All crafts had to be built of solely cardboard, tape, string, glue and paper. Scouts were also able to decorate their sleds with paint of any of other type of decorations to make them stand out.The tape was used by Scouts on the bottom of their sleds to help it get down the slope more easily.Scouts could be disqualified for any use of lubricant on their sleds. The craft also could not be completely enclosed.The older Scouts (Boys 11-17) and Venture Units (Co-Ed 14-20) took on the hill first at a chilly 9:30 a.m. start.
