Four Troop 55 Scouts braved the winter weather and with true Scout spirit competed in the 2012 Klondike derby at Camp Tadma. Like explores of the old Klondike, the boys dealt with rough terrain, cold temperatures, and tough competition from the other troops.
The boys displayed amazing teamwork on their quest... They had an opportunity to demonstrate their skills in knot tying, first aid, orienteering, etc as they made their way through the race course.
We also enjoyed a fine Chili dinner with Pudding Pies for desert which we shared with the other troops at the pot luck dinner. We had a great turnout at this year's Klondike with 228 Scouts in attendance; we all had a blast…
I'd like to thank Mr. Moran and Mr. Esposito for braving the cold and Mr. Hill for visiting on Saturday; the help was much appreciated. I've never been on a trip where the water and bug juice in the coolers froze solid so hats and gloves off to the boys for hanging in there. I think we all learned more about winter camping!
