Klondike Derby

The Klondike Derby is a challenging midwinter contest of teamwork and Scouting skills. A Patrol challenge course that will test your leadership and teamwork and your skills in First Aid, Camping, Pioneering, Orienteering & Scout Knowledge. Come out for the day or winter camp overnight. Four Mile Run District’s Klondike Derby is the Patrol Method in action – with sleds! Are you up to the challenge? 

​

Your “team” (patrol or crew) will pull a dog sled you have built yourself (ahead of time) over a course through woods and fields. Your sled is loaded with the equipment you will need for the day’s activities. The trail will take you to a number of Klondike "towns" spread along the route. Upon arriving at each "town," you should formally report to the town mayor who assigns you a task.  The challenges at the towns are fun activities that test your skills, your ability to work together as a team, your leadership and your Scout spirit.
