Extreme Klondike! is a front-country (in contrast with backcountry), up-to-24-hour, cold-weather, personal and team challenge for older Scouts and Venturers often held in conjunction with Klondike Derby. The aim of this variation is to increase/sustain older youth participation. Part backpacking, part survival, and/or part winter camping, the mini-High-Adventure Extreme Klondike! collection of events aims to replicate trail life in the Great Northwest by presenting a wide range of basic-skill, higher-standard challenges and letting the 'boy-led' team decide who, when and how to complete each event.
