What is Cub-anapolis you Say? Well it’s a great event to promote Sportsmanship, Creativity, Imagination and a whole lot of FUN!

First each Cub and his parent will need to build a cardboard box car, yes parents as well you didn’t think this was just for the kids did you? Use your imaginations the possibilities are endless.

Second get your pit crew together each cub needs 1 Family Member for their pit crew. For the Parent race, if you wish to participate, you will switch during the parent races and the Cub will then become the pit crew.

Third join us on February 9, 2008 at St John Baptist De La Salle Church Field to race your car around the obstacle course, 2 laps. After the first lap you will need to come into the pit area to change your tires, wash those windshields, take a photo and re-fuel.

Along the way you may encounter certain obstacles to overcome such as Falling rocks, 1 mile an hour zone, you got a flat, Bumpy road ahead and many more!

All participants will receive a patch and each pack will receive a Participation Ribbon. Ribbons will not be given out for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, but rather for Best Designing of Cars. (There will be different categories)

RULES & PROCEDURES

Car Design and Decoration:

Each scout and parent should fabricate a car from a cardboard box big enough for him (the driver) to stand in and run around with. The car can be decorated and shaped in any manner, and cardboard or other lightweight accessories may be added if desired. Crayons, markers, spray paint, or even old house paint may be used. Use of scrap cardboard and decoration supplies is encouraged. Keep the car well balanced so it does not tip forward or drag back, and keep it as light as possible. However, there is no need to spend a lot of money since this is just meant to be a fun race, and the “car” will likely be “totaled” by the end of the day or at least suffer a fender bender! Copier paper boxes are a reasonable size, especially for younger boys. The smaller the car, the easier a child can maneuver through the course. However, a larger car affords more protection from bumping into other cars and discouraging other cars from passing.

Race Rules:

• The boys will race in heats with other boys from their same grade. Each racer will be assigned a number at check-in. The race will involve one lap through the course to the required pit stop, followed by another lap to the finish line. Each racer must successfully negotiate every obstacle.
  
• ALL RACERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A BICYCLE HELMET OR HAT. During the race each racer must also wear goggles or sunglasses, sneakers with laces (no Velcro), and socks that extend above the ankle. Each racer must also carry a comb with him.
  
• The pit stop will require the following operations (no particular order, can be simultaneous)
  
• Clean Windshield (performed by pit crew only): take sunglasses or goggles off, wipe clean with a towel, put sunglasses or goggles back on.
• Change Tires (performed by pit crew only) first untie and then remove shoes, turn socks inside out, put socks and shoes back on and retie shoes. DRIVERS MUST HAVE LACE-UP SHOES – NO    VELCRO! Socks must extend at least one inch above ankle.
