Planning A Pinewood Derby

Most units will do their Pinewood Derby this month.  The following are a few items to consider when planning your derby.



  • Type of race (Cubs only, Parents and Cubs, Adults, Cubs and Siblings, open race, etc.)
  • Is an open class going to be allowed so anyone who wants to can race?
  • How many and what kind of awards will be given out?
  • Who will purchase or make awards?
  • What are the rules? (It's helpful to hand out a copy of the rules when handing out the car kits)
  • Who will judge the participation awards?
  • Where will you get a track?
  • Who can help set up and take down?
  • How sophisticated of a a track and timing do you want?
  • Who will schedule the room and equipment needed?
  • When will weigh-ins be?
This is great deal of work for one person to do... involve your committee! Good Luck!
