Mecklenburg County Boy Scouts of America
Hornets Nest District - Klondike Derby
Camp Grimes
February 24-26, 2023
Event Details
The Klondike Derby is a Scouts BSA competition for younger scouts with a focus on Tenderfoot through First Class skills, and a leadership event for older scouts who are eligible to participate as “staff” members or Yukon Rangers. “Sled teams” pull a Klondike style dogsled on a course that passes through cities and stations named for cities in Alaska and perform tasks to accumulate points.
Meals
All meals should be arranged by each unit in your campsite. This year, we will not open the Dinning Hall for meals, however, we will have a special Cracker Barrel before the Campfire on Saturday Night.
Note: Each sled team/patrol will prepare a hot breakfast that will be judged, and a bag lunch that will be carried with the sled team.
