January is Pinewood Derby Time!
There are a lot of great designs available on the web and how-to-instructions for Scouts to create a design, trace cuts onto your block of wood (distributed at the holiday party), and be prepared to cut your car's design at our Build Night on Jan. 5.
Here's a link to a template you can print to help plan your design: https://www.leucht.com/pinewood_derby_car_design_blank_template.pdf
Awards will be given to the 3 fastest cars overall and in each den, with certificates presented in these categories:
