| To all Troops and Webelos Packs in the Chippewa Valley
| Council, plan on attending this years' 2002 Klondike Derby.

| 
| Each Troop and or patrol that participates will need to
| have knowledge of their scouts woods skills. Therefore, the
| following information may be of some help. The resources for
| the needed information are the Boy Scout Handbook and The
| Fieldbook of the Boy Scouts of America. 
| 
| Since the location of Lower Irvine park does not have much
| wood for fire burning, it is strongly advised each unit
| bring its own firewood or other source of heat. This
| Klondike will be practicing LNT (Leave No Trace). 
| 
| No Ground Fires ALLOWED! 
| 
| Bring your own water supply! 
| 
| There will be a heated shelter available for cold weather
| emergencies. 
| 
| Saturday's noon lunch will again be served community style.

| to be turned in at registration. Please choose from the
| following list of foodstuffs to bring: Kidney beans, Sloppy
| Joe Mix, Chili, Tomato chunks. NO TOMATO SOUP! 
| 
| Each scout should bring with him besides his normal camping
| gear a bowl, spoon and insulated Mug. Hot Chocolate will be
| provided as well as coffee. 
| 
| Each Troop's entry into the competition will need the
| following: 
| 
|   Dog Sled- on the sled should be: 
|     First Aid Kit

|     Equipment pack for above items 
| 
| Your sled will be registered and scored upon entry into the
| stations. The following stations may or may not be scored.
| Proficiency at each will be rewarded. 
| 
| Toten Chit- Completion of this card allows you to proceed
| with the course. Proof of previous completion shows "A scout
| is prepared." 
| 
| Fireman's Chit- Same as above. This skill is a must in the
| winter time. 
| 
| Whittling' Chit - Same as a Toten Chit, but only for
| Webelos. 
| 
| Fuzzy Stick- Learn how to make and use these sticks at this
| station. 
| 
| 2 Man Cross cut- Northern states had their land cleared by
| real men who worked as a team using this tool. 
| 
| Bow saw 1 man- Careful, it takes great knowledge to
| understand the use of this instrument. 
| 
| Sled race- The ultimate in Fun. Here the patrol finds out
| about leadership and teamwork. 
| 
| String Burn- Are you able to burn the top string without
| having the firelay go beyond the bottom string? 
| 
| Boil Water- There's more to this station than just meets
| the pot. 
| 
| Ax Skills- Yes, the Boy Scout Handbook demonstrates ax
| procedures. But, have you practiced the right way? 
| 
| Space blanket- No, Captain Kirk does not need more power
| from Scotty. What is needed is experience and patrol
| teamwork. 
| 
| Lashing log carry- Will need more than just 4 bodies to
| accomplish this task. 
| 
| Rescue signals- Those that build the most with knowledge
| will survive and pass. 
| 
| Wet Wood Fire building- Something new? 
| 
| There will be points awarded at some stations while others
| are instructional. However, the goal is to attend all
| stations and to accumulate points. Other points may be
| earned throughout the event. Why accumulate points? For the
| Traveling Trophy of course. New this Klondike will be the
| presentation of a Traveling Trophy. The troop with the most
| points will receive a trophy which will be awarded to them.
| Points can be earn by the troop having the highest
| percentage of scouts attending the KIondike, neatness of
| campsite, willingness to follow the Scout oath and Law. The
| troop will than get to keep the trophy until the next
| Klondike! But, there name will be engraved on a plaque which
| will than be attached to the trophy! 
| 
| Also, lets not forget about the competition of the
| stations. First, second, and third places will be awarded
| for the points scored from the stations. 
| 
| Participation ribbons and patches will be given to each
| participating unit, troops and packs alike. That is why
| early pre-registration is important.

| maximum participation with Maximum effort put into FUN!
