Board of Review, Whitewater Rafting Trip

 
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 parade (you may see some people you know marching!) and don't forget to support the Fire Department and enjoy the Carnival!

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...
