Klondike ChallengeAnnual Sammamish Trails District Klondike overnighter event, with the other troops in our district. When the first Alaska Gold miners hit the pass at Chilkoot, the Mounties stopped them, and would not let them enter the Klondike area until they passed certain conditions. This included proper equipment, sufficient supplies and proper attitude. The Klondike will re-create those conditions for those troops willing to test their mettle and take the Klondike Challenge. There will be three parts to the challenge: 1) Winter over: the site is ideal for a car camp, with camp setup by candle and Coleman lantern. Plus, since we are staying Friday night, breakfast will be free, served by District staff! 2) Winter prepared! The first event will be to pass inspection on your sled, patrol gear and most important, your personal gear. Without the proper gear, your patrol will not proceed from the Chilkoot pass inspection station. 3) Challenge events: There are always one or two new ones every year! Once you start an event, your patrol must complete the event to the satisfaction of your Klondike evaluator. Then you can move on to the next challenge. The patrols with the most events completed will be rewarded. Got to the Klondike Website at http://klondike.sammamishtrails.org/ for more information and to register.
