Arrow of Light

Quinn recently earned his Arrow of Light. This is the highest award in cub scouts. He had a great leader that was very organized and made sure the boys completed everything. I'm the cub master so I had to plan the Arrow of Light. I've never seen one done. Thanks goodness there's a lot of good resources  on the Internet. Quinn wasn't too thrilled about getting his face painted. 

Pinewood Derby

We recently had our Pinewood Derby and since I'm the Cubmaster I got to be in charge. I've been to a few pinewood derbies so I kind of knew what I was doing. The biggest problem was finding a method for setting up the races and keeping track of who won. Luckily, Doug was able to find a free program on the internet. I'm not sure why the BSA dont' have some type of inexpensive software available. There were so many different ways to run a pinewood derby and it was a little overwhelming trying to pick the best for our pack. We have 19 boys and we wanted each of them to be able to race several times. I didn't get a lot of pictures, in fact I didn't even get any of Aiden and Will with their cars. Quinn and Aiden wanted their cars to be wedge shaped. They actually ties the first 2 times they raced. Will's car was pretty cool. It was kind of spikey. The boys actually did really well this year. Quinn came in 1st, Aiden was 4th, and Will was 6th.

The "Parking Lot" for the cars.

The trophies. The one with the star is the "Best in Show" trophy.

1st place!
