Everyone had lots of fun at this year's Klondike Derby.
Troop 9 had two sleds - one led by the Monkey Patrol (Dan, Kevin, Luke, Rick,
Jimmy and Tom) and one led by the Silver
Serpent patrol (Charlie, Brian, Bart, Peter, Shawn, Chris M. and Oscar). Both patrols did very well. In fact, the Silver
Serpents got first in the Lumberjack event and the Turkey Shoot, and second in
the Fire Starting and Cooking event!

All is not good - bridge breaks, Rick falls on and kills bear!
