Three Riverstone students participated in the Boy Scouts of America’s Tablerock District Klondike Derby at Idaho City this weekend. Austin Hunt (10th Grade), Don Lewis (8th Grade) and Jack Johnson (4th Grade) all competed using “Iditarod” style dog sleds their dens/patrols built. The event emphasized team work and motivation as they moved from station to station. They built fires, boiled snow water, identified terrain features, determined azimuths to distant objects, practiced rescuing a victim from an icy pond, treated victims for hypothermia and completed a challenging obstacle course with their sleds.
Additionally, please give Austin an additional pat on the back for two reasons –
1. He is very close to earning his Eagle Scout badge.
2. He volunteered to help the boys in the den.
All three boys demonstrated the spirit of cooperation, teamwork and service that we are emphasizing at Riverstone.
