Pack Pinewood Derby - 1/18, 1/19

The Pack 100 Pinewood Derby is scheduled for Sunday, January 19th with setup on Saturday, January 18th.  Setup on Saturday will begin at 2:00 PM (after All Saints' free lunch program).  Registration on Sunday will begin at 1:00 PM and racing will start with the Tiger den at 1:30 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 afternoon.

If you are available, please consider lending a hand on Saturday.  This is our first year in our new location and we'll need to figure out the best approach.  Likewise, tear-down will happen immediately after the races and the more hands, the faster it will go.

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 electronic devices please.  Parents are responsible for their youth at all times.  And remember, when signs go up, mouths close.

Note: Details on the Council Derby (held on Feb 1st during the Oakdale Mall show) will be available soon.
