Klondike Challenge
The Annual Klondike Challenge is a fun way for our Scouts to demonstrate their Scouting skills. Scouts push a sled full of equipment around a course of 'towns' where they will be asked to complete common tasks like knot-tying, fire building, etc. It's a fun way to spend a Saturday with the Troop.
