Crossroads and Osprey District's 2025 Klondike Derby 

January 17-19 at Pine Hill Scout Reservation

Scouts will camp out for a full weekend event in winter camping conditions.

Program:

Saturday will be the Klondike Derby and Trekker Challenge, followed by Camp wide campfire full of Scout Spirit and fellowship.

Standard Derby Sled Run: Scouts may compete in the standard Derby Sled Run as part of a Sled Team. This is recommended for Scouts working on their trail to First Class Rank. Scouts build a sled prior to the event and pull the sled over a nine competitive station route. The team with the most points wins.

Backpack Trek:

There will be a special Backpack Trek recommended for Scouts who are First Class Rank or Higher. These Scouts are known as the Trekkers and are comprised of 2 or 3 Scouts in each team NOT to exceed two years in age difference. Each Trekker must carry their gear on a homemade pack frame.

Webelos & Arrow of Light:

Are invited to attend on Saturday and compete in a special classification. We encourage Troops attending to sponsor Packs, so that Webelos/ AOL’s can experience the future leadership and teamwork they will be a part of when they crossover.

Let’s Grow and Spread the Promise of Scouting:

We are providing the attending Troops the opportunity to invite potential recruits for the Saturday event (Derby Sled Run) to participate with the sponsoring Troop. Optionally an invited recruit may participate in the full weekend campout with the sponsoring Troop as long as they have the equipment and clothing required. Let’s show them what Scouts really do.

Lunch:

New this year, we will be  allowing  for  a  two- hour break from 11:30am 1:30pm.  It  is  STRONGLY encouraged  that  the  Scouts cook lunch and not the adults.

Fees:

This year’s event is on track to being a free event again this year. Units are still responsible for their own food.
