2008 Memorial Day Parade

Katonah Troop 1 participated in the villages annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 26. Staging began at the Katonah Fire House where our boys lined up in proper parade formation, carrying the American flag and the Troop flag. This year, Patrol Leader Kyle Winthers led the troop through the parade route, past enthusiastic supporters. The parade left the firehouse, headed down Katonah Avenue, past Depot Plaza, and then up Park Way to the circle where we paused for memorial ceremonies and remarks. We then continued down Bedford Road and concluded at the firehouse, where the boys were treated to ice cream from the KFD. This year we marched with the Webelos who just joined our Troop, swelling our ranks to more than 20 boys, which made for an impressive showing at this year's parade.

Our visit to the Campfire Club of America

On Thursday April 16, 2009, Troop 1 Katonah visited the Campfire Club of America at their private camp in Chappaqua, where we were taught about conservation and preservation of the world's wildlife. When we arrived, we were introduced to the two men in charge of the club. They told us a little bit about how the club was started back around the turn of the century. Among their famous charter members were Theodore Roosevelt, Ernest Thompson Seton (the first Chief Scout), William Hornaday . The Campfire Club treated us to an amazing dinner which consisted of homemade burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and some deserts. After dinner, we walked around the lodge and observed the different trophy animals that were displayed all over the club. One room was dedicated to North America which consisted of examples of many animals from across the continent. In the other room, there many examples of wildlife from Africa. It was pretty cool. Who would have known there was that many animals in Afric
