I'm back for a While

[pgvoutdoors]

I've been really busy the past two weeks and unable to catch up or contribute. I managed a BSA Klondike event with 300 Scouts two weekends ago. The cold weather hit us pretty good, low of 9 degrees and almost two foot of snow. It was a great event! I've also been busy with two winter camping training sessions. They went good as well. The snow here in northeast Ohio is about gone, we had a warm spell over the past couple of days. Though last night that came to an end, temperatures dropped dramatically and 60 mph winds hit. Everything is froze solid!

Good to be back!!!

Welcome back pgv,sounds like you had a (winter) blast!!!!!

[trax]

Sounds awesome pgv, I've been butting me head against the wall with some parents locally to let their kids out on a daytrip snowshoe excursion. Well needless to say, I'm gonna wait for it to warm up a bit now, nobody's letting their kids out in -47C

Sounds like you guys had a great time anyway, welcome back.

Yea JASM of troop 20 camden NY we always take klondike and everything eles around here.

Outstanding!!!!:)

My troop hosted this years Klondike, it had seven major events:

A camp-wide sled race that took thirty to forty minutes to complete. They also had to treat a hypodermic victim at the half way point and return him by sled to the starting point.

The fire starting station required that they started a fire using three different methods; single wooden match, steel match, and flint & steel. this was a timed event.

A sled obstacle course where at one point the sled had to be rigged to a twelve foot high rope and lifted off the ground and moved forty feet without touching the ground. The each patrol member crossed the obstacle utilizing the rope as well. Timed.

A geocaching course, timed.

A First Aid station

A emergency shelter building station. Each patrol received the same materials, a tarp, (8) stakes, (5) wooden poles, and was required to build the same type of shelter. Timed

Video Jeopardy based on BSA skills.

The boys of my troop developed all of the stations and ran them their selves. I was the event director.

It was great fun!!!!:)
