Space Derby

Daniel did another Cub Scout Activity. He had to make a Space Derby and it was his first time creating one.

I also remembered during the last Pinewood Derby that siblings or parents can also join the race as guests so I bought one for Daryl.

Here's the box of the Space Derby kit.

Inside the kit, there are rubberbands, two wooden blocks with grooves on it, propeller parts, plastic boards for the wings and stickers

I've glued the wooden blocks together and shown Daniel to file the blocks to make it round.

I told him to use this file to be shape the wood block.

When the wood turned somewhat round. I gave two sandpaper to Daniel (rough and medium grit) and asked him to use it to smoothen the block.

He wanted his Space Derby to be a magic wand so he painted it black.

Here's the other Space Derby that I created for Daryl and he's painting it red (his favorite color).

Daryl's Space Derby with some paint on it.

I added the top part (white part) to both of the Space Derby's because I have to use a sharp knife. I also assembled the parts and here's Daryl's Space Derby.

Here's Daniel's Space Derby and he added a #9 sticker.

The Space Derby is a fun Cub Scouting activity. There were several interesting designs created by the Cub Scouts. Daniel received a patch for joining the event.
