Troop 17 had an awesome time at Colonial Council’s annual Klondike Derby at Johnson’s Garden Center in Suffolk. Even though it was freezing cold, the scouts stayed warm and had a blast with all the fun activities planned by the Chanco Chapter of the Wahunsenakah Lodge. They pulled a tractor, dug for gold, tried their hand at archery, monster knot tying, a water buffalo relay, geocaching, axe throwing, and even had a lashing competition. And guess what? They also had to plan, prepare, and cook their patrol meals!
These scouts are truly amazing. They did an incredible job this weekend, and they didn’t complain about the cold weather. They had a blast and showed off their skills. You should all be incredibly proud of your Troop 17 Scouts! It’s truly rare to find amongst their peers those who possess such a wide range of skills and abilities.
Yours in Scouting,
