Raingutter Regatta

Friday night was the last cub scout event of the season.  The Raingutter Regatta!!  I had never heard of such a thing, but discovered that it is a ton of fun.

The boys each built a boat over the last month.  I intentionally didn't read the rules for the boat building because I'm afraid our family cheated.  Here is Tyler's boat.


And, this is what most of the boats looked like.

 

Tyler gave his boat a test run and this is when we discovered that this design was very stable and efficient.  Oops.


It won every race.  Maybe it wasn't the boat... Tyler does have a lot of hot air!


I love that the scouts are sure to include little brothers.  He had a blast too.


On your marks, get set... GO!


Watching the competition.


And, the pontoon boat, named Blue Typhoon, wins the race!!  Again.


Tyler let Ryan try out his boat.  See what I mean about the scouts taking good care of him.  Angelo gave him a boost.


Once the races ended it was time for a bonfire with s'more and some kickball.  What a great night!


Yum!


Couldn't ask for a better event.
