IN WITNESS WHEREOF THE SEAL OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA IS HEREBY AFFIXED THIS 10t113AY OF July 1951 c�T�12C 8/p/7%7 McCall Scouts attend ,jamboree Six Boy Scouts from the McCall area flew to the East Coast and at- tended the National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America during July. The event included two weeks of extensive tours and one wee of the Jamboree in Fort A. P. Hill, Va. The McCall boys were among 37,000 people who attended the once-every- four-years.gathering. Each boy attending the Jamboree came home with lasting impressions. "I experienced New York City and Washington D.C. and saw the historic parts of the East," Eagle Scout Jon Gunther of Troop 246 said. "I was able to visit the sites of the figures I had learned about in my junior En- glish class. It really brought the les- sons to life." Eagle Scout Josh Gunther, Troop 246, was most attracted by the scuba diving available at the Jamboree site. "I went through the activity five times and really liked it," Gunther said. "I met a lot of nice people and enjoyed being one of the 37,000. The last night we had all of the Scouts holding candles in the final ceremony. It was an awesome display." Life Scout Jeremy Trammell, Troop 246, among many other events, remembers the fireworks at the Order of the Arrow and the closing cer- emony shows. "They were longer than I had ever seen and beautiful," Trammell said. "The finales were in- credible." Life Scout Jason Wiking, Troop 246, was impressed by the size of the cities he visited after living in Idaho. "Busch Gardens Amusement Park in Williamsburg, Va. was enormous," Wiking said. "We spent three nights in New York City and the buildings are huge. When we finished the tours and arrived at the Jamboree, we had plenty of time to participate in shot- gun trap shooting, air rifle shooting, muzzle loading with black powder rifles, tomahawk throwing, and BMX racing." "I made a lot of friends and did a lot of activities that I could never do here," said 1st Class Scout Keith Leasy of Troop 246. "This trip made a big impression on my life. I won't for- • Photo courtesy Boy Scout Troop 246 Attending the Jamboree from Troop 246 were, from left, Josh Gunther, Jon Gunther, Jeremy Trammell, Jason Wiking and Keith Leasy. get it." Troop 245 was represented by Eagle Scout Nick Holland who was surprised by the size of the Statue of Liberty. "I thought it would be larger," Holland said. "We took a boat out to it and went to the top. The windows up there are very small. At Jamboree, my favorite activities were rappelling and archery." The McCall area has two active troops, and interested boys grades 6 through age 17 are encouraged to become involved. Troop 246 meets every Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge across from the McCall Memorial Hospital, and Troop 245 meets Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. at the LDS Church on Elo Road. For more information on Troop 246, call Scoutmaster K.C. Hanes, Nick Holland Represented Troop 245 325-8136, or Committee Chair Debbie Grems, 634-4290. Troop 245 can be reached by calling Scoutmaster Ron Dean, 634-3163 or Committee Chair Brian McMahan, 634-7641. A Scout- ing Night will be held after the start of school to introduce boys and their families to scouting. Camp Morrison celebrates 30 years Ken Bass of Boise helps his son, Jaron, at the shot- gun range during an open house last Saturday at Camp Morrison in McCall. The Boy Scouts at Camp Morrison celebrated their 30-year anniversary by Star -News Photo by Jeanne Seol opening their facilities to the public. Parents and their children were treated to a day of sailing, canoeing, swimming, rifle and shotgun shooting, as well as to an evening meal, all free of charge. Butcher Blocks placed in the Lake Fork Wildlife Management Area Andy Deines and other members of Troop 132, of Boise, pre- pare "Butcher Blocks" for installation. There are five new butcher blocks in the Lake Fork Wildlife Management Area. What may you ask is a "A Butcher Block?" A butcher block is a 2' - 3' diameter log set on end so it stands approx- imately 4' tall. These logs are used by Bald eagles and Osprey to "butcher" their catch of the day. This gives them a large area on which to dine on the fish they catch. It also allows them to eat their prey out of the reach of other predators such as foxes. These butcher blocks were installed courtesy of Andy Deines and other members of Troop #132 of Boise. This project was completed on August 10, 1996 but started ovzr two months prior. Andy decided for his Eagle Scout Project that he wanted to improve raptor habitat on Cascade Reservoir. Prior to deciding which project to select Andy reviewed the Cascade Reservoir Management Plan. From this plan, Andy decided to install these butcher blocks in the Lake Fork Wildlife Management Area. The logs for this project were donated by the Boise -Cascade com- pany. Andy would like to extend his appreciation to the Cascade staff for all of their assistance in making this project a success. The Bureau of Reclamation continues to have a number of projects available to any individual or group interested in volunteering their time and efforts. If anyone is interested in volunteering for a project please contact Warren Sedlacek, Natural Resource Specialist, at 382- 4258. McCall Scouts fly high at local S ace Derby Jessie Warwick, Steve Kutzner, Justin Congleton show awards. McCall area Cub Scouts took part in a Space Derby race for models held on Saturday in the McCall -Donnelly Elementary School multipurpose room. The boys made their spaceships at their den meetings and at home from kits containing balsa wood and rubber band motors con- nected to propellers. Larry and Christine Lovitt built a wooden stand with lines attached, after which the spaceships were wound up, plac- ed on the lines and sent off under their own power. The scouts came up with several designs, including several based on the space shuttle. Prizes were awarded for most original and best appearance. Among the Wolfs, Shawn Duman won most original and Travis Collson's ship was judged best in appearance. Justin Congleton and Kenny Mairs won in the Bear group, with Stryder Scalf and Josh Berkey winning among the Webelos. Race action was exciting, even more so when the power went off for about 30 minutes and the crafts flew in the dark. -4 Photo by Penny Eberle The fastest ships won trophies made and donated by Louie McFadden and Kay Sigman and Taylor Made Trophies. Winners were Randy Green, Webelos; Steve Kutzner, Bears;and Jeremy Lund, Wolves. All the scouts were presented with a Centennial Medal donated by Ponderosa State Park, and given by park manager Ned Jackson. Pete and Alta Pierson were the judges for the craft designs, and Alan and Susan Congleton painted the awards. Photo courtesy WICAP Head Start Scouts help Head Start Members of Boy Scout Troop 246 recently donated 24-1/2 man-hours of labor to the WICAP Valley County Head Start Program in Donnelly. The youths did such chores as ditch -digging (pictured above), landscaping, yard cleanup, window washing and storage orga- nization. Participating in the cleanup were R.D. Van Noy, Keith Leasy, Jon Grems, Tyler Bryant, Michael Young, Lane McFadden, Jesse Kangas-Hanes, Brent Waller and Jon Gunther. Leaders Les Grems and K.C. Hanes assisted as well. The troop is seeking other ser- vice projects, which must benefit a non-profit organization or a com- munity member in need, such as a yard cleanup for a senior citizen.

Ai EH 6368 March 6, 1952 Mr. Stanley Harwood McCall Idaho Dear Stan: Sure enjoyed reading your swell letter and looking at the splendid pictures of the Jam- boree, which you so kindly sent. I thought your pictures were excellent, and they were mounted so attractively. It sure took me back to those interesting places that we visited last summer. I have had other letters from Spike, Gifford Evans, and Bobby Monsen. Rudy Juu1 was in for a visit a few weeks ago, and Harvey Rose was in the other day. He brought 150 pictures, so he and I had a private picture show here with his Kodachromes and my colored movies. It was a lot of fun. 4.110. E2 COUNCIL NO. 492.1t Certainly hope we can have a reunion late in May or early in June. Give my best regards to your father. Cordially yours, GHO: KB G. H.

January 24, 1952 COUNCIL NO. 492-11 How would you like to have a dollar for every time each one of us has thought about all the rest of the guys in Troop 3 since we got back? That would make quite a lot of spending money, wouldn't it? For my part, I have thought of every one of you at least every time I have made a talk on the Jamboree, and that has been often. My motion pictures turned out O.K. Wonder how your pictures turned out? The Regional Office would like to have a set of Kodachrome pictures of the Jamboree. If you took Kodachrome stills, how would you like to have copies of two of your best ones made and send them to me? Just for fun, we will offer a prize for the fellow who sends in what the Regional Office considers to be the two best pictures. Last Sunday morning, on the editorial page of the OREGONIAN, I read the Henry McLemore column and got a big charge out of it - in fact, so big that Monday I went to the Oregonian office and got 28 copies of the paper, so I could send you each the clipping. Here it is. Remember those Con- tinental breakfasts? I guess Henry McLemore, who is traveling Europe first class instead of second class, is getting the same kind of a breakfast! Royal Stone and I have talked several times about the possibility of having a reunion, but it is pretty hard to figure out when. Portland, or some spot near Portland, like Mt. Hood, seems to be a logical place for the "where." Will you please answer this letter and tell me when your school will be out next spring? Perhaps we can fit in a date be- tween the time school is out and the time summer camps open that will be agreeable to most of use Don't confine your letter just to giving me the date when school is out. Let me know all about yourself, and what you are doing. Jamboree Scouts -2- 1/24/52 Now that we are five months away from the Jamboree, and have had time to look at it in retrospect, I am sure you feel as I do that it was a "once -in -a- lifetime" experience. While we were there, we could not fully appreciate its signi- ficance. However, now that we have had time to think about it for weeks and months, we realize how fortunate we were to have been able to make the trip - not only the Jamboree, but the Amalfi Drive, the trip to the top of Schafberg, the Vati- can Museum, Zurich and Paris. To be able to bring back all those memories is a rare privilege. To have been so inti- mately associated with a Troop of such fine Scouts for all summer long was another rare privilege. Let's keep the memory of it, and the lessons in friendships, national and international, forever in our mind. Best personal regards, GHO: KB G. H.

A report to the council's exec- utive board by Larry Maurer, Property Committee chairman, said a portion of the 45-acre Tapawingo site should be sold to purchase and improve other Scouting facilities in southwest- ern Idaho and to improve the council's finances. The 64- member executive board is scheduled to vote on the issue at 8 p.m. Jan. 23 in the Lookout Room at the Boise State University Student Union Building. The property value of the. camp, which the Scouts of a awin o to," Maurer said. "It (Payette) is a beautiful lake, and we want "There is no potential buyer, committed to do all we can to stay located b e r secret bu or No one has contacted there." uy r o y . the Council. We're waiting until the Committee (Board) decides." — Marty Latimer, executive director of the Ore-Ida Council have used since 1935, has been estimated at $2.1 million. The report also proposed that the council retain all of adjacent 155 -acre Camp Morrison. Proceeds from Tapawingo's sale then would be placed in a trust, and only the interest earned from the trust would be used for acquisition, develop- ment and maintainance of coun- cil property, under the proposal. No money would be used for op- erating expense's. Maurer said the subcommit- tee favored retaining some ac- cess to Payette Lake so that Scouts could earn their aquatic merit badges. Camp Morrison lacks suitable bodies of water. A long -range plan calls for two ponds to be built at Camp Mom - son. Engineers hired by the Coun- cil said the two ponds would cost $100,000 to $150,000. "We don't want to sell Tapa- wingo. We wish we didn't have J Camp Miles Tapawingo N Q ,gym �a v Q� Little Payette Lake McCall Camp Morrison 55 Ann LaRose /Statesman Several board members inter- viewed acknowledged that the proposed sale, made public in December, has generated a large amount of hostility, mostly among former Scouts. Sale opponents began a petition drive to pursuade board mem- bers to vote against the sale. "I don't think all of the oppo- nents are against selling Tapa- wingo," board member Owen Pipal said. "The whole thrust is that we need more time to study this thing. They're just asking to delay this thing." Marty Latimer, executive di- rector of the Ore -Ida Council, said a buyer for Tapawingo has not been sought yet. Opponents, however, charge that the board, dominated by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, has already committed itself to sell the camp. "There is no potential buyer, committed buyer or secret buyer," said Latimer. "No one has contacted the Council. We're waiting until the Commit- tee (Board) decides." Maurer, who is, coinci- dentally, a real - estate repre- sentative for the LDS Church, said the church is not interested in buying the land. Maurer said church stakes no longer are allowed to buy land for their use. "It's a bit touchy because we used to buy lands," Maurer said. "Now, though, it is not church policy." McCALL BOY SCOUTS Boy Scout Troop 246, sponsored by the McCall Lions Club and the U.S. Forest Service, resumed its regular school year meeting schedule on Sept. 13 with a Court of Honor recognizing youths who have earned merit badges or advanced in rank during the last several months. The troop will continue to meet on Thursday evenings at the old smokejumpers base, courtesy of the forest service. Further information can be obtained from Scoutmaster Ted Burton at 634 -7464, most evenings. The troop now has 21 registered Scouts. The Troop attended the 1990 Boy Scout Centennial Jubilee at Elk Meadows near Stanley in June. They joined over 7,000 other Scouts and Scouters in this recognition of Idaho's first 100 years. The boys also ran into former McCall scouts Dusty and Rusty Clark and numerous old and new friends from all over Idaho. While there, they had the opportunity to observe and learn many aspects of scouting, and enjoyed popular evening professional entertainment. In early July, Troop 246 com- pleted a service project for the Mc- Call Ranger District of Payette Na- tional Forest by removing and re- placing a bridge across a tributary stream to Loon Cretk about one - quarter mile north 6f Loon Lake in f M JpR, Ao, / 7 fD the mountains east of McCall. Scoutmaster Ted Burton and Troop Committee Members Tom and Kathy Ellison drove to Chi- nook Campground on the Secesh River on Friday evening with the boys, and rendezvoused with forest service packer Roger Lake. Troop Committee Chair Mary Fairman came out on Saturday morning to join the hike and overnight. The troop hiked down the east side of the Secesh River to the Packers Bridge, and crossed the river to the mouth of Loon Creek, a most pleasant break site. Next they climbed up into Loon Creek valley and pressed on to the meadow below the lake. On Saturday afternoon, ithe Troop removed the badly rotted old bridge, and built the new one. On Sunday, most hiked the next one - quarter mile to the Lake and on around the lake to the site of a bomber crash that occurred during World War II. Sunday afternoon, the troop hiked out by way of the west side trail to Victor Creek, an- other superior rest site, and on up the Secesh to a point across from the campground. In addition to the adult leaders, those attending were Travis Cullison, senior patrol leader; Peter Pearson, Toby King, Aaron Bollar, Toby McReynolds, Mark Ellison, and Tim McCoy. Next, the troop attended a week- long summer camp experience at Camp Morrison during the last week of July. One boy advanced in rank, 10 of the boys made substantial progress in that direction, and nine earned at least one merit badge. Larry Stewart earned his lifeguard rating, and Toby King has nearly com- pleted those requirements, which means that the troop can add water activities to its school year pro- gram. Scoutmasters disqualify j udg BY JAMES L. KINCAID The Star -News A scheduled court appearance on Monday for two Scoutmasters charged with abusing a Boy Scout at Camp Morrison in McCall last summer was delayed after the two asked for a new judge. Timothy D. Williams and Richard D. Hammond asked to dis- qualify Fourth District Magistrate Darla Williamson from their cases. Williamson granted their request. Boise attorney Michael Sasser, representing Williams and Ham- mond, filed the motion to disqualify Williamson. Sasser had no com- ment on Friday on why Williamson should be disqualified. Sasser filed a motion under a court rule that allows those facing criminal charges to disqualify one judge or magistrate without having to state a reason. It was not known Tuesday which magistrate would replace Williamson and when the two would be required to appear again in court. Williams, Hammond and four other people were charged with mis- demeanors after a 13 -year -old Mid- dleton boy was twice tied to a tree as disciplinary action while attend- ing the camp. The boy was a member of the Middleton Third Ward Scout Troop sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints. A Val- ley County Sheriffs Department in- vestigator said a church official tried to persuade him not to press charges. The official has denied that he made such a request. The incident occurred on July 23, when Williams, 43, of Middleton tied the boy to a tree and Hammond, 41, of Caldwell agreed to the pun- ishment, according to a sheriffs in- vestigator. Hammond is a state dis- trict manager of probation and pa- role in the. Idaho Department of Cor- rection's Caldwell office. Others charged include Kim A. Hansen, 41, of Boise, and David Cleon Pack, 34, of Nampa, both with the Ore -Ida Council office in Boise. Hansen is council executive director with the Ore -Ida Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Lonnie R. King, 40, of McCall, a ranger at Camp Morrison, and Michael C. Cragun, 33, of Red- mond, Wash., who is summer pro- gram director at Camp Morrison, have also been charged in the inci- dent. According to the boy's statement, he was tied to a tree on July 22 for a short time and again on July 23 from about 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the investigator said. The temperature was about 50 degrees and the boy was improperly clothed. The boy was being pun- ished for going in the wrong door of the camp's dining hall, the sheriffs investigator said. Investigation of the incident be- gan after the investigator received a telephone call from the boy's mother on Aug. 4. He received written statements from the boy and his mother on Aug. 25. In an Aug. 26 interview, King said that he and Cragun found the boy tied to the tree at about 9:47 p.m. on July 23. King said the boy was tied to the tree in an upright position by three strands of 3/8 -inch rope. The boy was released and taken to the camp office, where he was questioned and examined by King and Cragun. According to King's statement, the boy had three rope marks about three fingers wide across his chest and arms. The boy's parents were not immediately notified of the inci- dent because Cragun said Scout ex- ecutives must first be notified. The boy was later allowed to call his parents. On July 24, Pack told King that if King had talked to anyone besides Pack and Cragun about the incident, King would have been in serious trouble, the investigator said. On Sept. 2, in a letter from Cra- gun to Hansen, Cragun claimed he had investigated the incident, ordered the Scout released from the tree and warned one of the leaders that their actions amounted to child abuse. Williams and Hammond have both been suspended from the Scouting program, based on the al- legations of child abuse by a Scout leader. Hansen has remained at his job even though he is also facing charges in the incident. T%te rl 4✓0Calce May 13,/ff3� Charges dropped against one of the Boy Scout leaders in summer camp incident CASCADE - -- A c h., �e of ;aisdemeanor injury to a child filed against one c,' the f,v: �c:�nz readers involved in an incident in which ascout was tied to a tree has been dropped. Valley County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Schoenhut said he had insufficient evidence to prove the allegation against Richard D. Hammond} 41, of Caldwell. Hammond and five others were charged following the itv,cs - tigationof a July 23, 1992, incident at McCall's Camp Morrison. Misdemeanor charges still stand against the other five involved in the incident. In that incident, a 13- year -old scout was tied to a tree as pun ish rent. The youth was a member of a Middleton, Idaho, scout troop sponsored by the LDS Church.
