Ammon is a good-looking Webelo Scout. He participated in his 3rd and final Pinewood Derby in January. His car was flaming hot!
There were 10 entries in the derby this year, representing scounts from two local troops. He won the award of "most colorful paint job". 
The derby is such a fun and exciting event for the boys! They anticipate it for weeks! They are all friends...which makes the race against each other even more competitive! 
Ammon's car did fairly well, but he couldn't beat the cars made by either set of twins; he even tried running it backwards down the track to see if that would make a difference.
He was sad when the activity ended, because he knew his derby days were done. After we got home, he said he wants to keep making the cars every year even if he's no longer in cub scouts! He has loved building and racing the cars! He's always chosen the car's design and the paint colors and pattern. He likes seeing his mental image of the car become real! And he loves racing against his friends; it is so thrilling to watch the cars speed down the short track! The Pinewood Derby has been his favorite scouting activity!
