Klondike Derby at Camp Squanto on Saturday February 7th.

2026 Council Klondike Derby at Camp Squanto

Saturday, February 7th, 7:30AM-4PM

We will participate in the Klondike Derby to defend our hard earned championship title from the last Klondike.

From the organizers:

Join us for the 2026 Village of the Klondike, an exciting camp-wide adventure where Scouts will travel between themed villages to test their skills, teamwork, and Scout spirit. Throughout the day, each patrol will rotate from village to village, completing hands-on challenges designed to showcase their proficiency in essential outdoor and Scouting skills.

Scouts will begin by checking in with the Village Elder, then set out on their journey across camp. Each village offers a unique challenge—from fire building and rescue skills to orienteering, marksmanship, and pioneering construction. Patrols will earn points based on teamwork, accuracy, completion of tasks, and Scout-like conduct.

Scouts will be responsible for preparing and cooking their own lunch. Lunch will be scheduled , ensuring that each patrol has time to cook, eat, and reset before continuing their village rotations. During these same shifts, patrols will also participate in the Pancake Flipping Competition, giving everyone a chance to compete for the highest successfully flipped pancake.

At the end of the day, patrols will return to the Parade Field for the thrilling Sled Race, where teams will compete head-to-head to determine the Klondike Champions.

We need sign ups in advance for this event! The Troop must register each individual attending in advance.

Our preference is for sign ups BEFORE DECEMBER 31st to secure a discounted registration. You MUST sign up no later than January 16th or you will need to cover the late registration fee yourself.
