Today was Pinewood Derby Race day! The boys had a great time experiencing their first derby. Everyone, young and old who participated received a blue ribbon and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each den (age group) got trophies. The 1st place winners from each den went on to race in the Pack Championship (all ages) where the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners got even bigger trophies! Sportsmanship was a big theme and it was difficult for the first timers (6-7yr olds) to understand that there would be "winners" and "losers", but overall everyone seemed to have fun.
Now - for our results: Jack narrowly took 2nd in the den (having won all of his heats - except one - his is the red car). Ryan took 1st place in the sibling division - in an extremely close "race-off" at the end (Ryan's is the blue car). 
We all left proud that we participated and excited and full of ideas for next year's derby.
