Chickasaw Council

Troop 22, led by its top salesman/scout Charles Wailes,[7] sold the most in the country and was recognized by President Woodrow Wilson.

In the spring of 1917, Wailes began to hear seemingly random characters being broadcast via a very clear signal.

He also owned a portable station-finder and carried it around the streets of Memphis, attempting to locate the mysterious signal.

After several attempts, Wailes believed he had pinpointed the signal's source at a home on Vance Avenue and notified his scoutmaster, who phoned the Memphis office of the Justice Department.

The site is located on a bluff overlooking the South Fork Spring River, near Hardy (in present-day Cherokee Village).

It was started as a full-year camping ground as opposed to Kia Kima which was only open during the summer.

Beginning in 1940 and lasting into the 1950s Currier was used for the Chickasaw Council summer camp program due to its proximity to Memphis while Kia Kima was closed.

This arm of Scouting's National Honor Society claims over 300 members and is one of the lodges in Section E3.

Ahoalan-Nachpikin promotes and hosts such events as LOAC (Lodge Order of the Arrow Conference, similar to NOAC), Fall Fellowship, and Induction Weekends.

Every week at summer camp the campers who best exemplified the Scout Oath and Law were led to a secret campfire circle in the woods and given an Indian name.

Koi Hatachie was founded in 1946 by the Delta Area Council under the original name White Panther.

During Camp Tallaha's campfire programs, there was a legend of an old Choctaw Indian Chief and his constant companion, a white panther.

The legend was so central to the camp that when the lodge was founded, the white panther was adopted as the totem and name.
