Pinewood Derby
Pack 108
Pinewood Derby
The Pinewood Derby is one of the highlights of the scouting year. Everyone gets excited about entering a car in the Pinewood Derby. The event is a great opportunity for scout and parent to spend time together on a fun project.
Pinewood is funded solely by fall popcorn sales.
If this is your first time, you might feel a little lost but do not worry. You will find a source of help in our Scout leaders and from adults with previous derby experience.
