Pack 662 Rain Gutter Regatta
2025-07-13 13:00 - 16:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Moose Lodge, 25721 JESMOND DENE RD, ESCONDIDO, CA, 92026, United States
🛠️ Pack 662 Rain Gutter Regatta Guide
Welcome to Pack 662’s First Annual Rain Gutter Regatta! This guide has everything you need to prepare your Scout for race day—from boat building tips to what to bring, rules, and more. Whether you’re new to Scouting or just new to the Regatta, we’ve got you covered.

📅 Event Details

Date: Sunday, July 13, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Location: Moose Lodge, Escondido
Address: 25721 Jesmond Dene Rd, Escondido, CA

⚓ What Is the Rain Gutter Regatta?
The Rain Gutter Regatta is a classic Cub Scout event where Scouts build, decorate, and race small sailboats down water-filled rain gutters using only their own breath to propel the boat. It’s fast-paced, silly, splashy fun!
If you’re unfamiliar with how the boat race works, during the Rain Gutter Regatta, sailboats are raced down a length of water-filled rain gutters, powered by the Scout blowing into the sail through a soda straw. Each Scout races in several heats, and the fastest time determines the winner. The best technique for winning is to practice blowing hard in a small, concentrated area. The last thing you’ll want to do is make yourself lightheaded by blowing the sails too hard and too often without catching your breath!
Practice testing your sailboat at a pond or pool before the race, concentrating on the airflow, or taking deep breaths to maximize air output. If you want to practice in the backyard or host your race with friends any time of year, you can purchase a Raingutter Regatta Inflatable Raceway. It’s great for the official Rain Gutter Regatta, but you can have this raceway ready in just five minutes to create some instant fun anytime and anywhere! Bring the raceway, boats, and friends with you, inflate the course, and you’re ready to go!

🧳 What to Bring

Your Scout’s Regatta Boat (pre-built and ready to go)
Camping Chairs for your group
Towel (boats splash and water spills happen)
Water bottle – stay hydrated
Hat or sunscreen if outdoors
