Cub Scout Box Car Races!

The Sunday following Camp, we had another Scouting event. The boys had their Box Car Races at the Church parking Lot. These are gravity powered, pre-made cars the kids just steer down the hill.

There was a lot of set up and rules to be read, but soon it was time to give the children their fun.

Karl used this event to try to bring one of Anton's friends into his pack. Little did we know, someone from another pack had "scouted" out a new pack for her son at the camp the week before. She came with her son and they are now part of Karl's Den also.

Isabella and Anton have multiple runs down the hill.

But the day was very hot. The pack had provided hot dogs, chips, cookies, lemonade and water to keep everyone fed and hydrated. I did not eat any of the food as it was all processed food, but that is for a later post. I enjoyed the time sitting with my friend Aileen as our children took turns going down the hill.

At least Isabella thought so as she chomps Oreos in her post race pose! I guess she deserves it, she did win most of her races.
