Out of an abundance of caution, after consulting with the Council’s Health & Safety Committee, there will be no tent camping authorized for Friday (2/3) night into Saturday morning. With temperatures expected to be well below zero before factoring in the wind-chill, it is with the safety of our Scouts and our Leaders that we have made this decision.

Cold injuries will be quick this weekend especially in an overnight setting if gear isn’t appropriate.

This applies to all Spirit of Adventure units, regardless of if they are planning on attending one of this weekend’s Klondike Derbies, or if going on an individual troop or crew camping trip.

Thank you for your understanding, and for keeping the safety of our Scouts paramount.
