Thinking Inside the Box

This year was year two of the Cub Scout Boxcar Derby, the all-too-fun kick-off to the Pinewood Derby. Last year the kids had the ideas of how they wanted their cars to look and had me help them. This year they wanted to do them all on their own. The first step was to apply the base coat. Next they cut out their head holes.
Finally they put on the touch-ups: an SB in glitter on Beedle's blue car and a purple racing stripe and license plate on Gus'.



The race was a tremendous success. All of the scouts did a tremendous job on their boxes. They raced by den and Gus and Beedle both won their races. Great job!!!
