Snow-blinded scouts overcame ferocious weather to compete in this year’s Klondike Derby events. We didn’t win any gold stars, but the promoters did, begrudgingly, give us a ribbon for participation. And yet we were rewarded by each other’s company, the skills, striving and encouragement of our scout and adult leaders, and the laughs provided, frequently, by our beloved court jester. The War for Independence reenactment, the war between two flags that is, was a non-starter. See the photos, you’ll understand: http://www.lincolnscouts.org/gallery/?album=1&gallery=36
