Swing Bridge (from Klondike 2001)
Objective: While your patrol is hiking, you come to a creek that is too wide to jump across. Using material available, your patrol must construct a Swing Bridge. All patrol members must cross the "creek" (a marked distance), using the Swing Bridge without getting into the creek.
Equipment Provided: 1-pole 10-12 feet long, 1-pole 6 feet long,
1 piece of rope each in the following lengths: 75, 30, 15, and 5 feet.
Equipment Needed: 3 pieces of rope (each 6 ft in length)

Procedure: Position the two poles on the ground at 90 degrees to each other per the sketch:

Tie the long guy rope one-foot from the top of the larger pole. Use a clove hitch in the center of the rope so the ends of the guy rope are approximately of equal length. Tie another line, for a third guy, to the top of the pole with timber hitch.

The two poles will be held together using the two shorter ropes supplied. The rope will be tied to the poles in four places using the following knot: A clove hitch finished with a two half hitch using the short end from the clove hitch per sketch.The short rope (5 feet) will support the small pole about 2 feet from the base of the larger pole. The rope is tied to smaller pole about one foot from the end using knot described in paragraph above. The other end is to be tied to the upright one to two feet above the position of the horizontal pole. (Note: remove excess slack in rope before tying second end.) Again use the knot in sketch

The 15-foot rope will support the outer ends of the horizontal pole and the upright. Using the knot in sketch, tie the rope to the horizontal pole about 1 foot from the far away end. The other end is to be tied to the upright just under the guy ropes, again using the knot in sketch. (Note: remove any excess slack in rope before finishing knots.)
The patrol-furnished ropes are to be used to pull the horizontal pole back to the starting side for the next scout’s turn. A 2 half hitch must be used to tie the rope to the end of the horizontal. A square knot and sheet bend must be used to join the rope together.

One scout will be positioned on the opposite side of the river with a guy rope. With three scouts holding the end of the guy ropes, the other patrol members will stand the large pole upright, placing the base into a designated location.

Each scout will walk on the small pole to the upright and swing the horizontal pole to the other side of the "creek". Then he will walk the across the pole to the other side of the "creek". The horizontal pole will be returned to the starting side using the patrol-furnished rope. After all patrol members have crossed, except the two scouts holding the guy ropes, one rope is tossed across the river. The event is complete when all patrol members are on the opposite side of the creek from which they started.
There will be a 20 minute time limit.

Scoring:
Scoring will be based on completion of the event, purpose of knots and tied correctly, teamwork, and patrol spirit.

Stepping Stones (from Klondike 2001)
Objective: Get your patrol safely across a river.
Scenario: Your patrol is hiking through rough terrain in the Arctic circle during the winter months. The temperature is some where around sixty degrees below zero and body limbs freeze at a rapid pace. Your patrol comes across a fairly wide river, however there is a faint path of stepping stones that can be seen. A tree has fallen on the bank that you are standing on and planks for walking on are available. It is your patrol’s duty to traverse across this river without any fatalities to the frigid water. Hurry because the longer the time period you spend on the river, the larger the chance for limbs to be frozen forming handicaps. Possible handicaps you might encounter with your members in these harsh conditions: deaf, blind, limited appendage usage.

Procedure: The patrol will be randomly divided into 2 groups of 5 (where in many patrols some boys will go twice) so every boy participates. In the first group of 5 some of the boys will randomly recieve a sign around the neck announcing a particular disability. They will then be timed getting across the river using the planks to bridge the gap between pairs of stones. When they are safely over the river the time will pause while the second group of 5 goes through the same procedure. The combined time will be the patrol's time.

Equipment Provided: stepping stones (concrete blocks), planks, a river.
Equipment Needed: none
Scoring:    10 pts. - Scout Spirit (teamwork and cooperation)
                  90 pts - Time (88 for 2^nd, 86 for third, etc)
                  Penalty - 15 seconds added to time for instances of touching the ground / water.

Tarp Pitch (from Klondike 2002)
Objective: To set up a simple A-Frame tarp using specific knots
Procedure: The patrol will be given a rectangular piece of plastic and a long rope. They will be led to a set of trees and shown where to make their shelter. The shelter will be constructed using the plastic sheet resting over a line that they must tie between the two trees using a clove hitch on one end and a tautline hitch on the other. The sheet should have ropes tied to the four corners secured with sheetbends. The ropes that are attached to the plastic should be tied to stakes that will be provided that are already pounded into the ground. The knots at these stakes should also be tautline hitches. Time begins when the judge says, and ends when the shelter is set up correctly. The patrol leader will select the 5 boys who will be tying 2 knots each knots.
Equipment Provided: plastic sheet, 1 long rope for ridge, 4 stakes already in the ground
Equipment Needed: 4 ropes (8-10 feet long)

Caterpillar Race with 3 Skis (from Klondike 2002)
Objective: To navigate a course using 3 skis as a group
Equipment Provided: Three skis each 6 feet long and 6 inches wide with ropes for handholds
Equipment Needed: none
Procedure: Five patrol members mount the skis each with a foot on the center ski and the other foot on an outside ski. Alternating boys will have their second foot on the same outside ski. In this fashion time will start as the Scouts start on a triangular course. After the first leg of the triangle is rounded there will be a line to stop at. Time will pause while the second team of five members get in position on the skis. Some members may be on both teams, but all members of the patrol must participate. If there are only five members in the patrol they will need to dismount the skis when time is paused and change positions before completing the course. Time will start again and end after the second turn gets the Scouts back to the starting place. The patrol must continue until the last ski is past the starting line. Patrols must complete the course with all five team members on the skis. Scouts walking the course will not count. There will be no advancement of any caterpillar or changing directions while any foot is on the ground.
Scoring: Scoring will be force-ranked based on time from 50 to 100 points.

Radio Isotope (from 2003 Klondike)
Objective: To move a canister with ropes while blindfolded.
Equipment needed: nothing
Equipment provided: 5 ropes, inner tube section, plastic bucket, 5 blindfolds, circle of rope, obstacles
Procedure: Patrol will be responsible for moving a “radio isotope” from a containment area, through a series of obstacles, to an alternate containment area. The patrol will not be able to step into either containment area, and will move the “radio isotope” by using a series of ropes attached to a section of inner tube. All patrol members will be blindfolded except for the patrol leader, who will direct his members without touching them to transport the “radio isotope”. For patrols composed of more than 6 scouts, the event should be run twice including all members of the patrol between the two heats-maximum 6 scouts per heat, with the average of the two scores taken for the patrol official result. For patrols with 5 members, 4 will move the canister blindfolded with the patrol leader giving directions.

Scoring: 100 points will be based on best time- force ranked
5-second penalty for each violation of containment area space

A-Frame Relay (From 2003 Klondike)
Objective: To walk an A-Frame a given distance using three attached ropes.
Procedure: The patrol will have one of its members stand on the cross piece of the A-Frame and have the other members man the three ropes that are attached to its top. Time will start when the boys say that they are in position and ready. The patrol has to walk the A-Frame (at least one leg always touching the ground) around a given course. Dragging the A-Frame is not acceptable, nor will the boys on the ropes be allowed to touch the A-Frame to carry it.
Equipment needed: none
Equipment provided: A-Frame with attached ropes
Scoring: up to 100 points - force ranked
There will be a 30 second penalty every time the Scout on the A-Frame touches the ground. Patrols that are trying to drag the A-Frame instead of walking it will be taken back to the starting line without restarting their time. There is a 15 minute time limit.

Caterpillar Race (from Klondike 2004)
Objective: To have 5 boys navigate a pair of 1 by 6's as a team.
Procedure: 5 boys will be selected by the patrol leader. These boys will take positions on a pair of 1 by 6's, one foot on each board. There will be a set of rope handles for each boy to hold. The patrol will then proceed to walk with the 1 by 6's around a course
Equipment Provided: Caterpillar
Equipment Needed: Nothing
Scoring: 100 points force-ranked. There will be a 10 second penalty for every limb that makes contact with the ground.

Survival Skills (from Klondike 2004)
Objective: Learn preparation for expected and unexpected needs that may arise in a survival situation in cold weather. Work as a team to solve problems under time pressure.
Equipment needed: Nothing
Equipment provided: A number of items that may or may not be useful to survive and deal with problems encountered in the scenario.
Procedure:
Patrols will have up to 15 minutes to complete the following 3 tasks:
1. The patrol will read a written scenario that describes the survival situation that they find themselves in. It will be a cold weather scenario. The patrol will need to assume they will need to survive on their own for at least several days time without outside help as well as deal with any problems that the scenario gives them, such as the need to signal rescuers, to treat injuries, and/or to minimize adverse effects of weather conditions.
2. Prior to the problem-solving phase of the event, patrols will have up to 5 minutes to pick a small number of items (the written scenario will indicate how many) from those made available to them.
3. Solve or deal with problems that the scenario gives them, using any of the items that they have chosen. Items may be used for multiple purposes. The patrol can also use any dead natural materials found in the area of the event and clothing they are wearing. They may not use any items, other than clothing, that they may have on their person or in their Klondike sled or travois.

Following the 15 minute timed period, the patrol will be asked to explain/describe any creative ways that items were used in solving a problem or are planned to be used for the survival of the patrol. Judges may ask questions as well. This debriefing will take at most 5 minutes.

Scoring: (100 points possible)
20 points: Teamwork
30 points: Selection of most useful items from those available (“experts” will determine the most correct selections for the purpose of survival and problem solution; this list and an accompanying explanation will be distributed at the awards ceremony but not during the competition). For example, if 6 items are to be chosen, each correct selection will be worth 5 points; if 10 items are to be chosen, each one will be worth 3 points. If patrols use other items in unanticipated ways that are equivalently useful to the experts’ solution, equivalent points will be awarded.
50 points: Solution of scenario problems. For example, if there are 2 problems, each will be worth 25 points. Judges will award partial credit for an incomplete or partially correct solution (to the extent that patrols’ behavior can be anticipated, partial/incomplete solution points will be decided on ahead of time to maximize judging consistency).

Sled Race & Stepping Stones (from Klondike 2005)
Objective: There are 3 parts to this event:

1) Pulling a klondike sled as a team from a start line to the Stepping Stone “Pit Area”
2) Safely crossing the patrol over the “Lethal and Forbidden Pit” by arranging beams (4” X 4” X 8’) on stepping stones (cut tree stumps).

The Pit area will be set-up with the stepping stones. Each end of the pit will be marked off with a “safe” end zone. The beams will be placed in the beginning end zone. The patrol is to arrange the beams in such a way as to permit the passage of five patrol members from the beginning end zone to the ending end zone without stepping into the Lethal and Forbidden Pit.

PROCEDURE:
· After receiving instructions from the judges, the clock will start and the provided sled must be moved (pushed/pulled) by five of the patrol members to the beginning end zone.

· Five (5) patrol members must safely cross the pit.
· Some scouts may do the sled racing, some may do the pit crossing, and some may do both, so long as all patrol members participate in one of the activities.
· The beams must have both ends placed on a stepping stone.
· Any scout stepping in to the Lethal and Forbidden Pit must return to the beginning end zone.
· Once all 5 patrol member have safely crossed the pit the clock will stop.
Equipment Provided: Everything
Equipment Needed: Nothing
Scoring: 10 Points Maximum for Teamwork, 10 Points Maximum for Patrol Spirit
The rest of the event is judged on time alone. The only penalty is lost time. If a scout should fall into the pit, he must return to the beginning end zone and begin again. All teams begin with 80 points. Each minute that passes deducts 2 points.

5 minutes – 10 points off score; 10 minutes – 20 points off score
15 minutes – 30 points off score; 20 minutes – 40 points off score

There is a maximum of 20 minutes. Patrols can still earn points, even if they are not able to successfully cross the pit (it’s difficult).

Spider Web (from Klondike 2005)
Objective:Patrols will be comprised of 5 members. The patrol is not required to provide anything for this event. If patrols have more than 5 members, the judges will randomly select the 5 participants. This is a timed event, the goal to accomplish this in the fastest possible time. An important facet of this event is communication and teamwork, and a successful patrol will reflect mastery of these elements in their time of completion. Each of the 5 participants will be required to pass through a unique opening in the spider web. If a participant rings one or more bells while passing through the web by making contact with the web, he will receive a 10 second penalty. A tarp will be placed on the ground beneath the web in order to help neutralize the weather conditions.
Equipment Provided: Spider Web
Equipment Needed: None
Scoring: 80 points
10 Points Maximum for Teamwork
10 Points Maximum for Patrol Spirit
