Today we went to the Ancient City just outside of Bangkok for the cub scouts "Amazing Race". The event was modeled after the show of the same name, and consisted of scouts and their families finding monuments and completing tasks based on clues provided.
The event was a lot of fun. One issue that we experienced involved Aleena's bike seat on my bike. A screw had come loose and fallen off. The other screw did an adequate job keeping her seat attached, but the missing screw allowed a slight swaying which caused a support rod to touch my rear tire at times. This had the same effect as lightly applying the rear brake at random interval. That was pretty frustrating.
The park is pretty big, but we only got off track a few times. Those mainly involved Jacob riding ahead of us as fast as possible with little idea of where he was going.
There was one accident that required hospitalization. The sister of one of Jacob's den mates cut her knee to the point where she needed first aid. Megan, my assistant den leader from last year who moved on to some much more important role, is a nurse and patched the injured rider up. As a precaution, the family decided to take her to the hospital to more thoroughly clean and treat the wound. Who knew that scouting was a combat sport?
