Scouts turn out for annual Klondike derby
Posted 1/31/10
(Enlarge) Cub Scout Seth Firmani, front, heaves on the line and leads his fellow Scouts from Pack 460 of Mount Airy in the rescue sled competition at the annual Klondike Derby, held last weekend in Sykesville. More than 900 Cub, Webelo and Boy Scouts representing nearly 50 different packs and troops in Carroll County converged on Freedom Park for the annual derby. The event is a day of outdoor activities and challenges, including sled and barrell races and various Scouting skills tests. This year celebrated the 100th year of Scouting in America, and even had an international twist — with visitors from Scouting Canada. (Photo by Phil Grout)
Events stressed teamwork, survival skills and knowledge — one involved having teams race their sled down a hill to find a 140-pound dummy on a stretcher. He had to be carried into a first-aid tent.
