to attend, but don’t have time to build that sled? No problem! Now your team can
backpack it. Divide up the gear list between your teammates and compete at the
stations with all the others. This is awesome for new troops, last-minute signups, or
troops hosting Webelos and Arrow of Light Patrols. (These young Scouts must be
part of the patrol within a troop, crew, or ship.)
