Stuart's Stool

We have some really great Cub Scout leaders in our ward. Bro. Durgin who was recently released helped the boys make these stools. Bro. Durgin cut out all the pieces and then helped the boys put them together. Stuart was so excited when he came home this evening. Pleased with what he had made! Good job Stuart.

Pine Wood Derby

Stuart had his Cub Scout Pine Wood Derby on May 20, 2009. He was so excited. The date had been moved a few times, so his car was ready for more than a month. It was hard to convince him not to play with the car, so it would still be "fast" the day of the race.

Grandpap helped Stuart make his car. Here Stuart is ready to take his car to the race.

The car was under weight, so he added coins, keys and tape to bring it up to weight!!

Racing his car!!

At the pack meeting on June 3, 2009, Stuart was awarded the ribbon for the most aerodynamic design. Way to go Stuart!

Stuart's Blue and Gold

To open the Cub Scout Pack Blue and Gold dinner, Stuart led the flag ceremony. He did very well with some help from Brother Beers.

Raeleigh had the camera and took several pictures. She took pictures of the boys getting their awards. Stuart earned his flag football and map and compass belt loop he earned. Good job Stuart.

The Great Raingutter Rigatta

Last night was Stuart's first Raingutter Rigitta. He made the boat by himself, except the first layer of paint. Stuart is very pleased of how the boat looks. Stuart's boat was raced four times. He won, lost, won and lost the last race.

As you can see the cubs had two options for wind power, blowing through a straw or just blowing directly into the sail. During practice races, Stuart tried both styles of power. He decided that he preferred to blow directly into the sail. I think all the boys had tired cheeks after the races were over!

One of my favorite things about Stuart is that he cheers others on. Last night he was very intense in cheering his fellow cubs on. We could hear his voice over anyone else in the small crowd.

Stuart had a great time!
