When Jarell the last of 6 sons, turned 11 years old we thought we were done with Cub Scouts. Then Dan thought it would be fun to start up a Cub Scout group in White Mesa where he works, so to make a long story short, here we go again.
The boys in the troop are anywhere from 8 years old to 11 years old. Dan teaches the Wolf, Bear and Webelos Dens all together. Last week he decided to have a Pinewood Derby. Since most of the boys don't have willing parent helpers, that meant he had to help make all 7 of the cars. Oh yeah, did I mention that he only gave himself 4 days to get ready? The idea was hatched on Monday, and on Thursday they had the main event.
I've been to a lot of Pinewood Derbies, but this had to be one of the funnest ones I've ever attended. The police car won and all the boys laughed about that and said that it seemed right. The boys had so much fun and even when the official race was over, they stayed for a couple of hours to race their cars and just have fun. They were so proud of their cars and even the slower cars were prized. For the first Pinewood Derby ever to be held by the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Cub Scouts of Pack 1629 it was truly a Great Event.

So, Dan now that you've helped make 27 derby cars, are you done yet?

Thanks for the presents. KayBree was just asking me for a Fancy Nancy book off of her book order. She was VERY happy! Daimen loved his too.
Thanks, Ashlee
