The Raingutter Regatta is a racing event for Cub Scouts that is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby.
Each scout should get their sailboat kit from their Den Leader at their March Pack Meeting or Blue and Gold Banquet.
Scouts are free to paint and decorate their sailboats as they choose.
The boats are raced in a standard rain gutter that is ten feet long, placed on a table and filled with water. The boats are propelled by blowing on the sail. The first boat to reach the end of the gutter is the winner. Winners will take home fame and glory!!!!
In the spirit of the regatta... Here's some boat jokes to share with your scouts:
What detergent do sailors use? --------Tide!
Where do ghosts like to go sailing? -------Lake Eerie
Where do zombies like to go sailing?-------The Dead Sea
Pack 846 hike of the month
Rifle Camp Park
April 6th (Sunday!!!!)
Meet @ 9:00AM
We're going to do another relatively local hike this month, at Rifle Camp Park in Woodland Park. We're going to blaze our own path, on their marked trails, and hike along the ridgeline and a reservoir for a roughly 2.3 mile loop. Assuming we have decent weather, we should have a nice view of the skyline of Manhattan! We are going to park and meet at the very end of Rifle Camp Road, and you can use the address "387 Rifle Camp Rd, Woodland Park, NJ 07424" to get there.
https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/new-jersey/rifle-camp-park for a peek at the trail map.
Please try to get there a few minutes early so that
we can start right at 9:00!
Don't forget to bring:
Hiking boots, Rain gear, Backpack and the 6 Essentials for Scouting!
(flashlight, filled water bottle, whistle, first aid kit, sun protection, and trail food)
