The History of Nakona Lodge #150 SOUTH PLAINS COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS of AMERICA The History of Nakona Lodge #150 SOUTH PLAINS COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 76 Years of Service (1939 – Present) FOUNDERS OF THE SOUTH PLAINS COUNCIL KENNEDY N. CLAPP, DR. J. C. LOVELESS, L. S. HARKEY, MARSHALL MASON, SAM A. HENRY JOE N. SPIKES, DR. PAUL V. HORN, H. B. PALMER Written by W. R. Postma In the fall of 1924 Mr. L. S. Harkey approached K. N. Clapp with the idea of organizing an Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Clapp agreed to help and they gathered a group of men together including Sam Henry, Sr. of Lubbock, Marshall Mason of Post, Joe N. Spikes and Dr. J. C. Loveless of Lamesa and made an application for local Council Charter. The National Council chartered the South Plains Council, Boy Scouts of America in January 1925. The first president of the Council was Mr. Sim O'Neal, Vice- President , Mr. K. N. Clapp and the first Scout Executive was Mr. H. B. Palmer. Mr. Clapp organized a Scout Troop and this Scout Troop was used as an exhibition Troop. The Troop was taken from town to town throughout the area of the Council where they put on demonstrations of Scouting Skills and Camped in the City Square. This troop was followed up a few days later and Troops were organized throughout the Area Council by this procedure. The first camp of the Council was held in July 1925, 80 miles west of Roswell, New Mexico. The camping spot was at Ruidoso Springs, New Mexico, nearly 300 miles from Lubbock. 142 boys and 34 men camped for 10 days. The trip was made by truck. The budget for the first year's operation was originally set at $9,000.00 but was finally cut to $6,500.00. The first Council Commissioner was Mr. L. S. Harkey. The first record that can be found of the meeting of the Council's Executive Board was a luncheon held on October 30, 1925 in Lamesa. At this time there were 12 Troops within the Council with a membership of 306 boys. The first Annual Meeting of the Council was held at O'Donnell, Texas on January 19, 1926, at which time officers were elected for the New Year and a budget of $11,200.00, was adopted. In the fall, following the first camping trip to Ruidoso Springs, L. S. Harkey, H. B. Palmer, K. N. Clapp, and Marshall Mason toured the entire Council Area looking for a suitable campsite for the Council. None was found to please them and a short time later Marshall Mason called Mr.Clapp and asked him to come to Post because there was a site on the Double U Ranch that they had overlooked; Mr. Harkey, Mr. Clapp and Mr. Mason went out to look at the site and liked what they saw. In conference with Mr. Sam B. Bardwell, Manager of the Post Estate, they made application to the Post Estate for a portion of the ranch as a Camp. Mr. Clapp said they only expected about 160 acres so they asked for 300 acres and after Mr. Bardwell had swapped a piece of tillable land for another canyon. Mr. Bardwell told Mr. Clapp to go on back to Lubbock and write his own ticket on 400.77 acres of land. Mr. Clapp reports that no gift was ever given more graciously to the Council than the land by the Post Estate for the new C. W. Post Memorial Scout Camp. The paper work was completed on the gift of the Camp Property about three months before the summer camp of 1926. Mr. L. S. Harkey made Mr. Clapp the proposition the he would go raise the money to develop the Camp if Mr. Clapp would go build the camp. That's the way it turned out. The budget of the second year was cut form $11,200.00 to $6,500.00. The outstanding Board Meeting of 1926 was held on April 5th at Texas Tech College as guests of Dr. Paul Horn. The first record I find of completed Training Courses was in May 1926 when 3 training courses in Tahoka, O'Donnell and Lamesa were competed. The highlight of the year 1926 was the celebration Jubilee at the C.W. Post Memorial Boy Scout Camp where a free dinner was given to all who were present for the Dedicatory Ceremony. Approximately 2000 people were present. The Council, at this time, had a total of 29 Troops and 720 Scouts. The first session of Camp held at C. W. Post Memorial Scout Camp was held in August 1926. In September of the same year the Boy Scouts had their first Exhibits at the South Plains-Panhandle Fair. Seven troops set up Service Units that interested thousands of people into inquiring about Scouting. An interesting side light in September 1926 was the present price of cotton and excessive rains had delayed the collection of all Council Finances at that time. The first Field meets of the Council was held on December 29th and 7 troops from Lubbock attended. Courts of Honor were set up and held in Crosbyton and at Ralls during this month. 1927 In February, Dickens County was added to the South Plains Council. Mr. H. B. Palmer, the first Scout Executive of the Council left in February 1927 and MR. W. B. Knox who came in October followed him. During the interval a school man from Dallas came out and helped the Council during the summer months as their acting Scout Executive by the name of W. B. Yates. Mr. L. S. Harkey was president, during this year and Mr. L. G. H. Williams was the Council Commissioner. Dr. Paul V. Horn, Chairman of the Council Leadership Training Committee, organized the Training Courses for the Council in November. In December the Council President, National Council Committeemen, Scout Executive and several others represented the South Plains Council at it's first Regional Conference in Dallas. 1927 The membership at the end of 1925 was 422 boys, 98 adults, and 17 units making a total Council membership of 520. The total membership of 1926 was 655 boys, 129 adults, and 31 units, for a grand total membership of 784. During the years 1925, 1926, and 1927 tremendous difficulties were experienced in adequately financing the Council. 1928 An interesting figure recorded in January of this year showed that the population of the entire Council Territory was 61,000 people. Mr. R. J. Murrey was elected president of the Council in 1928. Mr. W. P. Knox, the second executive of the Council, left the Council in December. Plainview and the area in the old Central Plains Council joined the South Plains Council. 1929 Starting in January, Mr. K. N. Clapp, Council Commissioner, and Mr. L. G. H. Williams were the acting Scout Executives' on a volunteer basis for the Council. The Council was some $8,000.00 in debt. Executive Knox was removed by Deputy Regional Executive Mr. Voss on February 7th. Under Mr. Clapp's and Mr. William's leadership in March, we find listed in the program of the Council; Lubbock Scoutmaster Roundtable, Brownfield Court of Honor, organization of a troop in Post, organization of a troop in Slaton, Court of Honor in Lubbock and Tahoka, and a Finance Campaign in Spur. By April 30, Mr. Clapp and Mr. Williams, along with Mr. F. A. Norman, treasurer of the Council, had reduced the Council's debt down to $2,200.00 and had increased the Scouting Membership from 385 to 511, troops from 19 to 28. This year was closed out showing that under Mr. Clapp and Mr. Williams the expenses of this year were $9,063.22, with the total of $9,942.10 having been taken in on their Finance Campaign. 1929 membership showed that there were 31 units with 554 scouts, 287 adults, making a total of 841 membership. 1930 Budget for this year was set at $11,000.00. A new Executive by the name of D. T. Jennings who came from Missouri was employed in May. This year was ended with the total of 610 scouts, 314 adults, for a grand total membership of 924 in 31 units. 1931 Mr. T. A. White was elected president of the Council at the Council's Annual Meeting on January 29, 1931 . On May 10th, the first session of the Scoutmaster's Training Course was held at Texas Tech College and the Southern District held an overnight Camp and Field Meet in Tahoka. The budget for this year was $6,000.00. Highlight in the month of July was a Scout Family Picnic and Campfire Court of Honor at Lubbock . Another highlight occurred in November when we find the first record of a school survey for prospective members of Boy Scout Troops. The membership at the end of December was 539 scouts, 200 adults, and 28 units with a grand total membership of 739. 1932 Mr. W. G. McMillan of Lubbock was elected President of the Council in January and Mr. K. N. Clapp, Council Commissioner. The highlight of this year was the First Aid Training Session. The budget was set at $2,600.00. We find during 1932 that meetings were held of all Eagle Scouts in the Council. In July, the first mention of intradistrict Scout Swimming Meets. We find the first mention in October of Old Clothes Campaigns and Toy Campaigns being held by the Boy Scouts. In December, instead of a $2,600.00 budget, we find that the total cash receipt that year was $3,796.00 and total expenses $3,915.00.

  • Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience Annual
    2015 Annual REPORT Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience MESSAGE From the President is an honor to present to you The NRA Foundation’s Annual Report for 2015. Our thanks go to you IT and your generous commitment to support The Foundation’s activities. Grants awarded to qualified programs from The NRA Foundation totaled $33.5 in 2015 and now exceed $300 million in funding since inception through more than 38,000 grants in support of the shooting sports. Funds raised by Friends of NRA continue to provide resources for expansion, growth and development of eligible programs at the local, state and national levels. A high priority of The NRA Foundation is its support of public educational programs across America. The NRA Foundation is committed to working together in planning for the future of the shooting sports and standing behind our country’s traditions. To that end, I would like to offer a special thank you to the gun collecting community. Collectors play a vital role in preserving our history and the American culture of freedom. As stated by NRA President and distinguished firearms collector, Allan Cors: “Whether it’s hunting, competitive shooting, or gun collecting, when you introduce someone new to the activities we enjoy, you’re giving firearms and the freedom to own them a new ally, shareholder and believer. That helps the NRA, but more importantly, it secures the freedoms the NRA fights for.” The Foundation is proud of its role in funding support for thousands of eligible programs in communities across the country, and without you our success would not be possible.

Camping and the outdoor program is an important aspect of Scouting. Scouting strives to build character, citizenship, and fitness. When scouts go camping, this growth just seems to follow. Patrol and troop camping are models and a testing ground for life in society where each scout learns to accept responsibility and to exercise good judgment. Camping contributes to the interaction among fellow scouts in positive and supportive ways since Scouts who camp will soon come face to face with practical applications of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
