I need award ideas!

Post by 2kids10horses »

I have about 25 Cubs and Tigers in my Pack. I want every kid who participates to take home some award. A trophy or ribbon or something.

So, I have enough participation ribbons for each kid.

But, I want the Scout to feel like he's "won" something, so I thought we could make up categories like, "Most Realistic", "Fastest Looking", "Sleakest", "Best use of Color", etc. and write them on the ribbons.

My son had the second slowest car in the Pack as a Tiger. But our rough cut car with the wobbly wheels got "Most Creative", and he still remembers that!

So, bombard me with Categories so we won't have to think 'em up under pressure!

And, if there's already a thread like this, just point me to it!

Thanks in advance!

2kids10horses... and the goat is limping. Don't know why. The vet is coming out to pull Coggins and give rabies shots on Friday. I'll have him look at her.

In addition, "Mean Machine" has always been one my favorites.

Thanks, Cory, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I dunno why I couldn't find it.

There is an auction on Ebay for a cd with all kinds of awards that can be printed out for pinewood derbys. This might be what you're looking for. "The Big Book of Pinewood and Space Derby Awards" is the auction title.

Oh my!

How big of a book can that be?

Good grief! They'll sell ANYTHING on ebay! LOL!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love ebay. But sometimes it gets ridiculous!

I'll check out the auction, tho. Just for grins! Thanks!

Here are some additional ideas:
Best Design
Best Fuel Economy (slowest car)
Best Sanding
Best Vehicle Not A Car
Best Wedge Shape
Coolest Looking
Fastest Car In The Den
I Did It Myself Award
Judge's Favorite
Most Creative Use of Material
Best Scouting Theme
Most Unique

We also saw one Pack that had impounded the cars and therefore had some time to study them. They made up the award names as they were inspired by looking at them.

:D

I bought some Derby awards and thought I'd share...

I got a bunch of gold, silver and bronze derby medals for $1 - $2 each and a few $4 trophies from the http://www.CrownAwards.com web site. My husband found it on Google.

The package showed up in 3 days, and the kids loved wearing the medals!
