An enjoyment of outdoor activities, along with a little friendly family rivalry, were the biggest reasons Justin Oaks decided Scouting was for him.

“My brother and dad were Eagle Scouts, and I always wanted to try to catch up with those two,” Justin, 13, said as he took a break today during the three-day Boy Scout Klondike Derby 2011 competition at Camp Stambaugh, 3712 Leffingwell Road.

The Hubbard boy was one of an estimated 183 local and regional Boy Scouts age 11 to 18 who took part in the gathering, sponsored by the Whispering Pines District of the Greater Western Reserve Council Boy Scouts of America.
