Pinewood 2014

The boys had their pinewood derby a couple weeks ago.  It;s fun to see how the plans for their cars come together.  This year, Andy has Marcus do most of the work on his car.  One of the nice things about this scout pack is that you can tell the scouts do most of their own work instead of the parents taking the lead.  I think the pinewood derby is one of the things the boys look forward to the most in scouting.  So, here are some pictures from this year's race.

Here are the cars for the adult group.  Andy made the purple octopus for Liam, who likes to be included in the racing.  I'm pretty sure he considers himself a cub scout, even though he is 4. 


Some of the scout cars.  
           

More cars.  4 cars over (the gold one) is Marcus.  Then Cale's and the silver one on the end is Ewan's.
           

Getting ready to race.  Marcus on the end, Cale in the red lane.

Ewan on the end in the yellow lane.

The boys and their cars.  They had some good races.  Ewan's car was in the running for safest driver.  I think we built our cars for looks this year rather than speed.
