Liam began scouts as soon as he turned eight and has been loving it. I was really not excited for scouts, but I have changed my mind. The leaders here to a great job, and he is learning some important life skills. We look forward to it each week.
Liam was so excited to wear his scout uniform for the first time. When it was finally time for scouts he quickly put his shirt on, tucked it in with a belt, then had me tie on his "neckerchief." Then he ran out to the edge of the driveway and waved at cars as they went by.
Liam's first scout meeting turned out to be the pinewood derby! Here is the car he designed all by himself. Each scout had to name their car and Liam came up with "Fireboy."
The scouting program here is pretty good. I don't know if all derby's are done this way, but they had all the bells and whistles.
There was this screen that projected who was racing, the name of the cars and who was next along with other statistics.
When it was your car's turn to come down you got to sit at the end and wait.
Liam was so proud of his car. When he tells people about the pinewood derby he tells them that he got 3rd. Haha. He did at one point... he got 3rd out of 4 cars in one of the races he did. Sweet kid.
