Gavin had his 1st ever Pinewood Derby this past week! He had spent the past 2 weeks getting his car ready for the big day.
First we needed to do the pack meeting awards. Gavin got his awards from the Scout Jamboral that was in September celebrating 100 years of scouting.
He's doing really well in scouts. He enjoys doing his achievements and looks forward to den meetings every Wednesday. All he needs to do is to participate in an outdoor flag ceremony and then he will have earned his WOLF!
The 18 cars participating in the 2011 Pinewood Derby!
Gavin and some friends all lined up waiting for the race to begin!
During C-3PO's (Gavin's car) first run the car didn't even make it across the finish line! Sad day. So we fixed that by sending the car down backwards and then he made it across....in last place. lol
Here was another C-3PO run and this time he didn't come in last place! 3rd!! Booya!
Overall, Gavin's car didn't make it into the finals for speed, but he did win a 3rd place trophy for design and the Best Paint Job award. Most important, he had a really fun time and has already learned what to do for next year to have a better finish!
And the dessert treats were just to die for cute! Gavin's scout leaders are just amazing all around!

The car looks awesome! And that dessert is way cool. We didn't have any style judging going on that I could tell, bummer, because that's half the fun and coolness of the cars!
