THE Boat Race of the Summer is Coming!!
Saturday, August 21st, 9:30-12:30 pm
Everyone in the family is welcome to this fun event. For those new to the regatta, this is a fun outing where the Scouts propel their home made boats along a “rain gutter” using nothing but air-power. We will have a separate race for all siblings that want to join in on the fun as well (additional kits are available at the scout center). All Scouts should wear their Class B yellow t-shirt.
Pre-Race Judging in the following categories starts at 9:45 am:
- Best theme
- Most colorful
- Best use of stickers
- Best Scout-only design
The race will be held at the Elsenpeter Residence. If you have not started creating your sailing craft yet, check out the links on our Resource Library Page or Google for some tips!
Please RSVP as soon as possible >HERE<.
