Troop 1 Katonah, New York

Annual Family Dinner - Feb. 7 Our family dinner will be held at the Katonah Presbyterian Church at 6:30 pm on Thursday, Feb. 7 (Snow date Feb. 9). The cost is $15.00 per person. We will need a head count by Feb. 2 to be sure we have plenty of food! Please RSVP to htschorn@aol.com. We will have lots of troop memorabilia to browse through. If any of our alumni members have some pictures or a story that you'd like to share, please bring or send them to me ahead of time so they can be included. We would like to include as many alumni members of the troop as possible, so please forward this to anyone former Katonah Troop 1 Scouts who you think might be interested in joining us!

We promise… Spring will soon be here and now is the time to start thinking about some gorgeous flowers for your yard!  We are once again offering a variety of sun and shade-loving plants during our pre-sale from now through April 23.  Have a look at the accompanying order form and feel free to share it with friends, neighbors and co-workers!  CLICK THE IMAGE AT LEFT TO DOWNLOAD THE ORDER FORM The plants will be delivered from the grower in Canada the week of May 9.  We will give you a call when your order is ready to pick up.

CLICK HERE for our Troop Schedule We enjoy many activities related to camping, conservation, and the great outdoors. We schedule several hikes and campouts throughout the year, visiting local reservations and nature trails. We also take advantage of camping at Durland Scout Reservation (formerly Clear Lake) in Putnam Valley, New York. We also try to include long-distance historical trips, such as Bennington Battlefield, the Boston Freeedom Trail, Fort Ticonderoga, and many more. Besides the camping and hiking we do with our troop, there are three district events we regularly attend, the Fall Camporee, the Winter Klondike Derby, and the Spring Camporee. We also encourage our boys to attend summer camp with the troop. Our chartering organization is the Katonah Rotary Club . As active members of the community, we try to assist other organizations whenever we can. We help the Katonah Fire Department set up and help out at their annual Chili Night fundraiser
