Rain Gutter Rigatta

Buddy is a Webelo scout and this year his pack held a Rain Gutter Rigatta. The last 2 years they've had a pine wood derby so I was a little apprehensive with the boat thing. But it was great! Apparently the pack is going to rotate with Pine Wood Derby, Rain Gutter Rigatta and Space Shuttle something. But Buddy won't get to do that next year because he'll be an "11 year old scout." And I guess they aren't part of "Cub Scouts." I don't know. This whole scouting thing is clear as mud. Anyway, back to the Rigatta

Before the race, awards were given. This is what Buddy was awarded this month. He's been busy!

And he's taking the lead.

Go Buddy!

There wasn't a single boy who passed out either. No one even complained of seeing stars. What champs they are!

He got a ribbon for participating, he won third in his troop - then Mister fixed his sail - then he won third over all. Way to go!!!! He had a great time and that's what matters the most! The Rigatta was so much less competitive than the derby. It was kinda nice. :)
