Pinewood Derby Races

Have you survived all of the ice and snow we have had this winter?  Hopefully, the winter weather will give us a break soon because it is almost time for one of the most fun Cub Scout events.  That's right!  It's time to go racing; Pinewood Derby Racing that is.  Below is a reminder of the times for each of the events, both the Pack Race and the District Race at the Village Square Mall.  If you need any assistance with car design or building, please contact Tod as soon as possible.  He will be more than happy to help.

The Pack Derby is scheduled for Saturday, February 12th, 2011 at the Effingham KC Hall.  Each age level will compete independently and the top three in each age division will move on to compete in the Pack Grand Prix.  There will also be judging for the best car design.  Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in age division.  The schedule is as follows:
Tigers:  8:30 – 9:30
Wolves:  9:30 – 10:30
Bears:  10:30 – 11:30
Webelos:  11:30 – 12:30
The Pack Grand Prix for the top three winners in each age division will take place on Monday, February 21st, 2011 at the monthly pack meeting.  This is a "winner-take-all" race with a trophy for 1st place only.

The Derby Race at Village Square Mall will be held on February 26th, 2011.  This race is open to all area scouts, as well as a “Geritol” or open division for any non-Cub Scout or adult.  The registration fee is $5.00 per scout.  Please do not be late for this derby, as no cars will be entered after the start of the race.  The mall schedule is as follows:
Tigers:  10:00 – 11:30
Wolves:  12:30 – 2:00
Bears:  2:00 – 3:30
Webelos:  8:30 – 10:00
