Welcome to Winter Klondike
Welcome to the Boone Trails 2022 Winter Klondike, “Return to Brownsea Island”. The
Klondike event will be held on January 22 at Beaumont Scout Reservation, Scoutcraft
field. Our event will incorporate the Klondike Derby as well as many other activities
and is open to Webelos, Scouts BSA, and Venturers.
Upon arrival, please send your Scoutmaster and SPL to Headquarters (HQ) to check in
along with a copy of your registration list and health forms. Check-in will begin at 7:00
AM and Headquarters (HQ) will be at the pioneering cabin in Scoutcraft field.
Our Klondike is youth led. During the event, please listen to and follow the directions
provided by the youth staff. If you have any question or comments, please don’t
hesitate to contact staff or visit HQ. We are here to make sure that your troop has a
great time and looks forward to our next District event. We welcome and appreciate
your feedback along with suggestions for the future.
Registration
The event fee will be $14 for Scouts, Webelos and adults until online registration
closes on January 16, 2022. The fee includes the event patch, program materials, all
activities (except Indian Lore Merit Badge) and lunch provided by the Boone Trails OFP.
There will be an additional fee of $10 for Indian Lore Merit Badge for the required
materials. Event registration can be found on the Boone Trails District webpage under
OUR EVENTS.
Additionally, preregistration will be available for merit badges and Webelos Nova to
reserve a spot for your Scouts and so they can be prepared with any prerequisites.
We’re offering very exciting badges and Nova that are sure to fill quickly. Therefore, if
your Scouts are interested in a badge or Nova please register as soon as possible;
however, please also ensure that the limited number of reserved spots will be used.
Winter Klondike Manual
Planning for the Klondike takes months and goes right up to opening day as staff
adjusts for the availability of equipment, resources, counselors, and the weather. In
order to publish information as soon as possible, a draft manual is provided for troop
planning. A final manual will be published before the event and updates will be
announced at the opening. Troop feedback based upon the draft manual is
appreciated for review during the planning process.

Page 5COVID-19 Guidelines
The event will strive to follow the Greater St. Louis Area Council (GSLAC) BSA
guidelines for COVID-19. Additional information can be found at https://stlbsa.org/covid-
operational-guidance/
To reiterate a few sections from BSA documents:
• As stated in the Restart Scouting Checklist: “Precautions and mitigation
strategies are important, but they cannot eliminate the potential for exposure to
COVID-19 or any other illness when in-person activities resume…. Every
member, volunteer and family must evaluate their unique circumstances and
make an informed decision before attending in-person activities.”
• Even with strict precautions and safety measures, there is still a possibility of
COVID-19 at the event. By attending a GSLAC event, parents and participants
acknowledge they will do their best to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and
know that there is always a risk.
• Masks are required to be worn indoors by every person at camp regardless of
age or whether someone has been vaccinated. Masks must always cover both
nose and mouth unless actively eating or drinking. The following are acceptable
masks to wear at the event:
o Two or more layers of washable breathable fabric, that cover your nose
and mouth completely, and snug on all sides
o Neck gaiters or buffs are acceptable if there are two layers of cotton fabric
o Do not wear a mask with an exhalation valve or vent
o Face shields are only accepted if a mask is also worn with them. Face
shields alone are not enough protection.
• Participants should stay home if they:
o Feel unwell in any way
o Are awaiting COVID-19 test results
o Have been exposed in the past 14 days. Exposure is defined as being with
someone who has COVID-19 or is suspected of having COVID-19 while you
were:
▪ Within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes during a 24-hour period
• Masked or unmasked
• Indoors or outdoors
▪ Had direct physical contact with the individual
▪ Shared eating or drinking utensils
Page 6▪ Coughed or sneezed on
• There will be a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who does not adhere to the
COVID-19 precautions and policies. Participants and/or adults will be sent home
if they knowingly violate these policies and do not correct their behavior.
Parents are instructed to be on-call at all times while their scout(s) is/are at the
event.
