Please join us for the 2023 Annual Southeastern District Klondike Derby at J.N. Webster Scout Reservation in Ashford, CT. Patrols will need great leadership, scout skills, and teamwork to be successful at the 2023 Klondike Derby. We are asking all Troops to bring one can of Chicken Noodle/Rice Soup per person that will be used to make soup that can be enjoyed all day for free. (No cream soups please).

Prizes will be awarded to the top three Patrols with the highest combined scores for all events. Each Patrol will need a sled to carry their equipment to all the events and for the sled race. Patrols can have between 6-10 scouts. Events are designed so that all patrol members can participate and contribute. Dress warm and we hope to see everyone in February for a great time!!
