BEWARE!

"THE CLAIM JUMPER"

Beware of Moxie the Claim Jumper!!!

Moxie has been snowbound in a cabin in the mountains for the past three months. He came across a pilgrim frozen on the trail just before he got to the cabin. In his hand was a hardbound Boy Scout Handbook open to page 204 "Cold-Weather Clothing Checklist". The young pilgrim should have read that page BEFORE he headed for the trail. Since he was snowbound for three months he had a lot of time to read the Boy Scout Handbook in detail. He heard about the Scout Klondike Derby from an old timer and decided to test the scouts on what he had read in the Boy Scout Handbook.

Picture of Moxie the Claim Jumper!

Now Moxie is no fool and he decided to make it worth his effort, he would do two things. First, he would JUMP their CLAIM and take a GOLD nugget for each question the Patrol member answered incorrectly. Secondly, he would give them a Klondike Derby coin (The coins are edible, but be sure you do not eat them on the trail) for every question they answered correctly.

Remember, HAVING FUN is more important than how many questions you get correct or how many GOLD nuggets the CLAIM JUMPER takes!

How well do you *KNOW* your Boy Scout rank requirements?
