Klondike Derbies 2021

The Lake Erie Council is excited to offer 4 outdoor Klondike Derbies in 2021!

A Klondike derby is an annual event held by the Boy Scouts of America during the winter months and is based on the heritage of the Klondike Gold Rush.

Ever since 1949… the typical Klondike derby consists of several stations where patrols/units must test their Scoutcraft skills and their leadership abilities, earning points towards a total score.
