Plant Sale and Reminders


Getting ready to start the meeting...


 At Thursday's meeting I handed out the order forms for our spring plant sale. About 5 boys did not get theirs- they have names on them so I know who is missing one! Those 5 will be brought to the meeting on Thursday. Parents, please check with your sons to get the order form. They are also available on the website if yours is missing! You can call Mary Tschorn if you have any plant sale questions at 232-5420. She would like some volunteers to sell plants from our driveway on May 23. Let her know if you'd be able to help.



We are still missing one tent- so have a look around in your garages, basements etc. for it. Bring it to the meeting when it's been located, please!


The patrols are preparing for a campout this weekend, to be held at Pound Ridge Reservation. We will arrive on Saturday and be camping out overnight. This will help many of our Scouts get requirements they need for rank advancement, and good practice for the upcoming Spring Camporee. It is very important that we have good participation from the patrols for this campout.


Remember there will be no meeting next week- April 5- but we'll see you this Thursday!

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...
