The Event Schedule is as follows:

• Open time to visit Scout Klondike Challenge Towns:  1:30 through 3:00 p.m.

This is a great opportunity for your Webelos and AOL Scouts to work as a patrol and demonstrate their Scout skills.  Patrols should be 4 to 7 Scouts, and a sled is not required.  All skill requirements are defined on the “Stations at the Webelos Klondike Event” information sheet on the back of the flyer, and are readily accessible as noted on the sheet.  So start preparing the Scouts now.  All are Webelos or Arrow of Light skills/information.  They will be expected to know these skills/information as new Scouts once they Bridge over so the event will give them a head start. 

Please note the “Event Conditions Preparedness” station on the information sheet.  Dressing properly for a day out in the elements is critical.  That is why it is a graded station.  The two key areas are layering and footwear.  Layers can be added or taken off as the weather or activity level changes throughout the day, and the footwear should be waterproof and warm.  And don’t forget the hat!  The stations will supply all necessary skills materials so Scouts only need to bring the items listed for this station and they should pack a lunch.  And of course they should bring their Scout Spirit.  All stations give bonus points for Scout Spirit!!!!!

Please register your patrols on line.  Cost of this event is $5.00/Scout and will include an event patch.  They will build confidence as Scouts and also have a great time.  And to reinforce that “A SCOUT IS KIND & HELPFUL”, each Scout will bring 5 cans of food to be donated to local food banks. Helping our less fortunate neighbors is what Scouting is all about. Having Fun Being Kind Being Helpful = One Great Day.

Please volunteer your Pack to help staff one of the four Adventure stations.  An event staffer will be at each station to work with the volunteers.  The more volunteers, the faster we can run patrols through.
