Klondike Derby

The pack looks to participate in the activity to support our scouts getting outside in the winter months with a well-rounded scout-skills activity. The Pack also participates by supporting the running of a station. Leaders/parents will be needed for transportation and to help out at our station. Usually, we will take the meeting prior to organize and prepare our scouts for the event. Each scout will receive an activity patch for the event that they may wear on their uniform.
