6 Northwood s Iditarod Rules and Regulations: The Iditarod is a timed race with several scout skills challenges on the course. What you will need: each patrol will need a boy built sled and can consist of a maximum of 8 boys per team. One person must be a musher, and one person must ride in the sled and maximum of 6 boys to pull. The start will be a staggered start so that teams can distance themselves from each other. Teams will be able to pass each other at any point in the race. The skill stops will have adequate personnel and equipment to accommodate multiple teams. The mushing/running legs of this race will be longer than usual to promote physical fitness, and less skill challenges to keep things moving. Teams can change out mushers and riders as they see fit. We recommend that teams have a diverse mixture of ages so as to keep things fair. What to Bring: All meals are your responsibility. We do not provide any meals. Shovels, rope, tarps, lean-too poles and sleds are individual troop responsibilities as well. Ice fishing equipment All personal cold weather camping equipment Sleds for Iditarod challenge What we provide: Refreshments and snacks for the cracker barrel Coffee 24-7! Snow mounded up for quinzhee building (This will be done a week prior so that snow has time to settle) Firewood (Free of charge) LIVE BAIT (You don t need to bring any live bait, it will be provided. You should bring an empty container to put them in if you want to carry around your own personal bucket.) Warming shack for ice fishermen All Prizes (We have the spirit award traveling lantern; however, we do not have the original traveling trophy. If the troop that has it could bring it, or if not able to make it, contact us so that we can arrange pickup, that would be great.) Bathroom facilities: Camp Arrowhead has one rustic outhouse for the entire island, however to accommodate emergencies we will have two additional porta-jons at the boat landing.

7 Safety: We have a cabin on the island that can house about 16 boys (more if floor space is utilized) and about 8 adults. If boys or adults get too cold, the cabin is always available and will be heated throughout the weekend. We are also right in town and only minutes from the hospital if need be. Contact Information: You don t need to RSVP, but any heads up at all with how many boys you will be bringing would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
