Narcoossee District will be holding a District Pinewood Derby competition this year on April 7th from 9:30AM until 12:00PM. We are looking for Scouts and their cars from all over the district to compete against each other and see who has the fastest car in Narcoossee District.

OPEN TO CUBS, FAMILY, AND ADULTS There will be both a Cub Scout division and an “Outlaw” division so that everyone can partake in the fun.

AWARDS: Trophies for placement will be awarded in the Cub Scout Divisions for overall placement. There will also be certificates for the following: Most Unique, Best Theme, Kid’s Choice, Best Paint Job, and District Choice.

Registration cost is $5

OUTLAW DIVISION In order to make sure everyone can be a part of the fun, all leaders, family members, or old Scouts can also participate. They will all run in an “Outlaw” division with modified rules. While the length, height, width and clearance rules are the same, and you can’t use combustion or electricity, most everything else is fair game. Build it, race it, have fun!!!
