Pinewood Derby
Start your engines... it's Pinewood Derby Season!
Are you a first time racer, check out our Pinewood Derby Clinic, TRICKS AND TIPS VIDEO. Watching it will answer most questions you have about designing your winning car.
VERY IMPORTANT - Please click here for the Rules & Regulations that cover both car and race.
The two-page pdf is from Pack 19 and Tamanend District for use while designing and building your car. Failure to meet the Pinewood Derby Race Car Design Requirements will result in disqualification.
CAR CUTTING AND Q&A NIGHT:
Friday, 2/9 at 6:30-7:30pm in Fellowship Hall, United Methodist Church.
If you need help cutting your cars shape, redrilling your axle slot, or learn how to install wheels, etc., we'll have the tools available. This is a good time to stop by for a chance to talk to the Pinewood Pros!
Please have your design ready and sketched on your car. We still have extra cars for $6.00, available for purchase at Car Cutting night or earlier if requested.
PINEWOOD DERBY DAY:
Saturday, 3/9 (approx. 9am - 1pm) in Fellowship Hall, United Methodist Church.
The exact schedule with den times will be released as we get a little closer. AOL's will begin at 9:00am and we move down in rank to the Lions. The den's races are followed by runoffs for a Pack Championship.
Trophies will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in dens and for a Pack Championship.
The “Most Righteous Ride” is a Pack tradition, and voted on within each den. Maybe you weren’t the fastest car, but you can earn a trophy for the most awesome looking one!
New this year... a race just for Siblings (non-scouts). Siblings have a chance to win a 1st place trophy as well as a "Most Righteous Ride" award. Make sure you get your Car Kit for just $6.00.
Also new this year... the last race of the day is for Parents/Adults & Leaders. The winner of the (PAL) race will receive bragging rights for about 4-1/2 minutes. Pick up your Car Kit for $6.00.
TAMANEND DISTRICT RACE DAY
Saturday, 3/23 at Oxford Valley Mall (time TBD).
Cub Scouts from our Tamanend District who have ranked within the top 3 of their den, are invited to participate in the exciting Tamanend District level Pinewood Derby.
