Car kits were given out at
the Blue & Gold dinner; if you didn't get yours, check with your den leader.
In addition, your den leader should have weights and decals for each den.
There will be a special photo
opportunity, so everyone (or at least every den) should bring a camera.
Remember - the main point of this
event is designing and building the car, learning craftsmanship
and having fun - it is NOT about winning! The Cub
Scout should do as much of the work as he can, and the design should be
appropriate to his age and skill level. Right-click

Journal on over-involved dads.
