WHY RACE? Because it's FUN! 

The premise of Cubmobile is classic Scouting fun at its finest: your Cub Scout and parent builds a soapbox derby-style car that the Cub Scout can drive. Then they race it as many times as possible during their time slot!

Win some, lose some. What could be better? Cars race two at a time, as often as time allows, on a closed, gently sloped course at the Evanston Civic Center.  It’s a great way to spend an autumn Sunday with your Pack. 

• We recommend that each den build its own Cubmobile. Building and painting your car(s) is a great team activity that can be performed outdoors and allows for distance between den members. Cubmobiles can be as simple or spectacular as your den wishes, but they MUST have a  seat, seat belt, footrest, brake, and steering mechanism. 
• Cars take about four hours to build, less in a pinch.  Parts are easily obtained and need not be expensive or elaborate. 
• We need parent/leader volunteers to help stage and load cars. The smoother the flow, the more rides each Cub Scout gets. LINK TO VOLUNTEER.
• Walk-up registration is allowed, but walk-ups will only be permitted on a "space available" basis, with first come, first served.

FOR EVERYONE'S HEALTH AND SAFETY:

• Race Sessions are scheduled every 60 minutes, allowing up to 55 minutes of racing and 5 minutes of setup, with a maximum of 50 Cub Scouts per session.
• Each Scout MUST Have their own helmet.  No Helmet, no ride, NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Spectators, volunteers, and Cub Scouts are encouraged to wear a face mask for this event. 
• For health reasons, we are unable to provide helmets or Cubmobiles as has been done in the past.
