The Pinewood Derby


January is an exciting time for young boys, because of their favorite scouting activity ever! This year was no exception! The boys have such a blast participating in the annual pinewood derby!
Jaxon even made his own car, pretty much all by himself, and was allowed to race, even though he isn't an official scout yet! They had a really great time, and all the kids were really great sports! These kids are pretty awesome, and I have actually began to love being the den leader~ who'd have thought that would happen??? :)
Our pack. Traeden ended up getting 3rd place over-all. Jaxon's car raced well and won a few times, but he didn't place. I'm sure next year will be better, when dad gives him a little more help!
