Every January Pack 968 participates in this annual Cub Scout Tradition. 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 – create a design, carve it from the wood block provided in the kit, detail it with paint, decals and other accessories, and perfect strategies for race day. 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. The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular events in Cub Scouting. ​The competition is fast, furious, but above all, fun!
