Dad admitted to taking his car to work and doing it there, but work was a major car production facility so Dad had access to the best paints and design software...and the car looked it. What does the boy get out of that?
Solved the problem by having a Pinewood work meeting night where leaders brought tools in to help the boys with cars (meaning, they could see the boys involved with the process  ) and having a "Parent Division" on race day (with the entry fee to buy and race a car as a pack fundraiser. Darn effective fundraiser.) |
Brilliant! I hope some others are inspired by this creative solution!
