Klondike Derby


GET READY FOR THE KLONDIKE DERBY!



Troop 59 is headed to the Klondike Derby, it's been a long time since we've been there and it is a great time.  Kind of like the Trophy Challenge but with snow, so make sure you come.  Don't forget to dress warm!


Here are some details on the Klondike Derby this month.
Date & Time:
01/24/2014 - 01/25/2014
We will leave CSMC at 5:30 pm.

COST=$25/Person (Adults also)

Location:
Waterloo Harbor Campground
1314 Waterloo Geneva Rd.
Waterloo NY 13165

ALL SCOUTS AND ADULTS REQUIRE MEDICAL FORMS PARTS A&B.  (see the email sent for the forms)
If your forms are not current I will be sending you a separate email with blank forms attached.

ALL SCOUTS WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN BIATHALON WILL REQUIRE A PERMISSION TO SHOOT FORM. (see the email sent for the forms)

Friday evening camping includes a bon fire and cracker barrel. Saturday includes events designed to test scout skills from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday.  Events include lunch which is included with the event cost. Closing Ceremonies and awards are from 2-3pm, then we will return to CSMC by 4:30pm
Attached is a schedule of events.  If you are interested please sign up at next week’s meeting or contact me and I will add you to the list. DEADLINE FOR SIGNUP IS TUESDAY JANUARY 7TH.

At this point we need  one more boys for two sleds, if we get more we can enter a third.  This is a contest, similar to Trophy Challenge- each sled will be its own Patrol.

I hope to see some more Scouts (and adults) sign up for this one. I know it sounds cold but we have been on Spring campouts that were colder than it is today!  It is a lot of fun- I did it myself when I was a Scout and it was a great experience and a lasting memory!
