Troop 137 competed in the Klondike derby at Camp Hart on Saturday, the 21st. Klondike is a race where participants complete stations to learn skills and are graded on teamwork and skill. Our troop started early in the morning with the scouts making breakfast. Once we were done we gathered our tools and packed our sleds. Once the derby began everyone sprinted off to complete stations all across the camp. We had to use a 2-man saw to cut wood, shoot in archery, solve puzzles, complete Challenges, and more. We continued this for 8 hours and by the end felt confident in what we had done. Before trophies, we raced our sleds across a field for time. Once it was time for trophies we waited with suspense and won 1st place in teamwork and 1st place overall in the Braves division. Besides just winning we gave a valuable learning experience to our younger scouts, teaching them scout skills. In the end, we all had fun and were happy with what we had done. - Garrett Williams
