Pinewood Derby 2010

Nathan started cubscouts this school year with a local cub scout pack. Becuase he is in 1st grade he is a tiger scout and today was their yearly pinewood derby.


His pack is old and well established (been around for about 50 or 60 years or so) and we have really enjoyed it so far. They had a race for siblings so we were able to include Joshua too.


It took place at a local park, centered around one of the large pavillions. The families brought chairs, blankets, and a few tents which where gathered arround. There were three stations for checking in: picture, pitstop for servicing cars, and final inspection.


And then of course the track.


Here are the competitors


and the siblings.

One of the nicest things was that Joshua hung out with another little brother and they just had a ball chasing each other arround the park. They went on a walk with Trey's grandma, built a teepee, and just had a great time being independent while playing out in the psuedo wild.


Nathan won three of his four races and placed 25th over all (out of 80 something boys). He was the third fastest Tiger scout and was really excited to win this ribbon. All in all, a good day.
