Cub Scouts Page 5 Greetings from Pack 19. March has been a busy month for our Scouts. On Saturday March 16th we held our annual Pinewood Derby. Scouts spent many hours carefully designing, building and painting their Derby cars. This event is a fun-filled time that teaches craftsmanship and sportsmanship. 95% of Pack 19 scouts participated. Morning races determined the winners in each of the 5 dens. The afternoon races used a double elimination bracket to determine the fastest cars among the whole pack. Along with first, second and third place awards each racer receives a special design certificate and Derby medal. First and second place winners will advance to the districtwide race on April 6th. Also on March 16th we celebrated a baby shower for Joshua Declan Echevarria, son of Daniel and Molly, and little brother to Wolf Scout Phoenix. Scouts have been selling Blue and Gold sausage, bacon and chicken products this month to help raise funds to purchase a new racetrack to benefit scouts for many years to come. March 30 & 31 scouts attended the Arkansas Gathering at Rogers Scout Reservation near Booneville, a time for trading trinkets, toys and gear, fellowship and outdoor adventure. Yours in Scouting, Justin Cates Wesley UMC Newsletter April 2019
