Where:
The Pinewood Derby is a racing event, held in
late January. Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their
own cars from the official BSA car kit provided by the Pack.
It is intended to be a Father/Son or Mother/Son activity. The
goal is for the boy to build as much of the car as possible,
with a guiding hand from the parent. We don't want 8 year old
boys racing against professionally built cars by 40 year old
Engineers. If this year is your first experience with Cub Scouts,
be forewarned, the Pinwood Derby is MUCH more competitive than
the Raingutter Reggata.
In an attempt to keep a level playing field,
due to circumstances in the past, the Pack has a specific set
of rules that you must adhere to when building and racing your
car.
Here are
the latest set of Official Pack
615 Rules (version 3).
