NASCAR

The Las Vegas Area Council was fortunate enough to have Scott Legasse Jr. and his race team come to the office and let the kids see a real race care.  Scott provided opportunities for youth to take pictures with him in front of the actual car that raced in the Nationwide NASCAR race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Scouters Cup


2013 marked the second annual Scouters Cup for the Las Vegas Area Council.  Close to 100 skiers participated in this NASTAR timed race event.  It was a beautiful day at the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort to hit the slopes.  Teams of 4 raced down the mountain in an effort to see who
could record the best time. This year we enjoyed the company of several World Cup and Olympic skiers who participated.
