Troop 54 will participate in the 2017 Klondike Derby at Camp Norse,
a Narragansett Council event. This will be our first event at this camp.
A Klondike Derby is a Boy Scout winter skill and camping event. Each patrol will pull a sled,
loaded with personal and patrol equipment. The Scouts will journey
across the snow (if there is any), stopping at different activity
stations. At these stations, they will be tested on their Scouting knowledge, team work, and
problem solving skills, competing against other patrols. One activity is a sled race. Depending on weather conditions, this can be on
snow, ice (on a frozen lake) dirt or mud. Remember - a Scout is Prepared. We can
put all terrain wheels on our sled if needed.
