Klondike Derby – January 21, 2017
Troop 24 is planning a day outing to Bemis Woods South on Saturday, January 21, 2017, to participate in the Voyageur Trace District’s Klondike Derby. Scouts will meet at RPC at 7:30 a.m. and return the same day at approximately 3:00 p.m.
Troop 24 won first place at last year’s Klondike Derby and we need to bring one patrol of scouts to defend our title. The patrol will take our sled through a course of morning activities and compete in the VT Iditarod Sled Race in the afternoon. Scouts should be prepared for fun and challenges. All activities will be outside, so scouts should dress appropriately for the weather.
The cost of this outing will be $7.00 and a can of non-cream soup (to be dumped into the “Klondike Kettle”). Scouts should also bring a sack lunch/snack to accompany the soup.
We are in need of leaders and drivers. Since this outing is close, drivers do not need to stay. Adults are welcome to stay and participate. Space is limited for this outing. The deadline to register is Wednesday, January 18, 2017. Contact Carrie Staubus at carrie@staubus.net with any questions.
