Our Pinewood Derby was a few weeks ago. During the committee meeting a week prior we discussed talking to our boys about 'its not about who wins or loses, but coming together as a pack and having fun'. I kept my true opinions to myself. Being an Assistant Den Leader for a short time on only attenting my 3rd committee meeting I didnt feel totally comfortable expressing my feelings. But my feelings turned into reality. I saw half the boys either crying or really upset. We are stressing having fun. But the boys want to win. The committee can preach 'fun' but I know the each of us secretly wanted each of our own boys to win. BTW.. By son came in 1st in his den. So I am not a disgruntled father.
