Photos from our June Court of Honor

Our June Court of Honor and final meeting of the year were held on Thursday, June 14, at St. Mary's Schoo. Merit Badges and rank advancement were handed out, and our accomplishments for the year were tallied. It was a successful season for Katonah Troop 1, with many blue ribbons added to our trophy case! Everyone should be proud of a job well done. Thanks to all of the parents and volunteers who make it all happen... See you this summer at Camp Read!

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
