Pinewood Derby!!!

It is that time again. Time for the Cub Scouts' annual Pinewood Derby race! Jonathan designed his car all by himself. No pre-cuts, no one else's ideas but his own. It looked very aerodynamic and really cool! He also painted it himself and even took pictures of it from every angle himself. What a creative guy he is!

He is in the 4th grade this year (WEBELOS I), so we had to wait a while for the Tigers, Wolves and Bears to race their cars. Once it was the Webelos I's turn, the other den raced first, so just a little more waiting. Then it was time for the Blue Dragons den!

He got first place out of three in his den!!!!

Now on to the runoff between the two dens.......

There were a total of 6 heats, each car racing in each lane one time. Most of them were very close!

In the end, HE WON FIRST PLACE!!!!

It was a very exciting time! This was Jonathan's very first trophy too. He has been wanting one ever since Jayla won her first trophy last year. He was on cloud 9 all day.....all week, actually. He wanted to carry his trophy around and show it to everyone!

Congratulations, Jonathan! We are so proud of you for doing your best!
