Pack Meeting - Dec. 2nd, Duffy Cafeteria at 6pm

Racetime Adventure

Every Cub Scout's favorite time of the year - Pinewood Derby Season!

Pinewood Derby Car Kits will be distributed at this Pack Meeting. Scouts will also have some time to brainstorm designs. For those who don't have access to woodworking tools there will be a Car Cutting day on December 6th. 

In an effort to reduce check-in time the morning of the Pinewood Derby, each Cub Scout will be provided the number they will be assigned in the Pinewood Derby Race Management Software.

Additionally, the Pack will hold a Precheck night prior to race day to ensure your derby car is compliant to the rules. Cars can be weighed and dimensionally checked. The track will also be setup to allow for a test run down the track. 

Family/Reverence Adventure

The requirements for the Family/Reverence Adventure should be completed at home as a family. Please see your den resource page for more information.
