Held at Camp Berry on Saturday, January 18th, the event showcased the camaraderie, competition, and outdoor spirit that define Scouting.

Twenty-two teams participated in this year's Klondike Derby, navigating their handcrafted sleds through six "cities" scattered across the camp. These stations tested Scouts on a range of skills, including two-person saw use, first aid, knot tying, tree identification, nature tracking, team building, and compass course navigation. Despite the cold and snow, Scouts demonstrated their resilience and commitment to Scouting values.

The event drew inspiration from the historic Alaskan expeditions, where dog sled teams raced across the frozen tundra. It provided a unique opportunity for Scouts to apply the skills they've learned throughout their Scouting journey in a challenging and engaging environment.
