Swift Current's Group 2 Scouts were in the Swift Current Mall over the weekend, showcasing craftsmanship, creativeness, and competition.

The group's Cub Scouts were competing in their annual Kub Kar Rally, racing wooden cars that they had built at camp.

ey have to get, so we get together and weigh everything at one point, and make sure everyone at least meets that weight. We've got everything from boats, to Lego cars, all sorts of stuff that the kids created with the wood, so it has been a lot of fun."

Each car had to be carved out of a block of wood, but room for creative licence was given.

"A lot of creativity, we encourage the creativity, we want to see something different, not just the plain car, we want to see a variety of ideas. This year they worked all together, which you expect more cars to be similar, but there weren't, we have 17 Cubs here, and basically, 17 different designs, so it's really cool the creativity each Cub decided to put into their car."

The entire troop, other than two members, were in attendance to compete, with trophies handed out in the categories of Straight Line, Stopping on the Spot, Obstacle Course, Workmanship, and Speed.
