Cubs: Please help us replace the Space Derby with something other than fun? Hello everyone,
Our Cub leaders agreed that children are bored with the classic space activity Derby. They want something different but I have no idea what.
Any fresh ideas for meeting children with inner pack 39. We have covered all the other events (ie pine, cardboard carpet racing, rockets pop, skits, gold, blue.)
Thank you in advance. Again, our meetings are inside a meeting room of the church with a decent amount of space ... but not for things like flying, go-karts, etc..
=)
Hello John:
Try the gutter regatta. BSA kits for small boats, other suppliers can provide both. Kit includes the boat, mast and sail, rudder and decals. BSA used to make medals for the regatta gutter, but I do not know if they still exist. I saw the patches available.
Use a rigid splint to a channel where the boats "sail". Channels sit on a table or use a saw horse. Make sure they are level!
Search the Internet with "Gutter Regatta" and you'll have quite a few blows.
