Pinewood Derby

Last night was Bucko's first Pinewood Derby.  He and PC picked a "Flash" theme, though really they just liked the look of the lightning bolt on the car, not really "Flash" per se.  They painted it red and got it all ready.  Bucko also received his first progress bead toward his Wolf badge and 3 belt loops: music, science, and good manners.  PC was hoping Bucko's car would win a few runs at least, and he wasn't disappointed.  Here's his first race. (He's in lane one, in first place.)

Not bad, eh?  Yeah, he actually ended up placing 3rd overall!  They also gave him the "Most Electric" award and the Cub Master said he thought it was the "Flashiest." ;) 
We all had fun and I even made these yummy Cookies 'n Cream Cheesecakes for the dessert table.  You can find the recipe here.

 One of the den leaders made nice wooden plaques for first, second, and third places.  He put a bracket on there so you can mount your car.  I'll have to take a picture when we get the car mounted.
