What is the Pinewood Derby?
 
 
The pinewood derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scouting.

It almost goes without saying. 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. Pack 200 runs a pinewood derby every year at our January Pack meeting. Every boy can design and build his own "grand prix" car to enter in the race.

 
 
Rules

Each family that competes in a Cub Scout derby follows a set of simple, easy rules. The winners get prizes, and every boy is recognized for taking part. Always remember that in Cub Scouting, it's more important to "Do Your Best" than to come in first. The big thing about a derby isn't the competition or the prizes. It's the fun you and your family will have.

You can find more about derbies in the Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Guidebook available at the Keystone Area Council Scout shop in Mechanicsburg or online at www.scoutstuff.org.
