SURF'S UP!

At Camp Bomazeen, Kennebec Valley District has planned the District’s Annual Klondike Derby to be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 656 Horsepoint Rd., North Belgrade. 

The LEADERS GUIDE will DOLE out the basic information you and your patrol members will need to help get you started.  Your scoutmaster will SPAM you up-to-date on further developments.  

Just what is a Klondike Derby?  Well, it’s like this.  The Klondike Derby is a fun-filled activity patterned after the days of the Yukon Gold Rush.  Patrols build sledges like the early prospectors used as they hunted for gold.  The members of your patrol serve as a team of huskies to pull your patrol’s sledge around the course.  Your patrol will visit a number of stations, each having a themed town name. At each town your patrol will be confronted with a problem that is COCONUTS to solve using your scout skills and knowledge as you get ROASTED.  Depending on how well your patrol works out the problem, you will be DOLED out points. Adults this is the scouts time to put their skills to the test. 

This event is open to any scouts who want to join the event. How far will you travel to join us? Across the ocean or the street?
