2026 Running Waters Klondike Derby

Online registration for this event ends on February 6, 2026

Calling all Scouts BSA Troops, Crews, and Ships (AOLs are welcome ONLY with a Troop)! Come see if you've got what it takes to survive the Territorial Trials settlers faced during the era in which our nation was founded. Patrols will navigate their sled from settlement to settlement across the Old Northwest Territory during the 1770s, earning trade goods along the way by demonstrating Scout Skills, solving challenges through teamwork, utilizing the Patrol Method, and displaying Scout Spirit.

Awards will be presented to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fastest finishers in the Sled Race, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Patrols as determined by the number of trade goods earned by completing challenges at each settlement.

Scouts will be expected to provide and cook their own lunch “on the trail” during the time allotted (50 minutes), so please plan accordingly.

Overnight camping, available on-site (Friday evening only) for Patrols that would like to get the full Klondike experience is included in your registration fee. Patrols camping overnight are responsible for providing and preparing their own meals.
