The Klondike Derby is a Scout camporee style competition for scouts with a focus on Tenderfoot through First Class skills, and a leadership event for older experienced scouts who are eligible to participate as “city staff” members or Yukon Rangers.

 

Patrols of scouts or “sled teams” pull a Klondike style dogsled on a course that passes through cities and stations named for cities in Alaska and perform tasks related to scout skills to accumulate points.

 

We will depart from Dr. Ys Friday afternoon and return Sunday afternoon.
