This last Sunday, the scouts braved the frigid morning air and went out to prepare for an upcoming scouting competition, the Klondike. They practiced shelter-building skills, first aid, cooking, knot tying, fire-building, orienteering, and their nature knowledge. This is an excellent refresher that the scouts go through every year to prepare for the Klondike. Troop 8 has a tradition of dominating the competition for the junior and senior sleds and this year will be no different!
