KD Sled Team Member list (one page per team) 

Half of the sleds in the Derby will be placed in the junior category and half in the senior category based on the sled's average age.

If there are multiple sleds at the median, they will be randomly and evenly distributed to junior and senior categories.

The determination of a Senior or Junior sled is made on the day of the Klondike Derby. 
It is determined by the average age of the sled members compared against the average age across the event.
Sometimes a slight adjustment might be required if we have a lot of sleds around the same age.
Guidelines for making up your sled team: 
- The Troop should make sure that they have an appropriate mix of Scouts that will be able to deal with the physical and knowledge aspects of the activities. 
- Leaders can look at the mix of games on the website. Interpersonal relationships are important as well because working as a team is an important aspect of the scoring. 
- You can reference the scoring rubric for useful scoring information when making up the teams (when it is available).

Winning sleds receive a magnificent trophy which they keep for one year. All youth on winning sleds receive a winner’s certificate.

All participating Scouts & Scouters receive a special event crest.
There are 5 sled categories as listed: 
1) Best Sled Design
2) Junior Sled - Teamwork 
3) Junior Sled  - Highest Earned Points 
4) Senior Sled  - Teamwork 
5) Senior Sled - Highest Earned Point

In the event of a poor weather forecast for the day of the event, in the week before the Klondike Event we will adopt the following procedure:  Wednesday week prior – email alert emailed to all registered troop leaders and posted to the Klondike website warning attendees of a potential change of plan – Two scenarios: 

1. Event runs as planned (email notification emailed to all registered troop leaders and posted to the Klondike website)  
2. Event moved to February 7th. (Email notification emailed to all registered troop leaders and posted to the Klondike website. Calls to all registered troop leaders) 
   
   In the event of cancellation on the 7th we will forward crests to the registered troops, along with whatever reimbursement is possible, once we have taken account of expenses.
