Did I not tell you?
Remy and I are scout leaders.
I know, right?
We are the Bear Den leaders. Those are the 9 year olds for all you non-scouting types. It's been fun so far. A little frustrating because there are hardly any boys so it's hard to plan activities. But we're figuring it out. We're definitely not naturals at it, but it's fun.
And when I say we hardly have any boys, I mean it.
So our Pack consists of all the boys that live in the boundaries of the three wards that share our church building. So that's a pretty large area.
There are 4 Bears.
And that's if they all show up. So usually that means one or two come to Den meetings.
So we combine a lot with the Wolves because they hardly have any kids either.
But back to the Derby.
I have to admit the Pinewood Derby is WAY more fun than I expected. The track was intense with electronic sensor things and everything that gave exact finish times (we're talking NASCAR stuff here). I was impressed.
And the boys did SUCH a great job. It was so much fun to see all the work they (and their parents/relatives) put into them.
We were so proud of our Pack! Each boy got to race their car 4 times (once in each lane, just to make it fair) and then the top 3 with the fastest times overall get a bigger trophy. We had 2 of our Scouts in the top 3! First and third place!
