Since it's a cub scout event the boys started with the Flag Ceremony and a prayer. Each boy received his score card and was assigned a team (by color). Our boys were on the yellow team.
I'm not sure how they divided things up but the softball throw was a random event done at the beginning while everyone was gathering and being assigned teams. If you arrived late you just ran over in between events and did it when you could. I don't have any pictures of the softball throw.The first event for the yellow team was the craft table. There were a bunch of supplies on the table and you made something. There were scores and awards, just supplies to enjoy.
After crafts we moved to the long jump event. The boys did very well. I didn't get any good pictures because I was trying a new feature and it just didn't work out. But I did get a couple of stills. Here Donovan just landed...
Aleky is preparing for his jump...
After the long jump we rotated to the sit-ups. The judges at this even requred the boys to do real sit-ups to count. Even with this tight restriction the boys did very well.
After the sit-ups we moved to the 50-yard dash. This was the boys favorite event. I think each boy ran the event at least 6 times. I should have caught the summer-saults version as the boys rolled down the grass.
Michael is in mid-celebration, just having beaten one of the cub scouts in his race.
The final event of the day was the push-ups. The boys really put in their all. Donovan was brave enough to go in the first heat. The other 5 boys went in the second heat. This one was too cute to pass up so we caught it (at least a portion of it) on video.
