2013 Quivira Council Pinewood Derby

This is a photo of my Dad when he was a member of the Boy Scouts.  Notice the family resemblance?

Encampment keeps getting better!  Next year, the Quivira Council Pinewood Derby will be at . . . Encampment on April 19-21, 2013 in Hutchinson at the Kansas State Fair Grounds!

Pinewood Derby is pretty exciting to me.  This year my car was super fast, and it looked neat.  This will be my second year entering, and I think that my dad has achieved a balance between mass, inertia, friction, and track length.  At least that’s what he says while polishing the wheels with 60,000 grit sandpaper. 

Rumor also has it that we’ll have the world’s tallest Pinewood Derby.  I’m not sure how that works, unless we’d be starting from the top of Mt. Everest?

Yeti Hunter: This Old Yeti

Rich the Scout is at it again!

This Scout may find me after all!

Registration Now Open, Plus Free Stuff

What a free T-shirt might look like, if it weren’t a drawing of a t-shirt. 

Drumroll, please!  Registration for Expedition Encampment 2013 is now open!

And you can do it right now.  Since you’re on the internet reading this, you can go here and register right now.

This is a large improvement over how we do it in the YSH (Yeti Scouts of the Himalayas). It would require ice, chisels, and a 271 mile hike with a 23,000 foot elevation change.  You, on the other hand, can go right here and get registered now!  No hiking. No endless hours of chiseling the names on ice blocks. None of that!

The other benefit is that if you are among the first 250 registered, you will receive a free special edition t-Shirt!  I do not believe they come in Yeti sizes, but they do come in most human sizes.
