Adventure 3: The Cardboard Regatta

The third adventure in our Scout RPG series. It's time for the camp's annual Cardboard Regatta — can your scouts design a boat that actually floats?

#RPG Adventure#Cub Scouts#Engineering#STEM Competition

The setup

The camp’s annual Cardboard Regatta is here, and your scouts must design, build, and race a boat made of cardboard. Will it glide across the water — or sink in a glorious splash? Either way, it’s an engineering lesson they’ll remember.

What scouts practice

Engineering design — plan, build, test, improve.
Physics, gently — buoyancy, balance, and what makes things float.
Resilience — iterating after a leaky first attempt.

Running it

Uses the Scout Adventure RPG d10 system. A great capstone to the adventure collection. Self-contained and completable in a single ~1-hour session.
