Klondike Derby February 10

• Klondike Derby – We are participating in the council Klondike this year on Saturday, February 10th at Camp Squanto
  • We will compete in patrol size groups against other Troops in our council! 
  • The early signup deadline has passed. You CAN still sign up but the fees have increased to $30 for Scouts and $17 for adults. We did not set the registration fee.
    • If you wish to purchase a Klondike Derby hat, those are an additional $15. ADULTS will not receive an event patch unless ordered for an additional $5 (Scouts WILL receive one as part of their sign up fee) 
  • MEDICAL FORMS – This event will use an electronic system called CampDoc to collect the required BSA medical information. After we register the Troop to attend, you (adults and parents of Scouts) will receive an email from the CampDoc system to set up a profile for each attendee. You MUST complete this before the event and should do so ASAP. Failure to complete this will result in you being turned away at the event. 
  • If you are attending, you must also complete the Mayflower Council consent/talent release form like we’ve had to complete for similar events in the past.

      • Anthony B
