  We tried something a little different for Thursday's meeting. The troop was split up into four groups. Each was given a pile of newspapers and some tape. Their task: create a table that would support an empty cardboard box, then fill that box with weight to test the design. We had some pretty surprising results ranging from no support at all to quite sturdy! Next Thursday, June 9, is Board of Review. You only need to attend if you are going before the Board of Review to get your next rank. If you need a Scoutmaster's Conference prior to Board of Review, you need to call Scoutmaster Hank Tschorn at 232-5420 and schedule one BEFORE THURSDAY. Whetehr or not you go to Board of Review, everyone is invited to enjoy the Katonah Fire Department Carnival ! The Whitewater Rafting Trip will be June 11 and Asst. Scoutmaster Chris Kristensen will be posting information about that soon. REMINDER: Katonah Firemen's Parade is Wednesday, June 8, stepping off at 7:00pm. Enjoy the para
