A Klondike Derby is a challenge designed to test winter camping and outdoor skills. It is open to Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, Venture Crews. The Longhorn Council Klondike Derby is led by Frank Leslie and Leon Valley District Scouters who have wealth of Klondike Derby experience from camporees all over the US and Europe.

Klondike Derby Information and Registration.

Snow is NOT required. A sled or conestoga wagon IS required.

Each patrol/crew must build and bring a sled (wheels are alowed) or miniature conestoga wagon replica in which to haul their gear. The images below show an extremely cheap Klondike Sled design that costs only about $11 to build but is large enough (with good packing) to carry the necessary event gear.
NOTE: We now allow wheels on sleds.

Here is an example of the minimalist sled design that can be built very cheaply and quickly.
