For a recent pack night, our pack participated in the Cubanapolis 500. (This was much better than the Kindy 500, because Zac made his "car" by himself.) As always, the activity was well thought out and the boys had a great time. Each boy needed a pit crew to help him through the race. The boys were decked out in their car, goggles, and huge rubber boots. They made four laps around the gym, making a pit stop between each lap. The boys could not do anything themselves; they were dependent on their crew.
After lap one, the pit crew changed tires. This meant pulling off the boots and socks and then replacing them. Lap two was a windshield wash. We squirted water on their goggles and wiped them off.
After lap 3, the racers fueled up by drinking water through a tiny straw. I don't know who had more fun, the racers or the pit crews. I got to help Zac and another boy in the pack. He actually ended up with the best time. I am pretty sure it was due to his amazing crew:)
Zac is loving Scouts. At our Blue and Gold banquet he received his Bobcat. He had actually earned it earlier, but opted to wait for the awards night. Now his goal is to get his Wolf by the end of the summer. I am proud of him and grateful for his opportunities to learn and gain confidence. My boy is growing up and what a great kid he is turning out to be!
