Pinewood Derby

Pinewood Derby will be taking place Saturday, March 25th at New Harvest Christian Fellowship Church 12216 Broadway Street Pearland, Texas 77584. Each scout is given a pinewood derby kit to build at home, or with your Den or Pack. Support and tools are available to families who would like assistance completing this project, as the Pack holds at least one Pinewood Derby cut day. After the cars are built and decorated, timed races are conducted at the pack’s Pinewood Derby event.

Each scout will be assigned a Car Number (look for an upcoming email) and at check-in will be asked to submit a car name. The decals in the car kit or similar should be used to show the Car Number on the car (we’ll have a few extras). Cars will remain overnight and no adjustments can be made or graphite added after checking in.

Due to the time it takes to enter cars into the race software, all cars must be checked-in Friday before 8:00 PM or they may not be allowed to race.

Additional Pinewood Derby kits can be purchased for scouts with family members who would also like to build and race a car. Yes, dads can build and race their own cars in our “unsanctioned” Siblings & Parents race!!!

Also please remember that we are a volunteer-run organization and with that said, each individual rank is asked to please help. For the Pinewood Derby, we are asking for Bear families to assist the Cubmaster to set up and run this program. One of the main positions that are needed is a tech-savvy parent to input and run the race program for check-in and the day of the race. The signup genius link is below.
