The cub scout district Cubmobile race was today. It was clear, but BOY was it cold. We used the same cubmobiles the pack has used in the past...not sure how long it's been since we raced, but at least a couple years. The kids all seemed to have fun, even though we didn't win much. Plus, I'd suggest a different format than everyone district-wide showing up all at the same time and then waiting...and waiting...for your turn, then waiting...and waiting...for the next turn. They should divide up into pack time slots, or something. Anyway, most of the scouts were gone by the time we were done. Next year, I think we'll need to get the cars fixed up or build some new ones. Last Tuesday, the last meeting before the race, we had arranged to meet at the fairgrounds to practice racing downhill, but the gate at the bottom of the hill was locked so we had no place to do so. Plus, it started raining while we were there trying to figure out what to do and where to do it, so we wound up just playing some games in one of the empty pavilions.
