2023 Klondike Winter Camporee

Scouts BSA - Northwest and Silvertip District

January 20-22, 2023

Years ago, hearty men and women raced across the frozen Alaskan wilderness by means of dogs and sleds answering the call of the wild in search of gold. This year young men and women and their sleds are once again called to the Coram horse pasture to test their winter camping skills, knowledge of scout craft, and strength of spirit.  Are your scouts willing to “Be Prepared” for whatever adventure lay ahead?  Will your patrol be the one to meet the challenge and bring back gold?
