The Timberline District Activities Committee invites you to take part in the (Formally) Timberline District Klondike to be held in February 28th 2020. The theme for this year’s Klondike is “Leap into the Future”. For more information, Planning Guide
Camping Participation
Early discount registration runs through February 14, 2020. The early discount registration fee for all Scouts and Adults camping overnight is $24.00. Participants registering between February 14 to February 20, or arriving for the weekend on Friday night without pre-registration, the registration fee will be $27.00 per Scout or Adult.
One Day Participation
The registration fee for Scouts and Adults attending Saturday only is $13.00.
Staff pays at the registration table.
The Klondike will take place at Reverend’s Ridge campground in Golden Gate Canyon.
Early discount registration is recommended so that a quality program can be planned. Troops that do not plan to register before the event are asked to e-mail Larry Svoboda with the approximate number of participants so proper arrangements can be made.
On Saturday, patrols will travel the Klondike Trail and encounter interesting and fun events requiring Scout skills, creativity and Scouts working together as a patrol.
Units registering online before February 4th will be able to select their campsite. Selection will take place at the February round table on a first come - first served basis, starting at 6:30. Troops not pre-selecting their campsite will be assigned one prior to their arrival.
Winter camping is one of the most challenging of the outdoor adventures. The Klondike campout will provide opportunities for Scouts to test their preparation and skills, and build confidence in their ability to be prepared for successful camping in cold weather. Scouts unable to camp overnight are encouraged to attend for the day on Saturday to experience the Klondike program.
Troops are encouraged to invite first and second year Webelos to join them for the day on Saturday to experience a Boy Scout activity. District policy does not allow Webelos to camp overnight at Klondike.
It is our intention to offer a quality Scouting program for all Scouts taking advantage of this opportunity. Come enjoy a visit to the Klondike and be prepared to test yourselves in a challenging environment. A special patch and lapel pin will be presented to every participant.
Troops are invited to organize the Saturday morning flag ceremony, the Saturday afternoon campfire and the Sunday church service. Again, first come, first served, so be the first to contact Larry Svoboda 720.620.3506. Show the other troops (and the Klondike staff) how to do these programs right.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2020 Timberline Klondike!
