Webelos Klondike, Bowl-o-Ree this weekend

The Klondike Derby is a winter competition event for Webelos Scouts during which dens pull their Klondike sleds along a course in the woods. Along the way, they will be tested on Scouting skills at about 10 stations. The event finishes with the awarding of “The Pole”, patches and ribbons. The Klondike Derby provides an opportunity for Scouts to apply their Scouting skills in a fun competition. The event comes alive with the use of the lore of the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon.
Troop 1 Katonah will be running the Knot Tying Station at the Muscoot Distruct Webelos Klondike Derby this Saturday, March 5. We need volunteers (youth and adults) to help run this station.

This is a reminder that on Sunday, March 6 at 3:00 pm at Carmel Bowl, Troop 1 will be participating in the 31th Annual William E Kelly Bowl-O-Ree to support the Special Needs Youth Learning for Life Program. All the funds raised from our troop will benefit the Special Needs Youths! Each boy will bowl two (2) games and please have them wear their uniforms. Prizes are as follows:
  • Patches for all participants
  • $100+ club shirts for boys who raise that much or more
  • Prizes for the top 30 boys who raise the most (in the council)
  • Grand prize drawing for a Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, Webelos, Boy Scouts, Venturer or Explorer who raises more than $300.00 to win a $1,500 Savings Bond.
We handed out the pledge sheet at the troop dinner to all the scouts so they were able to collect pledges. There is a minimum pledge per boy of $35. As mentioned, we have decided to collect flat donations instead of a per pin pledge. The boys should then collect the money at the time of pledge so it can be turned into the bowling coordinators at the event. The boys must have this pledge sheet and money to bowl.

We need to have a full head count of participating boys no later than March 4, 2010. You can RSVP by phone or email to either Lisa and Dwight Eisenhower at 273-2425 or lisaeisenhower at aol.com. If you have any questions regarding this event please feel free to call. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at this fun filled event!

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...

History of Troop 1 Katonah - 1919-2009

1910s American businessman W.D. Boyce brought the concept of Boy Scouting to our shores in 1910. Boyce was convinced that the ideals of Scouting would be a perfect fit for the youth of America. At that time, our village was still settling down into its new location. Only thirteen years prior, the village was picked up and moved to avoid being wiped off the map by the new Muscoot Reservoir . Life in “New Katonah” also included new technology, with electric and telephone service introduced around 1916. The last horse was sold at the local livery stable in 1917, and automobiles were becoming more common. As America was looking forward to the promise of the next decade, the world was becoming a very different place. America was recovering from its first global conflict, then known as the “War to End All Wars.” The Armistice treaty was signed in November 1918, officially ending the hostilities of World War I. The newly formed League of Nations was formed to promote peace and broker resol...
