Pinewood Derby Build Day at the Skilled Trades Center 

The race starts long before the cars hit the track!

Join us for a Pinewood Derby Build Day at the Dever Family Foundation Skilled Trades Center, where Scouts and families can bring their car ideas to life with the right tools, guidance, and hands-on support.

Whether you're a first-time builder or a seasoned Derby pro, this event is designed to help Scouts safely cut, shape, sand, and prep their cars for race day. Volunteers and experienced mentors will be on hand to offer tips on design, weight placement, axles, and finishing touches — all while making sure the focus stays on fun and learning.

This is more than just building a fast car — it’s about:

• Learning new skills
• Gaining confidence using tools
• ‍‍‍Spending quality time together
• Creating something you’re proud to race

Bring your kit, your creativity, and your competitive spirit — we’ll provide the workspace and expertise to help you cross the finish line in style.

Pick your date and arrival time and let’s build something great!
