2021 Klondike Derby
District 10

A Klondike derby is an annual Scouts BSA event based on the heritage of the Klondike Gold Rush.

The derby consists of several stations where patrols/units must test their Scoutcraft skills and their leadership abilities, earning points towards a total score. The patrol must transport their gear on a homemade sled pulled by the Scouts. The Patrol that earns the most points in the scout skills competition will take home the Klondike Derby Traveling Trophy to display in your meeting place over the next year.

Leaders, for the sake of supporting Webelos II Scouting Adventure requirements, please consider inviting 1 or 2 Webelos II Den members near your troop to participate with your patrol.  Please register your Scout + Webelos participants as a single patrol. On-line registration will be by patrol to enforce the 10-person limit.  A list of Packs, Pack Leaders, and Webelos II Den Leaders contact information is available upon request.

If your troop is registering more than one patrol, you will need to complete a separate registration for each patrol.  You may split your leaders across the patrols to avoid paying twice.
