KLONDIKE
DERBY 2012
THE GREAT KLONDIKE CHALLENGE
WHEN: Saturday, FEB 4TH
TIME: 9:30 AM
WHERE: Camp Dan Beard
Cost: $6.00 per Scout ($2 additional if camping) $6.00 per patrol
The Klondike Challenge is a race that will be run on a timed course. The course
will feature 10 stations where the Scouts will be met with different challenges.
Each station will have an event that will add or subtract time from the team’s
total score. Complete success at each station may not ensure a team of victory,
but doing poorly will ensure a longer total time. These challenges will be based
on Scout Skills, ingenuity, athleticism, dexterity, and general knowledge about
the BSA and America. A well blended patrol of different scouts with a variety of
skills should do the best.

THE TIME IS NOW TO
THINK ABOUT JOINING THE
BASEBALL CARD CLUBHOUSE
The Baseball Card Clubhouse is sponsored by the Major League
Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and is a totally FREE program to all Scouts
who participate.
All you have to do is simply have your Scout leader sign-up your
pack or troop for a special night of baseball card collecting and fun.
Every Scout in attendance will receive a cool collectible kit full of Baseball
Cards. With the baseball cards the Scouts will receive they will learn how to
build an initial baseball card collection that will help them earn Scout
Advancement.
Scouts will also get a chance to discuss baseball card collecting and play cool games for a chance to earn more awesome prizes. Scouts can also bring their own card collection to showoff or learn more about it if they already have one.
So what are you waiting for? Hold your next meeting at Elite SportsCards
