In teams of 6-8, the Cub Scouts, Scouts, Girl Guides and Pathfinders pull a sleigh over a 2.5 km course through the woods.
“Most of the activities are based on the Scouts program in terms of the skills that they’ve learned like fire lighting, compass and map-reading” said event coordinator Bill Somers.
The event started when a small Scouts group from St. Vital held a similar event 45 years ago.
