2027 Running Waters District Creepy Cryptids Klondike Derby
Online registration for this event ends on February 15, 2026
Calling all Scouts BSA Troops, Venturing Crews, and Sea Scout Ships (AOLs are welcome ONLY with a Troop)! Come see if you've got what it takes to survive encounters with the Creepy Cryptids of Michigan. Patrols will navigate their sled from town to town across the great state of Michigan, earning relics along the way by demonstrating Scout Skills, solving challenges through teamwork, utilizing the Patrol Method, and displaying Scout Spirit.
Awards will be presented to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fastest finishers in the Sled Race, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Patrols as determined by the number of relics earned by completing challenges at each town.
Scouts will be expected to provide and cook their own lunch “on the trail” during the time allotted (40 minutes), so please plan accordingly.
The unit can have several registrations but each Patrol(limit of 10 youth per patrol) needs it own registration for attendance tracking purposes. There is a 12 Patrol limit for the whole event.
Overnight camping, available onsite Friday evening for Patrols that would like to get the full Klondike experience, is included in the registration fee. Patrols camping overnight are responsible for providing and preparing their own meals.
