Iditarod Review

The 2012 Northwoods Iditarod was hosted by Troop 540 at the Flambeau Canoe Base on February 24 – 26 with great success.  The main competition of the weekend was the sled race, but Scouts also brushed up on their fire making, compass, and first aid skills for stations found along the “Iditarod Challenge Trail.”  Three Troops were in attendance and had a wonderful time: 503, 540 and 599. A special thank you to the following for organizing this event: Troop 540, Peggy Straight and Paul Melby.

Pinewood Derby Results

The 2012 Northwoods District Pinewood Derby was held on March 10 at Tomahawk Elementary School.  The top six winners from all Packs were invited to attend, and there was a great competition between 53 boys.  This event would not have been possible without the combined efforts of Pack 540, Pack 599 and Pack 503.
