KLONDYKE & OPTIONAL POLAR BEAR CAMPOUT!
Klondyke is a Boy Scout Winter Skills and Camping event, held every winter in the snow. Usually, it involves an OPTIONAL overnight campout and multiple competitions where Boy Scout Troops compete against each other.
Each patrol uses a Dog Type sled that uses Scout power to pull it. The Scouts pull the sleds that are loaded with their personal and patrol equipment. The Scouts journey through woods and fields, up and down hills and stop at different activity stations where they are tested on different Scout skills. When they arrive at these stations they are timed and tested on their Scouting knowledge, their team work and their problem solving skills.
This year’s Klondyke will be in conjunction with the Polar Bear Campout! Scouts will have the option of participating in a Polar Bear Campout (camping in weather below 32 degrees for 22 hours!) or just participating in the Klondyke Derby.
All Scouts need to bring: Can of Non-perishable Soup, bowl, spoon.

OA ELECTIONS FOR 2011 & WHAT IS THE ORDER OF THE ARROW?
OA Elections for 2011 will be conducted in February of this year.
You may be wondering, what is the Order of the Arrow?
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It uses Native American-styled traditions and ceremonies to bestow recognition on scouts selected by their peers as best exemplifying the ideals of Scouting.
After being elected or nominated, candidates may participate in a call-out ceremony to recognize those scouts and scouters that were selected before they attend their Ordeal. The call-out ceremony is performed at summer camp. Candidates subsequently participate in an Ordeal induction, intended to emphasize service and self-sacrifice.
Members of the OA are expected to promote camping and render service to Boy Scout councils and their communities. Members wear identifying insignia on their uniforms, most notably the OA sash, and are eligible for special OA awards. The OA program sponsors several events, awards, and training functions

KLONDYKE & OPTIONAL POLAR BEAR CAMPOUT!
Klondyke is a Boy Scout Winter Skills and Camping event, held every winter in the snow. Usually, it involves an OPTIONAL overnight campout and multiple competitions where Boy Scout Troops compete against each other.
Each patrol uses a Dog Type sled that uses Scout power to pull it. The Scouts pull the sleds that are loaded with their personal and patrol equipment. The Scouts journey through woods and fields, up and down hills and stop at different activity stations where they are tested on different Scout skills. When they arrive at these stations they are timed and tested on their Scouting knowledge, their team work and their problem solving skills.
This year’s Klondyke will be in conjunction with the Polar Bear Campout! Scouts will have the option of participating in a Polar Bear Campout (camping in weather below 32 degrees for 22 hours!) or just participating in the Klondyke Derby.
All Scouts need to bring: Can of Non-perishable Soup, bowl, spoon.
IF YOU ARE ONLY ATTENDING THE SATURDAY EVENT:
Meet at Silver Creek County Park in Hamilton at 8:30am or sign up for car-pooling (we may need parent drivers!!).

OA ELECTIONS FOR 2011 & WHAT IS THE ORDER OF THE ARROW?
OA Elections for 2011 will be conducted in February of this year.
You may be wondering, what is the Order of the Arrow?
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It uses Native American-styled traditions and ceremonies to bestow recognition on scouts selected by their peers as best exemplifying the ideals of Scouting.
After being elected or nominated, candidates may participate in a call-out ceremony to recognize those scouts and scouters that were selected before they attend their Ordeal. The call-out ceremony is performed at summer camp. Candidates subsequently participate in an Ordeal induction, intended to emphasize service and self-sacrifice.
Members of the OA are expected to promote camping and render service to Boy Scout councils and their communities. Members wear identifying insignia on their uniforms, most notably the OA sash, and are eligible for special OA awards. The OA program sponsors several events, awards, and training functions

to your Scout Account. If this is something that would interest you, see the emailed newsletter for more information.
