2018 Pinewood Derby Workshop

Are you unsure how to build a pinewood derby car? Don’t have the tools to cut out the car? Cub Scout Pack 1776 will be holding a brief workshop to help get you started.

At the workshop we will have some basic design ideas, a scroll saw or two, coping saws, and some sand paper on hand to help get you started. We will go over the process of building a Pinewood Derby car as well as distribute the Pinewood Derby rules.

We will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the Pinewood Derby. After the workshop, you will have three weeks to fine tune your car, get it painted and make it look great.

If you have any extra tools such as scroll saws, dremel tools, coping saws, or sand paper and are willing to give us a hand, please let us know as soon as possible.

At the Christmas Party; your scout was issued a certificate redeemable for one Pinewood Derby Kit. Please bring the certificate to the workshop to receive your pinewood derby car kit. Additional kits will be available for $5.00 per kit

Please note: Our pack’s pinewood derby rules were written to coincide with the district’s pinewood derby rules. It is important that you adhere to these rules to prevent disqualification.

We have included a link to the rules used for last year’s derby. If we make any changes, we will update this link after the workshop.
