Yesterday was the Raingutter Regatta for Tyler. I was proud of him because he built his boat on his own. I came home from work and all I needed to help him with was gluing the fin and sail on. He painted an eagle on his boat with some other designs. It looked great.
When it comes to these competitions in Cub Scouts, I fear that I am not the best Dad as I don’t get too into it. So far our performance in the Pinewood Derby has been a little disappointing. I am just not that into it when it comes to building the car. Maybe next year I will recruit some help and try to help Tyler build a competitive car. Or, I can do as my brother does and just buy a winning car online.
Back to the regatta. Tyler’s boat performed great. The race has more to do with how you blow on the sail than anything else. He came in 2nd place in his Den and 3rd overall.
I love scouting. It is so much more than learning to tie knots. Giving these boys a chance to set goals, learn new things, compete, have leadership experiences etc. Scouting is great!
