Scouts … Start Your Engines!

Put your car to the test against the rest of the Wapiti District May 2nd at Boulder County Fairgrounds in Barn A (Boulder County Fairgrounds 9595 Nelson Rd, Longmont, CO 80501) for the 2026 Pinewood Derby. Each pack can enter up to 3 cars per rank (i.e. Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and AOL) to race for trophies, glory and just plain good old fashioned FUN!

Wapiti District is hosting the event in conjunction with Spring Camporee. There is a $6 entry fee for each car (maximum of 24 cars per Pack). Top three places from each rank will receive a trophy. Top two places for overall district champion will receive trophies. We will also run an Open, where adults, siblings and any interested party is welcome to compete for the thrill of racing.
