Klondike Winter Cup 2026: Where Grit Meets Glory

As the winter winds sweep across the council, Scouts from all corners are gearing up for one of the most exhilarating cold-weather challenges of the year….the Klondike Derby! This year’s theme brings a fresh twist of international spirit and competitive flair, inviting patrols to “go for the gold” in a day packed with adventure, teamwork, and skill.

From the moment boots hit the snow, Scouts will be immersed in a series of dynamic stations that test their mettle — physically, mentally, and creatively. Whether navigating a frosty course with precision, treating a fallen skier in a simulated rescue, or solving riddles under pressure, each challenge is designed to push Scouts beyond their comfort zones and into the realm of true outdoor mastery.

But this isn’t just about competition. It’s about camaraderie. Patrols will rely on each other’s strengths, communicate under pressure, and learn the value of preparation and resilience. The event blends classic Scoutcraft with imaginative twists, ensuring that every participant — from seasoned veterans to first-time Klondikers — walks away with new skills and unforgettable memories.

The Klondike Derby is more than a winter camporee. It’s a celebration of Scouting’s enduring spirit, a tribute to the power of teamwork, and a reminder that adventure doesn’t hibernate. So layer up, bring your best game, and prepare to unlock your patrol’s potential in a day that promises snow, sweat, and smiles.
