Have I mentioned that I love scouts? What other organization teaches my boys to cook, vote, tie cool knots and be trustworthy and loyal (to name a few). We participated in our last Pinewood Derby this month. I can't believe that phase is over. I'm relieved. We never really found the balance of actually allowing the scout to do little more than sand and paint his car. I'd like to see a derby in the future that has two cars submitted per family. One the boy makes and one the Dad makes. :O
Our cub master, Angie has done such a terrific job with the boys. She brings Bobcat blood (red Kool-Aid) for the newbies to drink and has interesting visitors like veterans and fireman. And she knows how to keep a pack meeting short and doesn't even provide treats (because who needs more sugar? Not little boys. :) She is awesome!
