 History: Many years ago, men raced across the Alaskan frozen wilderness by means of dogs and sleds. Scouting has taken this idea and came up with the idea of the Klondike Derby as an activity for Boy Scouts. A Boy Scout Klondike Derby is based on the real life struggles across the frozen Klondike by men and dogs in search of wealth in the gold fields. Those struggles were life and death matters and we commemorate the feats of courage and triumph over adversity.

 The 2012 Friends of Scouting Campaign is almost here!!! Each year the Tall Pine Council asks our District Leaders (District Committees and Commissioner Staff(s), Businesses and their owners, and individuals for a financial contribution to support Scouting Programs. We also ask the parents of Scouts for a "Family" Friends of Scouting gift. This is most effective at Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquets and Boy Scout Courts of Honor.

to our meetings a little better with the new location.

possible for Blue Heron to use the church for
our district committee meeting.
