Since joining Cub Scouts Isaac and I have done quite a lot of fun activities, but one of the most anticipated was the Pinewood Derby. Isaac and I worked on his car on and off for a few weeks. We designed it by drawing on the wood where we planned to cut it with the band saws. In the December Pack meeting, we had it cut. Then we sanded it, painted it and decorated it. Finally we added the wheels, the weights and the driver....who had light sabers of course! We had a treasure chest in the back which held "gold" that could be added and removed to get the weight right up to the approved limit of 5oz.
Sunday January 27th was the race. Each car ran 6 races and the speed was averaged to find a winner for each age group. Isaac had a few 2nd and 3rd place finishes and ended up 10th for his age group! He was very excited to finish in the "Top Ten" and have his name up on the screen!
