Brothers In Scouting
Participation

Open to all Cub Scouts, Tiger Scouts, parents and
leaders.

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
A Quality District!
The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular events in Cub Scouting. Every
year more than a 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 as of
1991, more than 81 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.
