Horace A Moses Scout Reservation
Russell, Massachusetts
Event Description
Troop 54 will participate in the General Knox Klondike Derby at Moses Scout Reservation. This event has a time travel theme: Back to the Klondike.
A Klondike Derby is a Boy Scout winter skill and camping event. Each patrol will pull a sled, loaded with personal and patrol equipment. The Scouts will journey across the snow (if there is any), stopping at different activity stations. At these stations, they will be tested on their Scouting knowledge, team work, and problem solving skills, competing against other patrols. One activity is a sled race. Depending on weather conditions, this can be on snow, ice (on a frozen lake) dirt or mud. Remember - a Scout is Prepared. We can put all terrain wheels on our sled if needed.
In keeping with the theme, each activity station is based on a different era.
