TOM KITA CHARA the Lodge of the Leaping Buck 1936-2015 A Short History of TOM KITA CHARA The Lodge of the Leaping Buck 1936-2015 Many years ago, a buck leaped through our Grand Council Ring during our first call-out ceremony. From that memorable event, we adopted the name Tom Kita ŚĂƌĂ͕ ǁŚŝĐŚ ŵĞĂŶƐ ͞ůĞĂƉŝŶŐ ďƵĐŬ͟ ŝŶ ƚŚĞ ůĂŶŐƵĂŐĞ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ůŽĐĂů tŝƐĐŽŶƐŝŶ Chippewa Indians. June 2015 Preface It was a simple sounding request. ͞ĂŶLJŽƵǁƌŝƚĞĂŚŝƐƚŽƌLJŽĨdŽŵ<ŝƚĂŚĂƌĂ>ŽĚŐĞĨŽƌƚŚĞ EĂƚŝŽŶĂůKƌĚĞƌŽĨƚŚĞƌƌŽǁĐĞůĞďƌĂƚŝŽŶŝŶϮϬϭϱ͍͟ It did not sound like a big problemͶwe thought! When this project began, it seemed it would be a straightforward merging of the five or six booklets that were written for the various lodge, camp, and council anniversaries. But, as we started delving into the booklets and supporting information, things began to get complicated. We started finding misfiled documents we did not know were in our files. There were the old records and photographs we thought were long lost. Then there were the files being given to us by older members, etc., etc. We heard conflicting memories and found multiple versions of events. We began to realize that what we thought was a neat, orderly, 80-year history was anything but. We also realized that if we just merged the fiǀĞŽƌƐŝdž͞ŚŝƐƚŽƌŝĐĂů͟ŬůĞƚƐƚŚĂƚǁĞŚĂǀĞ͕ we would be repeating the mistakes of the past. As many of us have found, it is very difficult to correct a mistake once it is written down and published, especially when it finds its way to the Internet. Our problem was that we would be able to write a small but accurate start to our lodge history, but not the comprehensive one we had hoped for. If we wanted to write something that we could be proud of doing, that would not only correct the mistaken historical fragments but possibly explain what happened and why, then we had to do a restart. We decided that the best way to write an accurate and comprehensive history of the Samoset- Tesomas-TKC family should be like growing a tree. We would create a solid and accurate trunk. This outline would be the start. ƐƐŽŽŶĂƐƚŚŝƐǁĂƐĨŝŶŝƐŚĞĚ͕ǁĞǁŽƵůĚƐƚĂƌƚĂĚĚŝŶŐ͞ďƌĂŶĐŚĞƐ͟ and flesh out our story with the help of youth and adult volunteers. This should be an excellent way to get more Arrowmen involved in our exciting 80 years of history. 1 Introduction Scouting began in the central Wisconsin area in 1910, within months of the actual founding of the BSA itself. Ten years later a mini version of Samoset Council was created, which would eventually grow into the 13-county council we now have. About the same time, Council camp- ing began, as well as a number of smaller local camping sites outside of the council used by non-council units. In 1935, Camp Tesomas was built and, in 1936, Tom Kita Chara was chartered. The history of Tom Kita Chara Lodge is closely entwined with that of Samoset Council and the cŽƵŶĐŝů͛ƐĐĂŵƉƐ͕ŝŶƉĂƌƚŝĐƵůĂƌĂŵƉdĞƐŽŵĂƐ͘ĂĐŚŽĨƚŚĞthree organizations has provided the others with support and opportunities for growth and success. It would be difficult to write a complete history of TKC without including the histories of Samoset Council and Camp Tesomas. ^ŽůĞƚ͛ƐďĞŐŝŶŽƵƌƐƚŽƌLJ͘͘͘ 2 Samoset Council The long and celebrated history of Samoset Council began within months of the chartering of the National Boy Scouts of America in 1910. Prior to the creation of a chartered council in 1920, there were several troops of Boy Scouts actively engaged in the Scouting program in Wausau and the surrounding counties. As far as we have been able to determine, the first chartered troop was the original Troop #1 at the Universalist Church chartered in mid-1910 in the city of Wausau, Wisconsin. In 1920, the Wausau Council Boy Scouts was chartered as a first class council. The date on the charter is listed as July 30, 1920. Over the next 10 years, a number of small county-sized councils joined with the Wausau Council. On April 29, 1930, the name of the combined councils changed to Samoset Council Boy Scouts and included Marathon, Lincoln, Langlade, and Oneida counties. During the following 10 years, more small, local, county-sized councils joined with Samoset to form the current 13- county organization. Currently, Samoset Council is headquartered at the Wausau Homes Scout Center in Weston, Wisconsin. /ƚŝƐƚŚĞŶĂƚŝŽŶ͛ƐĨŝƌƐƚ^ĐŽƵƚcenter that hosts both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. The council service center provides resources and information to the Scout family of chartered partners and their leaders. Services include volunteer training, badges of rank and advancement records, processing of registration, reservations for use of our great camping facilities and programs, and personal leadership from a trained staff. Scouting merchandise, resources, and supplies are available through the Scout shop located in the Scout center. In 2015, Samoset celebrates 95 years of providing the Scouting experience to youth. 3 Council Camps: Long-Term Camping CAMP CHICKAGAMI (1921²1974) The story of Chickagami is different in its formation than the camps of its neighbors. While all of the development was going on in the north, the areas that eventually would be the southern part of Samoset Council were developing their own camps. Back in 1921, June 21st to be exact, the Stevens Point Council leased a piece of land bordering Sunset Lake for a Scout camp. On January 31, 1928, Mr. Nelson deeded the land to a group of trustees; namely, G.W. Mead, J.W. Dunegan, E.A. Oberheiser, I.P. Witter, E.B. Robertson, and L.M. Alexander, who were to control the land for civic purposes. This land was on the southeast shore of Sunset Lake. In 1924, Clinton Copps donated a parcel at the foot of Arrowhead Hill, across the lake, which added to the camp property. By August 30, 1948, the heirs of the original trustees deeded the land to a new set of trustees representing the Scout districtͶone each, North Wood, South Wood, and Portage, along with two judges, one from Wood County and one from Portage County. The trustees were Hiram Anderson, Gary Velde, William Wenzel, Judge Jenkins, and Judge Fink. Between 40 and 50 acres around Arrowhead Hill were added by a donation from H. Anderson. Although the land under the trusteeship was never deeded to the Boy Scout council, it was leased to them for camp and other Scout-related functions until May of 1975. At that time, Samoset Council sub-let the lease and stopped the summer program at this Scout camp. The Scouts of Samoset Council still use the camp from October to April for winter programs. During the operating years, the camp had five one-week campouts for 50 to 60 boys. The facilities included a mess hall, kitchen, seven cabins, office director's cabin, and equipment. The camp is now being operated by the Central Wisconsin Environmental Center for their activities. The program is primarily for environmental education and interpretation. CRYSTAL LAKE SCOUT RESERVATION By the late 1990s, it became apparent that there were many opportunities for more efficient use of staff, supplies, food services, and programming if the Scouting activities around Crystal Lake were consolidated and organized as a formal Scout reservation. So in 1999, Samoset Council established the Crystal Lake Scout Reservation (CLSR). The Scout reservation occupies over 95% of the land around Crystal Lake, a spring-fed lake with many species of freshwater fish. It consists of the three camps which provide year-round programs to Scouts of all ages: Akela's World for Cub Scouts and Webelos; Tesomas Scout Camp, a Boy Scout summer camp; and Hanna Venture Base for Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts. Currently, Crystal Lake Scout Reservation attendance exceeds 6,000 campers annually. The three camps retain their individual identities but are operated under the umbrella of the Crystal Lake Scout Reservation. 4 Tesomas Scout Camp Tesomas Scout Camp traces its roots back to May 12, 1934, when L.A. Leadbetter donated a small tract of land bordering Crystal Lake in northern Wisconsin to Samoset Council, BSA, for the construction of a Scout camp. Those original 12 acres have since grown into a 1,200-acre Scout reservation, the ĐŽƌŶĞƌƐƚŽŶĞŽĨ^ĂŵŽƐĞƚŽƵŶĐŝů͛Ɛ^ĐŽƵƚŝŶŐŵŽǀĞŵĞŶƚ͘ &ŽůůŽǁŝŶŐ>ĞĂĚďĞƚƚĞƌ͛ƐŝŶŝƚŝĂůĐŽŶƚƌŝďƵƚŝŽŶ͕ƚŚĞZŚŝŶĞůĂŶĚĞƌZŽƚĂƌLJůƵďƌĂŝƐĞĚΨϮϱ͕ϬϬϬƚŽďƵŝůĚ a lodge and purchase an additional 120 acres of land.

The Rhinelander Rotarians broke ground for the promised lodge in 1935. Although greatly expanded and renovated, the Rotary Lodge (now named the Schultz-Kieffer Fellowship Lodge) still serves as the heart of Tesomas Scout Camp over 75 years later. Tesomas Scout Camp started as a small council camp but has developed into a camp of regional and national fame, due to its popular summer camp program. Boy Scout troops from across the nation have camped at Tesomas. It currently serves over 4,000 campers per summer.

It provides many advancement opportunities that take advantage of its beautiful outdoor setting. Hanna Venture Base When it opened in 2000, Hanna Venture Base also became an integral part of the CLSR. It is the place for Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts to experience high adventure. The facility features an indoor climbing wall and an outdoor 60-foot climbing tower, with walls for three difficulty levels of climbing and rappelling, plus an attached 400-foot zip line.
