Around 100,000 people decided to travel there, but only about 30,000 have been reported to have made it there.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1039 alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7459 sm-5-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />In 1949 Boy Scout Troops from the Northern United States and from Canada started their reenactment of the Klondike Gold Rush to test their winter Scout skills and called it the Klondike Derby. It has since been adapted by Troops all over the United States, especially those with snow in their winters.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1036 alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019 Klondike Winners sm-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019%20Klondike%20Winners%20sm-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019%20Klondike%20Winners%20sm-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019%20Klondike%20Winners%20sm-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019%20Klondike%20Winners%20sm-2-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />On Saturday, January 26, Units from the NCAC Potomac District met at Little Bennett Campgrounds in Germantown Maryland, to compete in the annual Potomac Klondike Derby. Despite most of the snow from the previous week washed away by Thursday’s rain, the freezing temperatures ensured the genuine Klondike winter feel, and most of the Scouts earned their Potomac District Polar Bear Patch for overnight camping below freezing point.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1035 alignright" src="http://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810 sm-1-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810%20sm-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810%20sm-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810%20sm-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810%20sm-1-420x630.jpg 420w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/_MG_7810%20sm-1.JPG 1667w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></p> <p>During the day on Saturday, temperatures reached well into the upper 30’s, and the Order of the Arrow made sure Scouts and Scouters could warm up at their Hot Chocolate Stations and campfires on each of the 2 playing fields. The Scout Spirit was very high among the 68 Klondike Crews who competed.</p> <p>Troop 3’s “Bear” Patrol was able to complete the Sled Relay Race the fastest and took first prize.

This year’s program is again presented by the National Capital Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, and will be hosted by George Washington University.</p> <p>Scouters and their families will have the opportunity to learn from national monarch expert, Pete Berthelson, about growing milkweed and providing habitat for monarchs and other pollinators. He’ll teach about providing pollen and nectar throughout the entire year, options for growing milkweed and native flowers from seed, the importance of seed-soil contact, and our role in making a difference.</p> <p>“Monarch butterflies are crucial to agriculture and plants of all kinds,” said Will Rodger, Chair of the NCAC Conservation Committee. “We can save them as long as Scouts and other Americans ‘Do Their Best’ to help them.”</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1004 alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Monarch-Butterfly-Activity-Patch-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" />The youth-friendly presentation is sure to inspire attendees to take action to help save the vanishing monarch butterfly through the building of a healthy and sustainable pollinator habitat. In addition, Scouts and others who attend will receive a free Milkweed for Monarchs patch, plus an easy-to-use seed packet of milkweed and other native, nectar-producing plants that nourish monarch caterpillars and butterflies throughout the growing season.</p> <p>“Planting and encouraging milkweed and wildflowers are the most important things we can all do right here, right now,” said Rodger.</p> <p>Scouters and others are invited to attend, but registration is limited. The event will take place on February 2nd from 10 am to 12 pm at George Washington University, Room 113, 1957 E St. NW, Washington DC.

They are also the only father/son team actively Staffing an NCAC Wood Badge training Course: a reflection of their unified and lifelong commitment to teaching other Scouters leadership skills to benefit all Scouts and Scouting Families.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1016 alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_1866-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />TAO was a Scoutmaster for 15 years in New York State, and served as an Assistant Scoutmaster and in numerous BSA training and service positions that impacted hundreds of young men’s lives over multiple decades from the 1960s into the early 2000s. He remains an active Scouter in Stafford, VA, continuing to train and mentor adults in Scouting leadership skills. A World War II Navy veteran, TAO earned lifesaving awards for actions in 1964, rescuing 2 fellow passengers from a bus that crashed into the East River (they were the only 3 survivors). A 1966 Silver Beaver recipient and Scoutmaster of the Year in 1970 in Greater New York Council, in 1976 TAO created a Scouting junior leader training course in New York that trained hundreds of Scouts across almost three decades. Upon moving to Virginia, he energized a similar youth-led leadership training conference which has been running in Aquia District since 2007 thanks to his vision and initiative. Friends and loved ones chipped-in to honor TAO with a brick which was placed on the Camp Snyder dining facility flag patio in 2013 to commemorate his 76<sup>th</sup> anniversary of BSA service.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1014 alignright" src="http://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_1864-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p> <p>The elder 92-year old Haas, who lives with his wife of over 62 years, Rita, in Falls Run in southern Stafford, is a Life Scout who has been in Scouting for 82 years. TAO shook the hand of Scouting’s Founder, Lord Baden-Powell, while a member of BSA’s Scout contingent at the 1939 World’s Fair in Queens, NY. He earned his Wood Badge Beads in 1964, attending Wood Badge training at Schiff Scout Reservation in New Jersey, and was his sons’ (Mike and Alan) first Scoutmaster in Troop 712 in Manhattan, NY. His son Mike, also a Life Scout, retired from the Marine Corps in 2004, and lives with his wife of over 36 years, Lisa, in northern Stafford. Mike earned his Wood Badge Beads in 2006 and has had the privilege of Staffing multiple Wood Badge Courses.</p> <p>So, when Mike was honored with selection as one of two Wood Badge Course Directors for 2019, a year which celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the original Wood Badge Course organized and led by Lord Baden-Powell at Gilwell Park in England, it’s no mystery that Mike chose his Dad to be one of his Course Mentors. Mike’s other Mentor is John Peloquin, a former NCAC Wood Badge Course Director. Mike and John both started their Scouting Trails together in Troop 26 (“26 Kicks!”) in Stafford with first John and then Mike taking the hand-off from John as Scoutmaster through the mid-2000s.</p> <p><em>Any Scouter who will be fully trained in their BSA registered position by the first day of a Wood Badge training Course is eligible to register for the course. NCAC will be offering two 100<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Wood Badge Courses in 2019.
