Participation

Open to all currently registered Cub Scouts.

A Scout’s primary goal in Pinewood Derby should
be to:

  • Work together with a parent on a joint project
  • Acquire a healthy attitude about competition
    and sportsmanship
  • Become more proficient at woodworking
  • Survive the experience with all ten fingers
The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular events in Cub Scouting.
Every year more than 2 million boys and parents team up to carve, decorate,
weigh, adjust, fret over, and finally race a Pinewood Derby car. The first
Pinewood Derby was held in 1953 by Cub Scout Pack 280 of Manhattan
Beach, California, and since then about 100 million Pinewood Derby model
car kits have been sold. The purpose of the Pinewood Derby is to help the
Cub Scout build a team relationship with their parent or helper, experience
the sense of accomplishment and the excitement of competition, learn good
sportsmanship, and to have fun.
Registration and Inspection

All cars must pass inspection to qualify for the race.
Each car must pass inspection by the race officials
before it will be allowed to compete. The officials have
the right to disqualify those cars that do not meet
specifications. Cars not passing inspection for minor
infractions, i.e., weight, wheel width, loose body trim,
will have an opportunity for re-inspection 10 minutes
before close of registration.

Officials decisions are final. The car will be impounded
when registered until the races are complete. After
being impounded, repairs will be limited to replacement
of axles/wheels that are broken/lost during the race.
Any other piece of the car that is broken/lost during the
race can not be replaced.
