Special Cub Scout Activities

Pinewood Derby

Parent and son work together to build a gravity-powered miniature race car from a special kit. Pack 137 typically holds theirs in January.

The Raingutter Regatta is similar to the Pinewood Derby or the Space Derby except that the models are miniature sail boats. Although the seas are only 10-foot lengths of raingutter filled with water, and the ships a mere 6 inches long, the race is a very exciting event. Each boy builds his own boat with supervision and help from parents or other family members. He also provides the wind for the sail with his own lung power.
