News and Events about 1st New Maryland Scouting
On Monday, February 13th, we will be cutting out our Kub Kars. We have some resources you can use to help decide what kind of kar you want to build.
The design sheet should be used to get your shape down on paper before drawing it on the block. We are cutting out the kars on Monday night. If you can cut out the kar at home then that's great! Bring the kar all cut out and ready to sand on Monday. We kept the nails and wheels, you will get those next week.
Please note, this is the only time we will be able to cut out the kar.
You can also look at the booklet of kub kar ideas from the Boy Scouts of America. Note do not trace from that sheet. It is American and their rules are much different than ours. You cannot alter the wheelbase on our kars, and their block is a different size. This booklet is for ideas only.
You can be as creative as you want!. You can build up on the kar and make it taller, use lego men on it if you want, etc. If you decide to add weights, please note the bottom of the kar clearance on the design sheet. Also, if you add weights, please note we may have to take some off, so remember that 142 grams is the maximum weight.
Don't paint your kar yet if you do get it cut out, as we'll talk to you about painting ideas and what to be careful of when doing so.
Remember, the goal of this is for your Cub Scout to Do their best, and to have fun!
