The pinewood derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their families. Then they race the cars in competition. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. Most packs have a pinewood derby every year. It can be run indoors or outdoors. Every boy can design and build his own "grand prix" car to enter in the race.
If you haven't been around for a Pack 1576 Pinewood Derby you in are in for a treat. It is the highlight of the year for adults and children alike. The competition is fierce, especially amongst the fathers. This is a great event that you definitely want to be a part of. Here is some information you are going to want to know.
