Klondike 2013



After weeks of getting ready, Klondike finally arrived. The weather was amazing with just the right amount of snow.

Everyone had a great time especially the guys doing their first Klondike.  Even the adult leaders who volunteered looked like they were having fun.

There were 31 sleds teams from 16 different Scout troops from our council.

There were many different events and we had a hard time getting to all of them. From what I heard people chattering about, each sled team did their best to score points and have fun.

At the end of the day on Saturday, everyone was very tired, but we all survived Klondike 2013.


Congratulations to each of the groups who won a trophy! The Dragons sled team from 137 took 3rd place in the Warriors Division and Da Blues sled team took 3rd place in the Braves division.  The Warriors also took 3rd place in the sled race at the end of the day. Great work guys!

Here are some of the great pictures that many people from our troop were able to take.  Thanks for sending them. I will be posting new photos, so stop back often.
