The August pack meeting was the Raingutter Regata. Ethan had been working hard, with the help of his Webelos leaders, and he finished up a few more badgets and earned his Webelos Badge. He was excited because he has a goal of getting his Arrow of Light soon. His best friend got his this month and it was really cool to watch so now Ethan really wants his. He has enough badges done he just has to wait for the 6 months that are required to be "active" in his den.
I got to paint his face with a blue "W" to symbolize the Webelos badge.
After the badges and awards were given out, the Raingutter Regata began. Bryan was in charge of the bracket so he got to tell each scout when it was his turn to race. Ethan had to race his best friend and his boat was a little hammered when all the racing was over, but he got 4th!! His tissue paper sail didn't hold up to all the water but it looked cool in the end.
The "Ghost Ship":
Then everyone hopped in the pool and had a great time swimming. It's nice that we have so many pools in the neighborhood because you can use one of them for the regata and just have fun without going very far or paying money. The kids had a lot of fun!
