Ten scouts from Bluffton Boy Scout Troop 256 participated at the 50th annual Klondike Derby of the Black Swamp Area Council. This event was held on Saturday, Jan. 23 at B.S.A. Camp Lakota, near Defiance.

Based on the Alaskan gold rush of 1896, the Scouts pulled their six-foot wooden sled packed with their day supplies for the seven-hour race on 3-4 inches of snow.
