Cub Scouts welcome Kendall, Holley elementary kids for model boat race on May 16

Press Release, Cub Scout Pack 3094 in Kendall

KENDALL – On Saturday, May 16 at 10 a.m., Cub Scout Pack 3094 will host a community-wide family event, opening participation to Kendall and Holley Elementary School students.

Families will design, build, and race small tamarin-style sail boats to race down rain gutters. The Pack is collecting registrants now to prepare boat kits for a group building night on Thursday May 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kendall Methodist Church.

On race day, in a double-elimination style competition, children will race at least twice to compete for the first, second and third place medal.

John Heeks, Kendall Cub Master, says the Pack is looking for new members and believes events like the Regatta bring the community together for fun, outdoor learning – a cornerstone of Scout programming.

“The (Rain Gutter) Regatta is one of my family’s favorite Cub Scout events,” said Heeks.

He adds that the Pack hopes to bring the neighboring townships’ children together.

Heeks and his son joined Cub Scouts in 2024. Heeks took over the role of Cub Master in 2025 where he and Den Leaders have led the Pack in other events like group Campouts and the beloved Pinewood Derby.
