Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby...


Okay, you may disagree with me but, I don't really care for some of the scouting projects. For instance..the pinewood derby deal. Okay, first of all, it isn't for the boys it's for the Dads. Second, all it teaches the boys is that someone elses Dad knows how to make a better car than your Dad. Then the boys get in tears once they lose a run.


Okay Mo'unga and Darren spent a few late nights making this Derby car. This is all new for Darren since he didn't attend Boy Scouts when he was young. Last year, we sent Mo there with a car he made on his own. Was that a shock. He basically was looking pretty shabby. So, this year Darren wanted to do better for Mo. He spent a few late nights out in the garage after work making this "hot car" for Mo. Then when we went to the Pack Meet Mo only had 2 runs and he was done. What a waste of Darren's hard work. Mo was happy but, I don't see the positive point of it all....anyone care to explain?

Totally with you. Our derby is next week since we didn't have a cub scout leader in January (surprise!) Last year Logan's never made it past the finish line-it just would stop, so this year I told Jared you really have to spend more time. That was a month ago and like I said it's next week so hopefully this year Logan won't get the "most economical" award again.
