January 2009 Klondike Derby | |
This year Troop 55 was represented at the
Klondike Derby by the Bear Patrol. Klondike Derby is a fun event held every winter. All of your gear is carried
on your sled. You travel from one "city" to another, find out what your task is from the "mayor" of that
city and accumulate points based on how you did. This year, the max score was 70 points. The Bear Patrol
scored 68 points. Great job guys!!! Thanks to Casey for the pictures. | |

Some of the parents came along as their "support crew". They could observe but not help or interfere. |

Food and snacks on a cold day. A great way to warm up and get ready for the rest of the day. | |
The fire doesn't really keep you warm. Reading about the next challenge. |

Everyone had fun. The scouts did a great job and learned what they needed to work on for next year. |
