    • Always do your best

    • Respect the judges
    • End with a handshake
  2. Ask Cub Scouts to share some examples of how they’ve shown good sportsmanship in an activity or competition.
  3. Discuss with scouts what it should look like if the race does not go their way.
    • Notice: “I know your face looks like this and it seems like you are upset about the race. It is hard when we lose a race, especially with all the hard work we put into making the vehicle”
    • Calm: “Take a breath and Relax”
    • Remind yourself this is for fun not for winning
    • Feel proud of progress and work done not of “winning”
