Troop 1 Katonah, New York

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 fo...

We handed out the pledge sheet at the troop meeting to all the scouts so they were able to collect pledges. There is a minimum pledge per boy of $40.

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 mus...

After the event was over, we camped out overnight at Lean-to #3, taking advantage of milder-than-usual temperatures for our winter camping. Enjoy these photos by Alex Bacon.
