts as much freedom as you can, with your purpose being to guide rhem away from danger. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 7 [_ _ ___ _ • Include extra activities in case you run out of time Flexibilirv is another kev to a good lesson plan. Make sure rhar your overall scheme allows for ex.rra rime or c a s ~ s in which you run our of rime. • Review your plan and be open to adaptations Revise your plan as experience demands. Be willing ro include new ideas offered by fellow staff members and rhe Scours themselves. Consider asking rhe Scours to evaluate your performance in a written evaluation ar rhe end of rhe week, and consider their suggestions rhoughrfully. Consult rhe BSA publication Summer Camp Aferit Badge Program Outlines for suggested lesson plans which you can adapt for your own use. The Program Area Another key element of skills instruction is rhe place where it happens: the program area . The program area often contains rhe arch enemy of good merit badge sessions, rhe picnic table. The table is a good place to start off, to rake role, and introduce the day, bur beyond that, it can slowly destroy attention spans, as Scouts find the flat lumber sears more and more comfortable and are gradually glued to them, their minds lost in ennui. The program area should be a showcase to pique the interest of those who visir ir, and ir should conrain interesting displays, games and courses ro tesr skills, and Scouting and the practices ir encourages in near-perfect display. Nature rrails, an Indian village in miniature, pioneering projects set against a model campsire secluded in the woods, warer games-all can be a parr of rhe interesting program area. Use rhe rime before camp to dream up new ideas for your program area, new equipment, displays, games rhar could be added ro make ir a place for learning and fun. A program area full of opportunities for hands-on learning can be a good starting point for an ideal merir badge program. Record Keeping Also involved in the skills instruction process is sound record keeping. Unir leaders and Scours musr be able ro measure their advancement progress while ar camp, so rhe staff must ensure thar accurare records are kept. A sample class record sheet is shown in the appendix, and it is important to follow these pattern in your own sessions. Be sure to make your class roster on rhe first day and to record daily attendance. Absences should be reported to rhe Scoutmaster. Have the Scours learn and fill in your name in the appropriate blank. Good record keeping protects your inregrity as an insrrucror, bur if you are careless in keeping records, records also provide accountability. Be sure to turn in your rosrers to your manager or director at the close of each week. UNIT RELATIONS & SUPPORT Equally important as good reaching is maintaining a good and helpful relationship wirh rhe units which camp at Kia Kima. Indeed, these units, borh from within and ourside the Chickasaw Council, keep Kia Kima alive and well, and they are our customers. Like any endeavor, Kia Kima has customers which ir seeks ro please and serve, and these include Scours, leaders, parents, and anyone else who comes into contact with our camp. The Boy The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 9 •When a Scour defies your command, don't try to confront him. Instead , give ;i simple command which he can follow . •A leader will have no measure of success in directing the life of a child along rhe right path unless his personal example and habits are such rhar he leads by what he himself lives. Your personal example is rhe thing rhar determines results. Ser rhe pace in everything. Only if we ourselves follow rhe rules will others follow them. \Xiat ch your personal appearance. • Remember rhat staff is ultimately a job of service and responsibility, nor of personal gain. Especially when on lifeguard duty or in the ax yard, human life can rest in our hands . • Helping, nor abuse, is the answer for a trouble maker. Being a "big brother ," listening to the Scours ' problems can win you their friendship and admiration. Discipline Discipline of the Scout is the Scoutmasters job! All discipline matters are to be referred to rhe Scoutmaster to handle in his own troop, in his own way. (Please keep in mind that throughout rhe Kia Kima StajfAfanual, "Scoutmaster" refers to the adult leader in charge of rhe unit for the week.) Our real objective should be ro help the individual make good. If you are forced to ask a Scour to leave your session after exhausting all other means, always follow up afterwards by visirin£ with rhe boy's Scoutmaster and explaining rhe problem. Hazing-defined as any for : of physical conract-is against Scouring policy and the law. Remember the Scour Oarh and Law in all relationships in the camp . Here again, it is important to remember rhar rhe Kia Kima program centers on cooperation between staff and the unit. In addition . always tell your director of any persisrenr problems with individuals or groups of Sco urs. [r ' s a good idea, too, to have another staff member accompany you when you go to ralk to the Scoutmaster, especially one who was present during the problem incident. Th is rw o -deep rule helps ensure you report things accurately and that your story isn't called 1nro question. Lesson Plans Planning is one of the most basic elements of skills instruction. Every rime you seep before a group of Scouts in teaching meri r badges and skills, you should have constructed beforehand a lesson plan. Here are the elements of a good lesson plan: • Plan for the entire week first Consider the specific requirements and break them up over five days to create a balanced mix which allows for review and attention to relationships among requirements. •State your objectives for the hour Srate which specific requirements or pares of requirements you will try to complete Be realistic: try to choose activities which will require 45-50 minutes and which conswute a good mix of demonstrations, explanations, discussions, activities, and contests. Also . r rv to mix topics so that your lessons naturally review each other and do not get too repemive . • List each activity List and describe each activiry or exercise which will meet your objectives. Once again, try to focus on a realistic and balanced approach. • List the resources needed for the activities List whatever equipment, supplies, or facilities you will need for your daily plan, and check before you start to make sure you're prepared. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 8 Unit Check-in Procedures for the Unit Counselor 1. Arrival: The troop should arnve in camp between 1 :00 and 3:00 p.m. The gare personnel will direct the unit to its CC, who will be waiting at the entrance of the main parking lot . The lJC should greet the leader warmly (he says "Welcome to Kia Kima!" before doing anything else) and introduce himself. lJnir leaders should clear with rhe business manager in the Administration Building on arrival, rhen speak with rhe Program Director of their camp to check programming for their Scours. 2. Go ro Sire: Escort rhe troop to irs assigned sire and allow the Scours to unload their personal equipment. The Scours and leaders should change for rhe swim check and prepare for rhe tour of camp and medical recheck. If the unit is new, be sure to explain to rhe leader the basic pam of rhe camp program. 3. Equipment issue: Ar some point, find our what the troop needs to check our from the Troop Issue Quartermaster, and help the unit get these supplies . 4. Medical Recheck: You should escort your unit to rhe Nature Lodge (Camp Cherokee) or the Hospital (Camp Osage) to have their medical forms checked by the health personnel. 5.

The Kia Kima Staff Manual • I I Scour summer camp program depends on cooperation and collaboration between the unit and the camp staff ro produce rhe finest , most appealing program possible. In a wav , t h e adult leaders who accompany each troop fulfill a role nor unlike that of a staff me mbe r. helping develop the unit program and providing for che support and supervision of eve nr Scour who attends Kia Kima. Customer Service Just like any business , Kia Kima strives ro fulfill and exceed rh e expe ctatio ns of its campers, their leaders, and an yone else who enjoys Kia Kima 's program and resources . We must always strive to listen to the suggestions , problems , and compliments and strive ro see char questions are answered and needs fulfilled . Never should our customers see us wirhour a smile, pass us without a friendly greeting, hear rheir problems without following through. Ir ' s all a part of making the people who camp ac Kia Kima feel that they share in what ic has co offer , free of problems and shortages and unfulfilled promises. Ir all begins with a warm " Welcome ro Kia Kima!" on Sunday and ends with the success of another week of summer camp. You, the staff member , are in a crucial position to exceed the expectations leaders and Scouts bring with them to Kia Kima. That extra effort at preparing ro instruct in a merit badge, that extra daily visit to your troop's site-in che end, it' s rhe liccle things chat count . The Unit Counselor (UC) The unit counselor is the direct represenrar1ve o f rhe camp to the unit. He sees that the unit is checked-in and properly oriented ro rh e Kia Kima program, secures any equipment that the troop needs, and ears with che rr oo p d uring mealtimes. The UC should become personally acquainted with che adult lead ers and visit che troop rwo co three rimes daily to see if the unit needs anything. As well , the LC should take personal interest in the unit by seeing chat it attends flag ceremonies and ot her program activities on time and ch a r che Scours are aware of the opportunities a va il a ble co chem. He, above all, should sec the example in uniform, appearance , and arnon. and in all ways be helpful and take action if any need should arise. If the UC cann o t samfv a need himself, he should see to it char che Program Director or Assistant Progr am D1 rector knows of che problem, and still he should follow up ro see char it is solved . T he L"C should also deliver mail and keep the troop aware of any changes in the program sc hedule. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • I 0 •' Unit Relations Beyond the Unit Counselor Position Ir is equally important ro be helpful a nd cooperative in dealing with adult leaders eve n outside the UC relationship , for rhey are rendering much rhe same service as the staff in the camp program. If a Scourer wishes to observe an instructional session , be cooperative and even use his expertise . When earing with a troop , get to know the leaders and rhank them for their hospitality. Staff-adult leader relations are a key in getting troops to return year afr e r vear . Your arrirude greatl y affects their opinion of rhe camp and helps to build the relari;nship o f unit and staff leadership which is at the core of Scour summer camp . YOUTH PROTECTION The Chickasaw Council, in keeping with rhe national Scouring crusade against child abuse , recognizes the potential for child abuse and its prevention at Kia Kima Scour Reservation . As all leaders, including camp staff members, are to be instructed in recognizing this problem, it is important rhar the staff be aware of the problem and its signs. Overview of Problem Child abuse consists of a wide variery of different problems, with about 2 million reported cases each year . Csually it is categorized as physical abuse , emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Physical abuse is the injury of a child by other than accidental means. Emotional abuse is the constant belittling, criticizing, yelling at , and verbal tearing down of rhe child. Sexual abuse is any sexual activity berween a child and an adult, or sexual acriviry involving children in which the age, size, or other power factors berween the participants is unequal r:hild neglect is failure to provide necessary nurturing when resources are available to a . )o . Adolescents, as well as young children , are equally susceptible to all forms of abuse . Scour camp leaders may come upon child abuse in several ways. One of the more common ways will be the camper or staff member ( under age 18), who, in the course of rhe precamp physical, is found to have physical signs of abuse which occurred prior to arrival at camp. The child may disclose abuse rhar happened prior to arrival at camp. The child may complain of pain or wear inappropriate clothing to cover burns and bruises. Children who are emotionally abused may be depressed or have low self-esteem. The most consistent indicator of sexual abuse is developmentally inappropriate sexual activity, as well as sleep disorders or depression . Neglect is characterized by inadequate clothing or consistent hunger. Unfortunately, some of rhe volunteer leaders that accompany the unit ro camp may be responsible for abuse, as may other Scouts or a member of the camp staff Whatever the circumstances, when abuse is suspected, action is indicated. Remember the Three R's of Youth Protection : 1. Recognize strategies and situations used by child molesters that place you at risk. Remember, a child molester can be anyone. 2. Resist attempts of child molesters since few resort to force. Resistance will stop most attempts at molestation. 3. Repon individuals who attempt to molest you to your Program Director or rhe Reservation Director. This helps protect young people and provides an opporruniry for the molester to get help. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 12 l Camp Policies Scour camps must be governed by rhe Scouring principles embod ied in rhe Scour Oath and Law . Any disciplinary technique or program aspect not con fo rmin g: with these principles is prohibited. • To rhe extent possible, isolated one-on-one activities berween adult and child should be discouraged in favor of patrol or group activities . • The Reservation Director is to be informed of any situation in which a camper has be en so d isruptive or behaves in other ways that require strong disciplinary measures . C orp o ral punishment should nor be used. • Scours will be properly clothed for the activities in which they are participating. ).; udiry is appropriate only in the showers- "skinny-dipping" is nor appropriate. • Initiations involving any form of physical hazing are prohibited. • Staff members who suspect abuse in a unit should contact their Program Director or the Reservation Director as soon as possible. • Suspected child abuse of any form will be reported ro the authorities and, if substantiated, the council will cooperate in the prosecution of the offender. These guidelines also help to protect the leaders of the camp from unwanted accusations of child abuse . Rarely, adults may be accused of child abuse that did not happen. BSA camps need to have policies that protect their leaders from these allegations. It is possible to provide that protection and continue to offer a qualiry program to the units within the council. All staff members must have certified tr a ining in the Youth Protection policies and guidelines of the Boy Scouts of America. Thi s training will occur during staff week prior to rhe opening of camp . Please consult the materials available in connection with this training for more information on chis virallv important subject. PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT Besides skills instruction and unit ac riv1t1es. Kia Kima allows Scouts numerous other opportunities for adventure. However , the1 r su ccess depends in large part on the role of the staff. Puncrualiry and spirit are required for qualiry activities. Be sure co become aware of the important rimes on the camp schedules shown in the appendix. Daily activities include flag raising, breakfast . lunch, supper, and flag lowering. As well, staff members will be assigned Twilight Acri vi ties to lead, such as Songfests, volleyball, rwilighc boating, and canoe float trips. L' n i r counselors will be responsible for escorting their troops co campfires and Vespers , as well as helping out with other unit programs . Scaff members who are members of rhe Order of rhe Arrow will also have the opporruniry to be a pare of the Brotherhood Ceremon:v and Fellowship each Thursday night. As well, staff members will be granted rime-off during week nights on which they have no assigned duties, as directed by the Program Director. They must clear with the Program Director before leaving the reservation . The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 13 --;;-- - . The following are job specificarions for each position on the Kia Kima staff. As well, a n org aniZJt io nal chart is found in rhe append ix and serves as a " map " of rhe Kia Kima staff. B;t h a re i n cl ud ed so that you will know your place on rhe staff and realize rhe funcrion of ea ch sraff member. These duries, however, do nor include rhose which your area manager or Program Direcror may assign ro you ar any rime, nor do rhey include unir coun selor o r Twilight Activities assignments . One of rhe fundamental principles of staff organi-zarion is the chain of leadership . Whatever role you play at Kia Ki ma, you are in a position of leadership. When a quesrion or problem exceeds your area of leadership, rhar is, if you need help dealing with something , always look to rhe next level of leadership . For instance, if you encounter as a ecology/conservation staff member encounrer a problem in your program area, always first go to the area manager, who if necessary will go the assistant program director, and so on. Paying attention to this chain ofleadership helps ensure that camp runs smoothly and that problems and questions reach rhe proper solution.

The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 20 Meals Earing properly is essential in performing your duties with a high degree of efficiency, so staff members must be present at all meals. As well, the staff should appear on time and properly dressed, as again, we set the example in this highly visible location. Proper table manners, food distribution, and courtesy are marks of a mature staff and are expected always. Yells, songs , and the like should be given after the meal under the direction of the Program Director in the dining hall at Camp Osage. Punctuality As a staff member, you are expected to be in attendance and on rime at all activities in which the staff is involved, as well as to instructional sessions. There is no reason for lateness in activities given basic planning, and illnesses should be reported to the doctor or Health Officer immediately. Religious Services Remember the twelfth point of the Scout Law. Staff members are strongly urged to attend Vespers services each week and to provide grace before meals . Staff Center The staff facility is to be maintained according to a daily cleaning schedule, for both the bathroom and the meeting room portions. 'When using the laundry equipment, staff members should be careful not to disrurb others' clothes and should keep the area clean. Staff members are expected to live up to their assignments and to respect rhe fact that the facility is for the whole staff when they use it. Telephone Because of its isolated location , Kia Kima is extremely limited in phone lines. For this reason, and because camp provides an opportunity to escape such modern devices, telephone use by staff members should be limited to a few calls a week. The phone for use by staff members is locared near rhe back door of the Administration Building. If more than one staff member 1s 1n line, phone calls will be limited to five minutes, and if a troop leader needs ro use rhe phone , staff should defer the phone to them. Time-off and Leaving Camp During rhe period of employment, the staff member 's full rime is at the disposal of the Reservar1on Director. Camp staff members will receive one night off per week at which thev mav leave the reservation after program responsibilities have been completed , and afrer the work is completely finished on Saturdays, the remaining afternoon and even 1 ng will be granted off, at the discretion of the Reservation Director. As well, each staff member serving the entire season will be given one weekend off, on which he may rerurn home at the completion of his paper work on Friday afternoon. In all cases, the entire sraff should be back on the reservation by 11:00 a .m. Sunday for the opening lunch of the week . At all other times, staff members are nor to leave the reservation without the consent of their Program Director or the Reservation Director. Time-off privileges are under rhe complete authority of the Program Directors and Reservation Director and may be suspended as necessary. Staff members should be aware that they represent Kia Kima, the Chickasaw Council, and Scouting when they leave the reservation, and should conduct themselves in accordance with the Scout Oath and Law. Tobacco Products The use of tobacco by those staff members under age 18 is prohibited in accordance with Arkansas state law and thus serves as grounds for dismissal. This ban includes smoking, dipping, and chewing . Adult staff members, 18 years or older, who must use tobacco may do so only in the staff area or staff centeL Uniforming Staff members must follow the uniform code at all times. The staff uniform falls into three classes: The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 23 STAFF POLICIES & REGULATIONS Administration Building The John Cooper Administration Building is principally for the use of leaders and the camp's directors. Therefore, staff members should nor loiter there and should only visit for specific reasons such as meetings and phone calls. Alcohol & Drugs The use, possession, or sale of alcoholic beverages, or of nonprescribed or illegal drugs is not a part of camp staff life and is strictly prohibited on Scout reservations and in Fulton Counry, Arkansas . We set rhe example for borh campers and other staff. Violation of this ban provides grounds for immediate dismissal. Automobiles All staff members under age 18 must follow their parents' specific · instructions in order to drive their own cars or to ride in the cars of designated staff members. When leaving the reservation, it is understood char staff members will ride only with those drivers indicated on the card.

Lending vehicles to other staff members is highly discouraged and nor condoned by the camp administration. Flag Ceremonies Here again , the staff sets the example of respect and attention. Correct uniform should be worn, and presence and puncrualiry is a necessiry. Living Quarters Adequate living quarters are provided for each staff member. It is expected char they will be kept in a reasonably clean, livable, pest-free condition. You will be issued a bed and mattress and should supply all remaining items yourself. You will be responsible for damage to, or defacement of living quarters. The Reservation Director and your Program Director will handle check-in and check-out procedures. Please note the following conditions: • After 11 :00 p.m. each night, all lights and audible music should be turned off, and quiet should be observed. • If you do not use headphones, keep all music to a reasonable level. • Be sensible and conserve electricity; keep electrical appliances and che like to a minimum, and share with other staff members. • All furnirure and equipment must be approved by the Program Director. • There should be no large or bright signs outside tents. • Any change in tent arrangements must be approved by your Program Director. • No campers are allowed in che scaff area or staff center, and use discretion when bringing your parents into the area. • No flames are allowed in or near staff rents . • Litter shall not accumulate in or surrounding the staff area. • It is imperative that each staff member stay our of ochers' personal belongings and quaners without permission. Manners, Language, Grooming, & Personal Appearance The manners and language of the staff when in the presence of campers or leaders should be impeccable . Hair is to be kept neat and trimmed, and only those wich beards at the opening of camp should retain chem through the summer. Again, set the example. Earrings and ocher ostentatious jewelry is not allowed. In all cases, your personal appearance is completely under the authority of your Program Director. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 22 .".- ,.. . . ; .. , ORDER OF THE ARROW In 1915 rhe Order of rhe Arrow was founded ac a Scour summer camp near Philadelphia , in many ways similar to Kia Kima, by rwo camp staff members who wanred co create a way for Scours whose camping skills and adherence ro rhe Scout Oath and Law were worrhy of recognition . Today the Order sci!! has camp and honoring campers at rhe heart of its purpose. Therefore ic is only right rhac camp staff members should be the ideal Arrowmen, and as a camp staff member activeness in the Order's program is a great way ro go above and beyond your immediate responsibilities. Ac Kia Kima, che Chickasah Lodge of rhe Order of che Arrow is an integral part of the summer camp. Often, its officers and committee members serve on the staff. The Lodge sponsors rhe Kia Kima leaders' orientation dinner and the summer camp brochure mailed to every Scour in the Chickasaw Council. Arrowmen conduct camp promotion and unit election visits to council troops, and the Lodge's key officers serve on the Kia Kima Advisory Board to help in the continuous upgrading of the camp program. The Lodge schedules service weekends at the camp co set up and cake down . During che camping season, camp staff Arrowmen conduct srill more elections, provide the Brotherhood Ceremony for qualified members, sponso r a weekly fellowship for members, and stage a call-our ceremony to honor chose campers ele ct ed as candidates for membership in rhe Order. If you wane participate in the Order of the Arrow's activities before and during camp, you will have the opportunity when a lodge officer presents rhe chance at a staff meeting. Ir's a great way to fulfill the Obligation and to serve as an ideal staff member. CAMP STAFF EXPLORER POST Any camp staff member may join rhe Kia Ki ma staff Explorer post. The post is a Scouring unit which seeks to promore Kia Ki ma , ro find new ways to improve staff services and the camp program, to maintain Kia K1ma traditions, to increase rhe personal bonds among the staff, and co have fun. Anyone who is interested in joining rhe posr will have chat opportunity during the camp season. You may still remain an active member in your troop while in the post. STAFF ACTIVITY After each camping season, staff members who have performed at the highest levels of dedication, hard work, and customer satisfaction receive an invitation co attend the allexpense paid staff activity. The weekend activity is a great chance to spend time with staff members before returning to the "real world.

Some Other Helpful Rules • If you don't know, or aren't sure, ask . • If it's noc yours, don't "borrow," move , or otherwise mess with it. • Sometimes the mosc important rules are the unwrirren ones, so always listen. Ignorance is nor an excuse. The Kia Kima Staff Manual • 24 r KIA KIMA HISTORY & TRADITION Kia Kima's history dares to 1916, when rhe first Scours from rhe newly formed Chickasaw Council camped on the Spring River in present day Cherokee Village . From that point , rhe camp grew rapidly, and Scours rode rhe train from Memphis to Hardy each weekend and hiked rhe remaining distance ro reach the "kamp," as it was called. Narural stone buildings mark the sire , and Scours were assigned to stone lodges where they spent days playing rield sports, on the tennis courts, at the waterfront on the river, and in countless other acriviries. As well, rhe Chickasah Lodge held its first Order of the Arrow ceremonies at the old camp . Kia Kima remained at this smaller sire until 1964. when Cherokee Village developer John Cooper offered the council a trade for an 860-acre sire on rhe South Fork River outside of his planned development. Kia Kima grew into its new property quickly, and the next year a second camp opened on its own lake across rhe river from the "Main Kamp," the original name for Camp Osage. The newer camp, Camp Cherokee, provided an outpost setting, while Main Kamp troops ate together in the dining hall. Since then , thousands of Scours have visited Kia Kima, and thousands more had camped at rhe original sire. To honor this accomplishment, the 25th anniversaries of rhe new camp and Camp Cherokee were celebrated in 1988 and 1989, and che 75rh anniversary of Kia Kima as a camp was marked in 1991. The staff has played a special pan in this hisrory , and today che burden for preserving camp cradicions lies mainly in che hands of sraff members. Like chose before you, you have chosen to serve a great camp, and rhis opporruniry is one of great pride. The staff has a strong tradition to maintain, and you can play a part in singing proudly cradicional songs like these: The Kia Kima Alma Mater High above rhe South Fork wacers, Reared agair : , r rhe sky, Proudly stands our dear old camp As che years go by. Onward, ever , be our watchwordConquer and prevail Here's to thee, old Kia Kima B.S.A. all hail. Written at Kia Kima, Summer, 1926 It's a Long Way to Kia Kima Ir's a long way to Kia Kima, Ir's a long way to go . Ir's a long way to Kia Kima, Where che husky Boy Scouts go. Good-bye, dear old Memphis; Farewell, old Court Square. Ir's a long, long way to Kia Kima, Bue my heart' s right there.

Chickasow Council, BSA �PROTECTIVE MEASURES Protective Measures in Lightning Storms & Tornadoes In iightning storms and tornado conditions for activities on land, leaders and staff will ensure that Scouts remain clear of hazardous areas such as trees, poies, buildings, and shelters and seek safer and lower quarters such as low gullies not threatened by rising water. Staff and unit leaders will work together to report and remove hazardous limbs or structures which threaten injury in storms or tomado conditions. Child Abuse Child abuse is a crime against youth. Child abuse can involve the mental, physical, and sexual victimization of children. Most camp staff and unit leaders are not ffained to make iudgments about whether a child has been a victim of any kind of child abuse. The Boy Scouts of America has made it a policy that the Scout executive of each council as well as key members of the professional and volunteer staff become familar with child abuse and its various manifestations. It is the responsibility of the Scout executive to identify the reporting requirements in the states in which the council operates and to establish the council's reporting policy accordingly. Any suspected incident of child abuse must be reported immediately to the Reservation Director, or in his absence, to the camp Program Director. It is the responsibility of the camp's leaders, including unit leaders and camp staff member, to report any instance of suspected child abuse. The directors will discuss your suspicions with you and possibly talk to the child. In most states, persons with knowledge of suspected child ibuse are required to report the case to the child protective servic-es agency. Failure to report may carry criminal penalties. All states provide immunity from prosecution for reporting suspected child abuse in good faith. The Reservation Director will be able to expiain these responsibilities to you. The responsibility of the Reservation Director is to refer the matter to the Scout Executive, who has established contacts with appropriate authorities. Detecting Sexual Molestation. Some forms of abuse may not leave obvious physical evidence. There are, however, behavioral signs that may indicate abuse. ffris is especially true of children who have been sexually molested. You should be alert to these signs of sexual abuse: changes in behavior, exkeme mood swings, withdrawal, fearfulness, and excessive crying; bed-wetting, nighfnares, fear of going to bed, or other sleep dishrbances; inappropriate sexual activity or showing an unusuil interest in sexual matters; regression to infanhle behavior; pain, itching, or rawness in the private areas (These problems should be attended to by a physician or nurse.); a fear oi certain places, people, or activities-especially being alone with certain people. Camp ei �''t You should note that some of the behaviors may have other explanations. A child who comes to summer camp or other outdoor activity is coming to an unfamiliar environment and may experience homesickness or anxieties that can lead to behaviors similar to the signs of sexual molestation. Do not simply discount the behavior as homesickness, however. Immediately bring it to the attention of the Reservation Director or medical officer. Even if the child's behavior is a result of homesickness, his outdoor experience can be much more enioyable if the cause of the dishess is addressed. You are in a position to be a real help to youth placed in your care. What to Do. At some point, a youth in your care may tell you that someone has molested him. If this happens, we want you to be prepared to help the child. Follow these guidelines if a child indicates that he or she may have been the victim of abuse or exploitation: don't panic or overreact to the information disclosed by the child; don't cib,cize the child; do respect the child's privacy. Take the child to the camp office, away from other Scouts. It is important that you discuss the problem only with the Reservation Director and medical personnel, who will discuss the situation with the Scout executive and the state child protective services agency. It should not become the topic of conversation in the staff center. Camp is a hard place to keep information confidential. Your Scouts should not become the subiect of camp gossip. Do make sure that the child feels that he is not to blame about what happened. Tell the child that no one should ask him to keep a special secret and that it is OK to talk about what happened with appropriate adults. Try to avoid repeated interviews about this incident. This can be very stressful for the child. Precautions Against Accusations of Sexual Abuse or Exploitation. Child abuse is a serious criminal offense. As a camp leader with the responsibility for caring for children, you may be placed in sensitive sifuations making you vulnerable to charges of child molestation. If you take these simple precautions, however r f ot need not be afraid of groundless accusations. Have other leaders present when supervising showers, changing into swimming suits, and other circumstances in which the child may be dressing or undressing. Respect the privacy of the child; do not become intrusive in such areas as bodily functions more than is necessary to monitor the health and safety of the child. The child has the right to reject displays of affection if he feels uncomfortable about them; not every child comes from a background in which affection is openly displayed. Respect the child's wishes. Protect your own privacy. You should use corunon sense in discussing matters of personal relationships and such subiects, and keep private the details of those areas of your life that are nobody's business but your owrr. Sexual exploitation should not be confused with physical contacts that are true expressions of ffiction. A warm and healthy relationship cnn exist between the camper and leaders if the leaders respect the child and place reasonable limits on their physicnl interaction.

In early I:iarch, t.hey cleared out a ten mile trek, most of which is followed by compass. The trail provides Scouts with an informative, scenic and rugged tour over every type of terrain on camp property. ~·fany points of interest are found along the trail and a pano­ ramic view of camp may be seen from a lBO-ft. cliff along the South Fork River. The trail also provides Scouts with the opportunity to exercise skills such as compass reading and tree identification. Many skill award requirements, as'well as parts of 6everal merit badges, may be passed while hiking. The trail opened in June of 1971 with the beginning of summer CMdp. ~a.tbQ~ are tA~ee treekiR~ ~its f9r ebse~ift9 the prescerree of litany --.types of ~ilEllife which are ]7e~y aJ::nlftdMl't in this aXQQ. Several hundred Scouts have hiked the trail and received thejard and patch available upon completion of the trail. ~ -L-L&:A..,......;r ~ ~,L . • , At this location, Spanish moss is found hanqing from the trees. This is the only place in northeast Arkansas that Spanish moss can be found. 8. Looking d~ln from the bluff, you should notice trees that have been cut by beavers. Also as you look across the river you get a good view of Kia Kima. At this point, you are 150 feet above the river. ~ 9. Observe the hand hewn logs to the right of the cabin. Also sunken holes found behind the house were probably cisterna or storage cellars. 10. These two clearings were once probably gardens. A hoe was found nearby which was probably used to chop cotton. 11. This old homestead site was probably a three room cabin with a porch. Although most of the roads in the area at this time were used to haUl railroad ties, the remains of a Model-T Ford are found here. The cabin burned about 1935. 12. You should notice another rock wall on your left. This wall was also used to fence off a field. 13. Here you find an old wagon rim used about 70 years ago. 14. An old gravesite is located here. Notice how just a plain stone was used to mark the grave. 15. At this point, you will observe that two stone fences line both sides of the road lining two old fields. 7. c~dar �19. On the west side of the clearing there is a stream r~~ning south. Cross this stream and follml the trail going downstream. The stream trail ends when you reach a road. 20. Follow the road south and you will return to the cabinand the spring. Continue on the road until you reach a small clearing by the river ];nown as Copperhead Point. At this Point take a compass bearing from the' large marked tree, proceed up the hill, and follow the trail easterly along the bluff. 21. Follow the trail as it turns in a northeasterly direction and winds down the hill until you come to a compass bearing Harker. 22. Follow the compass bearing through the woodS and across a creek bed until you come to an open meadow. Cross this meadow and continue to follow the compass bearings as listed. The final compass bearing leads you back to the low water bridge at Ramp. POINTS OF INTEREST 1. This rock wall was a boundary_for a garden ar a small field. Rock walls were often used for property lines and also for ridding the fields of rocks. 2. This old cabin was probably one of the first homesteading sites in the area. Notice the hand hewn logs. 3. The broken caterpillar tracks came off of a bolldozer used for building John A. Cooper Lake. 4. This is the location of an old house which was surrounded by a rock wall in its day. llhat was probably a porch foundation and an entrance road to the cabin is still visible. 5. This is an old saw used to cut railroad ties. The patent date on the sawblade is June, 1902. 6. This is the largest natural SF ing on the reservation. THE KIA KUlA STORY The first president of the Chickasaw Council, Bolton Smith, acquired the original Kia Kima in 1916. For many years the 150­ acre camp located in the South Fork River near Hardy was con­ sidered to be among the best in the nation. Since 1916 more than 60,000 boys from the t-lernphis area have camped here. Attendance grew to the extent that 150 acres could not provide adequate campsites and program facilities. Outpost camps were used to alleviate crowded conditions. One of the first in the area, Kia Kima _attracted other ca"Ups and was instrumental in the development of central Arkansas. Scouting at Kia Kima played "a prominent role in the formation of Cherokee Village, a retirement community located adjacent to the camp. It started in 1946, when John A. Cooper, a lwest Memphis businessman, purchased a tract of land there after making several trips to bring his children to the Scout Camp. In the years that followed Kia Kima and the village grew in popularity. In the true Scout spirit John Cooper helped the camp overcome many of its problems by providing such facilities as a water supply line, a rifle range, a septic field, and numerous other services. Since Kia Kima could not take care of the Council's camp­ ing needs, officials set out to provide the accomodations for the future of the rapidly growing membership. A special committee searched for suitable sites near the Memphis area. �Near the end of 1963 John Cooper offered to provide a new camp for Chickasaw council in, the same general area in exchange for the old Kia Kirna property. The new area, located farther up the river and approximately nine miles fran Hardy, consists of 540 acres. In the offer, Cherokee Village agreed to build a new dining hall, install a water system, erect campsites, provide a lake, a road net­ work, toconstruct a number of buildings, and to make other improve­ ments. The new location was to include all the facilities essential for an ideal camp to accamodate a minimum of 300 boys per week. Officials of Chickasaw Council were elated about the exchange. Late in January, 1964, the Council Executive Board authorized the transaction, and work was started to make the new camp ready for uzc that summer. The first week of camp began on June 14. During each summer's camping period, approximately 2,400 Scouts and Explorers participate in a Scouting experience they enjoy and remember for many years. Even before it opened, the new camp was enlarged. Several months before opening 140 acres of additional property on the north and west became available and the tract was purchased. Since 1964, Kia Kirna has acquired additional land to bring the total area to about 1,000 acres and a capacity of 600 boys per week. A new lake was ready for use in the summer of 1965 in addition to Camp Cherokee, which became the outpost camp. The 45 acre lake enables Kia Kima to of.fer an excellent acquatic program at both camps. The present camp also includes an administration building, a small hospital, and cabins, all at the main camp. 7. Cross the approaching creek and head for the top of the hill, following the markers. 8. Bear right and follow the crest of the ridge south. As you enter the cedar grove, bear more to the right and parallel to the edge of the bluff (7). 9. Continue along the top of the bluff until you reach the lookout point (8). No compass bearing is taken here, however there is a double marker to indicate the lookout point. 10. Return to the trail and follow it until you reach an old house site and barb-wire fence (9). 11. Foll~l the fence line east. Since Kia Kirna does not own the prop­ erty past this fence, do not cross this fence. 12. At the end of the fence line you will dIscover an old road. Con­ tinue along it in an easterly direction across a dry creek bed (10). 13. Farther up the road you will 'discover an old homestead on the left. Just above the site you will take the road to the right (11). 14. Along this road you will pass a cedar grove and come upon a fenced field. Turn left and follow an old logging road. Continue along a fence line until markers bear to the left. The trail will come out along the road heading north. Follow this road and you will notice another rock fence. (12,13,14,15) 15. Continue on this northerly road until you carne upon a fence across the road. Follow the fence to the left, always keeping the fence on the right. Soon the fence turns back to the right, continue following it until you return to the road. Follow the road until it turns 45 0 to the right. At this point turn 45 0 to the left and follow the marker dOYln a gully and up the other side. 16. continued to I'Note- page. �-', ..DIRECTIONS ---", 1. The trail begins a few hundred ft. north of the bridge on the west side of the road. At this point go up the hill until you see the first compass reading. Continue following bearings until you reach U7. 2. After ,following #17 for about 30 ft. you llill come upon an old road marked with a double marker. Turn left and follow this road until you reach the broken Caterpillar tractor(point of interest#3) Your next compass bearing is taken from here. 3. After following *24 you will, come upon an old parking lot. Branching off to the left you will find a road going down-hill. Do not take a compass bearing, but follow the road to the left down-hill until you reach another double marker. From here con­ tinue following compass bearings until #26. 4. Follow compass bearing #26 for several hundred ft. until you reach an old homesite (point of interest #4) and follow the old trail. Continue following markers for about 700 ft. until the trail branches to the left and right. Take the trail to the right for about 300 ft. and turn left on the remains of an old logging road lined with rocks. Follow this forabout 100 ft. where the next compass bearing should be taken. 5. You will find the remains of a sawmill approximately 150 ft. from bearing #32. The next bearing should be taken from the north­ east corner of the sawmill foundation. Continue for 750 ft. until you come to a spring by a cabin. For the next several miles the=e will be no compass bearing. 6. Follow the spring water down the hill fram the trough until you come to a creek. Cross the stream and follow the markers for about 25 ft. up the hill where you will turn right and follow a southerly course parallel to the creek. ... - .. HISTORY OF TIlE HARDY AREA The Kia Kima area is surrounded by interesting heritage. Prior to l88fihis area was used as hunting grounds by the Osage Indians. The Cherokee Indians passed through this area on their Trail of Tears between 1832 and 1837. After the Indians moved to their Oklahoma Territory, this area was opened for homesteading and was populated by subsistance farmers. They raised only enough food to feed their own families and made money by hewing railroad ties and hauling them into Hardy to be sold at the railroad tie center. These farmers also raised cotton to make their own clothes. Most of the land was cleared by homesteaders at the turn of the century and there is a notable lack of old large trees in the area. Soon after 1890 mechanization of the production of railroad ties drove the homesteaders from their means of profit. Even today Hardy is a large railroad tie center with the farmers raising livestock as their cheif source of income. �REQUIRm1ENTS THAT CAN BE PASSED ON THE HA'KYA TRAIL SKILL A~IARDS Hikin~ 2.

In early I:iarch, t.hey cleared out a ten mile trek, most of which is followed by compass. The trail provides Scouts with an informative, scenic and rugged tour over every type of terrain on camp property. ~·fany points of interest are found along the trail and a panoramic view of camp may be seen from a lBO-ft. cliff along the South Fork River. The trail also provides Scouts with the opportunity to exercise skills such as compass reading and tree identification. Many skill award requirements, as'well as parts of 6everal merit badges, may be passed while hiking. The trail opened in June of 1971 with the beginning of summer CMdp. ~a.tbQ~ are tA~ee treekiR~ ~its f9r ebse~ift9 the prescerree of litany --.types of ~ilEllife which are ]7e~y aJ::nlftdMl't in this aXQQ. Several hundred Scouts have hiked the trail and received thejard and patch available upon completion of the trail. ~ -L-L&:A..,......;r~ ~,L. • , 7. At this location, Spanish moss is found hanqing from the c~dar trees. This is the only place in northeast Arkansas that Spanish moss can be found. 8. Looking d~ln from the bluff, you should notice trees that have been cut by beavers. Also as you look across the river you get a good view of Kia Kima. At this point, you are 150 feet above the river. ~ 9. Observe the hand hewn logs to the right of the cabin. Also sunken holes found behind the house were probably cisterna or storage cellars. 10. These two clearings were once probably gardens. A hoe was found nearby which was probably used to chop cotton. 11. This old homestead site was probably a three room cabin with a porch. Although most of the roads in the area at this time were used to haUl railroad ties, the remains of a Model-T Ford are found here. The cabin burned about 1935. 12. You should notice another rock wall on your left. This wall was also used to fence off a field. 13. Here you find an old wagon rim used about 70 years ago. 14. An old gravesite is located here. Notice how just a plain stone was used to mark the grave. 15. At this point, you will observe that two stone fences line both sides of the road lining two old fields. 19. On the west side of the clearing there is a stream r~~ning south. Cross this stream and follml the trail going downstream. The stream trail ends when you reach a road. 20. Follow the road south and you will return to the cabinand the spring. Continue on the road until you reach a small clearing by the river ];nown as Copperhead Point. At this Point take a compass bearing from the' large marked tree, proceed up the hill, and follow the trail easterly along the bluff. 21. Follow the trail as it turns in a northeasterly direction and winds down the hill until you come to a compass bearing Harker. 22. Follow the compass bearing through the woodS and across a creek bed until you come to an open meadow. Cross this meadow and continue to follow the compass bearings as listed. The final compass bearing leads you back to the low water bridge at Ramp. POINTS OF INTEREST 1. This rock wall was a boundary_for a garden ar a small field. Rock walls were often used for property lines and also for ridding the fields of rocks. 2. This old cabin was probably one of the first homesteading sites in the area. Notice the hand hewn logs. 3. The broken caterpillar tracks came off of a bolldozer used for building John A. Cooper Lake. 4. This is the location of an old house which was surrounded by a rock wall in its day. llhat was probably a porch foundation and an entrance road to the cabin is still visible. 5. This is an old saw used to cut railroad ties. The patent date on the sawblade is June, 1902. 6. This is the largest natural SF ing on the reservation. THE KIA KUlA STORY The first president of the Chickasaw Council, Bolton Smith, acquired the original Kia Kima in 1916. For many years the 150acre camp located in the South Fork River near Hardy was considered to be among the best in the nation. Since 1916 more than 60,000 boys from the t-lernphis area have camped here. Attendance grew to the extent that 150 acres could not provide adequate campsites and program facilities. Outpost camps were used to alleviate crowded conditions. One of the first in the area, Kia Kima _attracted other ca"Ups and was instrumental in the development of central Arkansas. Scouting at Kia Kima played "a prominent role in the formation of Cherokee Village, a retirement community located adjacent to the camp. It started in 1946, when John A. Cooper, a lwest Memphis businessman, purchased a tract of land there after making several trips to bring his children to the Scout Camp. In the years that followed Kia Kima and the village grew in popularity. In the true Scout spirit John Cooper helped the camp overcome many of its problems by providing such facilities as a water supply line, a rifle range, a septic field, and numerous other services. Since Kia Kima could not take care of the Council's camping needs, officials set out to provide the accomodations for the future of the rapidly growing membership. A special committee searched for suitable sites near the Memphis area. Near the end of 1963 John Cooper offered to provide a new camp for Chickasaw council in, the same general area in exchange for the old Kia Kirna property. The new area, located farther up the river and approximately nine miles fran Hardy, consists of 540 acres. In the offer, Cherokee Village agreed to build a new dining hall, install a water system, erect campsites, provide a lake, a road network, toconstruct a number of buildings, and to make other improvements. The new location was to include all the facilities essential for an ideal camp to accamodate a minimum of 300 boys per week. Officials of Chickasaw Council were elated about the exchange. Late in January, 1964, the Council Executive Board authorized the transaction, and work was started to make the new camp ready for uzc that summer. The first week of camp began on June 14. During each summer's camping period, approximately 2,400 Scouts and Explorers participate in a Scouting experience they enjoy and remember for many years. Even before it opened, the new camp was enlarged. Several months before opening 140 acres of additional property on the north and west became available and the tract was purchased. Since 1964, Kia Kirna has acquired additional land to bring the total area to about 1,000 acres and a capacity of 600 boys per week. A new lake was ready for use in the summer of 1965 in addition to Camp Cherokee, which became the outpost camp. The 45 acre lake enables Kia Kima to of.fer an excellent acquatic program at both camps. The present camp also includes an administration building, a small hospital, and cabins, all at the main camp. 7. Cross the approaching creek and head for the top of the hill, following the markers. 8. Bear right and follow the crest of the ridge south. As you enter the cedar grove, bear more to the right and parallel to the edge of the bluff (7). 9. Continue along the top of the bluff until you reach the lookout point (8). No compass bearing is taken here, however there is a double marker to indicate the lookout point. 10. Return to the trail and follow it until you reach an old house site and barb-wire fence (9). 11. Foll~l the fence line east. Since Kia Kirna does not own the property past this fence, do not cross this fence. 12. At the end of the fence line you will dIscover an old road. Continue along it in an easterly direction across a dry creek bed (10). 13. Farther up the road you will 'discover an old homestead on the left. Just above the site you will take the road to the right (11). 14. Along this road you will pass a cedar grove and come upon a fenced field. Turn left and follow an old logging road. Continue along a fence line until markers bear to the left. The trail will come out along the road heading north. Follow this road and you will notice another rock fence. (12,13,14,15) 15. Continue on this northerly road until you carne upon a fence across the road. Follow the fence to the left, always keeping the fence on the right. Soon the fence turns back to the right, continue following it until you return to the road. Follow the road until it turns 450 to the right. At this point turn 450 to the left and follow the marker dOYln a gully and up the other side. 16. continued to I'Note-page. ..---", -', DIRECTIONS 1.

M & M Building Memphis, Tennessee Dear Jones: Please find enclosed herewith original and three copies of an instrument entitled " Amendment to Agreement Dated February 12, 1964". As you can see, it is a draft of the Amendment which I propose that the Council and the Union Planters National Bank enter into with Cherokee Village Development Company, Inc. regarding the new location arid construction of the lake at the new Boy Scout camp in Arkansas. Please give particular attention to the agreements set out on page 2 with regard to the lake. I would like your advice and Mr. Paul Borda's advice concerning whether or not the language in paragraph (1) on page 2 is, in your opinion and his, sufficient for the protection of the Council. I believe that it probably is sufficient and at the same time should not be objectionable to Cherokee. After all, the terrain to be covered by the new lake is substantially flatter than the terrain that would have been covered by the lake as first planned, and we certainly do not want marshy areas or mud flats to be created. I have seen lakes that have been entirely ruined by the growth of willow shoots when the level of the water got too low. If this Amendment meets with your approval and Mr. Borda's, please sign the original and two copies along with Mr. Borda and return the original and two signed copies to me. I Newton P.

Mr. Conner: Mr. Young, since you are :representing the Boy Scouts, would you like to make a 13tatement as to the use of this im- poundment? Mr. Young: The basic use of ·~his lake will be to carry out the park recreation program which is swimming, canoeing, fishing, and also, will give us the opportunity to develop three camps using this �....--------------~-~-~--~-·-··----·-···----·--·----·----· ........... - 2 .. lake for all three for a.cquat.ic sports, Our first camp is scheduled for Jwie 14, 1964. We hope the lake will be completed ... by this time • The water is to be used purely fo!' recreG>.tion. No water will be sold. Mr. Conner: Mr. Gore,, c-.r~ tl:e.:se the plans which you sub- mitted to this Commission for this lake? U so, are there any changes in these plans? Mr. Gore: Yes, these are the plo.ns o.nd there are no change of plans" .As I mentioned before we did change the location of the dam which was moved upstream from the original location~ but that is so noted in the land description of this dam. Mr. Conner: Where is this dam located in relation to the Thunderbird Dam? i\1r. Gore: This lake is on a tributary to the South Fork River. Also, Thunderbird is on a tributary to the South Fork, but this lake is some four miles upstream from Thnnderbird. Mr. Conner: Who will be responsible for the maintenance of this impoundment after it has been completed? l\-1::r. Gore: Cherokee Village is building the dam, but the Permit should be made to the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts who will be responsible for the maintenance. Mr. Conner: You understand that no work should be done prior to granting of this permit. Al.so, any changes to the plans and specifications that you have presented to this Commission should be forwarded to this Commission for their approval.. The Commission will meet on May 22 8.t which time this wHJ. be presented for approval. Ther11 seems to be no one present who has any objections to this impoundment so e.t this time (1 :50) this hearing stands adjourned. �l f I '! q'.;~' l':i. ,',' ;.' l't ! t 1,'-l t ·1~ ,1. 1 1 '. .1 1 ·~r,\ ,:TM1\ "[:-,\,/\:-1:1:, 111\~i 1\ 1 ,·>~1\'~.l·1\~·. b~' 1 :n1l1~ • I'.

We hope the lake will be completed by this time. The water is to be used purely for recreation. No water will be sold. Mr, Conner: Mr. Gore,, p.re these the plans which you submitted to this Commission for this lake? If so, are there any changes in these plans? Mr. Gore: Yes, these are the plans and there are no change of plans. As I mentioned before we d!d change the location of the dam which was moved upstream from the original location, but that is so noted in the land description of this dam. Mr. Conner: Where is this dam located in relation to the Thunderbird Dam? Mr. Gore: This lake is on a tributary to the South Fork River. Also, Thunderbird is on a tributary to the South Fork, but this lake is some four miles upstream from Thunderbird. Mr. Conner: Who will be responsible for the maintenance of this impoundment after it has been completed? Mr. Gore: Cherokee Village is building the dam, but the Permit should be made to the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts who will be responsible for the maintenance~ Mr. Conner: You understand that no work should be done prior to granting of this permit, Also, any changes to the plans and specifications that you have presented to this Commission should be forwarded to this Commission for their approval. The Commission will meet on May 22 at which time this wUl be presented for approval.

ARMSTRONG 1ae.i-19,;19 Please find enclosed herewith original and three copies of an instrument entitled " Amendment to Agreement Dated February 12, 1964". As you can see, it is a draft of the Amendment which I propose that the Council and the Union Planters National Bank enter into with Cherokee Village Development Company, Inc. regarding the new location arid construction of the lake at the new Boy Scout camp in Arkansas. Please give particular attention to the agreements set out on page 2 with regard to the lake. I would like your advice and Mr. Paul Borda's advice concerning whether or not the language in paragraph (1) on page 2 is, in your opinion and his, sufficient for the protection of the Council. I believe that it probably is sufficient and at the same time should not be objectionable to Cherokee. After all, the terrain to be covered by the new lake is substantially flatter than the terrain that would have been covered by the lake as first planned, and we certainly do not want marshy areas or mud flats to be created. I have seen lakes that have been entirely ruined by the growth of willow shoots when the level of the water got too low. If this Amendment meets with your approval and Mr. Borda's, please sign the original and two copies along with Mr. Borda and return the original and two signed copies to me. NPA:mkc Enclosures cc: Mr. Paul Borda I Newton P. Allen THIS IS A TENTATIVE PROPOSAL FROM CHEROKEE VILLAGE TO CHICKASAW COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 1.

Mr. Conner: Where is this dam located in relation to the Thunderbird Dam? Mr. Gore: This lake is on a tributary to the South Fork River. Also, Thunderbird is on a tributary to the South Fork, but this lake is some four miles upstream from Thunderbird. Mr. Conner: Who will be responsible for the maintenance of this impoundment after it has been completed? Mr. Gore: Cherokee Village is building the dam, but the Permit should be made to the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts who will be responsible for the maintenance~ Mr. Conner: You understand that no work should be done prior to granting of this permit, Also, any changes to the plans and specifications that you have presented to this Commission should be forwarded to this Commission for their approval.
