"Recycle Raingutter Regatta"


This raingutter regatta is a Cub Scout racing event that is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby. This year we will be making it the Recycle Raingutter Regatta. Within the basic design rules, Scouts are free to build and decorate their sailboats as they choose from recyclables. Have your Scout start saving the materials they will need. The Pack will provide cutting utensils, tape, straws, and other various materials to assist in building their sailboat.
The boats are raced in a standard rain gutter that is ten feet long, placed on a table or saw horses, and filled to the top with water. The boats are propelled by blowing on the sail, either directly or through a drinking straw; the boat cannot be touched with hands or the straw. The first boat to reach the end of the gutter is the winner.

This years raingutter regatta will be held at the Turner's house on June 12th, 6:30-7:30. Bring a snack/treat to share.
