August 9th – Recycled Raingutter Regata at Due West Pavilion (3:00-4:00pm)

Set sail for one of our favorite Cub Scout traditions — the Recycled Raingutter Regatta! Scouts will race their handmade recycled boats down the raingutters using only wind power.

Grab some recycled materials and get creative! Design and build a boat or raft with a sail and prepare to race. Boats should be newly built for the current Cub Scout year.

Boat Guidelines

• Maximum boat size: 8” long x 5” wide
• Mast height may not exceed 7” above the deck
• Boats must include a sail
• No motors or mechanical propulsion allowed
• Boats are powered only by blowing through a drinking straw
• Decorations like paint, stickers, decals, and LEGO® figures are welcome and encouraged in the spirit of Scouting

Helpful Tips

• Add a rudder to help your boat sail straight
• Test your boat at home in the bathtub before race day
• Lightweight materials usually work best

Race Rules

• Two scouts will race head-to-head at a time. Boats will begin at the starting line with the back of the boat touching the end of the gutter. Scouts may only propel their boats by blowing through a straw onto the sail.
• Hands and straws may NOT touch or push the boat during the race.

Start gathering your recycled supplies now and get ready for an afternoon of creativity, friendly competition, and FUN!
