Last week the Genesee Cubs Scouts hosted a Rain Gutter Regatta for their December Pack meeting. Charlie got to join in and build a boat with Cooper. They had a great time sanding, painting many coats on their boats, and putting decals on them. The night of this fun event, we had dinner, voted for different categories, and then began racing. This was very hard for Cooper. It was most of these boys first time ever putting their boats in the water. So they were not sure whether to use a straw or to just use their mouth and blow their boat. Cooper won the first race and then lost the next two. He was heartbroken. He was upset most of the night. Hopefully he learned from this lesson, that he won't win at everything and he just needs to have fun and "Do his best!" Then he wanted to race his brother who really beat him. It didn't go well. Here are some pictures from the night.
Coop's boat is the one on the far left in the front and Charlie's is the second boat from the left in the back row.
Enjoying dinner with our friends before the event.
Here he goes!

Coop was so sad. They all got certificates & metals. Coop received a sailboat medaillion and his Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics Badge. Trophies and gift cards were also handed out.
