Pinewood Derby
Next scouting event: The Pinewood Derby.
Silas designed his own car and did a fine job.
On race day, each car is weighed and measured; there's a seven-page design rulebook that might strike a novice parent as overkill.
The fastest cars took the course in just under 2.2 seconds; the slowest in 2.4 seconds.
Silas' ran around 2.3, the middle of the pack.
Each car competes in six heats, and the three cars with the best average time advance to a regional competition.
The Scouts do a good job emphasizing "do your best" rather than "come in first." Silas had a ball.
