| The
Klondike Derby was held at Beaumont Scout
Reservation. Mr. Drown was the coordinator for
this event. Our troop had two patrols competing
this year. The campout was a great experience for
everybody. It was a fun time of competing outside
and then returning to a warm cabin. We were happy
that after the warm winter weather that we
actually had plenty of snow for a Klondike. The
planned events were both fun and challenging. One
of our favoite events was the blindfolded tent
assembly. Another high point of the campout was
the food prepared by Mr. Finn and both patrols.
The scouts in attendance got along well for the
whole weekend. The weather was cold but if you
dressed appropriately in snow pants and snow gear
you were comfortable and the cabins were warm to
return to. Even though we did not come away with
a spirit stick we had fun! |
