2018 KLONDIKE DERBY HORSE-SHOE TRAIL DISTRICT – JANUARY 20, 2018 UNIT INFORMATION PACKET The Horse-Shoe Trail District's Klondike Derby will be held at the J. Edward Mack Scout Reservation on January 20, 2018. Units are welcome to camp overnight Friday, January 19, and Saturday night, January 20. Informal campfire programs involving your neighboring campsites are encouraged. We will NOT accept registrations after January 12, 2018, due to the planning and purchasing of food and supplies. If your registration and money are not in Tentaroo on January 12, 2018, your troop will not be participating in the Klondike Derby. Volunteers are needed again, and we are willing to give two free lunches and two free patches to two volunteers for each type of unit registered to attend the event. Volunteers should report to the Head Mayor for the event they are volunteering for at the Mayors meeting for their assignment. Please note that there is a maximum of two free lunches per unit. Three events will be taking place. Webelos Klondike Derby for Pack Webelos dens; Boy Scout Klondike Derby for Boy Scout Troops; and Iron Will for Boy Scouts who are 14 and met first class requirements and Venturers. Since we are looking forward to snow, BE PREPARED!!! It is unlikely (although possible, remember 2016!) that the Klondike Derby will be canceled or postponed due to weather conditions. However, if a decision is made to cancel or modify the event, announcements will be made on local radio stations. This packet contains all the details that you will need to prepare your Units to participate in the greatest Horse-Shoe Trail District Klondike Derby ever! Your Klondike Derby committee hopes that all of you have a happy and safe experience! Your host & chairman, Sheldon Brubaker, can be reached at 717-721-3863 or 717-468-5333. REGISTRATION Registration fee includes one patch, Saturday lunch, and a great program! Pay online or make checks payable to BSA, and send them to Pennsylvania Dutch Council, 630 Janet Ave., Lancaster, PA 17601. Please note, registration is not finalized until payment has been received. Registration deadline is midnight on Friday, January 12, 2018. Online registration is available this year at http://padutchbsa.org/districts/horse-shoe-trail/horse-shoe-trail-district-activities/ Registrations will not be accepted after January 12, 2018. DO NOT SEND THE UNIT ATTENDANCE SHEET WITH YOUR REGISTRATION FORM. However, you must have the form when you check in at Camp Mack. CHECK-IN Upon arrival at Camp Mack, one leader should report to the Camp Office to check-in for the whole group, but only after confirming that everyone is in camp, and that the names on your Unit Attendance Sheets are correct. Volunteers need to check in and pick up their assignments with Head Mayors at Mayors meetings. Units that are check in Friday night should gather in the short-term camping area and set up their campsite as soon as they arrive. Campsites are on a first come, first serve basis. Check-in for units camping on Friday& Saturday is from 6:00-9:00 p.m. on Friday night and Saturday night only is 7:00-8:00 a.m. Saturday morning. CAMPSITE COURTESY Troops are asked to keep a reasonable distance between campsites. Quiet time will be observed between 11:00 P.M. and 6:30 A.M. The Scout Law and Oath is the standard for conduct. HEALTH & SAFETY Medical assistance will be available from Friday night until the closing ceremony Saturday. All injuries, no matter how slight, must be reported to the health officer located in the Camp Office during the day, and at Dellinger Lodge Friday night. Radios will be available given to stations at strategic points throughout camp, and can be used to call for help in an emergency. Blair Lodge and Esbenshade Lodge will be open as warm up shelters on Friday and Saturday. Lodges are not available for troops to sleep in. PARKING Primary parking areas are the main parking lot and the staff parking lot. Parking is not permitted along North Camp Road or any other road or trail except while loading and unloading at the short-term campsites, in which case the vehicles should park on the side of the road closest to the campsites so that the other side remains clear for emergency vehicles Klondike Derby staff will direct overflow parking. There is a possibility that piles of snow in the lots may reduce parking considerably, therefore it is suggested that units travel to and from Camp Mack in the least number of vehicles necessary. Please carpool! *** ANY VEHICLE BLOCKING ACCESS TO A ROAD OR TRAIL WILL BE TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE. *** MEALS Lunch on Saturday is provided by the Klondike Derby Committee, and will consist of a hot meal with coffee, juice and hot chocolate. Lunch is held at the Dining Pavilion from 11:30-12:30 PM for Boy Scout Klondike and from 12:00-1:00 PM for Webelos Klondike Derby. Iron Will Trek participants will have their lunch at the Training Center 11:30-12:30 PM. *** UNITS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ALL THEIR OTHER MEALS DURING THE WEEKEND. *** REQUIRED CLOTHING The scout uniform is not needed for the Klondike Derby. Wear suitable undergarments for the weather, along with the appropriate layering system of outer winter protective clothing. It is highly recommended that participants carry along at least one extra pair of dry socks for a quick change on the trail. These should be carried in a zip lock bag or another waterproof container. Also recommended is a wool hat and gloves. Overnight campers need a sleeping bag rated for the temperatures expected and should have a change of clothes to sleep in. A poncho or rain suit is also highly recommended. Scouters and scouts who are found on the trail without the appropriate clothing will be escorted to a warm up station where they will remain for the rest of the event. ***SNEAKERS MAY NOT BE WORN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FOR THIS EVENT! NOT SCOUTS, NOT LEADERS, NOT ANYONE!*** VIOLATORS OF THIS RULE WILL BE ESCORTED TO A LODGE WHERE THEY WILL REMAIN UNTIL SOMEONE CAN TAKE THEM HOME. THIS MEANS EVERYBODY! EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS Camp office phone during daytime hours is 717-626-8711. After office hours call 717-626-5674. This is the Camp Ranger’s private home number, and should be called only in the event of an emergency. Please do not call the ranger at home with questions on the Klondike Derby. These phone numbers are the ranger’s and there is no guarantee they will be answered. NOTICE: The Klondike Derby is only for scouts and their unit leaders. Only people registered for this event may participate in the Klondike Derby. This is vitally important for the safety of everyone, so we will know at all times who is in camp. TRADING POST The Trading Post will be open with candy & snacks, as well as old Klondike Derby patches from previous years to add to your collection. MAYOR'S MEETING & Volunteers Leaders and other adults who have volunteered to serve as mayors/judges at an activity are asked to attend an orientation meeting from 7:45-8:10 A.M. in Blair Lodge for Boy Scout event; 8:00-8:30 AM at the Training Center for Iron Will; and 8:30A.M. on Dining Hall Porch for Webelos. Score sheets for the stations will be handed out at that time. Volunteers should have all equipment needed for their stations in place by the meeting time, preferably by Friday night. JUDGING The Klondike Derby emphasizes the patrol method for Boy Scouts/Webelos. Each of the Patrol Leaders will be responsible for the actions of his patrol. Patrols will be penalized for any patrol member wearing sneakers. Leaders and adults are prohibited from assisting in competition. Adult leaders may observe from a distance, but the patrol will lose points if adults are seen helping the patrol. Patrols receive points at each station based on teamwork & cooperation, leadership, task accomplishment and patrol spirit. There are no certain dimensions or design restrictions on sleds. They should be practical and safe. It is a good idea to build them to accommodate wheels in case the ground is not covered by snow. **A BASIC SLED DESIGN IS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKET** Webelos sled and flag judging will take place in front of Dining Hall at 9:30 AM. Boy Scout sled and flag judging will take place in front of the Dining Pavilion at 11:30 AM. Each patrol is responsible for completing the sled identification card in this packet and placing it on the sled prior to judging. Unidentified sleds cannot be judged. AWARDS AND RECOGNITION Trophies will be awarded at the closing assembly in front of the Dining Pavilion. Unit award presentations will start sometime between 3:00-4:00 PM depending on completion of all stations. First, Second and Third place trophies will be presented to patrols/teams in each event for: 1. Overall score in competitive events 2. Patrol Flags 3. Patrol Sleds 4. Mayors Award 5. Sled Race All participants and adults, who are registered, will receive a participation patch, which will be distributed when your units check in for the event. Each Patrol/Team registered will be given a participation ribbon at check in. Units staying overnight Friday or Saturday may be eligible for the BSA 32 Degree Patch, depending, of course, on the weather. Unit leaders may purchase these patches at the Council store if their units are eligible. WEBELOS KLONDIKE EVENT Webelos dens will have at least eight stations that are intended to be fun and give the boys a taste of what lies ahead for them in Boy Scouting. No advance preparations are necessary. The Klondike Derby Committee will provide all materials required. The best thing a leader can do to prepare their adults and scouts for the Klondike Derby is to teach them how to dress for outdoor activities during cold weather. Dens traveling with or without sleds should carry extra clothing, especially socks in a zip lock bag, and rain gear. Dens are encouraged to carry their flag with them on the competition trails. Webelos parents/guardians should accompany dens on the competitive trail, but should avoid getting involved in the activities. NOTICE: The Klondike Derby is only for boys, their parent/guardians, and their unit leaders. Only people registered for this event may participate in the Klondike Derby. This is vitally important for the safety of everyone, so we will know at all times who is in camp. ***Anyone interested in helping with the Klondike Derby, please call Jenny Neidigh at 717-314-0866. *** WEBELOS SCHEDULE SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 2018 8:30-9:00 8:30-9:30 9:30-9:45 9:45-10:00 10:00-12:00 12:00-1:00 1:00-2:45 2:30-3:00 3:00-3:30 3:30-5:00 a.m. a.m. a.m. a.m. a.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. p.m. Mayors/Volunteers meeting on Porch of Dining Hall Webelos registration at Camp Office PATROL SLED & FLAG JUDGING in front of Dining Pavilion Opening assembly in front of Dining Pavilion Klondike Derby activities/stations for all dens LUNCH Klondike Derby activities/stations for all dens Stations closed; trading post will be open & warm-up for participants if necessary Closing assembly, awards presentation in front of the Dining Hall Depart camp unless staying to watch scout activities and awards The Klondike Derby is officially over at 5:00 P.M.
