Raingutter Regatta
Late Update: 6/11/2019
Many Scouts consider this to be their favorite Pack event and definitely the highlight of the summer. If you are unfamiliar with the Raingutter Regatta, think "Pinewood Derby on water." We start by providing balsa wood boat kits in advance for the Scouts to assemble and decorate. On race day, the scouts bring the boats and compete by blowing these mini-catamarans down a 10-foot raingutter filled with water. After declaring winners and awarding trophies, we fill the raingutters with ice cream and make the "world's largest ice cream sundae." Sound fun? IT IS!!!! And remember, this event is also opened to siblings.
