Pinewood Derby is fast approaching and will take place! If there is anyone who has not received their car kit, please contact Hope Pyrtle at 615.516.8922.
We will have the Pack Pinewood Derby track set up from 11am-4pm this Saturday, 2/1/20 in the Family Life Center (upstairs) for anyone who would like to ensure their car is tuned to work with the track. We will also have some tools available for use. We will NOT have the timing system set up. Lastly, we will only run one car at a time this Saturday.
Weigh-in is on Friday, Feb 14th from 6 – 8 PM in the Family Life Center (big Gym). If your scout will be racing, you don’t sign up, but you MUST bring their car for weigh-in during that time frame. (You may just drop in with the car whenever is convenient for you within the 2 hour period.) The cars will be impounded, so that no one touches them overnight, and we will race Sat, Feb. 15th. I will send the racing times for each den in the 2/9 weekly email. For those who have never participated in Pinewood Derby, we race others in the same den, the top 3 racers win for their den. (They will receive a pin for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.) We end with a race for the Pack winners by racing the top 3 in every den. (So if your scout is in the top 3, they will return to race in the Finals.) Every den will also have a Coolest Car winner (voted on by each scout in their den). The trophies for the Pack winners and the Coolest Car Plaques will be awarded during our Annual Blue and Gold Banquet. Please use this link for the rules. http://www.pack934.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Pack-934-PWD-Rules.pdf If anyone needs tools to borrow or has derby related questions, please contact Hope Pyrtle.
