Pinewood Derby
This week was a big week for Jayden at Scouts. He advanced to Bears, received his Wolf badge and 3 arrow points, and competed in the Pinewood Derby. This was his second year doing the derby. Last year we didn't have a clue how to build a derby car, so Jayden basically got last place in all the races. We decided to do our research and build him a better car this year. We bought a magazine with all the secrets of building a winning car and we worked on it last week. This years race was so much better than last year! HE GOT FIRST PLACE! He was so excited! There were about 15 other cars there and they had an electronic sensor to measure the speed of the cars. If Jayden's car was built to scale, it would have gone 215 MPH!

Awesome! That's fun for him. It's weird to think of entering the scouting world, but I guess we'll be there too before I know it!
