This year will require patrols have a prefabricated base of a sled prior to starting the Klondike. The day of the competition, the Scouts will be required to finish the sled by lasing the railing and handles.
This link provides an example of sleds we are looking for. Some deviation is allowed, but all components must be lashed onto the prefabricated base. The Klondike will be a full day competition of stations, which will rely on patrol method and scouting skills. The top patrol will be awarded the Golden Nugget for a year, which is the annual trophy that passes from annual Klondike winner to winner.
Stations will be run and sponsored by the Troops. We are requesting volunteers from the Troops, at the minimum, two adults per Troop. The adults will be part of the event's core staff and invited to attend our December (12/11/18) and January (1/8/19) planning meetings. To be held at the LDS church of Newark, DE at 7 pm.
The adults will help in the facilitation of other activities that cannot be assigned to the Scouts.
