Klondike Derby at Camp Trask

March 18, 2023

Get your patrol ready for Camporee by competing in this amazing competitive event, which uses a Klondike "Gold Rush" theme to complete a course using teamwork. MINIMUM of 4 Scouts, MAXIMUM of 6 Scouts per patrol. The Klondike Derby is a test of Scout skills and of the patrol method. If your troop routinely practices traditional Scout skills and is “Scout-led”, you’ll find nothing unfamiliar with what is expected of you to score well. No matter your score, your participation in this event will help make you a better troop and will strengthen the bonds that make good patrols. Ideally, Scouts will improve their abilities to work together as a patrol and have FUN doing so!
