Winter Klondike 2016

We started the day by meeting at the United Methodist Church in Ishpeming at 0800 and stared off to Lakenenland. We arrived around 0830 and we got the sled ready to go. We were given a map and a decoder strip. At every event we received three letters to add to our strip.
The kids there were Nick M, Jake M, Robbie R, Gary L, and Willard K. They all had lots of fun going from event to event. At one we had to build a fire and melt as much  snow as possible in ten minutes. Darryl made sure to stand far back so he could keep his arm hair. At another event we carried Darryl in a stretcher that we put together in about one minute. We dropped him a few times, but he made it.

Overall, all the boys had a great time, even though Robby got them lost a few times. The Troop came home with many awards, including the "Laughing Patrol" award and Gary even won an award for solving the decoder strip the fastest!

We would like to say thank you to Lakenenland and the other troops that put it all together making it a very fun day!
