My pack is in the process of planning a Raingutter Regatta. Does anyone have any suggestions on handing out awards? Is it better to have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards or for everyone to get a participation award, or both? Do the scouts seem to prefer trophies, medals, or ribbons? Or, are there other ideas of things that could be awarded... someone at the meeting suggested gift certificates, but we are exploring all options. Also, is it better to run the race as a pack, or have winners from each den? (I think we have close to 70 scouts in 6 dens) We want to recognize the winners without hurting the feelings of those who's boats didn't do as well.
