Troop 817 Champions!

Klondike Derby came and went this past weekend with our own Boy Scout Troop 817 reigning victorious in their competitions as well as surviving the cold night in their toasty, handmade snow caves.
 
Of the 6 events the boys competed in, they won first place in:
Fire-starting
Rope Rescue
and the Granddaddy....the Klondike Sled Race, where they beat the 2nd place team by 25 seconds!

Because they finished high in all events, they won as Overall Champions for the entire district, which includes dozens of troops!

The young men built snow caves to sleep in by night....



And competed in events by day....



Troop 817 showed that with tenacity, unity and team work, they can accomplish great and fun things.




Many thanks to leaders, Jake Green, Ty Bangerter, Steve Forsyth and Boyd Kanenwisher for helping the young men achieve success as well as keeping them warm and well fed.
Thank you also to Bishop Goldhardt for attending the Saturday competitions.

Congratulations Troop 817 of the Bloomington 7th Ward!
