Welcome to the 2026 Klondike Derby: Knights of the Ice Castle!

With honor and fortitude, prepare to defend the icy fortress of the Northern Kingdom, where legendary Knights live according to the Oath and Law. Scouts from far and wide are called to navigate the Ice Castle Trail, testing their skills, leadership, and teamwork to uncover the secrets of this frosty kingdom.

What Awaits You:

Skill and Leadership Challenges: Stations along the trail will test your Scout skills, communication, and problem-solving abilities. Only the most prepared teams will conquer the challenges!

Sled Race Showdown: Compete head-to-head with your sleds in a thrilling race across the snow to see which team is the fastest and most coordinated.

Knightly Cook-Off: Lead your Squires and Pages as your team crafts a dish in the ultimate “Knightly Chili Challenge.”

Camping & Camaraderie: Enjoy up to two nights of camping, a roaring campfire, and a reflective Scouts’ Own Service.

Gear up for an unforgettable weekend of cold-weather adventure, skill-building, and teamwork! Whether you brave the trail for a single day or stay the whole weekend, every Scout will walk away with tales of daring deeds, frosty fun, and maybe even a treasure or two.
