The Klondike is a traditional patrol-based event for Scouts BSA members (ages 11 - 17). Patrol members must work together to navigate the course and compete in the challenges. Each "Dog Team" (so-called because Scouts act as Huskies), will be traveling around camp with a sled built before the event. The sled must remain with the group at all times and will be used to carry any equipment they need for challenges.
A map/score sheet given to the acting Senior Patrol Leader at registration. The map guides the team over a field course to each challenge. The stations can be visited on any order you like, but if the station is backed up, instead of waiting -try another station. A practical problem involving basic Scouting skills will be encountered at each stop. Depending on how well the team works out this problem, it will be awarded a number of points and have their score sheet marked and be off to the next station.
This year we are offering a camping option for Troops that want to work on their cold weather camping skills . Scouts can stay in the OA Lodge or camp outside.
