Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby

Cam is in Cub Scouts this year and has been enjoying all of the fun things they do at the meetings and outings.  He was especially excited about the pinewood derby.  Cameron and Tim spent quite a few evenings in the basement working on Cam's car.  Cam designed it himself and did most of the work himself, other than the major saw work.  He painted it and worked with Tim to put the weights in.  He was so excited on the day of the pinewood derby itself, excited to see how well his car raced and to see what the other scouts did.

First race for Cameron's car, in the first lane.

 And they're off... Cam's car in the lead!

Cam had a pretty good spot to watch from right on the sidelines.

 Another race - Cam's car in the lead again.

And another race, another win for Cam!

All of the pack winners.  Cameron came in first for his den, the Lions (aka kindergarteners), and came in second overall for the pack (all of the kids, Kindergarten through 5th (??) grade).

His second place win means that Cameron gets to represent his pack in the district finals.  He was very excited and proud of himself, as he should be!!
