Pack Pinewood Derby

By now, all Cubs should have received their Pinewood Derby Car Kit from the Pack.  If not, they will be on your folder at the next den meeting.  The Pack 100 Pinewood Derby is scheduled for Monday, January 16th (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day).  Registration begins at 4:30 PM and racing begins with the Tiger den at 5:00 PM.  Other dens will follow in order (Wolves, Bears, Webelos I, Webelos II) afterwards.  There will be a special race for non-scout siblings at the end of the evening.

Help with set up is needed beginning at NOON.  If you are available, please consider lending a hand.  Likewise, tear-down will be around 8 PM and adult assistance is requested.

Pizza and drinks will be available for purchase during the derby.

Car building information is available at the Pack pinewood page and the official BSA site.  All cars must meet BSA specs or the car CANNOT run.  If you need help with ideas or building tips, check Google or YouTube. In addition to the Den awards, there will be a Best Original Design award.

Conduct: Please no running, unsportsmanlike-conduct or fooling around.  We will have many guests and need to be safe for all in attendance.  There will be non-race activities such as a matchbox track and a coloring table.  No ball playing or electronic devices please.  Parents are responsible for their youth at all times.  And remember, when signs go up, mouths close.  We will be racing cars in the gymnasium and it can get quite loud in there.
