Raingutter Regatta

Post date: Nov 18, 2016 6:19:36 PM

Monday November 21st from 7-8:30 - Pack Meeting : Raingutter Regatta. See October 22nd email for complete rules, but here is the quick version. Build the boat in the standard way, shape the hulls, paint the boat, and glue the sail to the mast (but not to the boat).

* The rain-gutters should be available at 6:30 for scouts to test out their boats. Please just test out one or two times

* The easiest way to shape the hull of the boat is with a file or rough sandpaper.

* Scouts should work with a parent to build the boat, but do more and more of the work themselves each year. The goal is to have the scout build the boat themselves by the time they are Webelos.

* Each den races in a double elimination format, and then we will have a Pack competition with the top 2 scouts from each den racing. There is also a race for siblings.

* Pinewood derby cars will be available at the end of the meeting. Each scouts get a free kit (this was part of the dues), and siblings and adults can buy kits for $5.
