Raingutter Boat

This event was originally scheduled on Novemebr 15 at Wesley and was re-scheduled due to a snow storm.

Description

The Raingutter Regatta is a race event. Each Scout makes a boat at home using the official kit. Then, at the event,the Scouts race in pairs, with each Scout blowing his boat along his own channel. Our race this year will be held in Fellowship Hall at Epworth United Methodist Church.

In Advance

  1. Buy the Kit - Each Scout needs a Raingutter Regatta Racing Trimaran Kit. You can purchase one from the Pack for $6, or you can get it on-line or at the places you buy Scout Stuff.
  2. Build the Boat - The trimaran kit is very simple, so a Scout should be able to do most of the building himself. Be sure to leave time for glue to dry and then paint to go on and dry. Don't plan to have your Scout build and decorate his boat on the day of the race or even the day before.

The Day Before

We will need some help to set up for the event at Epworth the night before (Dec 12, 6:30-7:30)).

Race Day

  • All Scouts will race together in the first heat (not exclusively against members of the same den).
  • Late arrivals will be added into the race up to the end of the first heat.
  • Medals will be given for the first, second and third place winners.
