Troop 24 will be entering the Klondike Derby at National Grove-South (McCormick Woods) at Des Plaines Ave & 29th Street in North Riverside on Saturday, January 22, 2022. 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 Iditarod Sled Race in the afternoon. The Lost Boy patrol will meet during the Thursday meeting on Jan 20 to prepare for the race, review their scout skills, and get the sled ready to fly! All Klondike Derby activities will be outside, so scouts should dress appropriately for the weather.

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, a 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 19, 2022.
