2026 Winter Klondike

Good Morning Scouting Families,

Troop 103 will be attending (and competing in) the council's "2026 Scouts BSA Klondike Challenge". All of the applicable information can be found on the attached permission slip. This event is coming up soon and will run from Friday, January 23rd through Sunday, January 25th.

As a reminder, additional information (like calendars and packing lists) can be found on the troop website at http://www.bsa103.org.

Scouts - this could be a great opportunity to work on some of those lingering requirements that you couldn't quite get checked off last year - Read through your books and see what you need signed off, and I bet you will find an item or two that you will fulfill simply by the nature of this event.

If you have questions, please reach - email, text, or call are all fine.

Regards,
Marty Sanders
