Raingutter Regatta
Every other year, the Cub Scouts in Pack 61 get a chance to compete in the Raingutter Regatta.
Scouts make a small lightweight sail boat using a kit supplied by the pack, then race their boats against each other. The boats are propelled through the water by blowing on the sail.
Build, Blow, Race
A simple boat kit becomes a fast, creative race-day design.
Every other year, the Cub Scouts in Pack 61 get a chance to compete in the Raingutter Regatta. Scouts build small lightweight sail boats using kits supplied by the pack, then race them head-to-head.
The boats move through the water by blowing on the sail.
This is a hands-on activity where scouts can experiment with design, balance, and a little race-day strategy.
