Apparently the timing was also right as there is a Pinewood derby next week
I helped the young people there as much as I could with paint, types of paint, ways to paint and how to use a couple of the different brushes and with a few scouts, how to use the airbrush on a very basic level.
The area troop leader showed up fresh from a car shaping event that apparently had taken place earlier that day.
Apparently some packs have races for family members and parents after the scouts have their race so I had several sisters of scouts painting cars.
There was even a mother who was making a car simply because she never had before and as one son had moved up into the boy Scouts and her other son would be doing the same this soon, this was the last year of cub scouts. After the event I helped her find a gloss coat for her car and more importantly some shadow boxes so she could display all her sons Cub Scout badges and thing as she has lots of fond memories of the scouting experience.
I am going to add a Sunday event in Orange (January 22th) next week as apparently the YMCA Indian Princesses will be hosting a pinewood derby that is a very large event.
Unfortunately I was too busy to be able to take pictures.
Next week Paint up event will be in Aliso Viejo.
