    Longhorn Activity Center

    Winter Outdoor Skills Competition! Saturday, February 17, 2018.
    Each patrol/crew must build and bring a wheeled Klondike sled or a wheeled miniature Conestoga or Prairie Schooner Wagon with their trademark canvas bonnets! Participants can serve as the draft animal of their choice: dogs, horses, oxen, or mules - depending on the vehicle they bring! Patrols/teams will load the wagons/sleds with their personal and patrol equipment and pull them through the competition course using a map and compass to find each station. Competition Stations are named after famous Gold Rush towns. Patrols/teams will receive "gold" nuggets for their score at each station.
