1 Dogwood & Laurel District Klondike Derby Camp Raven Knob January 17-19, 2014

2 Dear Scouters: Enclosed you will find a schedule, general info, and registration forms for your troop for the 2014 Klondike Derby. We need to hear from each troop in advance if your troop plans on attending and which event you are planning to host. We need to know in advance so we don t duplicate events. Events will be approved on a first come first serve basis. Plan on not doing your events at your campsite. This info deadline is January 9, We have reserved all of the Adirondack campsites; however you can stay in a tent campsite if you like. We have reserved the Valley and Lodge Road campsites for those wishing to tentcamp. (You must provide your own tents if tent-camping.) Adirondack sites should be reserved ahead of time. We need to know how many will be staying in your site to make sure we assign them appropriately based upon campsite size. Some troops may need to share a site. If you wish to arrange your own site-sharing ahead of time, let us know all troops involved and a total number of people when you reserve your site. The headquarters location for Klondike will be at the Barnhart Training Center. Sleds are not required however there will be a judging of the best sled and a plaque will be presented for first place. Skits and/or songs at the Saturday night campfire will give patrols extra credit points on their overall Klondike events scoring. 10 points for a skit and 5 points for a song. Encourage your boys to participate by doing a skit or song. Please contact me with your information and campsite requests ASAP. We look forward to seeing you and your troop at the Klondike. If you have any other questions please contact me. Sincerely, Adam Atkins Dogwood District Program Chairman 457 Ararat Road Pilot Mountain, NC cell (336) doublea_79@yahoo.com

EACH PATROL WILL BE ASSIGNED A STARTING LOCATION AND A DIRECTION OF TRAVEL AT THE PATROL LEADERS MEETING SATURDAY MORNING.

Each patrol is to carry a complete pack containing the Scout outdoor essentials and Handbook. These items will be checked and graded. 2. Each patrol should compete in each event and not skip events. It is the responsibility of each Patrol Leader to make sure their patrol has participated in every event BEFORE 4:30 PM in order to maximize their score. 3. Each troop holding an event will score the patrols competing and turn in the results at the Barnhart Training Center immediately after events conclude (4:30-6:00pm).

Each troop holding an event will supply all materials needed for that event. 5. Patrols will eat on the trail so pack lunches accordingly. 6. Patrols should be made up of scouts of all ranks and not loaded down with older scouts. This will ensure all patrols having equal opportunity to be successful. 7. Upon registration each patrol should be listed with the rank of each scout. CAMPING PROCEDURES Since the Klondike is being held at Camp Raven Knob all normal camp rules will apply. Plan on bringing your own wood for fires unless you have worked out something with the Camp Ranger. Leaders may bring Coleman stoves, lanterns, etc. to use. Water is now available year round at CRK. All meals this year will be on your own but it is encouraged for troops to eat together if possible. WEATHER PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THE WEATHER.
