Seventh grade Cadette Girl Scouts from Colorado Springs, Abigail Heiser, Cheyenne Baratti, and Erin Ruane organized and executed a girls only Powder Puff Derby, based on the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby. To prove that girls can do anything that boys can do, the girls created a family-oriented event with Fathers and Daughters working together. Like with Girl Scouts, the event built confidence and also building skill and gave the participants a feeling of personal achievement and taught good sportsmanship.
