As the scout year came to a close, our pack had the raingutter regata. The boys put together and decorate boats which they race in raingutters (see last year's race). We left it to the last minute so we had some last minute painting and assembling to do.
The evening was pleasant--warm but not too warm, threatening rain but never delivering. Getting things ready was easy.
My son's den had a handful of boys, so they raced in multiple heats.
The fastest racers (which did not include my son) got trophies.
The pack also gave out a trophy for the boat decorated with the best Scout spirit.
A good time was had by all!
