Start Your Engines! The 2018 Pinewood Derby is Upon Us

*UPDATED*

The most popular and longstanding Cub Scout tradition is just around the bend.  It’s time to start your planning.  All you need is a block of pine, some tools, a workbench and your boy – the perfect recipe for some holiday bonding.

Race Day is set for Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, January 24th at 6:30pm.

Impound and inspection by our top-tier team of Scrutineers is TO BE DETERMINED.

Rules must be followed with precision.  No Air Jacks, Hanford Devices or Gurney Flaps allowed.  Don’t risk a DNQ, DSQ, DNS or Meatball Flag.

For those who make it through the inspection gauntlet, Victory Lane is filled with opportunity.  1st, 2nd and 3rd fastest in each Den receives an award as do the top three Fastest-in-Pack.

However, speed isn’t everything.  Style counts too as scouts vote for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each of the following categories:

  • Best Design
  • Best Colors
  • Funniest Design
  • Most Unique Design
