A. ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER ;12, 1929. '•~ ** ** : REPORT OF ACTIVI TIES C 0 MM I T T E E Again I feel that my report for the year of 1929 should deal with the activities and the spirit of -the 'adult- leaders of the Chickasaw council, for without this unselfish service scouting would of a necessity fail, as the success of the whole program is founded on the efficient leadership of our scout leaders. I have been in personal con tact with practically every troop in our Council during the year and as a whole I would say that the troops have adequate leadership, but in some instances I have found the scoutmaster s are sadly in need of training such as could be given at a scoutleader s' training school and I am of the opinion that a scoutleader s• training school should be held as soon as possible after this meeting for the purpose of further educating the scoutmaster s. At the present time we are in no particular need of scoutmaster s, but we could use advantageou sly Assistant scoutmaster s and District commissioners, as the commission er's staff now only has about four men that can be depended on to serve when called upon. During the past year, we have adopted a new plan for the commissioner• s staff which, with the small staff we have had,.has worked out very proficientl y but has, of course, suffered from lack of man power. I feel that the commission er's staff should be composed of no less than ten men and could very well utilize fifteen, and I would recommend that an appeal be ma.de to the lwicheon clubs to send at least one man to the next scoutleader st training school with the view of having him become a D~strict Commissione r. The off ice of Deputy Commissioner has been efficiently filled this year by Allen Hughes, Jr., but he has tendered his resignation , thus leaving a very i~ortant vacancy, and I feel that careful consideratio n should be given to the man who is to occupy this position as he is not only the Deputy com:nissione r, but is an ex-officio member of every standing committee and should necessarily be a man trained in the technique of scouting and in the spirit of the organizatio n. A city-wide rally tournament was inaugurated in October of this · year and will come to a close in December at which time the winning troops of each league will meet in a big rally to which all who are interested in scouting are cordially invitedA This rally tournament has been a huge success and h~s. I believe, increased the efficiency of each individual troop at least 5C%, as it has given the boys a broader outlook on scouting and has given them an insight into the activities and training of other troops of the city. It has brought 'to the scoutmaster new ideas and ideals and has page 1. �REPORT OF ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE (Continued) certainly served a very Useful purpose. However, I am of the opinion that this tournament should not be an annual affair but semi-annual , and if possible, the Merit Badge Exposition of 1928 should be repeated in 1930, as I believe this was the most spectacular event Chickasaw council ever advocated. There have been numerous other activities of the individual troops, but these activities have been fully discussed in other reports and I see no need of going into them at this time. Chickasaw council had one :r;epresenta tive at the world Jamboree held in Birkenhead., En.gland, when it should have had several, but I believe that our failure to have more than one scout attend was possibly due to the lack of education on the part of the parents of our scouts, and this education cannot be had with the present limited budget of the Council, but if it were possible to increase the bul.get of the publicity committee, I believe that we would find ourselves amply repaid by the increased interest on the pa.rt of the families of the scouts.· In general, I wou.ld say that the troops are in the best condition that they have eve.r been but that there is still room for improvement.

'l~·~l' )J, . * *** REPO RT OF CAMP CU-RR I ER C 0 MM I T T E E I During the past year camp Currier has been used very much more than in any previou s year of its history , despite the fact that only one special day, the Saturday followin g the close of the Memphis public schools last June, was made a big day for all scouts. During the summer vacation only four days passed without scouts being at camp. Jf The total scout-da y attendan ce for the year was 1,941, more than wice as large as any previou s record, indicati ng that the normal use of this wildern ess camp attracts more scouts than can be secured even when extraord inary inducem ents are used to increase the attendan ce. The total of other visitors was 874. j ' 1 The Committee is very gratefu l to Mrs. Elizabe th B. currier for the splendid financi al help that she has given us this year. Mrs. Currier has donated $600.00 for the use of the camp and this money has been of tremendous help in carrying on the many activiti es of the camp. Without it the program would have been serious ly handicap ped and we deeply appreci ate her splendid generos ity. This year the camp has suffered no damage from fire or otherwis e; its use as an asylum for wild life is better respecte d and is becoming popular with the local community; and the only serious persona l injury during the year was an acciden tal lick inflicte d in play that resulted in a cut on the head which did not go through the scalp. The scout was given immedia te First Aid treatmen t and suffered no ill effects . In 1928 cabin-b uilding had practic ally come to a standsti ll., whereas in 1929 two cabins whose constru ction had been lagging were complete d, four new ones have been begun and finished , two others have been started, and the felling of trees for.cabi n materia l has been commenced by four troops. There are now eight complete d cabins on the camp, owned by Troops 5, 16, 19, 25, 29, 33, 34, and 41. The program of the year at Camp currier has aroused more interest than ever before as is evidence d by the larger number of scouts particip ating in camp activiti es. This should warrant a more portenti ous schedule for the coming year. That is, more activiti es should be encourag ed outside of th~ work in constru cting cabins and making other improvem ents. It is the plan of the camp directo r to increase the scope of these activiti es as fast as the boys can be lead to take up all lines of real backwoods pursuit s.

AlOOAL MEETING, DECEW3ER 12, 1929. * *** REPORT OF INTER-RACIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE your comnittee is indeed pro'\.'.d of the work accomplished with negro boys this year. 1928 was the first year that the privileges of scouting were given to these boys by Chickasaw Council, two troops being organized during that year. In 1929, four troops were organized so that the council now has six troops which are doing splendid work. The Executive Board has authorized four additional troops and these are now in process of organization. '.Lhe population of Chickasaw council area is 32% negro and your committee feels it unwise to withhold scout training from so large a number of human beings whose character development it is not only our duty to encourage but to our very distinct interest as well. We are very proud of the re cord these boys have ma.de and also of the fact that there has never been the slightest conflict between negro scouts and white scouts here or elsewhere in the sou1\l!.. your committee believes training is essential for the negro man to become a scoutmaster and we recomnend that in 1930 training schools for them be given due emphasis and that we give our negro leaders all the help we can. Respectfully submitted., INTER-RACIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITI'EE page 12,. �CHICKA_Q.AW COUNCIL, ]. S. A• .ANNU.b.L MEE TING, DECEEBER 12, 1929 ** ** REPORT 0 F I.A.MP KIA KIMA COMMITTEE The attendance at Kamp Kia Kimat s 14th season was a disappointment, as only 180 boys attended. the camp as compared to 211 in 1928. This lack of attendance caused the ca1,1p to lose i>1oney, the deficiency being $432. 72. This was taken care of through funds provided by the Memphis cornmuni ty Fund. F:very effort was made to conserve our money and we spent only $541.79 for equipment in 1929 as compared to $65.7. 43 spent in 1928. The camp now has a splendid stone hospital which :was completed before the beginning of the camping season this year and which was used for the first time this season. This hospital was built accord.in~ to plans drawn by Dr. J. c • .Ayres, a member of the ca.aping QorrLnittee who has worked long and faithfully for the advancemE;n t of Kamp Kia Kima. The hospital overlooks the river front and is very advantageously located. :rt is screened thoroughly, has running water and a shower bath~ The hospitai was equipped with two hospital beds, the gift of the Gartley-Ramsay ·Hospital, an e:xainination table, the gift of the ]aptist Hospital through Mr. George D. Sheats, Superintendent, and a centrifuge, donated by Mr. Ed. Mercere of Gwinner Mercere' co. This building has long been needed at camp and we are deeply indebted to the gentlemen who have worked so faithfully to build and equip this splendid addition to our camp. The health of the camp was very good throughout the season with the exception of a few cases of malaria. The camp doctor feels certain that all malaria was brought to camp as all boys havi~g the disease had been treat~ ed for it before their arrival at camp. Four· times during the season boys oil·ed all the old stumps, sloughs, and standing water within the radius of one-half a mile of the camp, which was a very efficient method of preventing mosquitos. There were only two accidents of any importance, one boy being bitten by a snake and one staff member being injured in a fall. Kamp Kia Kima is provided with Antivenin, which is the only known specific for snake poison, and this prevented any injurious effect to the boy who was bitten by the copperhead, as the camp doctor administered this medicine immediately after the accident. A tennis court was built at carup this year and this provided one of the. most popular activities in ca.mp. It was constantly used by the boys and they derived much pleasure from it. The camp headquarters which was given to Chickasaw Council through the generosity of Mr. Edward M.

This magazine is of tremendous interest to boys and it has been materially improved and developed during the past year. The books received at Kamp Kia Kima this season were by far superior to a.ny library which the camp has enjoyed in the past. The cossitt Library has been of much help to us in arranging the selection of these books and we want to thank them for their splendid cooperation. under the new registration plan for scouters, all adult leaders connected in any capacity with the scout movement will pay a registration fee of $1. 00 per year and will receive the magazine 11 SCOUTING" after the council Charter is renewed in 1930. This should be of material help in assisting the leaders of the Council to keep informed of the progress and development of the movement. our council members will not receive "SCOUTING" until July 1, 1930 unless they desire to pay a registration fee of $1.00 for the year ending June 30, 1930. we recommend: l. That each council member send one dollar to the scout Executive to be used in registering himself as a scouter and so receive the magazine from now until July l, 1930. 2. That in 1930 the Reading committee exerts every effort to make 11 EOYS LIFE" available to all boys and especially scouts and that the committee makes definite plans toward this end. 3.

S C0 U T This is the first report of the sea Scout comnittee as your committee was authorized by the new constitution that went into effect January 1, 1929. we believe sea scouting is one of the best means of holding the older boy in the Scout movement, as the sea scout program is built for older boys, that is from fifteen years of age and above. Chickasaw council now has two ships of sea Scouts, the $. s. Sv Kia Kima and the s.s.s. Decatur. We believe Memphis offers splendid opportunities for sea Scouting but that it will be necessary for the council to have a boat before sea scouting will ever approach the efficiency it should have. Numerous efforts have been made to secure a boat and w~. Edward M. salomon has generously agreei to pay the freight and overhauling charges on a boat whenever the council can secure one from the Navy Department. .A. number of efforts have been made to get a suitable boat but on account of _the poor condition of all the boats available they have been rejected. are still working to secure a boat we feel it will be of mu.ch help towards the training, of our older boys and in keeping them active in scouting. we as For 1930 we recommend: 1. That a boat at least thirty feet long be secured for use of sea scouts under the direction and control of the Council through the Scout Executive. 2. That at least $500.00 be provided in the Coun·cn budget for Sea Scouting. 3. That at least two additional sea scout troops be organized and that additional ships be formed whenever facilities are available.

A• .ANNUAL MEET ING, DECEMBER 12 I 19~9. * *** REPORT OF TROOP ORGA~IZATION COMMITTE E your Committee reports that during the year ep.ding December l, 1929 there were ten troops of white boys and four troops of negro boys organized. Chickasaw Council now has fifty-one troops of white boys and six troops of negro boys, a total of fifty-seven troops. This is a gain of 23.9% 1 inasmuch as the Council had only forty-six troops last year, forty-four of which were wh~te and two colored. The .white troops organized this year are as follows: Troop 15 - Bellevue :Baptist Church Troop 3? • Springdale Methodist Church Troop 39 - First United Lutheran Church Troop 41 - Hernando, Mississippi Troop 42 - .Eastern Heigh.ts Baptist Church Troop 44 - Olive ]ranch, Mississippi Troop 48 - Southside Methodist Church Troop 53 - National Avenue Baptist Church Troop 57 - Horn Lake, Mississippi Troop 59 - Capleville Baptist Church The four negro troops organized are as follows: Troop 102 - Metropolitan Baptist Church Troop 103 - Mount Olive Q. M. E· Church Troop 104 - Mount Pisgah c. M. E· Church Troop 105 - Gospel Temple :Baptist Church Your committee is glad to report that steady progress has been made in organizing troops in the Baptist Churches of Memphis. In 1928 there were only two troops sponsored by :Baptist Churches in the council ~rea, but at the close of this year we have eight troops sponsored by Baptist Churches, four page 2~.· �REPORT OF TROOP' ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE (Continued) of wnich were organized this. year, and two troops being transferred from the sponsorship of other institution s to :Baptist Churches. we are ma.king every effort to organize troops in some of the larger Baptist Churches which have never sponsored troops and we feel confident that in another year the percentage of Baptist Churches sponsoring troops will compare favorably with the other denominatio ns. In addition to the white troops above mentioned, troops have been organized in two·negro ~aptist Churches, making a total of three negro ~roops in Baptist Churchesf your comtnittee is proud of this record and we recommend that continual effort be put on the organizatio n of troops in Baptist Churches in 1930. We are ·also glad to report that the number. of troops outside of Memphis proper has· been increased from eight in 1928 to thirteen in 1929. we recommend that the Troop organizatio n comnittee makes especial efforts in 1930 to extend the privileges of scouting to the boys in the council Area outside of Memphis. · For 1930 ·we recommend that at least ten new troops be organized for wnite·boys and that new troops be organized for colored boys whenever in the judgment of the president of the council and the Executive Board the colored institution s are capable of supporting scout troops. Respectfull y submitted, TROOP ORG,ANIZ.ATION COMMITTEE (JOtkdc.. BY page 24. mJJi:J Chairman · �CHICKASAW COUNCIL, :B. S. A. ANNUAL l1iEETING, DECEMBER 12, 1929. * * ** R E P 0 R T 0 F S CO UT E XE.CU T I V E On December 1, 1929, Chickasaw council had fifty-one troops of white boys ai1d six troops of negro boys, a total of fifty-seven troops as compared to forty-four troops of white boys and two troops of negro boys last year, a net gain of eleven troops or 23.90fa. This is the largest number of active troops our council has ever had and if present plans are carried out we should easily have seventy troops by the end of 1930, a most encouraging outlook for our future growth. In 1928 only two of our troops were sponsored by :Baptist Churches, but this year, through the efforts bf M;r. Jack Gates, six additional churches have sponsored troops and we now have eight troops in :Baptist Churches • . It has been our policy to organize new troops with the minimum number. of eight boys and let them· gradually increase rather than to attempt to start with a large number of boys. This has proven a very satisfactory policy in that it has insured troop permanency. However, it has somewhat retarded our growth in numbers. we now have 1,238 scouts as compared to 1,137 last year, a gain of .Bfb. The national average of scouts per troop is 21.2 while our average is 21.7, so even though our gain in numbers has been small we are still somewhat better than the average. In 1930 our average of scouts per troop should be materially increased, for recruiting is constantly going on and the new troops organized this year will soon be recruited up to the average number. our troops are enjoying splendid leadership and every troop has an active adult leader directing its program. Two troops are being led by adult Assistant Scoutmasters who are carrying on during the absence from the city of the scoutmasters; one troop is being led by an Assistant Scoutmaster who will shortly be commissioned as scoutmaster and one troop is being led by a member of the Troop cormnittee (who was formerly scoutmaster), until a new scoutmaster can be secured. The remaining !ifty-three troops have scoutrilasters in charge. From this it will be seen that every troop is enjoying good leadership and I want to take this opportunity to express to the scoutmasters and the Assistant scoutmasters of Chickasaw council my sincere appreciation of their splendid help and cooperation in all the activities of the Council during the past year. This year our scouts have been extremely active in community service and they have done numerous civic good turns which are well worthy of mention. Their biggest job was the distribution of fifty thousand cards giving directions for the control of mosquito breeding. ]]Very troop in MeII!Phis was needed for this work which was under the direction of Dr, L· M. Graves of the Department of Health. our boys did this job and did it well. During the meeting of the American Bar Association, scouts served as pages. Through the courtesy of professor R· L· Jones, each scout page was released from school page 25. �REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (continued) for the day he served. During the first week of the meeting ten boys were on duty each day and for the second week thirty boys were used each day, so that more than two hundred scouts from the different troops in Memphis helped in this good turn. our boys have also done many other forms of civic service in distributing posters for the Shelby Council Anti-Tuberculosis society, helping the community Fund, directing traffic at the Dedication of the I'tfu.nicipal Airport, controlling the crowds during the Spirit of Christmas parade, as well as numerous other good turns which required .but a few boys. I feel sure every man in the council is proud of this record of service to the community. The camp program has been very successful and more boys have had the benefit of learning nature's secrets through living in the great out-ofdoors tha.~ ever before. At Kamp Kia Kima the attendance was slightly smaller than last year but the boys thoroughly enjoyad themselves. At Camp currier the attendance was niore than doubled and the boys are ming this camp in increasing numbers. Our two camps are of tremendous benefit to our boys and we should feel proud of our camp equipment. The greatest need we have in our camping program is swimming facilities at car:ip currier. A lake is badly needed but until such a time as funds are available for its construction I feel sure we should provide some sort of swimming pool for the boys. This feature will attract hundreds of boys and will give the camp a tremendous added attraction. Our indoor program ho.s also been tremendously successful, as the inter-troop rally tournrunent which has been running for about three months has been the means of helping many troops to learn their weaknesses in scouting technique and has brought them to a much higher standard of efficiency. These rallies have been splendidly handled by commissioner Mathews and the District commissioners and have been the source of tremendous interest among the boys. Early in 1930 we plan to have the finals of the tournament at the Auditoriura and this should be a big event in the new year. We are .indebted to the "Memphis EVening Appeal" for the silver loving cup which will be awarded to the winner. The council is indebted to Commissioner Ross .A.. Mathews, Mr. Willard Hays, Mr. William G. Hall, Mr. Allen Hughes, Jr., Mr. :sen :s. Coffey, Mr. Joe Flanagan, and ~~. Harry Myers for the splendid work they did in the training school for scoutleaders, as the school wns of mu.ch help to the men who took the training. The council is also indebted. to far. :Ben Coffey for his splendid w9:r;k in leading a specialization course in First Aid. · ScaQting among negro boys is progressing slowly but surely. In 1929 four troops of negro boys were organized so that we now have six troops in the council. The Executive Board has authorized the addition of four more troops ond these are now being organized. I am glad to say there has been no objection to the use of the scout program by the negro boys by any of our white Scoutleaders or scouts and there has not been the slightest friction between white and negro scouts. At the Inter-National Jamboree which was held in :Birkenhead, England, our council was represented by scout William Robert Neill, Jr. we page 26. �REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) planned to have patrol to attend this Jamboree but owing to our financial situation only one boy was able to go and he had to pay his own expenses. Through the splendid work of our officers and the Executive Board as well as the wembers of the various comr::d.tt~es, our council has made considerable progress during the past year~ a.."'1.d. I want to take this opportunity to express to these gentlemen my deep and sincere appreciatio n for the splendid cooperation and help that they have given me in everything that has been done. Many demands have been· ma.de for time that some of our r!lembers could ill afford to give, l.llld I want to thank you all for the thought you have given, sacrifices you have made, and the real work that has been done that the council r.Jight give to our boys every opportunity to becorrie better citizens through the L1anifold ad.vantages Of Scouting. In planning the work of the COJ.ncil for 1930 I recomnend: vi. That special emphasis be placed on the training of leaders and that two training schools for wh.ite leaders and one for negro leaders be conducted., That a lake be built at camp Currier. I feel confident that attendance will more than double when swinoing facilities are available at the camp and I believe a lake will stimulate not only the boys but will create i~creased interest in scouting araong the parents and the supporting constituenc y of the council. That oore boys be recruited in our various troops and that fifteen new troops be organized. 4. That a budget of $20,000.00 for council operation be made available. Our council has been handicapped for a number of years through lack of f1111ds and in discussir;.g our budget with national officers I find they are unanir.iously agreed that $20,000.00 is the mininum budget required for real progress in a council the size of ours. That we have a i:1eri t badge exposition si::1ilar to the one held in cor~di tion will pernit. 1928 provided our financial That we r.'.laintain high sta;.1dards in all events involved in scouting technique and especially in the award of merit badges. This r:-iay result in a fewer nusber of i:,eri t badges being taken but will improve and build up the quality of scouting among our boys. 7. That Sea Sco-~ting be given a higher place in the Council's activities a;.id that a boat be provided for the use of our sea scout Ships. 8. That we give the advantages of the scout program to negro boys whenever and wherever troops can be organized under proper leadership and supervision . page 27. �REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) 9. 10.

In the early morning of September 5, 1929, James was awakened by smoke and flar~es in his room on the second story of his home in Buntyn. The fire had reached such proportions it was impossible to get out of the house by way of the stairs. With rare presence of mind, J~aes awakened his sister, improvised a _rope of sheets from the bed, and with great difficulty lowered her from the second story to the ground in safety, even though his clothes were in flames. After the girl was on the ground Ja,i:les jumped, but in effecting the rescue he had been so severely burned that he died in the Baptist Hospital a few hours later. This boy lived scouting and his training was of much help to him throughout the tragedy according to his own statement to a newspaper reporter after he reached the hospital. we feel that all honor is due James Hopper for his splendid act and we are now trying to secure a posthumous award of the Honor Medal for life saving. we feel this glorious deed in which a scout thought of others before hir.iself is one of the finest acts of heroism in the history of Chickasaw council.

A. ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER ;12, 1929. * * * * '• ~ : REPORT OF ACTIVITIES C 0 M M I T T E E Again I feel that my report for the year of 1929 should deal with the activities and the spirit of -the 'adult- leaders of the Chickasaw council, for without this unselfish service scouting would of a necessity fail, as the success of the whole program is founded on the efficient leadership of our scout leaders. I have been in personal con tact with practically every troop in our Council during the year and as a whole I would say that the troops have adequate leadership, but in some instances I have found the scoutmasters are sadly in need of training such as could be given at a scoutleaders' training school and I am of the opinion that a scoutleaders• training school should be held as soon as possible after this meeting for the purpose of further educating the scoutmasters. At the present time we are in no particular need of scoutmasters, but we could use advantageously Assistant scoutmasters and District commissioners, as the commissioner's staff now only has about four men that can be depended on to serve when called upon. During the past year, we have adopted a new plan for the commissioner• s staff which, with the small staff we have had,.has worked out very proficiently but has, of course, suffered from lack of man power. I feel that the commissioner's staff should be composed of no less than ten men and could very well utilize fifteen, and I would recommend that an appeal be ma.de to the lwicheon clubs to send at least one man to the next scoutleaderst training school with the view of having him become a D~strict Commissioner. The off ice of Deputy Commissioner has been efficiently filled this year by Allen Hughes, Jr., but he has tendered his resignation, thus leaving a very i~ortant vacancy, and I feel that careful consideration should be given to the man who is to occupy this position as he is not only the Deputy com:nissioner, but is an ex-officio member of every standing committee and should necessarily be a man trained in the technique of scouting and in the spirit of the organization. A city-wide rally tournament was inaugurated in October of this · year and will come to a close in December at which time the winning troops of each league will meet in a big rally to which all who are interested in scouting are cordially invitedA This rally tournament has been a huge success and h~s. I believe, increased the efficiency of each individual troop at least 5C%, as it has given the boys a broader outlook on scouting and has given them an insight into the activities and training of other troops of the city. It has brought 'to the scoutmaster new ideas and ideals and has page 1. REPORT OF ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE (Continued) certainly served a very Useful purpose. However, I am of the opinion that this tournament should not be an annual affair but semi-annual, and if possible, the Merit Badge Exposition of 1928 should be repeated in 1930, as I believe this was the most spectacular event Chickasaw council ever advocated. There have been numerous other activities of the individual troops, but these activities have been fully discussed in other reports and I see no need of going into them at this time. Chickasaw council had one :r;epresentative at the world Jamboree held in Birkenhead., En.gland, when it should have had several, but I believe that our failure to have more than one scout attend was possibly due to the lack of education on the part of the parents of our scouts, and this education cannot be had with the present limited budget of the Council, but if it were possible to increase the bul.get of the publicity committee, I believe that we would find ourselves amply repaid by the increased interest on the pa.rt of the families of the scouts.· In general, I wou.ld say that the troops are in the best condition that they have eve.r been but that there is still room for improvement.

OF CAMP CU-RR I ER C 0 M M I T T E E I During the past year camp Currier has been used very much more than in any previous year of its history, despite the fact that only one special day, the Saturday following the close of the Memphis public schools last June, was made a big day for all scouts. During the summer vacation only four days passed without scouts being at camp. Jf The total scout-day attendance for the year was 1,941, more than wice as large as any previous record, indicating that the normal use of this wilderness camp attracts more scouts than can be secured even when extraordinary inducements are used to increase the attendance. The total of other visitors was 874. The Committee is very grateful to Mrs. Elizabeth B. currier for 1 the splendid financial help that she has given us this year. Mrs. Currier j has donated $600.00 for the use of the camp and this money has been of tre' mendous help in carrying on the many activities of the camp. Without it the program would have been seriously handicapped and we deeply appreciate her splendid generosity. This year the camp has suffered no damage from fire or otherwise; its use as an asylum for wild life is better respected and is becoming popular with the local community; and the only serious personal injury during the year was an accidental lick inflicted in play that resulted in a cut on the head which did not go through the scalp. The scout was given immediate First Aid treatment and suffered no ill effects. In 1928 cabin-building had practically come to a standstill., whereas in 1929 two cabins whose construction had been lagging were completed, four new ones have been begun and finished, two others have been started, and the felling of trees for.cabin material has been commenced by four troops. There are now eight completed cabins on the camp, owned by Troops 5, 16, 19, 25, 29, 33, 34, and 41. The program of the year at Camp currier has aroused more interest than ever before as is evidenced by the larger number of scouts participating in camp activities. This should warrant a more portentious schedule for the coming year. That is, more activities should be encouraged outside of th~ work in constructing cabins and making other improvements. It is the plan of the camp director to increase the scope of these activities as fast as the boys can be lead to take up all lines of real backwoods pursuits. As reco~~~-~-~c;l in. th&·G&mf»-G.ommittee__~p.~t of 1928, a truck has been purehas-ed-wnfoh is capable of carrying conifortably--t'w-en-ty.,.five boys to camp.

REPORT OF CAMP CURRIER COMMIT1IEE (Continued) item which has been of material help is the fact that there is a hard-surface road all the way up to and around the oval at camp headquarters. This has enabled many people to go to camp who otherwise would not have attempted it. Recommendations for 1930 are as follows: ~of a lake or at least. .-a---swfiiiilli~g ~~()1;-., ~.:., _______ .--·· ... ·' .,/_,,-· 2. The digging of two wells, in the remote sections of the camp so that troops will be supplied with drinking water without having to come to headquarters for it. 3. A shower bath should be installed with all boys given the privilege of its use. 4. A substantial fence should be built entirely around the camp in order to prevent the property from being overrun with the stock of neighboring people. (' 5. All troops not having cabins should be encour~ged to build a cabin during 1930 so that each troop can have its own head.quarters in camp. Respectfully submitted, CAMP CURRIER COMMITTEE page 4.

Assisted in holding buck the crowds from the line of march at the Spirit of Christmas Parade. page 5. REPORT OF CIVIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE (Continued) we want particularly to call attention to the splendid work the boys did in the distribution of fifty thousand cards for the City Health Department. This required every troop in the city to particip~te and was one of the biggest civic good turns in the history of the Council. Also the boys received rm.ch praise for the work done as PB.i%es during the meeting of the Bar association. · For 1930 we recommend that scouts do every civic good turn they can and that these bo;ws be taught in word and deed that 11 scouting is a spirit which entering into a boy creates a desire for self-irr;>rovement, elevating his thoughts, purifying his purposes and ennobling him with the in$piration of service above self. n Respectfully su:bmitted, CIVIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE page 6.

AlOOAL MEETING, DECEW3ER 12, 1929. * * * * REPORT OF INTER-RACIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE your comnittee is indeed pro'\.'.d of the work accomplished with negro boys this year. 1928 was the first year that the privileges of scouting were given to these boys by Chickasaw Council, two troops being organized during that year. In 1929, four troops were organized so that the council now has six troops which are doing splendid work. The Executive Board has authorized four additional troops and these are now in process of organization. '.Lhe population of Chickasaw council area is 32% negro and your committee feels it unwise to withhold scout training from so large a number of human beings whose character development it is not only our duty to encourage but to our very distinct interest as well. We are very proud of the re cord these boys have ma.de and also of the fact that there has never been the slightest conflict between negro scouts and white scouts here or elsewhere in the sou1\l!.. your committee believes training is essential for the negro man to become a scoutmaster and we recomnend that in 1930 training schools for them be given due emphasis and that we give our negro leaders all the help we can.

A • .ANNU.b.L MEE TING, DECEEBER 12, 1929 * * * * 0 F I.A.MP KIA KIMA COMMITTEE The attendance at Kamp Kia Kimat s 14th season was a disappointment, as only 180 boys attended. the camp as compared to 211 in 1928. This lack of attendance caused the ca1,1p to lose i>1oney, the deficiency being $432. 72. This was taken care of through funds provided by the Memphis cornmuni ty Fund. F:very effort was made to conserve our money and we spent only $541.79 for equipment in 1929 as compared to $65.7. 43 spent in 1928. The camp now has a splendid stone hospital which :was completed before the beginning of the camping season this year and which was used for the first time this season. This hospital was built accord.in~ to plans drawn by Dr. J. c • .Ayres, a member of the ca.aping QorrLnittee who has worked long and faithfully for the advancemE;n t of Kamp Kia Kima. The hospital overlooks the river front and is very advantageously located. :rt is screened thoroughly, has running water and a shower bath~ The hospitai was equipped with two hospital beds, the gift of the Gartley-Ramsay ·Hospital, an e:xainination table, the gift of the ]aptist Hospital through Mr. George D. Sheats, Superintendent, and a centrifuge, donated by Mr. Ed. Mercere of Gwinner Mercere' co. This building has long been needed at camp and we are deeply indebted to the gentlemen who have worked so faithfully to build and equip this splendid addition to our camp. The health of the camp was very good throughout the season with the exception of a few cases of malaria. The camp doctor feels certain that all malaria was brought to camp as all boys havi~g the disease had been treat~ ed for it before their arrival at camp. Four· times during the season boys oil·ed all the old stumps, sloughs, and standing water within the radius of one-half a mile of the camp, which was a very efficient method of preventing mosquitos. There were only two accidents of any importance, one boy being bitten by a snake and one staff member being injured in a fall. Kamp Kia Kima is provided with Antivenin, which is the only known specific for snake poison, and this prevented any injurious effect to the boy who was bitten by the copperhead, as the camp doctor administered this medicine immediately after the accident. A tennis court was built at carup this year and this provided one of the. most popular activities in ca.mp. It was constantly used by the boys and they derived much pleasure from it. The camp headquarters which was given to Chickasaw Council through the generosity of Mr. Edward M. Salomon last year, proved of tremendous help to the director and all the boys in camp, as it provided a place for the library, a reception room for visitors and adequate space for the director• s office, the camp bank, and the camp commissary, page 13.

The various members of the committee have inspected the stock of scou. t supplies carried by the three outfitters, The New Brys, J. Goldsmith and sons, and Phil A.

Also the members of the. committee have inspected the scout equipment displayed by the outfitters and are glad to report that the three stores are cooperating in displaying scout uniforms and equipment to advantnge. one appli·cation to ·be the official scout ou.tfi tter has ·been received by the committee from Oak Hall, but your committee deemed it wise to confine the sale of scout supplies to the thr~e outfitters who have been serving the council in the past, so long as these stores follow the instructions laid down in the council constitution and cooperate with the council. For 1930 ·Wfl recomr;iend that the conr:iittee inspect each outfitter at least quarterly to ascertain the amount Of supplies carried, the displays made in the stores of these supplies, and the displays made in the windows by each store. we also recomr:~nd that the comi::llttee request each outfitter to present a full window of scout supplies and equipment at least once each quarter.

ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER 12, 1929. * * * * REPORT· OF PUBLICITY COMMITTEE your corr.mittee reports that during 1929 the Memphis press scimitar has given exce.llent cooperation by rurming a quarter-page known as THE SCOUT PRESS-SCIMITAR once each week, This page is widely read by scouts and scout officials and is of much help to Headquarters in informing the various troo~ps of the different activities in the council. The Memphis Evening Appeal has also splendidly cooperated by giving us news stories and also in donating a cup for the Inter-Troop Rally contest. This cup has been of much interest to the scouts, has stimulated activities very materially, and we want to thank the Evening Appeal for their generosity and help. The commercial Appeal has cooperated with Headquarters to some extent in that they have given us some news stories and also put pictures of carrv activities at Kamp Kia Kima in the Rotogravure Section of the Sunday paper. Headquarters has published weekly a publication known as THE CO'IB~CIL FIRfu, and this is of much help to all of the troops inasmuch as it enables the Executive to express to the scoutmasters the activities planned for the council. 'lhis publication at prE•sEmt is sent only to scoutmasters, Assistant scoutmasters, Chairmen of Troop committees and Chairmen of standing comrnittees. . scouts have aided the comm.mi ty FUnd by putting on scouting demonstrations and first aid as publicity stunts during the spring campaign, This attracted quite a good deal of favorable comment from the people who witnessed these events. For the year 1930, we recommend: 1. That special efforts be made to secure additional space in newspapers and that editorials, news i terns and other publicity features be used whenever possible, 2, That the circulation of 11THE COUNCIL FIRE" be enlarged to take in the pastors of all the churches and other institutions sponsoring scout troops as well as all council members, Merit Badge counselors and other adult leaders assisting in the work of the council. 3. That more money be made available in the 1S2io budget for publicity. page 17. I 1 BEFORT OF PUELI CI TY COMMITT:E]L.(_Con tinued) 4.

This magazine is of tremendous interest to boys and it has been materially improved and developed during the past year. The books received at Kamp Kia Kima this season were by far superior to a.ny library which the camp has enjoyed in the past. The cossitt Library has been of much help to us in arranging the selection of these books and we want to thank them for their splendid cooperation. under the new registration plan for scouters, all adult leaders connected in any capacity with the scout movement will pay a registration fee of $1. 00 per year and will receive the magazine 11 SCOUTING" after the council Charter is renewed in 1930. This should be of material help in assisting the leaders of the Council to keep informed of the progress and development of the movement. our council members will not receive "SCOUTING" until July 1, 1930 unless they desire to pay a registration fee of $1.00 for the year ending June 30, 1930. we recommend: l. That each council member send one dollar to the scout Executive to be used in registering himself as a scouter and so receive the magazine from now until July l, 1930. 2. That in 1930 the Reading committee exerts every effort to make 11 EOYS LIFE" available to all boys and especially scouts and that the committee makes definite plans toward this end. 3. That any member of the council having a surplus of good books donate them for the library at camp currier which is gradually growing though at present extremely small.

This is the first report of the sea Scout comnittee as your committee was authorized by the new constitution that went into effect January 1, 1929. we believe sea scouting is one of the best means of holding the older boy in the Scout movement, as the sea scout program is built for older boys, that is from fifteen years of age and above. Chickasaw council now has two ships of sea Scouts, the $. s. Sv Kia Kima and the s.s.s. Decatur. We believe Memphis offers splendid opportunities for sea Scouting but that it will be necessary for the council to have a boat before sea scouting will ever approach the efficiency it should have. Numerous efforts have been made to secure a boat and w~. Edward M. salomon has generously agreei to pay the freight and overhauling charges on a boat whenever the council can secure one from the Navy Department. .A. number of efforts have been made to get a suitable boat but on account of _the poor condition of all the boats available they have been rejected. we are still working to secure a boat as we feel it will be of mu.ch help towards the training, of our older boys and in keeping them active in scouting. For 1930 we recommend: 1. That a boat at least thirty feet long be secured for use of sea scouts under the direction and control of the Council through the Scout Executive. 2. That at least $500.00 be provided in the Coun·cn budget for Sea Scouting. 3. That at least two additional sea scout troops be organized and that additional ships be formed whenever facilities are available.

A • .ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER 12, 1929. * * * * REPQRT O F TR.AINI NG COMMITTEE The Training comrni ttee reports that during the year 1929 there has been a great emphasis put on training of our scoutleaders, as we feel that training is extremely important if the boys are to receive the full benefits of Sc.outing from the leaders. The Minimum course of the Five Year Training Program was given to twenty-one men and seventeen of these men completed the course and received t:1eir certificates. This was a very splendid course and was of material help to tho men who attended. commissioner Ross A. Mathews acted as Scoutmaster for the Training School, assisted by Willard E· Hays, Assistant scoutmaster, District commissioner William. G. Hall as scribe, Deputy Commissioner Allen Hughes, Jr., senior Patrol Leader, and Ben ]arry Coffey, Jr., scoutmaster of Troop 1, Joe FlaI1agan, scoutmaster of Troop 3, and Arnold Houston, scoutmaster of Troop 50, as Patrol Leaders. rr.ti.ese men did splendid work in their respective places and the Coui1cil is indebted to them for their help. We are also indebted to the y. M. c. A. for their courtesy in allowing us their fti.cilities as well as a room for a meeting place for the school. The Y. M. c • .A. has always been of much help to us in conducting our training schools. Under the leadership of scoutmaster ]en Coffey of Troop 1, a First Aid course was conducted with twelve scou tleaders and seven scouts enrolled. Nine of the scou tleaders received certificates and three scouts were t.Wardod cards by the American Red cross. This course is a Specialization Course and also applies on the Five Year Training Program for scoutleaders. Mr. Coffey is due special recognition from the council for his work in these and other training courses, as he has done especially well and has been of tremendous help in the entire training program. Scoutmaster Ben Coffey is now conducting a Specialization course in ]ird study and also in Astronomy. These courses will be of much help to our scoutleaders, as these courses will also apply on the Five Year Training program. The corrraittee has also conducted a training course for negro Scoutleaders which was directed by J. A. Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities. Thirty-four men attended this course at various times and seventeen men received eight hours or more of training. This was of much help to the negro leaders, as they are extremely interested and desired all the help they could receive. J. A. Beauchamp is very efficie~t in his work with negro leaders and in conducting the training school. page 21. REPORT OF TRAINING COMMITTEE (Continued) For 1930 we recomr~end that training schools be conducted for scoutleaders and that Specialization Courses be given, as· we feel that this will continue the good work which has been done during the past year. Trained leadership mea.~s efficient scoutmasters and we therefore urge that emphasis be placed on the training program for the 1930 activities. Respectfully submitted, TB.A.IN ING COMMITTEE BY page 22. CHICKASAW COUHCIL, B. S. A • .ANNUAL MEET ING, DECEMBER 12 I 19~9. * * * * REPORT OF TROOP ORGA~IZATION COMMITTEE your Committee reports that during the year ep.ding December l, 1929 there were ten troops of white boys and four troops of negro boys organized. Chickasaw Council now has fifty-one troops of white boys and six troops of negro boys, a total of fifty-seven troops. This is a gain of 23.9% 1 inasmuch as the Council had only forty-six troops last year, forty-four of which were wh~te and two colored. The .white troops organized this year are as follows: Troop 15 - Bellevue :Baptist Church Troop 3? • Springdale Methodist Church Troop 39 - First United Lutheran Church Troop 41 - Hernando, Mississippi Troop 42 - .Eastern Heigh.ts Baptist Church Troop 44 - Olive ]ranch, Mississippi Troop 48 - Southside Methodist Church Troop 53 - National Avenue Baptist Church Troop 57 - Horn Lake, Mississippi Troop 59 - Capleville Baptist Church The four negro troops organized are as follows: Troop 102 - Metropolitan Baptist Church Troop 103 - Mount Olive Q. M. E· Church Troop 104 - Mount Pisgah c. M. E· Church Troop 105 - Gospel Temple :Baptist Church Your committee is glad to report that steady progress has been made in organizing troops in the Baptist Churches of Memphis. In 1928 there were only two troops sponsored by :Baptist Churches in the council ~rea, but at the close of this year we have eight troops sponsored by Baptist Churches, four page 2~.· REPORT OF TROOP' ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE (Continued) of wnich were organized this. year, and two troops being transferred from the sponsorship of other institutions to :Baptist Churches. we are ma.king every effort to organize troops in some of the larger Baptist Churches which have never sponsored troops and we feel confident that in another year the percentage of Baptist Churches sponsoring troops will compare favorably with the other denominations. In addition to the white troops above mentioned, troops have been organized in two·negro ~aptist Churches, making a total of three negro ~roops in Baptist Churchesf your comtnittee is proud of this record and we recommend that continual effort be put on the organization of troops in Baptist Churches in 1930. We are ·also glad to report that the number. of troops outside of Memphis proper has· been increased from eight in 1928 to thirteen in 1929. we recommend that the Troop organization comnittee makes especial efforts in 1930 to extend the privileges of scouting to the boys in the council Area outside of Memphis. · For 1930 ·we recommend that at least ten new troops be organized for wnite·boys and that new troops be organized for colored boys whenever in the judgment of the president of the council and the Executive Board the colored institutions are capable of supporting scout troops.

ANNUAL l1iEETING, DECEMBER 12, 1929. * * * * R E P 0 R T 0 F S CO UT E XE.CU T I V E On December 1, 1929, Chickasaw council had fifty-one troops of white boys ai1d six troops of negro boys, a total of fifty-seven troops as compared to forty-four troops of white boys and two troops of negro boys last year, a net gain of eleven troops or 23.90fa. This is the largest number of active troops our council has ever had and if present plans are carried out we should easily have seventy troops by the end of 1930, a most encouraging outlook for our future growth. In 1928 only two of our troops were sponsored by :Baptist Churches, but this year, through the efforts bf M;r. Jack Gates, six additional churches have sponsored troops and we now have eight troops in :Baptist Churches • . It has been our policy to organize new troops with the minimum number. of eight boys and let them· gradually increase rather than to attempt to start with a large number of boys. This has proven a very satisfactory policy in that it has insured troop permanency. However, it has somewhat retarded our growth in numbers. we now have 1,238 scouts as compared to 1,137 last year, a gain of .Bfb. The national average of scouts per troop is 21.2 while our average is 21.7, so even though our gain in numbers has been small we are still somewhat better than the average. In 1930 our average of scouts per troop should be materially increased, for recruiting is constantly going on and the new troops organized this year will soon be recruited up to the average number. our troops are enjoying splendid leadership and every troop has an active adult leader directing its program. Two troops are being led by adult Assistant Scoutmasters who are carrying on during the absence from the city of the scoutmasters; one troop is being led by an Assistant Scoutmaster who will shortly be commissioned as scoutmaster and one troop is being led by a member of the Troop cormnittee (who was formerly scoutmaster), until a new scoutmaster can be secured. The remaining !ifty-three troops have scoutrilasters in charge. From this it will be seen that every troop is enjoying good leadership and I want to take this opportunity to express to the scoutmasters and the Assistant scoutmasters of Chickasaw council my sincere appreciation of their splendid help and cooperation in all the activities of the Council during the past year. This year our scouts have been extremely active in community service and they have done numerous civic good turns which are well worthy of mention. Their biggest job was the distribution of fifty thousand cards giving directions for the control of mosquito breeding. ]]Very troop in MeII!Phis was needed for this work which was under the direction of Dr, L· M. Graves of the Department of Health. our boys did this job and did it well. During the meeting of the American Bar Association, scouts served as pages. Through the courtesy of professor R· L· Jones, each scout page was released from school page 25. REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (continued) for the day he served. During the first week of the meeting ten boys were on duty each day and for the second week thirty boys were used each day, so that more than two hundred scouts from the different troops in Memphis helped in this good turn. our boys have also done many other forms of civic service in distributing posters for the Shelby Council Anti-Tuberculosis society, helping the community Fund, directing traffic at the Dedication of the I'tfu.nicipal Airport, controlling the crowds during the Spirit of Christmas parade, as well as numerous other good turns which required .but a few boys. I feel sure every man in the council is proud of this record of service to the community. The camp program has been very successful and more boys have had the benefit of learning nature's secrets through living in the great out-ofdoors tha.~ ever before. At Kamp Kia Kima the attendance was slightly smaller than last year but the boys thoroughly enjoyad themselves. At Camp currier the attendance was niore than doubled and the boys are ming this camp in increasing numbers. Our two camps are of tremendous benefit to our boys and we should feel proud of our camp equipment. The greatest need we have in our camping program is swimming facilities at car:ip currier. A lake is badly needed but until such a time as funds are available for its construction I feel sure we should provide some sort of swimming pool for the boys. This feature will attract hundreds of boys and will give the camp a tremendous added attraction. Our indoor program ho.s also been tremendously successful, as the inter-troop rally tournrunent which has been running for about three months has been the means of helping many troops to learn their weaknesses in scouting technique and has brought them to a much higher standard of efficiency. These rallies have been splendidly handled by commissioner Mathews and the District commissioners and have been the source of tremendous interest among the boys. Early in 1930 we plan to have the finals of the tournament at the Auditoriura and this should be a big event in the new year. We are .indebted to the "Memphis EVening Appeal" for the silver loving cup which will be awarded to the winner. The council is indebted to Commissioner Ross .A.. Mathews, Mr. Willard Hays, Mr. William G. Hall, Mr. Allen Hughes, Jr., Mr. :sen :s. Coffey, Mr. Joe Flanagan, and ~~. Harry Myers for the splendid work they did in the training school for scoutleaders, as the school wns of mu.ch help to the men who took the training. The council is also indebted. to far. :Ben Coffey for his splendid w9:r;k in leading a specialization course in First Aid. · ScaQting among negro boys is progressing slowly but surely. In 1929 four troops of negro boys were organized so that we now have six troops in the council. The Executive Board has authorized the addition of four more troops ond these are now being organized. I am glad to say there has been no objection to the use of the scout program by the negro boys by any of our white Scoutleaders or scouts and there has not been the slightest friction between white and negro scouts. At the Inter-National Jamboree which was held in :Birkenhead, England, our council was represented by scout William Robert Neill, Jr. we page 26. REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) planned to have patrol to attend this Jamboree but owing to our financial situation only one boy was able to go and he had to pay his own expenses. Through the splendid work of our officers and the Executive Board as well as the wembers of the various comr::d.tt~es, our council has made considerable progress during the past year~ a.."'1.d. I want to take this opportunity to express to these gentlemen my deep and sincere appreciation for the splendid cooperation and help that they have given me in everything that has been done. Many demands have been· ma.de for time that some of our r!lembers could ill afford to give, l.llld I want to thank you all for the thought you have given, sacrifices you have made, and the real work that has been done that the council r.Jight give to our boys every opportunity to becorrie better citizens through the L1anifold ad.vantages Of Scouting. vi. 4. 7. In planning the work of the COJ.ncil for 1930 I recomnend: That special emphasis be placed on the training of leaders and that two training schools for wh.ite leaders and one for negro leaders be conducted., That a lake be built at camp Currier. I feel confident that attendance will more than double when swinoing facilities are available at the camp and I believe a lake will stimulate not only the boys but will create i~creased interest in scouting araong the parents and the supporting constituency of the council. That oore boys be recruited in our various troops and that fifteen new troops be organized. That a budget of $20,000.00 for council operation be made available. Our council has been handicapped for a number of years through lack of f1111ds and in discussir;.g our budget with national officers I find they are unanir.iously agreed that $20,000.00 is the mininum budget required for real progress in a council the size of ours. That we have a i:1eri t badge exposition si::1ilar to the one held in 1928 provided our financial cor~di tion will pernit. That we r.'.laintain high sta;.1dards in all events involved in scouting technique and especially in the award of merit badges. This r:-iay result in a fewer nusber of i:,eri t badges being taken but will improve and build up the quality of scouting among our boys. That Sea Sco-~ting be given a higher place in the Council's activities a;.id that a boat be provided for the use of our sea scout Ships. 8. That we give the advantages of the scout program to negro boys whenever and wherever troops can be organized under proper leadership and supervision. page 27. REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Continued) 9. Thnt every effort be oode through educational publicity and other ~.<eons to educe: te the public at large and especially the heads of churches and other institutions which i:U.ght sponsor scout troops, as to the values of scout training. 10. That all r:i.e•;:ibers of the council rJDke a sustained effort to secure r.1011 whor.1 they consider fit candidates for positions of leadership in troops and on the council. scouting is a vital force in our corx.mni ty and is trew.endously helpful as a supple1:1e11t to the work of the churches. With the support of our Council l1ieubers and other scoutleaders, there is no doubt but what we will go forw-':1I'd in 1930, and I earnestly ask your continued cooperation in 'Jaking scou tL1g available to the boys of the council .Area. page 28.

On Sattirday, Jt1ne 15th, the first camp fire \vill be lighted and for ten weeks following ' ·Eagle$ Nest' ' wi'II afford the opportunity of living close to Nature in one of the finest Scout Camps ih America. F or the second time in the fourteen years of its history the can1p has been awarded a Class "A" Certificate by the N at-ionaJ Department of Camping, Boy Scouts of Ameri.c a. This, the highest award, is given because of tl1e exceptional advant ages, both in leadership ancl prograrn, which Kia Kima enjo-y·s. LocatioTI_;, Chickasaw Council owns the 166 acres of r.u gged woodland in the foothills of the Ozarks three miles from I-lardy, Ark., on \Vhich Kia Kima is located. The camp is· built on a bluff overlooking the beautiful Soutl1 Fork of Spring River on a site which is ideal for camping, as it is l1igh, \veil drained and free from mosqt1itoes. Owing to the height of the bluff there is no danger from high \Vater at any season of the year. Numerous arrowheads found in the vicinity indicate tl1is spot was used as a permanent camp by th·e Indians \Vho formerly .inhabited the reg~on. Leadership The C·amp Staff for 1929 is composed of outstanding leaders in Scouting and Camping, and the Cpuncil is very fortunate in having secured such exceptional leadership. Will.ard E. Hays, District Co1n·missione1· of Chickasaw Council .and a veteran in Scouting, will be the Camp Director. H e is a gradt1ate of the Camp Leaders Training Scl1ool and under his able supervision the camp sho.u ld have one of the best years in its history.

The staff p ersonnel is exceptional and assures a wo11derf ul vacation to every Scout \vho goes to Kia Kim a. 1 ' �\ Waiting for ··siuimming" to Blou;. C-Water Sports 5 ,,·in1ming is the most popular of the many acti\rities of camp life. The cool , clear \vaters of the South Fork are of just the right temperatu re to make bathing delightfull y exhilaratin g and the big, sandy beach is within a stone's throw of Headquart ers. "E\ ery Scout A Swim·m er" is a Kia Kima slogan of many years standing and each boy is sho\vn ho\v to take care of himself in the \Vater. Every precaution is taken to insure safety and S\\limming is not permitted except during the regular S\\l'imming periods \Vhen expert Life Guards are on duty·. T he ''Buddy S ystem,·· recommend ed b y the National Departmen t of Camp ing, is used. Scouts are reqL1ired to ente.r the \vater in pairs and to sta1· close enough to touch each other during the entire time they are in the \\rater. This is a splendid safety· measure as each boy is constantlj' on the lool<o1..1t for the welfare of his ''Buddy." An area in shallow \Vater is roped off for non-s\vim111ers and boys just learning to S\Vim. These bo-y·s are taught how to S\vim by· Life Guards and each boy· must demonstra te his ability to swim fifty· yards before being allo ,,·ecl in deep \vater. During the summer a number of aquatic n1eets \vill be held and the Scouts are afforded plenty of opportunit ies to engage in canoe tilting, water polo, S\Vi111ming races, canoe races, and other events which help to rnal<.e camping the i<..ieal vacation . 1 • • • \'(!lien the Bugler Ends the Suspense. �eanoei ng • .

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

C-Water Sports 5 ,,·in1ming is the most popular of the many acti\rities of camp life. The cool , clear \vaters of the South Fork are of just the right temperatu re to make bathing delightfull y exhilaratin g and the big, sandy beach is within a stone's throw of Headquart ers. "E\ ery Scout A Swim·m er" is a Kia Kima slogan of many years standing and each boy is sho\vn ho\v to take care of himself in the \Vater. Every precaution is taken to insure safety and S\\limming is not permitted except during the regular S\\l'imming periods \Vhen expert Life Guards are on duty·. T he ''Buddy S ystem,·· recommend ed b y the National Departmen t of Camp ing, is used. Scouts are reqL1ired to ente.r the \vater in pairs and to sta1· close enough to touch each other during the entire time they are in the \\rater. This is a splendid safety· measure as each boy is constantlj' on the lool<o1..1t for the welfare of his ''Buddy." An area in shallow \Vater is roped off for non-s\vim111ers and boys just learning to S\Vim. These bo-y·s are taught how to S\vim by· Life Guards and each boy· must demonstra te his ability to swim fifty· yards before being allo ,,·ecl in deep \vater. During the summer a number of aquatic n1eets \vill be held and the Scouts are afforded plenty of opportunit ies to engage in canoe tilting, water polo, S\Vi111ming races, canoe races, and other events which help to rnal<.e camping the i<..ieal vacation . 1 • • • \'(!lien the Bugler Ends the Suspense. eanoei ng • .

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

While travelling through your city, rrw car was struck by another. The windshield broke, cutting me badly. A young man descended from a street car and rendered first aid. Had it not been for him I am sure I would have lost considerable blood. He bound my cuts as well as an experienced doctor. He sa:ys he learned first aid in the Scouts. I offered him. sev.eral d.ollars which he politely refused. The young man was a big, husky young chap and is a fine example of Scout training. Let me take this opportunity of heartily endorsing the Boy Scout movement. It is raising the boys of .America in the ideals of public service. It is a wonderful organization. Very truly yours, L. c. Morrels, Ohio. Cleve~~ **** *** ** ************************ * **** Life Scout Eill Dellarrw of Troop l rendered the service mentioned in the above letter. He gave first aid as his Daily Good Turn and did not report the., accident to his Scoutmaster or to Scout Headquarters. He "did the job as a Scout should; efficiently, quietly and without bragging about his accomplishment.

A. ANlIDAL MEETING, D3JCEMBER 5, 1930 **** REPORT OF .ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The Activities Committee is proud of the work which has been accomplished during the past year. We feel that the Council is indeed. fortunate in having such a splendid group of men who are actively serving with the troops. Every troop has a Scoutmaster and a large majority of them have one or more Assistant Scoutmasters. This has resulted in the boys participating very actively in all Cou;.1cil activities. The Inter-Troop Rally Tournament which ran for ~b,ut three months in 1929 and 30 has proved a tremendous success. In this to ment the troops are divided up into leagues, each league having an In ian name. The rallies are run on schedule and each rally contains a number of Scouting events such as Inspection, O'Gracy Drill, First Aid, Fire by Flint and Steel, Semaphore Signalling, Knot Tying, and Morse Signalling. Participation of troops in these rallies has resulted in an increased stimulation in the technique of Scouting and we feel that much good has resulted from these rallies. Another Inter-Troop Ra.lly Tournament will start on December 12th and will run well into the new year. The Activities Committee has had a great deal of help from a splendid group of men who are serving as District Commissioners and as referees for rallies. All the leagues in the Inter-Troop Rally Tournament with one exception are supervised by District Corrmissioners. We now have a Commissioner, a Deputy Commissioner, and eight District Commissioners actively working with the troops, whereas, last year had only one or two men who could be counted on to serve in the capacity of a District Comrnissioner"i. wo We feel that the general condition of the troops of Chickasaw Council is good. There aro some troops who are weak in Scouting technique and they consequently need nm.ch help from Headquarters and from the District Commissioners. Je therefore recommend that every effort be made. to continue to secui·e efficient men to serve as District Com.~issioners and that the Council follow up the plan of Intor-Troop Rallies from year to year. Respectfully submitted, ACTIVITIES COMMITT.EE Page 1. �CHICY:...1\.SAW COlniTCIL, :S. So Ao ANNUAL MEETJN'J:.1..J)ECEMBE.R 5. 1930 **** R E_.P 0 R T 0 F Your Conuni ttee Fur the past year the camp :ln1.1.omuch as there has been e;i·outer interest than ever CAMP CURRIE R C 0 MM I T T E E is proud of the splendid record of Camp Currier. has undoubtedly had the ber.t year in its history more bttllding of cabins, larger attendance, and before. As of December 1st, there are 15 complete cabins on the camp as compared to 8 cabins which were complete on December l~ 1929. These completed cabins are owned by Troops 5, 8, 15, 16, 19, 25, 27, 29, 33, 34, 40, 41 1 49, 50, and the Kelley Cabin which is owned by the Council.. Last year thore were only 5 cabins in course of constructio n, whereas, on this date we have 9 cabins on which the troops are buildingo 6 of these caoins were Gtarted this year. Troops 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 32, 38, 43, and 66 are working on cabins at the present time. All of these cabins, with the exception of Troops 9, 11, and 13 were started in 1930. We are very ple?-sed at the unuaual amount of building which has taken place in camp, especially in view of the depressed financial conditions which have existed for the last six 01· eight months. The equipment of the camp on December 1, 1930, therefo're, is the Headquarter s Cabin with pUinp house and garage, the old Burrows Cabin with stable and cistern, the Lone Stable and cistern, and the new Kelley Cabin and cistern, all of these being owned by the Council, together with 14 troop cabins complete and in use, and the 9 troop cabins in course of constructio n. Plans for the cabins of Troops 21 and 56 have been approved and these troops will undoUbtedly start work in t.he near futureo gre~test single improvement to the camp during the year was The the constructio n o;J~a swimming pool 60 feet wide and 120 feet long and 6! feet deep. It was dug in a valley near the central part of the ca1"1p and has the appearance of a natural pool rather than an artificial swimming pool. There is a continuous flow of spring water wi1ich results in its being kept unusually pure. Particular attention has been given to the prevention of accidents and there has not been a single accident during this year. 175 Black Bass Fingerlings were put in the stream which feeds the pool and good fishing should result within the next few years~ The attendance at camp has been the largest in its history due, we believe, principally to the swimming facilities provided by the pool. In 1930 there was a total.of 3,564 Scout days as compared to 1,941 last year, an increase of 83.6% in the nuinber of Scout dayso In 1930 1,327 people visited the c~p as compared with 874 ih 1929 or an increase of 51.8%0 One of the most important steps toward the welfare of the future of the camp was the starting of the Camp Currier lake Fund, which plan was originated by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier of Geneva, Switzerland . Mrs. Currier donated $300.00 toward this fund and it is the plan to keep it in the savings bank and add to it whenever donations are received. This fund has for its �REPORT OF CAMP CURRIER COMMITTEE (Continued) purpose the building of a dam across one of the valleys in the northwestern part of the camp. When this dam is constructed there will be a body of water formed of approximately 25 acreso We believe that this fund will continue to grow and we wish to express our deep appreciation to Mrs. Currier for the idea and also for her gonerosi ty in starting it. We are also indebted to Mrs •. Currier for many donations which she .has given to the camp from time to time, as her generosity has resulted in tremendous improvements of the car.1p. The problem of transportation has been solved to a large extent by making the program and attractions of the camp so alluring that the boys find wa;ys of their own to travel back and forth. Eternal vigilance and the presence of so many Scouts and visitors has reduced poaching so that it is no longer a serious menace and the people in the comraunity around the ca.~p have recognized the importance of this caDp preserve and have given it their ooral support and protection. Lack of wells to supply drinking water is one of the most desperate needs of the canp. Troops which are cnr.1ping at the northern end of ca.inp have approximately a mile to travel in order to get drinking watero Therefore, we recornr:i.end that at least two wells be constructed during 1931 so that troops may be supplied with drinking water without having to go to Headquarters for it. We also recoL~Jend that a substantial fence be built entirely around the cm~p and that the cooperation·of the neighbors owni~g adjoining land be secured~lding this fence. We further recor.~~end that all troops shall be encouraged to build cabins during 1931 so that eac:':l troop rJ.a.y have its own hone in the woods. We also recor~nend that every effort be r.18.de to secure the building of the dam so that our long hoped for lake may become a reality. Respectfully subnitted, CAMP CURRIER COMMITTEE :Sy£J.

They have done their work gladly, efficiently, and ~ith the true spirit of Scouting. Ever;y~ member of the Council should be proud of the record our boys have made. Some of their activities are as follows: 1. Distributed sixty thousand cards giving directions for the control of mosquito breeding for the Department of Health. This required all the troops in Mcmp:1is and was the largest single undertalci~g our Scouts have ever participated in. 2. Distributed posters for the h1em9his Community Flmd. 3. Packed and delivered baskets for the Good Fellows two days. 4. Eight Eagle Scouts served as pages to Governor Henry H. Horton on his visit to ?viemohis. 5. Four troops served as ushers at the Ellis Audi torium during the celebration of the return of the tvrn Confederate battle flag'S. 6.

Our Merit Eadge Counselors in Public Health have required Scouts to go to tho Department of noalth for inforw~tion and instruction before passing tht: Merit Bad{~e for Public Heal th. This has proved a soured of much help to the boys and. through them to the comrrnmity. We are particulady proud of the splendid work the bo;ys did in distributin::; the sixt3r thousand cu,rds for the Department of Health. T'.ais civic good turn required all the troops in the city in order that it could be done quickly and efficiently. .According to Dr. L. M.

DECEMBER 5, 1930 **** REPORT OF HEALTH AND SAFETY C 0 M M I T T :El E The Health and Safety Committee is glad to report that an exceptional record has been made by Scouts who attended Camp Currier, Kamp Kia Kirna., and Camp Daniels. There were no serious accidents at any of these camps and not a single boy was sent home on account of injuries received at camp. Not only were there no serious injuries but there was practically no sickness and no Scout was confined to a hospital for more than three days during the year. Three or four boys at Kamp Kia Kima suffered from malaria which we are confident they brought with them to camp from their homes. However, they responded very quickly to the treatment administered by Dr. George Burkle, Camp Physician, and were soon able to enjoy all the pleasure of camp, Many of our Scouts are cooperating in safety work by directing - traffic at the. various schools and in escorting safely across the streets the children who are going to school. This is not done as a Scouting activity but simply as a· help to the school authorities and the Chamber of Commerce. Our Scouts have added to the safety of many large gatherings of people by holding back the crow~s from the line of march of parades, etc. We feel that the boys have done much along this line. Jµ :our opinion, one of the greatest things they did during the year towards: protecting the health of tl1e entire city was the distribution of 60,000 cards. giving instruction on the prevention of mosquito breeding. Attached to, .tb'.is card was a post card directed to the Board of Health so that in.alt the homes in Memphis the people had information as to what to do to control mosquitoes and in the event t:hey were unable to handle it themselves;· 'they had the post card which they could send to the Board of Health and t~ereby receive immediate assistance from the city. These cards came back to the Board of Health throughout the mosquito season and were of much ass'i'stance in locating breeding places of mosquitoes. For 1931 we reconu'!lend that Scouts continue in their good work this year. have as they Respectfully submitted, HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE By ...' · ' . .~. fn L~ ~hf Chairman �CHICK.AS.AW CO'L":N'CIL, B.

ANNUAL MEETING, DECEhJ3ER 5, 1930 * * "' * BEFORT OF INTER-RACL\L ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Your Committee is ~lad to report that during.this year two new . troops of negro boys have been ori;a.n:i.zed.. We now have eight active troops • ... !• For t11e first time in ·the ·history of the ·CoUn:c11 a camp known as Camp Daniels was conducted for the benefit of negro boys. The site of the camp was in the northeastern section of Douglass Park, permission to use this ground being granted by the City Park.Commissio n. The camp was started on August 12th and cloBed on AUG11st. 17th with eighteen boys repr~' senting five churches in attendance. This camp site is very.good as it is close to Wolf River and the boys had plenty of sw'imming. Two of our white Scoutmasters, Mr. Ben B. Coffey of Troop l and Mr. c. c. Brown, Jr.~ of Troop 38, visited the camp and gave instruction in Bird Study and First Aid. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their camp which was under the direction of J. A. Beau.champ, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of InterRacial Activities. This camp was financed entirely by the institutions of colored people who are sponsoring Scout troops and did not cost Chickasaw Council one cent. In our opinion thin is a big step forward and we recommend another camp be held for the colored boys next year. Negro men are taking great interest in Scout training as is evidenced by the fact that 74 men attended the training schools conducted by the Council during this year. For 1931 we recorr.mend: l. That all First Class negro Scouts be permitted to wear the official uniform, as with Richmond, Va.• Hot Springs and Fort Smith, Ark., and many other Southern cities. 2. That the Council permit the organization of additional Scout troops other than the ten now authorized by the Executive 'Board. We feel there should be no restriction on the number of troops where full support a..."ld cooperation from a sponsoring institution is assured and the Scoutmaster has attended the necessary course of instruction.

Therefo re, ':le had to spend $1,057.7 0 for various kinds of equipme nt as co~yared to $541.79 in 1929.

There were 231.Merit Badges awarded to 143 Scouts. Two Senior and ten Junior Red Cross Life Saving certificates were awarded. For 1931 we recommend that every effort be ma.de to secure an even larGer attendance, as we feel that the attendance at camp is of tremendous benefit to the boys and throU&-11 them to the troop and to Scouting as a whole. Troops who camp are usually permanent troops and we want to lay especial stress on 8etting a larGer nTu~ber of boys to go to camp. We further recommend that funds be made ~vailable for the repairs whic~ are u.rsently needed at can~. M9.ny of the roofs of the lodges leak badly. The Mess Hall should be rescreened and there are several lo"dc;es which need new screens on them.

AN.I.iJU.AL l!JEETING, D:iliC:iiJMBER 5, 1930 **** \ REPORT OF OUTFITTERS COMMITTEE The various memb~rs of the Committee have inspected the stock of Scout supplies carried by the three Scout Outfitters; namely, The New Bry's, J. Goldsmith and Sons, and Phil A. Ho.lle, and found that they were adequate • .Also, the members of the Committee have found that Scout equipment is being displayed by the Outfitters to better advantage than in the past and that the throe stores are cooparating by giving publicity in their windows and in the stores by displaying Scout equipment. ' \ Ono of the most notable features of this display was the wonderful log cabin built by The New Bry 1s for the use of Scouts. This cabin was constructed on the second floor of the store, adjacent to the department w~ich sells Scout equipment. It is an ideal meeting place for Scouts and contains mn.ny objects of interest including a bulletin board, stuffed animals, snakeskins, horns, etc. It is of much interest to the boys and we feel that T,he New Bry 1 s and Mr. ~dWQrd M. Salomon are due especial credit for their splendid cooperation in constructing this building. It is one of the most unique displays ue have ever had the pleasure of seeing and ~e believe it has been a source of much help to Scouting. At various times during the year the question of allowing the negro boy to use the official Scout uniform has been called to our attention. On the recommendation of Mr. Stanley A. Ho.rria, National Director of Inter-&l.cial Ac ti vi ties, vrn have permitted the negro boys to purchase the Chieftain Camping uniform sold b~r Sears-Roebuck and Company. However, we do not believe this uniform has appealed to the boys and we do not believe it has been used to a very great extent. For 1931 we recommend that the Committee inspect the Outfitters at least quarterly to ascertain the amount of supplies carried, the displays made in tha stores of these su-pplies, and the displays made in the windows of each store. We also recommend that the Committee request each Outfitter to displa¥ a full window of Scout sup~lies and equipment at least once· each quarter. We also recorrnnend that the Outfitters be r~quired by the Corrnnittee to display their goods in the store in a conspicuous place and not have Scout equipment stored away out of sig.,.11.t of boys who come in to purc!lase.

Our Comnittee has been ha~dicapped through. the entire lack of funds, no money being allowed in the·budget to take care of Sea Scout activities. Numerous efforts have been made to secure a boat, but unfortunately, they have all been unsuccessful. The Council has dropped four troops of Scouts during the year 1930, two of which were Sea Scout Ships. We a·~e not proud of this record, but until such time as money is available for this program we do not see how it can be pushed to a very successful conclusion. One Sea Scout Ship has been organized during the year, the s.s.s. Bonita at the Galloway Memorial Methodist Church. 'l'hese boys also wanted a boat and when they discovered there was no money available from the Council for it they got busy and are now working on a 25 foot motor launch, the keel of which ~as laid in the Athletic Building at the Fair Grounds on October 28th. We are proud of the initiative shown by this ship under the leadership of Skipper C. B. Kennedy and we expect to cooperate with him in every way towards the completion of this boat. For 1931 we recommend: ..... 1. '!'hat at least $500.00 be provided in the Council budget for Sea Scouting. 2. That a boat at least 30 feot long be secured for the use.of Sea Scouts under the direction and control of the Council through the Scout Executive. 3. That additional Sea Scout troops be organized wherever practical and that the Sea Scout program be made available to as many of our older Scouts as possible.

We feel very proud of this, as there is no doubt in our mind that training of Scout Leaders is the keynote of successful troops. The Minimum Course of the 5 Year Training Program was given in~/ the spring to a class of 34 men, 20 of whom were awarded certificates. Immediately following this course the Approved Course was put on with 21 members, lS of whom received cert'ifieates. In the fall the Minimum Course was again given to our leaders with 32 members ta.~ing this training. In these two courses a total of 87 white leaders was given instruction in Scouting and they have been a very great benefit to these men. We are greatly indebted to the experienced Scout Leaders who have served as officers in these various .training schools: Messrs. Ross A. Ma.thews and R. G. Walls, Sr., have served as Scoutmasters of the schools; Messrs. George Klepper and L. R. Taylor were the Assistant Scoutmasters; Mr. Willard E. Hays was the Scribe; Mr. W. Gordon Morris was Senior Patrol Leader; and Mr. :Sen Coffey, Jr., Scoutmaster of Troop l, Mr. Joe Flanagan, Scoutmaster of Troop 3, Mr. Howard Pritchard, Scoutmaster of Troop 5, Mr. C. C. Brown, Jr., Scoutmaster of Troop 38, and Mr. James Fentress, then District Commissioner, served as Patrol Leaders. Messrs. Coffey and Flanagan have served in all three of the schools which were conducted. We are deeply indebted to the volunteer leaders who did such splendid work in giving freely of their time and effort toward helping the men who have not ·had as great experience in Scouting as they have. The Y. M. C. A. has cooperated with and assisted us tremendously by giving the use of a room in which to hold our training sessions. We deep~ ly appreciate their help and their splendid spirit of cooperation. The negro leaders of the Council have also been given training under the leadership of J. A. Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities. In the Training School in the spring 28 members composed the class, while the fall course had 46 members, a total of 74 negro leaders who received training during the year. This is a large step in the right direction and we feel it will mean much to the negro Scout troops of this Council. For 1931 we recommend that cont.inued emphasis be placed on. the training of Sco~t Leaders, also that Specialization Courses in First Aid and other subjects be given whenever practical.

During 1930 the Cou_,.1cil dropped five troops, h10 of which were Sea Scout Ships.

Wlien the time for reregistration came arou.11d all but one of the boys had been discharged from tho Sanitarium as cured and there were no boys, therefore, available to rer.egister the troop. Some of those boys have since joined other troops in the city, which is very pleasing to us. For 1931 we recommend that as many new troops be organized as the :mxecutive Board thinks is wise in view of the financial situation.

Our average as shown by the four reports of the Bureau is 58.5. The nearest average to us is that of Tullahoma, Tennessee, which has 56.0. Chickasaw Council is far in advance of the larger Councils of the Region, its nearest competitors being Birmingham with 53.5, Nashville 49.5, Little Rock 48.3, and New Orleans 45.0. In arriving at the figures above quoted, the Statistical Bureau takes in consideration the net gain in troops, the net number of dropped troops, new troops, lapsed troops, net gain. in Scouts, net dropped Scouts, new Scouts, Tenderfoot Scouts, First Class Scouts, and the ratio between Tenderfoot and First Class. Scouts have shoun a marked improvement in advancement this year, as last year only 65 boys won their First Class badges as compared to 114 this year, an increase of 6o%. In 1929, 746 merit badges were awarded by the Court of Honor, whereas, this year 1,150 were a~arded, an increase of 54.2%. 1929 shows only 8 boys attaining the ran...~ of Ea~le Scout; whoroas, this year we have 12 boys who have been awarded their Eagie Badges, by the The camping record of the Council is excellent, as will be noted below: figui~es CaIJ1P Attendance December 1 1 1930 December 1, 1929 Camp Currier, 3,564 Scout Days Kamp Kia Kima., 736 Scout Weeks Kamp Kia Kima, 269 Scouts 1,941 Scout Days 562 Scout Weeks 180 Scouts Gain 1,623 days or 83.6% 174 weeks or 30.9% 89 Scouts or 49.4% The large attendance at Camp Currier is due ma.inly, I believe, Page 23. �REPORT OF SCOUT EXi::iCUTIVE (Continue d) to the fact that a swimming pool ~w.s construct ed which e;ave the boys an opportunity to swim uithout having to go off the carr:p. The pool proved a tremendou s attractio n. I feel sure that as soon as a dam is built and a lake formed at Camp Currier the additiona l attractio ns of boating, fishing, and swimming will double the present number 9f boy days. I At Camp Currier we now have 15 complete cabins owned by various troops and 9 cabins in course of construct ion, ~horeas, on the first of December lo.st year we had only 8 complete cabins nith 5 others in course of const1~uction. The Carr:p Currier Lnkc Fund was started this year by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier of Geneva, Switzerla nd. Mrs. Currier donated $300.00 to the Fund and as additiona l contribut ions are received th.ey will be added to the Fund until suf'ficien t money is available to build the dam. The Council is indeed indebted to W~s. Currier for her splzndid idea and the many generous donations . At Kanrp Kia Kinn we had the pleasure of 1:w.v ing 56 boys from the St. Francis Valley Council with headquar ters at Blythevi lle, .i'.\.rkr.msas. We are glad to have had them with us and hope they ~vill return next year • .A.t both Ca.mp Currier and Kanp ICia !Cima the attendn.nc e has been by lonG odds the greatest in the history of the Cotincil. This is very encoura-:;ing , as I believe that troops who crurrp get the most out of Scouting and that they are as a uhole more permanent than troops who do not periodically eet in the great outdoors. The first negro Scout CD.mp ever held in Chiclr..asnw Council was conducted this year. It lasted but 5 days but was the beginning of v1hat should be a. permo.nent c.:trr:ping proQ~r:.::.m for ne~o Scouts. Next year I feel sure it will last at least 2 weeks. It undoubted ly helped not only the negro boys but the neg:ro men who attended. T'.ais year has also seen the greatest number of Sco.ut Leaders trained in the history of the Council. We used tho outline of the 5 Year Progressi ve Training Program approved by the National Council. We have had two Minimum Courses and one Approved Course for our r1hi t~ Scout Leaders and two Minimum Courses for tl1e negro Scout Leaders. The Coundl is greatly indebted to the followin~:; Scout Leadors who served in the Tri:.dning Courses: Messrs. Ross .A. Mathews and R. G. Walls, Sr., Scoutmas ters; Messrs. George Klepper and L. R. Taylor, Assistant Scoutmas ters; Mr. W. E. Hays, Scribe; Messrs. Ben B. Coffey, Jr., Joe Flanagan, Howard Pritchard , James Fentress, and C. C. Brown, Jr., Patrol Leaders, Messrs.

Harris, National Director of Inter-Rac ial Activ- ities. I am indeed glad to report that every troop in the Council is led by an efficient Scoutmas ter • . Page 24. no~ �BEPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Cont,~nued) T'nis year has seen a IrlD.rked improvement i~\ the Scout Leaders Round Table, the average attendance beinc-; about 60 Scout Load'ers. The Council is indebted to Mr. Walter Gray uho has so splendidly coope~ated throughout the year by preparint~ and se1"Vin:; without cost to the Council ~ splendid meal for the Round Table once each month. Mr. Grey does not receiv6, one cent of profit but through his interest in Scouting donates the tremendous amount of work necessary to :r:r.ake the Round Table a success. For the last 5 years Chickasaw Council has been tremendously handicapped by the lack of funds. This year our budget is $11,910.00 to cover the opsrations of 70 troops. In 1921, the Council budcet ~as $12,053.00 with only 18 troops on tho roll. The lack of ample finance retards the development of the Council, but in view of the existing financial situation throuehout the cotmtry I feel we have made splendid pro 1:;ress with the money available. Chickas~w Council could not have made the splendid record it has for this year had not the Officers and the Executive Board, the Council Members, the Members of the various Committees, Merit Bad,se Counselors, Scoutmasters and Assist~nt Scout:mo.sters cooperated at all times. Many demands for time have been made on so::ie of our Scouters .that the.y could ill afford to __ gtv:e, out they have helped whenever and 'rlherever they. could and I uant to ta1~e this opportunity to ·th~n..~ them for the thought they have given, the sacrifices they have made and the real 11ork that has been done that our Council mi(~11.t .. give to_our boys every op?ortunity to become better citizens through the nnnifold advantaees of Scouting. Without the help and cooporation of these gentlemen we would be far from the leading Council .in Region 5. In planning the work of tl1e Cou:acil fo~ 1931 I recommend: \ 1, That especial emphasis be placed on the trairting of leaders and that at least four trn.b.ing schools be conducted. 2. That a lake be built at Camp Currier. I feel th~ building of the dar:: and the formation of a lake from it uill be the greatest stimulus we could have at caup, as it will create a greater interest o.none; the boys and also among the supporting constituency of the Council. 3. That more boys be recrui tod in our troops and that 15 new troops be orc;anized. 4. That we have a Merit Badge Exi~osition similar to the one held in 1928 whenever financial conditions will permit. 5. That ~e r:Jaintain hish standards in all events involved in Scouting technique and especially in the award of merit badges. 6, That Sea ScoutinG be encouraGed and a boat be provided for the use of our Sea Scouts. 7. That we give the advantaJs of the Scouting program to ne&To boys whenever and i7herever troops can be or~anized with i:iroper leadership and supervision. Page 25. \ �RElPOil.T OF SCOUT EXECU'I'IVE (Continued) 8.

B. S. A. ANlIDAL MEETING, D3JCEMBER 5, 1930 * * * * REPORT OF .ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The Activities Committee is proud of the work which has been accomplished during the past year. We feel that the Council is indeed. fortunate in having such a splendid group of men who are actively serving with the troops. Every troop has a Scoutmaster and a large majority of them have one or more Assistant Scoutmasters. This has resulted in the boys participating very actively in all Cou;.1cil activities. The Inter-Troop Rally Tournament which ran for ~b,ut three months in 1929 and 30 has proved a tremendous success. In this to ment the troops are divided up into leagues, each league having an In ian name. The rallies are run on schedule and each rally contains a number of Scouting events such as Inspection, O'Gracy Drill, First Aid, Fire by Flint and Steel, Semaphore Signalling, Knot Tying, and Morse Signalling. Participation of troops in these rallies has resulted in an increased stimulation in the technique of Scouting and we feel that much good has resulted from these rallies. Another Inter-Troop Ra.lly Tournament will start on December 12th and will run well into the new year. The Activities Committee has had a great deal of help from a splendid group of men who are serving as District Commissioners and as referees for rallies. All the leagues in the Inter-Troop Rally Tournament with one exception are supervised by District Corrmissioners. We now have a Commissioner, a Deputy Commissioner, and eight District Commissioners actively working with the troops, whereas, last year wo had only one or two men who could be counted on to serve in the capacity of a District Comrnissioner"i. We feel that the general condition of the troops of Chickasaw Council is good. There aro some troops who are weak in Scouting technique and they consequently need nm.ch help from Headquarters and from the District Commissioners. Je therefore recommend that every effort be made. to continue to secui·e efficient men to serve as District Com.~issioners and that the Council follow up the plan of Intor-Troop Rallies from year to year. Respectfully submitted, ACTIVITIES COMMITT.EE Page 1. CHICY:...1\.SAW COlniTCIL, :S. So Ao ANNUAL MEETJN'J:.1 .. J)ECEMBE.R 5. 1930 * * * * R E_.P 0 R T 0 F CAMP CURRIER C 0 M M I T T E E Your Conuni ttee is proud of the splendid record of Camp Currier. Fur the past year the camp has undoubtedly had the ber.t year in its history :ln1.1.omuch as there has been more bttllding of cabins, larger attendance, and e;i·outer interest than ever before. As of December 1st, there are 15 complete cabins on the camp as compared to 8 cabins which were complete on December l~ 1929. These completed cabins are owned by Troops 5, 8, 15, 16, 19, 25, 27, 29, 33, 34, 40, 41 1 49, 50, and the Kelley Cabin which is owned by the Council.. Last year thore were only 5 cabins in course of construction, whereas, on this date we have 9 cabins on which the troops are buildingo 6 of these caoins were Gtarted this year. Troops 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 32, 38, 43, and 66 are working on cabins at the present time. All of these cabins, with the exception of Troops 9, 11, and 13 were started in 1930. We are very ple?-sed at the unuaual amount of building which has taken place in camp, especially in view of the depressed financial conditions which have existed for the last six 01· eight months. The equipment of the camp on December 1, 1930, therefo're, is the Headquarters Cabin with pUinp house and garage, the old Burrows Cabin with stable and cistern, the Lone Stable and cistern, and the new Kelley Cabin and cistern, all of these being owned by the Council, together with 14 troop cabins complete and in use, and the 9 troop cabins in course of construction. Plans for the cabins of Troops 21 and 56 have been approved and these troops will undoUbtedly start work in t.he near futureo The gre~test single improvement to the camp during the year was the construction o;J~a swimming pool 60 feet wide and 120 feet long and 6! feet deep. It was dug in a valley near the central part of the ca1"1p and has the appearance of a natural pool rather than an artificial swimming pool. There is a continuous flow of spring water wi1ich results in its being kept unusually pure. Particular attention has been given to the prevention of accidents and there has not been a single accident during this year. 175 Black Bass Fingerlings were put in the stream which feeds the pool and good fishing should result within the next few years~ The attendance at camp has been the largest in its history due, we believe, principally to the swimming facilities provided by the pool. In 1930 there was a total.of 3,564 Scout days as compared to 1,941 last year, an increase of 83.6% in the nuinber of Scout dayso In 1930 1,327 people visited the c~p as compared with 874 ih 1929 or an increase of 51.8%0 One of the most important steps toward the welfare of the future of the camp was the starting of the Camp Currier lake Fund, which plan was originated by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier of Geneva, Switzerland. Mrs. Currier donated $300.00 toward this fund and it is the plan to keep it in the savings bank and add to it whenever donations are received. This fund has for its REPORT OF CAMP CURRIER COMMITTEE (Continued) purpose the building of a dam across one of the valleys in the northwestern part of the camp. When this dam is constructed there will be a body of water formed of approximately 25 acreso We believe that this fund will continue to grow and we wish to express our deep appreciation to Mrs. Currier for the idea and also for her gonerosi ty in starting it. We are also indebted to Mrs •. Currier for many donations which she .has given to the camp from time to time, as her generosity has resulted in tremendous improvements of the car.1p. The problem of transportation has been solved to a large extent by making the program and attractions of the camp so alluring that the boys find wa;ys of their own to travel back and forth. Eternal vigilance and the presence of so many Scouts and visitors has reduced poaching so that it is no longer a serious menace and the people in the comraunity around the ca.~p have recognized the importance of this caDp preserve and have given it their ooral support and protection. Lack of wells to supply drinking water is one of the most desperate needs of the canp. Troops which are cnr.1ping at the northern end of ca.inp have approximately a mile to travel in order to get drinking watero Therefore, we recornr:i.end that at least two wells be constructed during 1931 so that troops may be supplied with drinking water without having to go to Headquarters for it. We also recoL~Jend that a substantial fence be built entirely around the cm~p and that the cooperation·of the neighbors owni~g adjoining land be secured~lding this fence. We further recor.~~end that all troops shall be encouraged to build cabins during 1931 so that eac:':l troop rJ.a.y have its own hone in the woods. We also recor~nend that every effort be r.18.de to secure the building of the dam so that our long hoped for lake may become a reality. Respectfully subnitted, CAMP CURRIER COMMITTEE :Sy£J. Page 3.

They have done their work gladly, efficiently, and ~ith the true spirit of Scouting. Ever;y~ member of the Council should be proud of the record our boys have made. Some of their activities are as follows: 1. Distributed sixty thousand cards giving directions for the control of mosquito breeding for the Department of Health. This required all the troops in Mcmp:1is and was the largest single undertalci~g our Scouts have ever participated in. 2. Distributed posters for the h1em9his Community Flmd. 3.

This has proved a soured of much help to the boys and. through them to the comrrnmity. We are particulady proud of the splendid work the bo;ys did in distributin::; the sixt3r thousand cu,rds for the Department of Health. T'.ais civic good turn required all the troops in the city in order that it could be done quickly and efficiently. .According to Dr. L. M.

CHICKASAW COUNCIL. B. S. A. Al'll:n:JAL MEETING. DECEMBER 5, 1930 * * * * REPORT OF HEALTH AND SAFETY C 0 M M I T T :El E The Health and Safety Committee is glad to report that an exceptional record has been made by Scouts who attended Camp Currier, Kamp Kia Kirna., and Camp Daniels. There were no serious accidents at any of these camps and not a single boy was sent home on account of injuries received at camp. Not only were there no serious injuries but there was practically no sickness and no Scout was confined to a hospital for more than three days during the year. Three or four boys at Kamp Kia Kima suffered from malaria which we are confident they brought with them to camp from their homes. However, they responded very quickly to the treatment administered by Dr. George Burkle, Camp Physician, and were soon able to enjoy all the pleasure of camp, Many of our Scouts are cooperating in safety work by directing - traffic at the. various schools and in escorting safely across the streets the children who are going to school. This is not done as a Scouting activity but simply as a· help to the school authorities and the Chamber of Commerce. ... · ' Our Scouts have added to the safety of many large gatherings of people by holding back the crow~s from the line of march of parades, etc. We feel that the boys have done much along this line. Jμ :our opinion, one of the greatest things they did during the year towards: protecting the health of tl1e entire city was the distribution of 60,000 cards. giving instruction on the prevention of mosquito breeding. Attached to, .tb'.is card was a post card directed to the Board of Health so that in.alt the homes in Memphis the people had information as to what to do to control mosquitoes and in the event t:hey were unable to handle it themselves;· 'they had the post card which they could send to the Board of Health and t~ereby receive immediate assistance from the city. These cards came back to the Board of Health throughout the mosquito season and were of much ass'i'stance in locating breeding places of mosquitoes. For 1931 we reconu'!lend that Scouts continue in their good work as they have this year. Respectfully submitted, HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE By ~hf.~. fn L~ Chairman ' . CHICK.AS.AW CO'L":N'CIL, B. S. A. ANNUAL MEETING, DECEhJ3ER 5, 1930 * * "' * BEFORT OF INTER-RACL\L ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Your Committee is ~lad to report that during.this year two new . troops of negro boys have been ori;a.n:i.zed.. We now have eight active troops • ... !• For t11e first time in ·the ·history of the ·CoUn:c11 a camp known as Camp Daniels was conducted for the benefit of negro boys. The site of the camp was in the northeastern section of Douglass Park, permission to use this ground being granted by the City Park.Commission. The camp was started on August 12th and cloBed on AUG11st. 17th with eighteen boys repr~' senting five churches in attendance. This camp site is very.good as it is close to Wolf River and the boys had plenty of sw'imming. Two of our white Scoutmasters, Mr. Ben B. Coffey of Troop l and Mr. c. c. Brown, Jr.~ of Troop 38, visited the camp and gave instruction in Bird Study and First Aid. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their camp which was under the direction of J. A. Beau.champ, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of InterRacial Activities. This camp was financed entirely by the institutions of colored people who are sponsoring Scout troops and did not cost Chickasaw Council one cent. In our opinion thin is a big step forward and we recommend another camp be held for the colored boys next year. Negro men are taking great interest in Scout training as is evidenced by the fact that 74 men attended the training schools conducted by the Council during this year. For 1931 we recorr.mend: l. That all First Class negro Scouts be permitted to wear the official uniform, as with Richmond, Va.• Hot Springs and Fort Smith, Ark., and many other Southern cities. 2. That the Council permit the organization of additional Scout troops other than the ten now authorized by the Executive 'Board. We feel there should be no restriction on the number of troops where full support a..."ld cooperation from a sponsoring institution is assured and the Scoutmaster has attended the necessary course of instruction. Respectfully submitted, INTER-RACIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE . Page 11 CHICKASAW COUNCIL. B. s. A. Am!!JAL ICETING, DZCEMBER 5, 1930 l(c * l(c * REPORT OF KAMP KIA KIMA COMMITTEE The attendance a.t Kamp Xia Kiroa for its 15th season was the larcest in the history of the camp, 269 boys having attended as compared to 180 in 1929. This is an incroa.se of 49.4%~ The average \7ee1dy attendance at camp uas 73 boys as co~arod to 56 boys in 1929. The increase was caused partially by the fact that the St. Francis Valley Council, with headquarters at ~lytheville, Ark., sent some of their boys to our.ca.mp this year, The large attendance naturally increased the number of boy weeks.and no had 736 boy weeks as compared to 562 in 1929 or o.n increase of 30. 9%.·- We are very gla.d to have had such a large attendance and to have had the 56 boys from the St. Francis Valley Council who camped with us, for the the St. them to The St. Francis Valley Council paid Chickasaw Council $175.00 privilege of its boys attending ·ID.imp Kia Xinia.. ~e cordially invite Francis Valley to camp '7ith us again in 1931, as we are glad for use the facilities of Kia Kima.. The large number of boys required additional equipr.ient in the way of dishes, cutlery, and mattresses. Therefore, ':le had to spend $1,057.70 for various kinds of equipment as co~yared to $541.79 in 1929. The heal th of the camp vms excellent throug.;.1.out the season wi fa only a very few cases of mo.la.ria which the co.op doctor feels sure were brou::;ht to camp by the boys. ill standini::; vmter, st~s, sloug...11s, etc., within a radius of a half r.rl.le of tho cam_;;i •<ere oiled thorou&hly twice during the sEJa~on and there were -practically no r.10squitoes. This was lar ~ely due to the extre416ly dry weather which provn.iled t~1roughout the cany;iing season. Every effort \7as r:iado to hold the· cost of the ~ to tho minir.:mo but even with the r:aost careful supervision the co.r.:ip lost $215.97 duriw; the ten weeks of its operation, this deficit being made up by funds provided by the Meqphis Cor.nuni ty Fund • .Another tennis court ·,ms built this season and was inclosed with wire. The t~o tennis courts ?rovided a great deal of pleasure for the boys and they were constantly used all throu::;h the year • . Through the efforts of our President, Mr. Edward M. Salomon, a C&:."J? library ·>las starte·d and we nou have a.bout a hundred books O\med by the ca.1"1p whic~ were donated throuGh Mr. Salor:ion. We wish to express our appreciation to the Cossitt Library for their splendid cooperation in sendinc to the ca:;:p about five hundre·d books which were thorou;.~ly enjoyed by the boys. Each year the.Cossitt Library cooperates with the car:rp. in furnishin~ a ~ood library and it is a source of much pl0asure to our boys. Page 12. ~ORT OF KAMP lUA l{IMA COMMITTEE (Continued) There were no serious accidents at cw'.1p this year and the heal th of the boys was exceptionally good. iVe believe that a boy is safer in car:ip than he is on the streets of Me~10his. . ~ The advancement program was better this year than last, three Scouts advancing from Tenderfoot to Second Class, twelve from Second Class to First Class, and three.to Ea~le. There were 231.Merit Badges awarded to 143 Scouts. Two Senior and ten Junior Red Cross Life Saving certificates were awarded. For 1931 we recommend that every effort be ma.de to secure an even larGer attendance, as we feel that the attendance at camp is of tremendous benefit to the boys and throU&-11 them to the troop and to Scouting as a whole. Troops who camp are usually permanent troops and we want to lay especial stress on 8etting a larGer nTu~ber of boys to go to camp. We further recommend that funds be made ~vailable for the repairs whic~ are u.rsently needed at can~. M9.ny of the roofs of the lodges leak badly. The Mess Hall should be rescreened and there are several lo"dc;es which need new screens on them. These iter.:ls do not show up on a casual inspection of the camp but they are desperately needed and should be attended to with the least possible delay.

AN.I.iJU.AL l!JEETING, D:iliC:iiJMBER 5, 1930 * * * * \ REPORT OF OUTFITTERS COMMITTEE The various memb~rs of the Committee have inspected the stock of Scout supplies carried by the three Scout Outfitters; namely, The New Bry's, J. Goldsmith and Sons, and Phil A. Ho.lle, and found that they were adequate • .Also, the members of the Committee have found that Scout equipment is being displayed by the Outfitters to better advantage than in the past and that the throe stores are cooparating by giving publicity in their windows and in \ the stores by displaying Scout equipment. ' Ono of the most notable features of this display was the wonderful log cabin built by The New Bry 1s for the use of Scouts. This cabin was constructed on the second floor of the store, adjacent to the department w~ich sells Scout equipment. It is an ideal meeting place for Scouts and contains mn.ny objects of interest including a bulletin board, stuffed animals, snakeskins, horns, etc. It is of much interest to the boys and we feel that T,he New Bry 1s and Mr. ~dWQrd M. Salomon are due especial credit for their splendid cooperation in constructing this building. It is one of the most unique displays ue have ever had the pleasure of seeing and ~e believe it has been a source of much help to Scouting. At various times during the year the question of allowing the negro boy to use the official Scout uniform has been called to our attention. On the recommendation of Mr. Stanley A. Ho.rria, National Director of Inter-&l.cial Ac ti vi ties, vrn have permitted the negro boys to purchase the Chieftain Camping uniform sold b~r Sears-Roebuck and Company. However, we do not believe this uniform has appealed to the boys and we do not believe it has been used to a very great extent. For 1931 we recommend that the Committee inspect the Outfitters at least quarterly to ascertain the amount of supplies carried, the displays made in tha stores of these su-pplies, and the displays made in the windows of each store. We also recommend that the Committee request each Outfitter to displa¥ a full window of Scout sup~lies and equipment at least once· each quarter. We also recorrnnend that the Outfitters be r~quired by the Corrnnittee to display their goods in the store in a conspicuous place and not have Scout equipment stored away out of sig.,.11.t of boys who come in to purc!lase.

The Council has published in the Council office a little paper known as· 11 The Council Fire. 11 This paper is of ouch help to the troops, .as it enables the Executive to.explain to the Scoutr.1£1.sters the activities planned for the Council, the cnr.1ps, etc. For the greater part of the year 11 The Council Fire" was sent only to Scoutr.1asters, Assistant Scout1:ia.sters, and Chairr.len of Troop Cotu~ittees, but for tne last two oonths, it was sent to all Meubers of the Council ond Merit '.Badge Counselors as well. For the year 1931 we recoLu:iend: 1. That special efforts be oa.de to secure additional space in newspapers and that editorials, news iteos, and other publicity features be used as fr.eely as pO$sible, 2. That as soon as funds a.re available the circulation of 11 The Council Fire 11 be enlarged to take ;i,.n all the pastors of the churches and the institutions sponsoring Scout troops and also that all ner.1bers of the Troop Cor.ni ttees be sent this 1i ttle paper. 3.

A • .ANNUAL MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 1930 * * * * REPORT OF SEA S C 0 U T C 0 M M I T T E E Your Committee feels that Sea Scouting is one of the best means of holding the older boys in the Scout movement as a Sea Scout program is built for the use of older boys. Our Comnittee has been ha~dicapped through. the entire lack of funds, no money being allowed in the·budget to take care of Sea Scout activities. Numerous efforts have been made to secure a boat, but unfortunately, they have all been unsuccessful. The Council has dropped four troops of Scouts during the year 1930, two of which were Sea Scout Ships. We a·~e not proud of this record, but until such time as money is available for this program we do not see how it can be pushed to a very successful conclusion. One Sea Scout Ship has been organized during the year, the s.s.s. Bonita at the Galloway Memorial Methodist Church. 'l'hese boys also wanted a boat and when they discovered there was no money available from the Council for it they got busy and are now working on a 25 foot motor launch, the keel of which ~as laid in the Athletic Building at the Fair Grounds on October 28th. We are proud of the initiative shown by this ship under the leadership of Skipper C. B. Kennedy and we expect to cooperate with him in every way towards the completion of this boat. For 1931 we recommend: ..... 1. '!'hat at least $500.00 be provided in the Council budget for Sea Scouting. 2. That a boat at least 30 feot long be secured for the use.of Sea Scouts under the direction and control of the Council through the Scout Executive. 3. That additional Sea Scout troops be organized wherever practical and that the Sea Scout program be made available to as many of our older Scouts as possible. Respectfully submitted, Page 18. CHICKASA\V COUNCIL, B. S • .A • .ANNUAL MEETING, DECEW~ER 5. 1930 * * * * REPORT OF TRAINING COMMITTEE It is our privilege to report that du.ring the year 1930 gTeater ell!Phasis has been placed on training of Scout Lead~rs than at any time du.ring the history of the Oouncil. We feel very proud of this, as there is no doubt in our mind that training of Scout Leaders is the keynote of successful troops. The Minimum Course of the 5 Year Training Program was given in~/ the spring to a class of 34 men, 20 of whom were awarded certificates. Immediately following this course the Approved Course was put on with 21 members, lS of whom received cert'ifieates. In the fall the Minimum Course was again given to our leaders with 32 members ta.~ing this training. In these two courses a total of 87 white leaders was given instruction in Scouting and they have been a very great benefit to these men. We are greatly indebted to the experienced Scout Leaders who have served as officers in these various .training schools: Messrs. Ross A. Ma.thews and R. G. Walls, Sr., have served as Scoutmasters of the schools; Messrs. George Klepper and L. R. Taylor were the Assistant Scoutmasters; Mr. Willard E. Hays was the Scribe; Mr. W. Gordon Morris was Senior Patrol Leader; and Mr. :Sen Coffey, Jr., Scoutmaster of Troop l, Mr. Joe Flanagan, Scoutmaster of Troop 3, Mr. Howard Pritchard, Scoutmaster of Troop 5, Mr. C. C. Brown, Jr., Scoutmaster of Troop 38, and Mr. James Fentress, then District Commissioner, served as Patrol Leaders. Messrs. Coffey and Flanagan have served in all three of the schools which were conducted. We are deeply indebted to the volunteer leaders who did such splendid work in giving freely of their time and effort toward helping the men who have not ·had as great experience in Scouting as they have. The Y. M. C. A. has cooperated with and assisted us tremendously by giving the use of a room in which to hold our training sessions. We deep~ ly appreciate their help and their splendid spirit of cooperation. The negro leaders of the Council have also been given training under the leadership of J. A. Beauchamp, Assistant to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities. In the Training School in the spring 28 members composed the class, while the fall course had 46 members, a total of 74 negro leaders who received training during the year. This is a large step in the right direction and we feel it will mean much to the negro Scout troops of this Council. For 1931 we recommend that cont.inued emphasis be placed on. the training of Sco~t Leaders, also that Specialization Courses in First Aid and other subjects be given whenever practical. The Council is now in position to conduct its own First Aid Courses under the au.spices of the American Red Page 19 REPORT OF TBAINING COMMITTEE (Continued) Cross inasmuch as Scoutmaster Ben Coffey of Troop 1, Scoutmaster W.

During 1930 the Cou_,.1cil dropped five troops, h10 of which were Sea Scout Ships. The troops dropped were as follows: 17 - Oakville Sanitarium 28 - St. John's Methodist Church Page 21 REPORT OF TROOP OB.G.AlTIZ.ATIOW COMMITTZZ (Continued) 35 - Group of Citizens 55 - Idlewild Presbyterian Church 58 - \Vhite Station School The reason for Troop 17 being dropped was that this troop ~as composed entirely of boys v1ho had tuberculosis and were confined to the Oa1:ville Sanitarium. Wlien the time for reregistration came arou.11d all but one of the boys had been discharged from tho Sanitarium as cured and there were no boys, therefore, available to rer.egister the troop. Some of those boys have since joined other troops in the city, which is very pleasing to us. For 1931 we recommend that as many new troops be organized as the :mxecutive Board thinks is wise in view of the financial situation. We further recommend t!i.at negro churches be given the right to organize troops whenever they can demonstrate their fitness to sponsor a troop. We arc proud of the record of the Council growth of this yea:r and we feel sure it will continue to enlarge.

A • .ANNUAL ME3TilTG DEC:3::M33R 5, 1930 I * * * * REPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE It is rey- pleasw.~e to report that Chickusaw Council has had the banner year of its history. during 1930. The Council has the largest. number of troops, the largest number of Scouts, the greatest number of merit badges have been awarded, o.nd the attendance at the.two camps has far surpassed anything on record. Below are figures for the fiscal year ending December 1, 1920 as compared to December 1, 1929. December 1, 1930 70 ~roops 1,504 Scouts December 1 1 1929 57 Troops 1,238 Scouts Gain 13 Troops or 22.8% 266 Scouts or 21.5% The Statistical Bureau of the National Council issues quarterly a Local Council Index for growth and development. It is rey- privilege to report that Chickasaw Council, partially on account of the splendid growth in troops and Scouts, has the highest average among the 40 Councils in Region 5, which comprises the States of Tennessee, .Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Our average as shown by the four reports of the Bureau is 58.5. The nearest average to us is that of Tullahoma, Tennessee, which has 56.0. Chickasaw Council is far in advance of the larger Councils of the Region, its nearest competitors being Birmingham with 53.5, Nashville 49.5, Little Rock 48.3, and New Orleans 45.0. In arriving at the figures above quoted, the Statistical Bureau takes in consideration the net gain in troops, the net number of dropped troops, new troops, lapsed troops, net gain. in Scouts, net dropped Scouts, new Scouts, Tenderfoot Scouts, First Class Scouts, and the ratio between Tenderfoot and First Class. Scouts have shoun a marked improvement in advancement this year, as last year only 65 boys won their First Class badges as compared to 114 this year, an increase of 6o%. In 1929, 746 merit badges were awarded by the Court of Honor, whereas, this year 1,150 were a~arded, an increase of 54.2%. 1929 shows only 8 boys attaining the ran...~ of Ea~le Scout; whoroas, this year we have 12 boys who have been awarded their Eagie Badges, The camping record of the Council is excellent, as will be noted by the figui~es below: December 1 1 1930 Camp Currier, 3,564 Scout Days Kamp Kia Kima., 736 Scout Weeks Kamp Kia Kima, 269 Scouts CaIJ1P Attendance December 1, 1929 1,941 Scout Days 562 Scout Weeks 180 Scouts Gain 1,623 days or 83.6% 174 weeks or 30.9% 89 Scouts or 49.4% The large attendance at Camp Currier is due ma.inly, I believe, Page 23. REPORT OF SCOUT EXi::iCUTIVE (Continued) to the fact that a swimming pool ~w.s constructed which e;ave the boys an opportunity to swim uithout having to go off the carr:p. The pool proved a tremendous attraction. I feel sure that as soon as a dam is built and a lake formed at Camp Currier the additional attractions of boating, fishing, and swimming will double the present number 9f boy days. I At Camp Currier we now have 15 complete cabins owned by various troops and 9 cabins in course of construction, ~horeas, on the first of December lo.st year we had only 8 complete cabins nith 5 others in course of const1~uction. The Carr:p Currier Lnkc Fund was started this year by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Currier of Geneva, Switzerland. Mrs. Currier donated $300.00 to the Fund and as additional contributions are received th.ey will be added to the Fund until suf'ficient money is available to build the dam. The Council is indeed indebted to W~s. Currier for her splzndid idea and the many generous donations. At Kanrp Kia Kinn we had the pleasure of 1:w.v ing 56 boys from the St. Francis Valley Council with headquarters at Blytheville, .i'.\.rkr.msas. We are glad to have had them with us and hope they ~vill return next year • .A.t both Ca.mp Currier and Kanp ICia !Cima the attendn.nce has been by lonG odds the greatest in the history of the Cotincil. This is very encoura-:; ing, as I believe that troops who crurrp get the most out of Scouting and that they are as a uhole more permanent than troops who do not periodically eet in the great outdoors. The first negro Scout CD.mp ever held in Chiclr..asnw Council was conducted this year. It lasted but 5 days but was the beginning of v1hat should be a. permo.nent c.:trr:ping proQ~r:.::.m for ne~o Scouts. Next year I feel sure it will last at least 2 weeks. It undoubtedly helped not only the negro boys but the neg:ro men who attended. T'.ais year has also seen the greatest number of Sco.ut Leaders trained in the history of the Council. We used tho outline of the 5 Year Progressive Training Program approved by the National Council. We have had two Minimum Courses and one Approved Course for our r1hi t~ Scout Leaders and two Minimum Courses for tl1e negro Scout Leaders. The Coundl is greatly indebted to the followin~:; Scout Leadors who served in the Tri:.dning Courses: Messrs. Ross .A. Mathews and R. G. Walls, Sr., Scoutmasters; Messrs. George Klepper and L. R. Taylor, Assistant Scoutmasters; Mr. W. E. Hays, Scribe; Messrs. Ben B. Coffey, Jr., Joe Flanagan, Howard Pritchard, James Fentress, and C. C. Brown, Jr., Patrol Leaders, Messrs. Coffey and Flanagan served in a+l three of the schools for w::iite Scout Leaders. The negro training courses were conducted by J, A. Beauchan;p, Assist~~t to Mr. Stanley A. Harris, National Director of Inter-Racial Activities. I am indeed glad to report that every troop in the Council no~ is led by an efficient Scoutmaster • . Page 24. BEPORT OF SCOUT EXECUTIVE (Cont,~nued) T'nis year has seen a IrlD.rked improvement i~\ the Scout Leaders Round Table, the average attendance beinc-; about 60 Scout Load'ers. The Council is indebted to Mr. Walter Gray uho has so splendidly coope~ated throughout the year by preparint~ and se1"Vin:; without cost to the Council ~ splendid meal for the Round Table once each month. Mr. Grey does not receiv6, one cent of profit but through his interest in Scouting donates the tremendous amount of work necessary to :r:r.ake the Round Table a success. For the last 5 years Chickasaw Council has been tremendously handicapped by the lack of funds. This year our budget is $11,910.00 to cover the opsrations of 70 troops. In 1921, the Council budcet ~as $12,053.00 with only 18 troops on tho roll. The lack of ample finance retards the development of the Council, but in view of the existing financial situation throuehout the cotmtry I feel we have made splendid pro1:;ress with the money available. Chickas~w Council could not have made the splendid record it has for this year had not the Officers and the Executive Board, the Council Members, the Members of the various Committees, Merit Bad,se Counselors, Scoutmasters and Assist~nt Scout:mo.sters cooperated at all times. Many demands for time have been made on so::ie of our Scouters .that the.y could ill afford to __ gtv:e, out they have helped whenever and 'rlherever they. could and I uant to ta1~e this opportunity to ·th~n..~ them for the thought they have given, the sacrifices they have made and the real 11ork that has been done that our Council mi(~1. .. 1.t give to_our boys every op?ortunity to become better citizens through the nnnifold advantaees of Scouting. Without the help and cooporation of these gentlemen we would be far from the leading Council .in Region 5. 1, 2. 3. 4. 5. 6, 7. In planning the work of tl1e Cou:acil fo~ 1931 I recommend: \ That especial emphasis be placed on the trairting of leaders and that at least four trn.b.ing schools be conducted. That a lake be built at Camp Currier. I feel th~ building of the dar:: and the formation of a lake from it uill be the greatest stimulus we could have at caup, as it will create a greater interest o.none; the boys and also among the supporting constituency of the Council. That more boys be recrui tod in our troops and that 15 new troops be orc;anized. That we have a Merit Badge Exi~osition similar to the one held in 1928 whenever financial conditions will permit. That ~e r:Jaintain hish standards in all events involved in Scouting technique and especially in the award of merit badges. That Sea ScoutinG be encouraGed and a boat be provided for the use of our Sea Scouts. That we give the advantaJs of the Scouting program to ne&To boys whenever and i7herever troops can be or~anized with i:iroper leadership and supervision. Page 25. \ RElPOil.T OF SCOUT EXECU'I'IVE (Continued) 8. That every effort be r.:iade throu,ji educational publicity and other i-;:ieo.ns to educate the :publ~c at lar:;e and especially the heads of .churches and other institutions as to the values of Scout training. Scouting is a vital force in our community and is tremendously helpful as a supplement to the work of \our churches. With the continued S'\JlJport of our Council Members and other Scout Leaders there is no doubt but that Cl1iclmsaw Council uill continue to pro8l"ess in 1931. I earnestly ask your continued loyal cooperation in making· Scouting available to the boys in the Council .Area.

Include d in this amount was the purcha se of one new canoe costiDg $76.00. With the purcha se of the new canoe the camp now bas 12 canoes for the use of the boys.

The St. Francis Valley Counci l of ArF.ansas and Southe rn Missou ri $175.00 to the Counci l for the privile ge of allowin g their boys to attendpaid Kia Kin:a during the 1930 season . There were no cash donatio ns this year. 'niro\l&h the courtes y of our president, Mr. Edward M. Salomon, a caq> 11brary was started with bis donatio n of some fifty odd books. Mr. Merril l Schwar tz, a member of the Camp Comnittee, donate d a sink for the hospit al which proved of much help to the hospit al staff. Crane & c~ donated a wash basin tor the headqu arters lodge. ibe health of the boys was fine through out the entire eeason . A few cases by the camp doctor. No seriou acciden ts happen ed. Mercurochrome was used to preven t infecti on of insect bites s and proved effecti ve. Two oiling campaigns for the preven tion of mosquitoes proved satisfa ctory to keep down these insects . ot n:alaria which were brough t to canp were treated One tennis court was built this year. This court, togethe r with the one �- 2 ... built in 1929, provided mu.ch pleasure for the boys. The Scout advancement program was much better this year than last. Three Scouts advanc~d to Second Class, twelve to First Class, three to .lllagle, and two hundred thirty-one passed Merit :Badges. Two Senior and ten Junion Red Cross Life Saving tests were passed. For the improvement of Xia Xima I reconmend the following: 1. That pit latrines be built for the visitors lodge and for the cook's lodge. Tb.is was recommended by Dr. Harrison o:f the Shelby County Board of Health. 2. That the fences around the camp be repaired. The increasing number of pigs around camp is a nuisance and something should be done to keep them from over-running the ca.mp. I also recomnend that a fence be built around the incinerator. 3. 'lhat all roofs be covered with asphalt or some good roofing tar immediately as they leak badly and should be fixed before the bad weather sets in. 4. 'lbat the Mess Hall be rescreened and repaired in general. 5. That a larger ice box be secured for the kitchen. 6. 'lhat a 7. That the canoes be repaired and painted at least two weeks before Ca.!I!P opens. That the canoes be reconditioned at the end of each season instead of waiting until the beginning. a. That the rafters of all lodges and hospital be painted. 9. That in selecting the staff next season the following Scouts be given consideration: Andrew i~ and Howard Boyd. Both of the boys worked hard at camp this year and seem to have the interest of C8JI!p at heart. 10. co~etent instructor in handicraft be on the staff next season. That all of this year ls staff with the exception of Joe and Jildwin Da.lstrom be given the chance to return. Report on the Staff l. Joe Da.lstrom who started the season as Assistant Director did not cooperate with the staff as a whole and a great deal of friction existed between him and several members of the staff'. I recomnend that he not be returned as a staff member. 2. Edwin Da.lstrom, Jr., Director of Swinming and Canoeing, was a great disappointment. He did not cooperate with the governing body of camp and was a constant trouble maker in camp. 3. The work of Gerald Capers who took the place of Joe Dalstrom as Assistant Director was more than satisfactory. Gerald was almcy-s on the job and I recommend that every effort possible be put forth to get him back for next season. ' ., ) �-3- 4. Dr. George l!urkle was a great help to call!P• He not on~ ~ded the health of CaJ1'9? well but was always on the job to do anything that needed to be done, leading games, arranging tennis tournaments, teaching first aid, etc. 5. '\i'~e 6. Russell Perry, who succeeded Charlie Brooks as cashier, was a great help to camp in general. Not only did he handle the books well but was a great help in planning and leading the games. 7. Joe Helms as well. e. Amos, Doctor's Assistant, was also a great help to camp. his work well and was ~lways willing to help the other fellow. ~uartermaster He did and Director of Leathercraft band.led his job Charlie Brooks, who succeeded Gerald Capers as Mess Sergeant, was a very valuable iran in the kitchen. He handled the serving with all ease. 9. In the selection of Alvan Tate as Director of Dramatics, the C~ Committee made a wise selection. Alvan is a great man for the place, 10. Bob Walls as Tribe Leader of the Sioux handled bis job well and under his leadership the Sioux were alwa;ys out in front fighting. 11. Claude Capers, as Tribe Leader of the Iroquois, proved himself a great leader and ma.de a good staff man. 12. Jllddie Williams, who directed the Pawnee Tribe, displayed his ability to lead boys and under his leadership they were alw~s out in front fighting and have several victories to their c~edit.

Jtamp Kia Kina began its 15th season with sunshine and fair weather that lasted throughout the entire season. ltot once did the river rise enough to prevent swimming and canoeing. This ha.a been the greatest season that Xia Kima bas ever en.joyed. Two hundred and sixty-nine boys attended camp this year with a total of 736 boy weeks. This is an increase of 89 boys and 174 boy weeks. Below is a comparison of attendance at Kamp Xia Xilna for the last five years. Years 19?6 1927 1928 1929 1930 Number of weeks 9 10 10 10 10 Number of Scout Weeks 71Q 666 707 562 736 Avg. st~ of each Scout 2Sf J2 24! ll G3:i D ~Qi D l~i ll Avg. weekly' attendance 79 66f 70 56 73 Number to st~ all summer 9 7 5 4 7 Total number of boys i::lll 180 !l,~ The small attendance during the first week and the last two weeks caused the ca.mp to lose money and at the end of the season when all bills were paid there was a deficit of $1,032.20 was spent for equipment this year which was $417.i::l9 more than last year. Included in this amount was the purchase of one new canoe costiDg $76.00. With the purchase of the new canoe the camp now bas 12 canoes for the use of the boys. Eight of these are in good condition. The St. Francis Valley Council of ArF.ansas and Southern Missouri paid $175.00 to the Council for the privilege of allowing their boys to attend Kia Kin:a during the 1930 season. There were no cash donations this year. 'niro\l&h the courtesy of our president, Mr. Edward M. Salomon, a caq> 11 brary was started with bis donation of some fifty odd books. Mr. Merrill Schwartz, a member of the Camp Comnittee, donated a sink for the hospital which proved of much help to the hospital staff. Crane & c~ donated a wash basin tor the headquarters lodge. ibe health of the boys was fine throughout the entire eeason. A few cases ot n:alaria which were brought to canp were treated by the camp doctor. No serious accidents happened. Mercurochrome was used to prevent infection of insect bites and proved effective. Two oiling campaigns for the prevention of mosquitoes proved satisfactory to keep down these insects. One tennis court was built this year. This court, together with the one - 2 ... built in 1929, provided mu.ch pleasure for the boys. The Scout advancement program was much better this year than last. Three Scouts advanc~d to Second Class, twelve to First Class, three to .lllagle, and two hundred thirty-one passed Merit :Badges. Two Senior and ten Junion Red Cross Life Saving tests were passed. For the improvement of Xia Xima I reconmend the following: 1. That pit latrines be built for the visitors lodge and for the cook's lodge. Tb.is was recommended by Dr. Harrison o:f the Shelby County Board of Health. 2. That the fences around the camp be repaired. The increasing number of pigs around camp is a nuisance and something should be done to keep them from over-running the ca.mp. I also recomnend that a fence be built around the incinerator. 3. 'lhat all roofs be covered with asphalt or some good roofing tar immediately as they leak badly and should be fixed before the bad weather sets in. 4. 'lbat the Mess Hall be rescreened and repaired in general. 5. That a larger ice box be secured for the kitchen. 6. 'lhat a co~etent instructor in handicraft be on the staff next season. 7. That the canoes be repaired and painted at least two weeks before Ca.!I!P opens. That the canoes be reconditioned at the end of each season instead of waiting until the beginning. a. That the rafters of all lodges and hospital be painted. 9. That in selecting the staff next season the following Scouts be given consideration: Andrew i~ and Howard Boyd. Both of the boys worked hard at camp this year and seem to have the interest of C8JI!p at heart. 10. That all of this year ls staff with the exception of Joe and Jildwin Da.lstrom be given the chance to return. Report on the Staff l. Joe Da.lstrom who started the season as Assistant Director did not cooperate with the staff as a whole and a great deal of friction existed between him and several members of the staff'. I recomnend that he not be returned as a staff member. 2. Edwin Da.lstrom, Jr., Director of Swinming and Canoeing, was a great disappointment. He did not cooperate with the governing body of camp and was a constant trouble maker in camp. 3. The work of Gerald Capers who took the place of Joe Dalstrom as Assistant Director was more than satisfactory. Gerald was almcy-s on the job and I recommend that every effort possible be put forth to get him back for next season. ' ., ) -3- 4. Dr. George l!urkle was a great help to call!P• He not on~ ~ded the health of CaJ1'9? well but was always on the job to do anything that needed to be done, leading games, arranging tennis tournaments, teaching first aid, etc. 5. '\i'~e Amos, Doctor's Assistant, was also a great help to camp. He did his work well and was ~lways willing to help the other fellow. 6. Russell Perry, who succeeded Charlie Brooks as cashier, was a great help to camp in general. Not only did he handle the books well but was a great help in planning and leading the games. 7. Joe Helms as ~uartermaster and Director of Leathercraft band.led his job well. e. Charlie Brooks, who succeeded Gerald Capers as Mess Sergeant, was a very valuable iran in the kitchen. He handled the serving with all ease. 9. In the selection of Alvan Tate as Director of Dramatics, the C~ Committee made a wise selection. Alvan is a great man for the place, 10. Bob Walls as Tribe Leader of the Sioux handled bis job well and under his leadership the Sioux were alwa;ys out in front fighting. 11. Claude Capers, as Tribe Leader of the Iroquois, proved himself a great leader and ma.de a good staff man. 12. Jllddie Williams, who directed the Pawnee Tribe, displayed his ability to lead boys and under his leadership they were alw~s out in front fighting and have several victories to their c~edit.

That's the program at Kia Kima beginning on Saturday, June 14th, when the lodges will be opened for the 15th Season. On reaching camp, lodges will be assigned, everyone will hurry into bathing suits for a cool, refreshing swim; trim canoes will glide over the sparkling waters of the South Fork and all too soon the thrilling notes of the bugle will sound "Recall,'' reminding the Scouts that supper is nearly ready. After an excellent meal, the Iroquois, Pawnees and Sioux will assemble under their Tribe Leaders and prepare to gather around "the red flower which blooms only at night,'' for songs, stunts and a general good time. Then again the notes of the bugle"Day is done, Gone the Sun From the Lake, From the Hill, From the Sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh." And so ends the day of the beginning of camp, everyone happy and waiting for another dawn, to enjoy anew the many pleasures and activities of "Eagles Nest." Leadership Kamp Kia Kima is indeed fortunate in having the splendid staff of outstanding leaders in Scouting who will direct the camp and its activities during the 1930 season. Willard E. Hays, Assistant to the Executive and a veteran in Scouting, will be Camp Director. The "Chief" is a graduate of the Camp Leaders Training School held at Chattanooga, Tenn. He has held many positions in Scouting, including Assistant Scoutmaster, Merit Badge Counselor and District Commissioner. Under his capable supervision the camp should have one of the best and most enjoyable seasons in its history. Joe Dalstrom, Eagle Scout with 31 Merit Badges and Jamboree Scout to Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1924, will be Assistant Camp Director. He will direct all camp activities, including games, sports and Scoutcraft. This means the camp will have an especially fine program and plenty of fun. Joe is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. Gerald Capers, Eagle Scout with 53 Merit Badges and Bronze, Gold and Silver Palms, will direct Nature Study, which assures every camper of a fine opportunity to learn much about trees, birds and flowers. Gerald will also serve as Mess Sergeant. He is a graduate of Southwestern and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 19. George H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, will be Camp Physician. He will supervise health and sanitation, with Wayne Amos, Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15, as his Assistant. Ed. Dalstrom, Jr., Eagle Scout with 35 Merit Badges and who holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Life Saving Examiner, will be Director of Aquatic Sports. Ed is a veteran swimmer and camper, having �Edward M. Salomon Lodge Camp Headquarters been a member of the staff of several camps. He is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. The water front will be the scene of much fun under his leadership. Joe Helms, Eagle Scout with 39 Merit Badges and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15, will be Tribe Leader of the Pawnees. Joe holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Senior Life Saver. He is an expert in leatherwork and in addition to leading in games and hikes, will specialize in leathercraft. Bill Perdue, Eagle Scout with 28 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Tribe Leader of the Sioux. Bill has passed the Life Saving Tests at the Memphis Municipal Pool and will help in water front activities as well as leading hikes and games. Claude Capers, Eagle Scout with 34 Merit Badges, will be Tribe Leader of the Iroquois. He will lead games and hikes and help in aquatic sports. Claude is an expert signaller and will be of much help to any Scout who wants to become really good in signalling. Eddie Williams, Eagle Scout with 26 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Camp Quartermaster. Charley Brooks, a veteran of many years at camp and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 21, will handle the finances as Camp Cashier. The Director of Dramatics and Camp Fire Activities will be Alvan Tate, Jr. The "Ghost of Notre Dame" has many new stunts planned to provide fun and frolic so that camp fires and shows will long be remembered. Loeation In the Ozarks, on a rocky bluff overlooking the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, three miles from Hardy, Ark., is "Eagles Nest." The camp site is high, well drained, free from mosquitoes with no danger from high water at any season of the year. Chickasaw Council owns 166 acres of rugged woodland in this campers' paradise and Kia Kima is located almost in its center. Numerous arrowheads found in the vicicity indicate this spot was used as a permanent camp by the Indial's who or:ce inhabited the region. �Facts About Kamp Kia Kima 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. The Rules of the Camp are the Scout Oath and Law. Camp opens June 14th-Closes August 23rd. To register, apply to Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Telephone 6-7032. Camp fees are $8.50 per week, payable in advance. Please make checks payable to Chickasaw Council. Railroad fare, round trip Memphis to Hardy, $5.25 for 2 weeks; $6.30 for 3 weeks; $7.60 for any length of stay over 3 weeks. Scouts enter and leave camp on Saturdays only. All Scouts must pass a physical examination within one week of the time they enter camp. This is furnished in Memphis without charge. All clothing and equipment must be plainly marked with owner's name. The health of everyone in camp is carefully protected. Scouts are inspected daily by the camp physician, so that no ailment, however slight, goes unattended. G. H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., Camp Physician, lives in the Camp Hospital. The camp is located on 166 acres owned by Chickasaw Council. It is three miles from Hardy, Ark., in Sharp County, and is 126 miles from Memphis via Frisco R.R. Twenty-two permanent buildings are on the camp, nineteen of which, including the two-story camp headquarters, are built of native stone. The Camp Physician inspects all food supplies, the Mess Hall and Kitchen daily. Ample time is allowed for writing and each boy is required to write to his parents once each week. Each Scout is allowed to buy 10 cents worth of candy per day. Please do not send sweets from home. Equipment The camp is splendidly equipped with a two-story Headquarters Lodge, sixteen Lodges, Hospital, a big, airy Mess Hall, Visitors' Lodge, Handicraft Shop, Recreation Hall and other buildings. With the exception of the Mess Hall, Recreation Hall and Handicraft Shop, all are built of native stone. The Hospital is well equipped and provided with shower bath. All buildings except the Recreati~n Hall are completely screened. A splendid tennis court is available at all times. Eight boys are assigned to each lodge. Each boy is furnished a comfortable spring cot and a heavy felt mattress fitted with a mattress cover. The camp's water supply is pumped from a deep well into a There are pressure tank. Every two weeks 16 Lodges during the season the water is like this at tested for purity by a Memphis Kia Kima bacteriologist. Running water is provided in the Mess Hall, Hospital and Visitors' Lodge. �Off for a Thrilling Canoe Trip Canoeing Next to swimming in the South Fork, canoeing is probably the most popular sport in camp. Eleven excellent canoes provide plenty of fun. There is seldom a moment when flashing paddles cannot be seen somewhere on the river. The "Buddy" System is applied to the use of canoes as well as to swimming and no Scout is permitted to use a canoe until he has passed his Canoe Tests and demonstrated his ability to swim as well as handle a canoe. Water Sports The cool, clear waters of the South Fork are a constant invitation to swim, and needless to say, Scouts do not have to be urged to accept. Swimming is by far the most popular sport in camp and the big sandy beach is a favorite spot for gatherings and games. Every precaution is taken to insure safety in the water. Swimming is not permitted except at regular swimming periods when expert Life Guards are on duty. The "Buddy" System, recommended by the National Department of Camping, is used in both swimming and canoeing. This means a Scout must be accompanied by another Scout whenever he is in or on the water. In swimming, boys enter the water in pairs and they are required to remain close enough to touch each other ALL the time. This excellent safety measure makes each boy constantly on the lookout for the welfare of his "Buddy." Non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim are not allowed in deep water, but remain in an area of shallow water which is roped off and under the supervision of a Life Guard. These boys are taught to swim and few Scouts leave campwithout learning how to handle themselves in the water. Aquatic meets are frequently held and there is keen com petition between the Tribes for the prizes awarded to the winners. Canoe tilting, water polo, canoe races and other stunts are the source of much amusement and help to make camping the ideal vacation. There's Plenty of Fun in the Water �Skill is Required in Canoe Tilting Camp Aetivities Many and varied are the activities of the lucky Scouts who go to Kia Kima. In addition to water sports, hikes and woodcraft, many big games provide fun. Bully Wumpus, Crazy Abyssinian King and Animal Hunt Games are favorites of long standing, while tennis, archery, baseball, horseshoe pitching and volley ball are very popular. There is never a time during the day, except during Quiet Hour after dinner, when Scouts are not engaged in some of these activities or are working in the Handicraft Shop, making articles of wood, leather or metal. Numerous prizes ranging from fried pies to field glasses will be awarded to the Scouts who win the big games and other competitive sport events which are frequently held throughout the summer. Camp Honors In putting "out" in Scouting, boys become well acquainted with many of Nature's secrets and learn how to take care of themselves in the open . Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. �Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M. This is the "Sunnyland," the Frisco's best. Registration and Fees Scouts may register for camp at any time and applications are filed in the order received. Early registration assures a Scout a place at camp during the desired time. All Scouts must pass a physical examination by a physician within one week of the time they enter camp. The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks. As K.K.K. is 3 miles from Hardy, there is a 25 cents charge each way for hauling baggage to and from camp. �PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.

Then again the notes of the bugle- "Day i s done, Gone the Sun From the Lake, From the Hill, From the Sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh." And so ends the day of the beginning of camp, everyone happy and waiting for another dawn, to enjoy anew the many pleasures and activities of "Eagles Nest." Leadership Kamp Kia Kima is indeed fortunate in having the splendid staff of outstanding leaders in Scouting who will direct the camp and its activities during the 1930 season. Willard E. Hays, Assistant to the Executive and a veteran in Scouting, will be Camp Director. The "Chief" is a graduate of the Camp Leaders Training School held at Chattanooga, Tenn. He has held many positions in Scouting, including Assistant Scoutmaster, Merit Badge Counselor and District Commissioner. Under his capable supervision the camp should have one of the best and most enjoyable seasons in its history. Joe Dalstrom, Eagle Scout w ith 31 Merit Badges and Jamboree Scout to Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1924, will be Assistant Camp Director. He will direct all camp activities, including games, sports and Scoutcraft. This means the camp will have an especially fine program and plenty of fun. Joe is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. Gerald Capers, Eagle Scout with 53 Merit Badges and Bronze, Gold and Silver Palms, will direct Nature Study, which assures every camper of a fine opportunity to learn much about trees, birds and flowers. Gerald will also serve as Mess Sergeant. He is a graduate of Southwestern and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 19. George H. Burkle, Jr., M.D., a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, will be Camp Physician. He will supervise health and sanitation, with Wayne Amos, Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15 , as his Assistant. Ed. Dalstrom, Jr., Eagle Scout w ith 35 Merit Badges and who holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Life Saving Examiner, will be Director of Aquatic Sports. Ed is a veteran swimmer and camper, having Edward M. Salomon Lodge Camp Headquarters been a member of the staff of several camps. He is a Junior at the University of Mississippi. The water front will be the scene of much fun under his leadership. Joe Helms, Eagle Scout with 39 Merit Badges and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 15, will be Tribe Leader of the Pawnees. Joe holds a certificate from the American Red Cross as a Senior Life Saver. He is an expert in leatherwork and in addition to leading in games and hikes, will specialize in leathercraft. Bill Perdue, Eagle Scout with 28 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Tribe Leader of the Sioux. Bill has passed the Life Saving Tests at the Memphis Municipal Pool and will help in water front activities as well as leading hikes and games. Claude Capers, Eagle Scout with 34 Merit Badges, will be Tribe Leader of the Iroquois. He will lead games and hikes and help in aquatic sports. Claude is an expert signaller and will be of much help to any Scout who wants to become really good in signalling. Eddie Williams, Eagle Scout with 26 Merit Badges and Bronze Palm, will be Camp Quartermaster. Charley Brooks, a veteran of many years at camp and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 21, will handle the finances as Camp Cashier. The Director of Dramatics and Camp Fire Activities will be Alvan Tate, Jr. The "Ghost of Notre Dame" has many new stunts planned to provide fun and frolic so that camp fires and shows will long be remembered. Loeation In the Ozarks, on a rocky bluff overlooking the beautiful South Fork of Spring River, three miles from Hardy, Ark., is "Eagles Nest." The camp site is high, well drained, free from mosquitoes with no danger from high water at any season of the year. Chickasaw Council owns 166 acres of rugged woodland in this campers' paradise and Kia Kima is located almost in its center.

There are 16 Lodges like this at Kia Kima Off for a Thrilling Canoe Trip Canoeing Next to swimming in the South Fork, canoeing is probably the most popular sport in camp. Eleven excellent canoes provide plenty of fun. There is seldom a moment when flashing paddles cannot be seen somewhere on the river. The "Buddy" System is applied to the use of canoes as well as to swimming and no Scout is permitted to use a canoe until he has passed his Canoe Tests and demonstrated his ability to swim as well as handle a canoe. Water Sports The cool, clear waters of the South Fork are a constant invitation to swim, and needless to say, Scouts do not have to be urged to accept. Swimming is by far the most popular sport in camp and the big sandy beach is a favorite spot for gatherings and games. Every precaution is taken to insure safety in the water. Swimming is not permitted except at regular swimming periods when expert Life Guards are on duty. The "Buddy" System, recommended by the National Department of Camping, is used in both swimming and canoeing. This means a Scout must be accompanied by another Scout whenever he is in or on the water. In swimming, boys enter the water in pairs and they are required to remain close enough to touch each other ALL the time. This excellent safety measure makes each boy constantly on the lookout for the welfare of his "Buddy." Non-swimmers and boys just learning to swim are not allowed in deep water, but remain in an area of shallow water which is roped off and under the supervision of a Life Guard. These boys are taught to swim and few Scouts leave campwithout learning how to handle themselves in the water. Aquatic meets are frequently held and there is keen com petition between the Tribes for the prizes awarded to the winners. Canoe tilting, water polo, canoe races and other stunts are the source of much amusement and help to make camping the ideal vacation. There's Plenty of Fun in the Water Skill is Required in Canoe Tilting Camp Aetivities Many and varied are the activities of the lucky Scouts who go to Kia Kima. In addition to water sports, hikes and woodcraft, many big games provide fun. Bully Wumpus, Crazy Abyssinian King and Animal Hunt Games are favorites of long standing, while tennis, archery, baseball, horseshoe pitching and volley ball are very popular. There is never a time during the day, except during Quiet Hour after dinner, when Scouts are not engaged in some of these activities or are working in the Handicraft Shop, making articles of wood, leather or metal. Numerous prizes ranging from fried pies to field glasses will be awarded to the Scouts who win the big games and other competitive sport events which are frequently held throughout the summer. Camp Honors In putting "out" in Scouting, boys become well acquainted with many of Nature's secrets and learn how to take care of themselves in the open. Kia Kima awards a camp emblem to campers who pass the required tests. To win an emblem a Scout must: 1. Advance in rank or take one Merit Badge. 2. Swim river under supervision of Life Guard. 3. Pass Silence Test (4 hours). 4. Go on Grumble Hike (overnight and at least 5 miles.) 5. Provide camp entertainment at camp fire or in show. 6. Do 4 hours of camp improvement. 7. Make leaf prints of 5 different species and identify. 8. Identify leaves of 15 different trees. 9. Make a star map from observation. 10. Find and place in camp museum one of the following: Peculiar rock, snake, lizard, shell or other object not commonly found around camp. 11. Make Leola. Scouts are proud to receive this honor, for it signifies they have started on the trail leading to a fine knowledge of the great out-of-doors. The greatest honor which can be won at K.K.K. is to be elected a "Council Scout" and receive an Indian name at a secret Council Fire held somewhere in the deep woods near camp. There are no rules by which this honor may be won-if a Scout does his best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law, is industrious and a good camper, he will quickly be elected by his fellows to a place at the campfire of the Council Scouts. Archery, Ancient Sport of the Knights, is the Favorite of Many at Kia Kima Religious Activities The 12th Scout Law-"A Scout Is Reverent"-is obeyed at Kamp Kia Kima. Religious services of a strictly non - sectarian character will be conducted every Sunday. Visitors Are Welcome A Visitors' Lodge, equipped with the same type of cots and mattresses as used by the Scouts, is provided for parents. Reservations must be made one week in advance at Headquarters, Chickasaw Council, 306 Bankers Bldg., 71 Madison Ave., Memphis, Tenn., Phone 6-7032. Visitors provide their own towels and blankets. Camp fees for visitors are $2.25 per day or 75 cents per meal. Food Mr. R. G. Ramsay, of the Gartly-Ramsay Hospital, and Chairman of the Kamp Kia Kima Committee, has prepared the delightful menu of the camp. Outdoor life creates tremendous appetites and Mr. Ramsay's careful preparation assures a wholesome, well balanced diet in which green vegetables are abundantly supplied. Milk is plentiful and comes from our own dairy. The cows are thoroughly tested by the Department of Health of the City of Memphis before camp opens. Transportation During the camping season, Frisco fast day trains stop at Hardy, thus enabling parents to visit their sons in camp and return to Memphis the same day. Train No. 108 leaves Grand Central Station at 7 :45 A.M. and arrives at Hardy at 10:50 A.M. Returning, Train No. 107 leaves Hardy at 5:51 P.M. and reaches Memphis at 9 :00 P.M.

The examination is given in Memphis without a charge. A dental examination is recommended and this will also be given in Memphis without charge. Camp fees are $8 .50 per week and are payable in advance. Railroad fare, from Memphis to Hardy and return is $5.25 for two weeks; $6.30 for three weeks and $7.60 for any period over three weeks.

PARENTS - Read Carefully On the lower half of this page you will find listed the items that a Scout is required to have, when he comes to camp. Also a list of suggested items which are not required, but which are necessary to his enjoyment while at camp. It is suggested that these items be of good quality as they will receive very hard wear, and it will be much better to have them last the entire length of time that the boy is in camp, than to have to send others. The YORK ARMS CO., 162 S. Main St., and the ENSLEY CO., 71 Union Ave., Memphis, two of the largest sporting goods houses in the south, carry a large stock of the things that a Scout will need. Due to long experience in the outfitting of campers, fishermen and sportsmen in general, they will be of valuable assistance in helping to select the proper things for the boy. Prices are very reasonable.

Kamp Kia Kima has as its ultimate goal the instilling of that spirit of self reliance in boys that is essential to their well being as men. The rules of the camp are the Scout Oath and Law, the foundation stones of the greatest movement for youth that the world has seen. Weeks in the open air, weeks of association with men who teach by living and leading as we want our Boy Scouts to live and lead ten, fifteen years from now, weeks of learning by doing, those are our means to the end. A Scout at Kia Kima is a good Scout. He learns that the good of the whole must overrule, on occasions, what seems the good of one individual. He learns his responsibility to his fellows as he could no where else in the world. He learns to be a man. You can give your boy no greater gift than a few weeks in Kamp Kia Kima. He'll return to you a better son, a better Scout, who is "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." EDWARD M.
