WHY RACE? Because it's FUN! 

The premise of Cubmobile is classic Scouting fun at its finest: Your Cub Scout and parent build 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, 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. 

FOR EVERYONE'S HEALTH AND SAFETY:

• Race sessions are scheduled every 60 minutes which allows for up to 50 minutes of racing and 10 minutes of practice driving, with a maximum of 30 Cub Scouts per session.
• For safety reasons, each Scout is required to have their own helmet. Scouts without a helmet will not be able to participate.
• For health reasons, we are unable to provide helmets as has been done in the past.
