Partnered with a parent or guardian, Cub Scouts work together, strengthening bonds and building confidence – and their own custom race cars! They begin with an official Pinewood Derby Race Car kit, then create a design, then carve it from the wood block provided in the kit, and detail it with paint, decals and other accessories, and perfect strategies to compete in their pack’s own Pinewood Derby. It’s a wonderful learning experience centered on teamwork, ingenuity and sportsmanship – all for the thrill of the race and a lifetime of great memories to share with fellow racers young and old.

This year, we are going to be picking up cars in each city in the weeks leading up to the Pinewood Derby. We'll be sending out an email to everyone listing those locations. During virtual meetings on the week of January 18th, we are going to be doing a workshop on ways to build your car. On February 27 at 9:00 AM, we will race those cars on a live video over zoom and Facebook Live. Awards will be given for first, second, and third place, as well as things like best design. Cars will be returned after the event is over at the same places they were dropped off at.
