Troop 437 is participating in the West Wind District Klondike Derby on February 5th. During the troop meetings in January the scouts will be preparing for this event by building sleds and collecting and organizing equipment to meet the challenges of the event.  This is a full day event and each patrol will need a good turnout in order to compete.

Patrols are under the guidance and leadership of their Patrol Leader or SPL. This is an event for the youth leader to put his leadership skills to a test.

FOOD
 
Hot water and hot cocoa packets will be provided throughout the day in multiple locations. You will need to supply your own cup and spoon. Each Scout is asked to bring a can of soup (no cream soups) that can be combined to create a Hobo soup stew which will be available throughout the day at a central location. Each patrol should plan on cooking a hot lunch while traveling to the different stations.
