Raingutter Regatta '09














A few pictures from our Spring Scout event...the Raingutter Regatta. Basically the boys get a balsa wood boat kit, shape, paint and decorate it. Then on race day they set them in a raingutter full of water and using only their own hot air and a straw, blow them to the end. The first boat to the end wins. We had a lot of fun racing and watching...we've got some strategies for next year! :-) Because only 2 boats race at a time, it takes awhile to get through all 50 scouts (they race multiple times)...they didn't allow siblings to participate, however they did have really fun water games and races...more pictures in the next post! :-)
