Time to sign up for the Klondike Derby!

Once again the troop with be participating in the District Klondike Derby on January 25-27, 2019 in Harper's Ferry WV.

The Klondike Derby is a competition of patrol skills, individual knowledge, teamwork, and ingenuity kicks off the Alaska gold rush. Along the way, Scouts will be able to earn extra gold for their Scout Spirit but might also fall victim to claim jumpers. The object is simple: earn gold for Scout Skills, Scout Spirit, and Patrol Cooperation while having fun in the winter cold. Patrols will use a map and station list to determine which competitions they want to try. The Patrols plan their routes, select their stations, and budget their time to maximize their winnings.

Cost is $60 each and includes everything! The cabin, all meals, snacks, everything!  

Cut-off for sign-ups is Dec 01! so we can reserve those nice warm cabins!
Sign-up on the Troop site!
