Raingutter Regatta and Pack Meeting

At all ages and ranks in the Cub Scout program, our young men assemble models of increasing difficulty. The experience of assembling and decorating models helps to improve fine motor skills, requires the ability to read and follow directions, some knowledge of adhesives and paints including the safe application of such, and an appreciation for the time, patience and skill required to finish the project.

This year we will begin our model assemblies with something everyone can enjoy: wind-powered sail boats! Raced in an inflatable "raingutter" track, these boats are powered by the boys own breath.  (We plan to have breath mints on hand!)  The boys literally BLOW the boats to victory!

In addition to our regatta race, families will enjoy a potluck dinner.  Please signup to bring an item from our list as well as to RSVP for the headcount.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, September 19th at 6:00PM.
