Rain Gutter Regatta





On the 15th of September the cub scouts had the Rain Gutter Regatta. Gavin made his boat and was very excited to see how his first Regatta experience would go. He did great! He took 4th place, although Doug gave him some pointers on a different way to blow his boat before the last race, and he didn't do as well. So, in my opinion he could have taken third if it wasn't for his father. Of course without a little guidance from his father the boat wouldn't have raced near as well I am sure. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and as a bonus Gavin recieved his wolf badge along with a gold arrow and two silver arrows. He really loves scouts and I am grateful for the way it teaches the boys to set and achieve goals in life along with the sense of accomplishment they feel as they make things like pinewood derby cars and regatta boats.
