The Raingutter Regatta is a Cub Scout event that involves building and racing miniature boats. To prepare for this event, the Scout Shop has compiled a list of tips for building a Rain Gutter Regatta for Cub Scouts. The rules for the event are fairly simple, and the boys build boats from standard BSA kits supplied by the pack. To host a raingutter regatta using recycled materials, follow the assembly directions.
To build a Rain Gutter Regatta, follow these steps:
1. Use the official Raingutter Regatta racing kit.
2. Practice blowing the sails.
3. Make sure your boat doesn’t break the rules.
4. Don’t use water-based paints.
5. Use DecoArt paint, Sharpies, and Beacon Adhesives for your boats.
To ensure safety, ask an adult to help with tools you haven’t used before. A winning raingutter racer stays on an even keel, moves in a straight line, and keeps the bow.
By following these tips, you can help your Cub Scouts prepare for the fun-fueled boat racing event. Remember to follow the assembly directions and paint your boats before they race.
In summary, the Raingutter Regatta is a fun and educational event for Cub Scouts, and these tips can help you build a Rain Gutter Regatta using recycled materials.
