Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume rain over the past few days OHC had to postpone the Klondike to next weekend. Most of the adult leaders and some of the scouts who were going this weekend have conflicts next weekend and as a result Troop 934 has withdrawn from the competition. Full refunds have been issued. Thank you
