Klondike Derby – “Gold in the Cold!” – February 14, 2015
Troop 24 is planning a day outing to Bemis Woods on February 14, 2015, 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.
The theme of this year’s derby is “Gold in the Cold!” Patrols will take their 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. Last year Troop 24 took second place and was also able to showcase their awesome first aid skills!
The cost of this outing will be $10.00 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 will be looking for 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, February 11, 2015. Contact Joan Janopoulos at joanj360@gmail.com with any questions.
