Raingutter Regatta

Pack 1592's annual Raingutter Regatta.  Minecraft has been all the rage this year and it's cool to see the boats pickup the themes from what's in pop culture at the time.

Ethan, Tyler, Jimmie, Wyatt and Nate ready at their first station.

Take the water gun and shoot the ducks to the other side of the pond, while your competition does the same.  

Wyatt has been learning from the SWAT team and was putting his tactical skills to use.

Jimmy and his boat

Tried a different style boat this year.  He had a blast.

In this station, they had to carry a leaky bucket of water, to a larger bucket and fill it in a relay race.

Fairly easy to run back with the empty bucket

Wyatt having a hard time with the leaky bucket.

Nate's boat almost to the finish line.

Alyssa joined us for the second time.  Laughed pretty good when one of the scout leaders asked her who her brother was.  She had the best expression on her face as she struggled to answer.

The sponge throw is a popular station, I decided to ham it up a bit and tease the kids from behind my protection.

Tug o war was great too.  The adults dropped the rope once, but otherwise it was a close race.

Nate and his boat won first place for the fastest boat.  He won by a few hundredths of a second.

Nate went with an Angry Bird themed boat.  This one was a real winner.

The event ends with a huge water balloon fight.  Here's our ammunition being prepped for the fight.
