Pinelands District's 2025 Klondike Derby 

Pine Hill Scout Reservation

Friday, Feb 21 to Sunday, Feb 23

Get your unit ready for Operation Polar Bear, a fun-fueled day of Scout skill competitions, in-person at Pine Hill Scout Reservation!

A Klondike Derby is a competitive event that uses sledges and Klondike Gold Rush themes to complete a multiple “city” course and sledge race, challenging each sled team’s skills and teamwork. The purpose of the Derby is first, a grand outdoor “winter” adventure full of fun and surprises, and second, a way for Scouts to test their basic camping and survival skills.

Online registration closes 2/19 and all payments must be completed by the day of the event.

Competition and Team details are outlined in the Leaders Guide, listed in the attachments.

COST: $11 per person including patch. Unit camping is included! Units must provide their own meals.

Only paid participants will get a patch. 

Adults and Scouts must register and will be provided a wristband for the weekend.

Leaders Guide coming soon.
