PROGRAM

Patrols will travel through the “Klondike” from town to town to take part in activities. Patrols will earn gold nuggets according to how well they do on each activity. Patrols must have a sledge (sled) for the event.

At the end of the program, patrols will go to the “Assay Office” to turn in their gold nuggets for Klondike script. They will use the script to purchase food ingredients to make and cook a one serving meal for judging.

For the cooking, patrols must bring their own base protein, such as a meat. Patrols can only use the base protein, the items purchased at the Klondike General Store, and spices and condiments from their patrol box. Anything else will detract from their score. Note that the cooking portion is not a separate competition, it is part of the overall competition and all patrols must take part to score in the competition.

1. Matches

2. Hand axe
