On the weekend of January 20-21, 2012, we will attend the
Thunderbird District Klondike Derby. 

 

The permission slip for the event is here.
The registered participant list is here.

On this event, scouts will demonstrate their scouting skills in competition with other troops in Thunderbird District.

Since the scouts will be busy all day, the adults will cook for the entire troop!  All participants will still need to bring mess kits.

The fee for the event is $15.00 which includes the cost of the food.  Any credits will go to the scouts account.

We will assemble at St. Sabina Gym at 5:30 PM and depart at 6:00 PM on Friday 2012-01-20.
Scouts will need to bring winter camping gear:

  • Boots
  • Hat
  • Gloves
  • Coat (water proof)
  • Flashlight
  • Sleeping Bag
  • At least one change of clothes (three changes of socks)

We also plan on dining out on Saturday evening after the Klondike.
Scouts should bring additional money ($10-$12) for eating at either:
Pizza Street or Rib Crib!
Familes are welcomed to join us for dinner.

The December campout (with Missouri Town) is usually one of the best regular campouts because it’s like visiting a living museum and the boys are free to have fun! 

Activities will include:

 

 

 Missouri Town Links:

Here are two sites.. with *lots* of food ideas!

Hint:  Prepare some at home in getting the ingredients ready and pre-measured, and save a lot of effort in camp!

Pre-made from scratch pizza crusts could be partially cooked at home, and finished with toppings and sauce in a dutch oven, cooking in just a few minutes each.  Yum!
