Kayak Build Day #1

Kayak Build Registration Deadline is Monday, April 20, 2024.  

All scouts from Troop 37 and Troop 201 who are interested in building a kayak should register for this event.  We may limit the number of registrants due to the limited number of adults who have volunteered to support the build.  Currently, we are limiting the build to the first 20 scouts who register and pay the registration fee.  If more adults volunteer to support the Build, we will increase the number of scouts who can participate.

Kayak Build Day 1:  this is the first half day for the new scouts to build their kayaks. They cut out the center of the spreaders, round the paddle blades, round the ends of all runners and sand the ends of the poles. 

** SCOUTS WHO WANT TO BUILD A KAYAK MUST REGISTER FOR KAYAK BUILD DAY 1.**  (No need to register for Kayak Build Day 2, though both days required to participate and build).  Each scout needs to bring an adult to work with them on each of the Build Days; however, the adult should not register.

This is a great event for new Scouts (incoming Scouts are strongly encouraged to build in their first year), but it is open to any Scout wanting to build a kayak (or another kayak).

Also, we need some adults who would like to assist the Kayak Build planning and help on the actual days.  And, if you can help with materials preparation, please register for the Kayak Kut (separate event: Saturday, April 15).  

Material costs have increased over the past year; however, we will be holding the price at $350.  The registration fee covers lumber, canvas, contact cement, and hardware.  We will provide more information as we go; you will be helped through the entire process.
