The Klondike will be a full day competition of stations, which will rely on the 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 Klondike winner to winner. 

When:  January 16th - 18th, 2026

Where: Rodney Scout Reservation
400 Rodney Scout Road
North East, MD 21901

Additional event patches are available for adults at a cost of $3/patch.

A limited number of Cabins and Bunkhouses are available for rent. They will be rented using a lottery system. If you would like to rent a cabin, please email dbruzzese@dmvc.org with "Enter in Lottery" in the subject line and your unit number in the message body. Entries must be received by October 26 @ 11:59pm

Any Troop without a cabin or bunkhouse will be assigned a Tent Camping Area at no additional charge. 
Tent Camping Areas will likely be shared between Troops based on registered attendance. 

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.  The adults will help in the facilitation of other activities that cannot be assigned to the Scouts. 

For questions or to volunteer to run a station, please contact Damian Ambrozewicz at dambroze@scouting.org
