The 2022 Klondike was a day to behold as Black Swamp Area Council Scouts BSA Troops returned to racing for the first time after a two-year hiatus.
A patrol from Troop 318 topped the scoreboard with 418 total points, following by Troop 162 with 409 points and Troop 499 with 397.5 points. |

Troop 318 had an impressive day with a first-place and a fifth-place finish. Leading the first-place sled from Troop 318 were Chris Cortez, Nathan Hartzell, Carson Skulina, Christian Branan, Caleb Emerine, Evan Altman, Alex Sayre, and Johnathan Burnett. The sled in fifth place was piloted by Grant Barbee, Nathanial Gregorowicz, Mitchell Hartzell, Lucas Hartzell, Hunter George, Keston Emerine, and Liam Ireland. |

Nearly 400 showed for the day at Camp Lakota for this year’s race. When the start sounded the anticipation quickly turned to joyful excitement as Scouts took off running to their first station. Included in this number was the first female Patrol from Troop 29G to participate in a Black Swamp Area Council Klondike.
Event theming helped guide Scouts with the backstory that they were in search of gold during an race across Alaska in the frozen tundra on sleds pulled by dog teams. Scouts participated as a patrol, running an expedition to simulated towns and solving practical problems using basic Scouting skills.
