Dear I,1r. Dalstrom:
Your letter in regard to more and better recognition for Negroes ln

and f believe wil1 leaci to a good end" Somethlng ls happenlng in Region If,
to rr-hleh I want to call your attention. As Last year, the P,"egion is ho}dlng
a Regional- Meeting for $egro Scouters. Last year it honored Dr. Hamis, but
othe:vlse was eondueted very mieh as ue eonduct our Regional Annual Meetings"
ft v111 be repeated anC held- in Houston, probably on Oetober L2-13. The neeting vi11 be presideC over by an outsta.nding Negro Scouter. hlhites r,rilL partlcipate in the program and take sueh part as fltey be assigned. It is strictly
a neeting of Negro Seouters in the interests of Scouting for Negro boys all
over the B-egion.
I errpeet to attend
Reglon V obsegver, and get
this meeting. I would liketo soe you there as a
at flrst hand your ovn reaetlon" If this effort is
worthwhile, f ara sure Regl-ons V and Vf vould 1lke to lorow something about it.
f know of no better vay than for observers to a-ttend" I am quite sure Mr. Erb
w111
get an ernouncerrent from the Region IX Exeeutive as soon as the nevs
brea-ks.
I shal1 keep in toueh with you in regard to your suggestions. i{ith
kindest regards,

to rr-hleh I want to call your attention. As Last year, the P,"egion is ho}dlng
a Regional- Meeting for $egro Scouters. Last year it honored Dr. Hamis, but
othe:vlse was eondueted very mieh as ue eonduct our Regional Annual Meetings"
ft v111 be repeated anC held- in Houston, probably on Oetober L2-13. The neeting
vi11 be presideC over by an outsta.nding Negro Scouter. hlhites r,rilL partlcipate
in the program and take sueh part as fltey be assigned. It is strictly
a neeting of Negro Seouters in the interests of Scouting for Negro boys all
over the B-egion.
I errpeet to attend this meeting. I would liketo soe you there as a
Reglon V obsegver, and get at flrst hand your ovn reaetlon" If this effort is
worthwhile, f ara sure Regl-ons V and Vf vould 1lke to lorow something about it.

the Mayor, but we &
MAYOR
Apri 1 12, 1944.
Dear Sir:
The n~ed for expanding the training of
boys and girls as Scouts is very evident, and the
Seminole Divfsion of Scouts bas arranged a training
course for Scout Leaders to be held at LeWoyne
College on May 2, 4, 9, 11, 16 and 18~
As I have no doubt tba t the members of
your church ar:e ,interested in the best possible
opportunities for your younb people, I am asking
that you se t:id me the names and addresses of five
men and five women who can take the training
courses referred to and qualify themselves to be
Roy and Girl Scout Leaders. If this information c~p
reach me promptly, ,11 of those whom you name ·will
be invited to attend the Scout Court of Honor to be
~eld at Ellis Auditorium on April 30.
'l'b is is a most important work, and your
cooperation will be appreciated by all those
interested in the welfare of the youth of our City.
Awaiting your reply, I am,
Yours very truly,
For Memphis Youth

Dear Sir:
The n~ed for expanding the training of
boys and girls as Scouts is very evident, and the
Seminole Divfsion of Scouts bas arranged a training
course for Scout Leaders to be held at LeWoyne
College on May 2, 4, 9, 11, 16 and 18~
As I have no doubt tba t the members of
your church ar:e ,interested in the best possible
opportunities for your younb people, I am asking
that you se t:id me the names and addresses of five
men and five women who can take the training
courses referred to and qualify themselves to be
Roy and Girl Scout Leaders. If this information c~p
reach me promptly, ,11 of those whom you name ·will
be invited to attend the Scout Court of Honor to be
~eld at Ellis Auditorium on April 30.
'l'b is is a most important work, and your
cooperation will be appreciated by all those
interested in the welfare of the youth of our City.
Awaiting your reply, I am,
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Dalston:
It gives me great pleasure to notify you formally that at .t he 32nd
Annual Meeting of tbe National Council, Boy Scouts of Amerioa, held in
St. Paul, May 15th and 16th, you were unanimously re-elected as a Member
at Large of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America..
Our meeting in St. Paul was an outstanding success. From everywhere
we have received enthusiastic comments attesting to the values of the
various sessions and especially the group discussions. All were largely
attended and revealed evidenoe of intelligent understanding of the many
outstanding problems of the Boy Scouts of America and our magnificent·
opportunity for service to our country in its all-out War Program. The
splendid messages from President Head, Dr. Howard McClusky, Bishop Sheil
e.nd Governor Stassen, as well as others, were most stimulating.
You have received a copy of SCOUTING giving you an account of the
Annual Meeting sessions. Attached is a copy of & very -e ncouraging letter
from the President of the United States.
You will be glad to know that we are receiving many fine letters ot
appreciation from Government authorities for services being rendered by
Soouts in the War effort.
It will be a pleasure to receive from you at any time suggestions or
comments on any phase of Scouting.
Yours for Viotory through Unity and Work

I have your good letter of October 22 and I am heartily in f avor
of allocating an additional Silver Beaver Award to the allotment due
the Chickasaw Council to use in hon~g one of your outst anding

I think this is a splendid thing to do and will be greatly
welcomed by the Negro Leaders. Therefore if you will fill in a bl ank
and send it on we will act upon it promptly.
Hearty congratulations on the f i ne service which the Chickasaw
Council i s rendering to Negro boys. I am delighted that you have so

I have b e en mal dn0 a r a th\:;lr intensive study of y ou.r Cow1ci l a nd t he wor k you
are doing among Negroes. Your Collllcil ha d (1930 census) 2070 t welve year o l d ~egro
boy s. Decembe r 31, 1939 you had 566 scouts. A Scout ciensity o.f 27.3. Your Council
density is 73.8 or nea rly three ti.mes a s rna.ny scouts p er 1 00 t welve year old boys a s
among y our Ne g roes.
Your o bjective wa s 626 for 1940 according to the me111bership f i gures given on the
recent survey re p ort. Ho wever , at the p resent tiJne y ou have 22 scouts less than y ou
had December 31. How do y ou a ccount f or tha t1
If we are g oing t o have a n y additiona l Troops o rgani z ed e. nd re g istered before the first
of the y ear we must get busy real ciuick and do it .
W11ile I 'i\ ish every Council in the coun try wo uld a chieve its objective, we are
c onscious o f a much grea t e r need for scouting ' t oday t llin we V>1ere J a nua r y 1st wh e n
t h e s e objectives were made. So let's just be iSO Od scouts and do our best.
Wha t ci istricts in t he Cow1cil could h a ve, but do not now ha ve a Troop for
Negr .> boy s? Are ti.1ere a uy districts that still oppose scouting for Ne g r oe s? How
ca n we pr esent the f a cts so a s to ge t their consent m 1ci coop eration? V\l hat ca n we
do t o i ncrea se the meillbership of our pr esent troop s to a t lea st 24 boys per troop ?
Would a big unnual meeting of the hegro le<.c ders c.. bo_ut J a nU&l'Y l uth with go..:t lS set
for t hat date help ? Wh& t should be our g o als? 'Vvhat a ctivities could we p romote
this f a ll a rnl vi inter that would make boys more intensively desire to be sco uts and
rnen more iuilling to lead? What training do we need? Is the budget a llowan c e sufficient,
if not h ow can we ge t c.~n adequate budget? The se a re some of t he que s tions
I wish you would ask c,nd could get unswered .

Attention:
Mr. W. G. Morris,Scout Executive
Dear Mr. Morris:
Your letter of August 22 regarding t·he sale of Kamp Kia Kima to the
Eastern Arkansas Council was considered cuite seriously at a meeting of our
Executive Board last Tuesday, September 16.
While, of course, we were quite reluctant to pass up the opportunity
of acquiring a ca.rap which had been used for a number of years for tho purpose
for which we wish to use it, yot it was felt t.hE.t owing to the limited financial resources of our Council and the fact that tho camp o.s at present is not
entirely suitublo for the current opinions ns to the best method of conducting
tho camps, and tho further fact th....'1.t rather oxtonsi vc repairs will be necessary
in order to ma.kc it oven sorvicco.blo for next year, it was tho unanimous opinion
th[l.t wo would ho.ve to decline your offer.
We approcin.to quite thoroughly tho ln.rge amount of sentiment attD.ched
to this camp by the people of Memphis, and it is not our intention to reflect
in nny wo.,y on this sentiment which is praiseworthy, but this sentiment docs not
at the present exist among tho scouts nnd scoutcrs of Eastern Arkansas, and
n. like son timcnt would hn,vo to be built up, which could be clone as well at
another camp a.s at Kamp Kia Kima. Inasmuch as it is necessary under our conditions to koop the :Boy Scou.ts as an c1.ctivc, progressive orgrui.ization, we do
not feel thnt we nro justified in :placing v.ny financial value on the sentiment
which e:dsts in n.nothcr, nlthough allied association.
Wo arc, therefore, cn,nvassing other sites in the same general territory, of which there app enr to be n.t lee.st fi vc reasonably well sui to cl for our
purposes, and will proceed with tho development of tho camp, which we believe
will fit in with tho present thought on cn.mping fully ri.s well as Krunp Kia. Kima.
Wo o.pprociatc very much the spirit of coopcra.tion which you have
shown, o.nd regret tlmt we cannot use these negotiations as an excuse to moot
with you and your group more often. Kindly convoy our utmost appreciation to
tho other mom·oors whoh..nvc boon present nt tho various interviews.

Memphis Young Woman's Christian Associ,tion president Elida Fri and ·a representattV'e l>f Walters Construction -Co. of
Salem, Ark., will sign a contract Thursday
at the YWCA at 3387 Poplar for the construction of camping facilities near Cherokee, Ark. Also present for the signing ceremony will be representatives of the Jonesboro, Ark., architectural firm, arack{!tt·
Krennerich and Associates, and Mrs.
James Bennett, of whom camp dirctor Bet·
ty Woodard said, "She's the most excited
one of us all. And she's not an old Mirami·
chee camper-'- or even a Memphian."
Mrs. Bennett, a member of the YWCA
board of directors, has been the board's
liaison to the camp committee for the past
year.
The camp is on the south fork of the
Spring River, "next door" to Boy Scout
Camp Kiakima.
Phase 1 building, which will cost about
$100,000, calls for a dining building, bath
house and the septic system. "That probably means we'll tent camp next summer,"
said Mrs. Woodard. "Butif by some miracle
the fund-raisers get the money together
for cabins, we anticipate we could start
building them as late as March and still"te
ready for our summer sessions."
The new camp, nine miles up river from
the old location, will be an expanded version of the Miramichee that has been a
household word to generations of campage Memphians. The old camp had 48
acres;. the new one has 148 acres.
But the terrain of new Miramichee
won't feel all that unfamiliar to the "old
camp girls," whose nostalgia brings them
back for visits, said Mrs. Woodard, an old
camp girl herself. "It's amazing how similar the situation is; the creek that runs
through the camp is almost in the same
place. And the river is almost the same:
White water above that is gentler widens
into a good canoe-teaching situation and
then slows even more to make a safe, lazy
pool for swimmers.
"The inner camp layout will eventually
be a lot like the old camp too," said Mrs.
Woodard. "There are some geographical
memories that we will take pains to re·
create."
But everything will be better, she said.
"For instance, while some of the cabins
will be screened structures as before, oth·
ers will be built so they can be winterized.
We want to be able to use the camp all year
round, instead of just a couple of two- orthree-week summer sessions."
Compers toke o dip in o quiet stretch of the Spring River
A lot of things, however, will have to
wait until later phases because of limited
building funds. Phase 2 calls for building
clusters of cabins, administration and
nurses' building, a cook's cabin and, hope.
fully, a crafts building.
"Then comes the dream," said Mrs. Woodard. "Phase 3 plans include a swimming
pool, tennis courts and stables. "We've
waited a long time to think about this part
of enriching the YWCA camp experience.
Future fund-raising is a big part of the
plan, but now that we have the expanded
acreage, and are making the first step, it
somehow doesn't seem so far away."
The first building phase is being accomplished with a contribution from the Cecil
M. Gooch Trust Fund, money from two
years of fund-raising projects, and funds )
set aside by the board from the sale of the
former YWCA building at 200 Monroe. , ·

place. And the river is almost the same:
White water above that is gentler widens
into a good canoe-teaching situation and
then slows even more to make a safe, lazy
pool for swimmers.
"The inner camp layout will eventually
be a lot like the old camp too," said Mrs.
Woodard. "There are some geographical
memories that we will take pains to recreate."
·
But everything will be better, she said.
"For instance, while some of the cabins
will be screened structures as before, oth·
ers will be built so they can be winterized.
We want to be able to use the camp all year
round, instead of just a couple of two- orthree-
week summer sessions."
Compers to ke o dip in o quiet stretch of the Spring River
A lot of things, however, will have to
wait until later phases because of limited
building funds. Phase 2 calls for building
clusters of cabins, administration and
nurses' building, a cook's cabin and, hopefully,
a crafts building. .
"Then comes the dream," said Mrs. Woodard.
"Phase 3 plans include a swimming
pool, tennis courts and stables. "We've
waited a long time to think about this part
of enriching the YWCA camp experience.
Future fund-raising is a big part of the
plan, but now that we have the expanded
acreage, and are making the first step, it
somehow doesn't seem so far away."
The first building phase is being accomplished
with a contribution from the Cecil
M. Gooch Trust Fund, money from two
years of fund-raising projects, and funds )
set aside by the board from the sale of the
former YWCA building at 200 Monroe. , ·
