This year’s Klondike will again be entirely Scout run with Troop 2 as the hosts. Boy Scout leaders are encouraged to work at the Webelos stations.

Webelos stations include: Fire building, Knot knowledge, Team building, Ice rescue, First Aid knowledge (cold weather included), Scout Law. At present, five stations (possibly six) are envisioned with a "roving station" to challenge our Webelos scouts (Something like last year’s "claim jumper" activity)

Information will be added as we approach the event and can be found on the district web site as well as linked on the Troop 2 Klondike site

We need volunteers to help work at the stations for the Webelos event. If you would like to help, contact Phil Shute pshute@verizon.net or 924-7898.
