This is the new event for Cub Scout Bike Rodeo Challenge V. It is designed to quiz the boys on Safety, give them a chance to ride their bikes in races, and test their memory skills. The events will hand out points, but in reality they are worthless except for bragging rights. No official scores will be kept or prizes awarded. It's all for the fun of it.

up.
