Jackson recently became a Tiger Scout and is having a blast. He has wonderful Tiger Den leaders and the Pack is very well organized. We're so happy we found a good fit for him. Today was Jackson's first Pinewood Derby race. His Pack is the largest in all of Southern Nevada, so due to time constraints he only raced against other Tigers. Out of 20+ Tigers, he placed 4th in the Derby. Way to go Jackson! What makes it even more awesome is that Mom was the one who helped build the Derby car this year. Way to go Mom! There were three heats (three different lanes) and Jackson came in first in all of his heats. His final ranking was determined by race times.

Just being silly!

After the race was over he was awarded his participation certificate. They announced the top 4 racers, but only handed out ribbons for the top 3. We're just happy he was in the top 4. A few days before the race I sat down with Jackson and had a heart to heart talk with him about sportsmanship and that in all likelihood his car would lose. 4th place may not be #1, but we definitely feel like winners today!
