I've been a Scout leader for 12 years. I was reluctant to join (I wasn't a Scout as a youth) but it is a decision I do not regret.
I remember we had the soap box derby. They basically gave you a small block of wood, and you had to make it into a car and race it on a ramp.
All the other guys made cars. I decided to make mine as a covered wagon type thing, with wheels, and little plastic horses on the front.
I got third out of about ten guys, but got the most creative and best design awards!
My parents were so proud. Brings tears to my eyes.
Mom, dad, I love ya and miss ya!
