Difficult Run District Pinewood Derby

March 21, 2026

Vale United Methodist Church, 11528 Vale Rd, Oakton, VA 22124

$12 per Scout

Entry is limited to Cub Scouts within the Difficult Run District who finished first by rank - Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, Arrow of Light - in their respective Pack Pinewood Derby Race or Concours competitions. A Scout simultaneously eligible for the Race Competition and Concours Competition is not permitted to enter both competitions. The Scout must decide which one of these competitions to enter and be pre-registered for that competition only. The Scout may cede their first-place position to the second-place finisher of their rank and allow them to enter either the Race or Concours competition with their own car.

If a Pack does not conduct a Pinewood Derby, a Scout may coordinate with their Pack to represent their rank and Pack and register for the 2026 Difficult Run District Pinewood Derby.

Each participating Pack must provide at least 1-2 volunteers to assist with the event. The link for volunteer positions is at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0449A8AA2EA2F5C16-62243155-2026. Scouts BSA troops looking for service hours are encouraged to participate (recruitment opportunity as well).
