The tradition continues! Old Ephraim district is sponsoring the annual Klondike Derby. It will be held February 19-20, 2021 at Sunrise Campground up Logan Canyon just before you descend to Bear Lake.
There will be plenty of activities to test your Scouting skills with a particular focus on fire building and first aid. Attendees may find it helpful to bring their Scout Handbook and download the American Red Cross First Aid app (Click on buttons below to download).
The fun starts with a cracker barrel at 8 pm Friday night. The activities start Saturday morning with a flag ceremony at 8:30 am and ends with the Klondike race at noon.
Parking will be tight so please avoid bringing trailers if you can. Be sure every one is dressed and prepared for the cold. Remember to clean up after yourself and leave your camp area clean by hauling out all of your trash and following Leave No Trace practices including taking appropriate care of your ashes. Please use the restrooms at the Bear Lake overlook.
There will be a fee of $5/person to cover the cost of the patch and supplies. A downloadable flyer is available and contact information is available at https://www.utahscouts.org/OEKlondike. You can register your unit online now.
Update: There are 19 stations planned. Anyone who can come up on Saturday to help with those stations would be appreciated and will receive a free patch.
