• First Aid Supplies (to Be Prepared! and for use in skill events)
• Reuseable mug for hot chocolate or coffee
• Sled
• Staves (6, sticks or hiking staves 5-6 feet in length)

Note: groups of more than 10 will be split into smaller patrols. Please bring adequate supplies.

Sled Race Rules:

• Each team must have a sled capable of holding one rider
• A team must include one musher, one rider and no more than three (3) "dogs" (Scouts)
• All mushers, riders, dogs, and sled must cross the finish line before your time is counted.
• Continue running past the finish line to allow teams behind you room to finish the race.

Be Prepared for winter weather. Dress warmly and in layers. The First Aid Station is located inside the heated pavilion.

Any updates will be communicated through direct email to registered participants, the District Newsletter, and the District Facebook page.
