Sled Details
Every Patrol competing in the event must have a sled. In needs to be built before arriving at the event.
Encourage having the sled being built by the youth with Scouter support. No commercially manufactured sleds will be accepted. The sleds should be built to look like an Alaskan Dog sled. The harness for pulling the sled should be attached to the front of the sled.
A patrol's sled can be built with various materials BUT there must be some lashing on the structure.
