Troop 24 will be entering the Voyageur Trace Klondike Derby at Bemis Woods South on Saturday, January 20, 2018.  Scouts will meet at Riverside Presbyterian Church at 7:30 a.m. and return the same day at approximately 3:00 p.m.

We will form our annual Lost Boy Patrol of  8 scouts to take the Troop 24 sled through a course of Scout Craft activities and compete in the VT Iditarod Sled Race in the afternoon. Scouts should be prepared for fun and Scout Craft challenges. The Lost Boy patrol will meet during the Thursday meetings on Jan 11 & 18 to prepare for the race, review their scout skills, and get the sled ready to fly!  All activities will be outside, so scouts should dress appropriately for the weather.

The cost of this outing will be $8.00 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, water bottle/canteen for the trail, and a lot of enthusiasm to bring home the Gold!

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 10, 2018. Contact Scoutmaster John Flaherty at JEF2004@msn.com with any questions.

LET’S BRING THE TROPHY BACK TO TROOP 24!!!
