What is Recycled Raingutter Regatta?

The RECYCLED RAINGUTTER REGATTA is a parent-scout activity in which scouts build boats from previously-used materials and then race them against other Scouts in the District. Parents should feel free to give guidance and minimal assistance, appropriate to the age of your Scout, as they build their Recycled Regatta boat. The younger scouts may need more assistance, whereas, the older Scouts may not need any. This is a chance for you and your scout to work together building their boat and to enjoy the friendly competition with their peers.

See the attached document for more information on the event.

Who can participate?

The competition is open to any youth of Cub Scout age.

All participants will race in a double elimination tournament within the following den/grade groups: Lion/Tiger (grades k-1), Wolf/Bear (grades 2-3), and Webelo/Arrow of Lights (grades 4-5).

Each participant may enter one boat in the competition. The boat must have been built during the current scouting year.

How and when are the boats built?

There will be a boat building activity the day of the races. Scouts may skip the building activity and build their boats at home. See Boat Building Guidelines for suggestions and size requirements before starting your build.
