Let's Get Ready to Race!

 

The annual Pinewood Derby provides a great opportunity for scouts and their adult partner(s) to work together and create a racing masterpiece. Outside of using power tools, parents should let their scout work on as much of the car as possible (drawing the design/template, sanding the wheels, hammering in the axles, painting the car, etc.). Most importantly, work together and HAVE FUN!

We run heats for each den, an open division for guests (which includes siblings, parents, and leaders), and a division for our local Girl Scout troops. The winners of each den compete against each other in the finals for a chance to participate in the national derby.
