Scouts Canada will be holding its annual Kub Kar Races in Boitanio Mall this Saturday, March 29.
The races take place in the former Shoe Warehouse location.
The Beavers will be racing their Beaver Buggies. The Cubs will be racing their Kub Cars. Scouts will be racing their Scout Trucks.
The public are encouraged to come out and watch the races which begin at noon, say organizers.
Started in 1978, the Kub Kar program allows Cub Scouts (ages 8-10) to explore their creativity by designing and building their own Kars and, with the assistance of mentors, learn how to maximize Kar speed while meeting the design requirements.
Through Kub Kar rallies, youth have the opportunity meet new friends, gain a sense of achievement and have fun as they race their Kars against youth from the Cub Scout Packs in the surrounding area.
Building on the success of the Kub Kar program, Beaver Buggies were later introduced to provide Beaver Scouts (ages 5-7) with the opportunity to develop the same skills. Scouts Canada, the country’s leading youth organization, has more than 100,000 members nationwide representing every faith and culture.
Scouts Canada groups offer programming in more than 19 languages reflecting Canada’s multicultural landscape and communities. Kids in Scouts have fun adventures discovering new things and experiences they wouldn’t discover elsewhere.
Along the way, they develop into capable, confident and well-rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world. For tens of thousands of children and youth across Canada, Scouts is the start of something great. For more information visit Scouts.ca
