IMPORTANT Pinewood Derby Info

The Derby is almost here!

(at the Social Level)
Friday Weigh-in 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Sunday Weigh-in 12:30pm - 1:30pm
Sunday Pack Meeting/Pinewood Derby 2pm

Notes:

  • After weigh-in, cars must stay in the Social Level
  • Snacks will be provided during the races
  • Scouts will race within each group (e.g. Tigers vs Tigers)
  • Each scout will race 4 times (once on each of the 4 tracks)
  • After the scouts are done, there will be an open race for anyone to enter (adults included)
  • Do not put a number sticker on your car - the leaders will number the cars
  • Weights, graphite, and tools will be available at the weigh-ins to help gain or lose weight (to stay under 5 oz)
Remember what's important about the Derby!
1. Working together - the scout and adult should build the car together (as much as possible, especially for the younger scouts). It's about learning, not perfection :O)
2. Learning about tools - the scout should learn something about the tools and materials used
3. ! Sportsmanship ! - the scout needs to be a good sport whether he wins or loses. Please prepare your scout for the races by stressing this point. We just want everyone to have fun :O)

See you at the Derby!
