Cub Scout Packs from the District Capital Area including Llano, Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Mason and Blanco gathered at Robinson Park on Saturday, August 10th for the annual Raingutter Regatta. This was the Llano Cub Scout’s first time hosting the yearly event, which is the culmination of the summer program.
The Regatta was announced in June and each Pack in the district began building their boats during meetings. The boats are made from an official Cub Scout kit, and the key to success is practicing blowing the sails through a straw. There were multiple heats, and the Scouts who maneuvered their boats down the water-filled track the fastest went on to race for a gold or silver medal.
Junior High Scouts were on hand to assist Cub Master Matt Parisher and Assistant Cub Masters Laura Bibb and Roxanne Parisher with the event, which included other team building activities like snap rockets and magnet fishing. Cub Scouts can earn “belt loops” by completing these activities and participating in the Regatta.
