Welcome to a new year of Scouting!

Welcome to a great new year of Scouting activities! We have a lot of great events planned for throughout the year, and we're looking forward to sharing them with everyone!

The updated troop calendar for 2012-2013 can be found by clicking the link at the top of this page, or by following this link: http://ktny.blogspot.com/p/2012-2013-troop-schedule.html

Any updates to the troop calendar will be posted here. As we stressed in the opening meeting, please review our troop calendar with your own schedules for sports, school plays, band recitals, vacations, etc. We want your son to get the most out of Scouting, and we want them to participate as much as possible.

Just a reminder, meetings start at 7:30p.m., and we meet at Katonah Elementary School gymnasium unless otherwise specified. We're gearing up to prepare for two great events later this month, and we need everyone's help and support to make it happen.

Our next meeting is Thursday, September 14. See you there!

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 .
