Come join us at the Klondike Derby 2023

The Klondike Derby is the premier snow and winter camporee offered in the Transatlantic Council. We will again be hosted at the amazing Kandersteg International Scout Centre, located deep in the heart of the Swiss Alps

This year's theme is "The Search for the Barbegazi"

On Saturday, we host a fun, robin-round style competition between patrols. Scouts compete in a variety of scout-skill inspired challenges to earn gold coins to win the Klondike Derby Trophy. We have a fantastic winter campfire where troops before their best skits and songs, followed by a cracker barrel.

On Sunday, Troop and Crew Leaders have the choice to take their choice on winter sports activities. These can be arranged through the KISC team. In previous years they offered Skiing, snowboarding, Luging and Curling (a surprising favorite). We are working with their program team to also provide non-guided opportunities like snowshoe hiking or town exploration. We also provide an Interfaith service early in the morning.

Klondike has something for everybody and is flexible to what you can accommodate. Only available for Saturday, may you come for the day? Have the Martin Luther King holiday off? Why not stay and enjoy the mountains for a little while longer with our 3-Night Option?

Have any questions? Concerns? Well get in touch with us at klondike@tac-bsa.org
