Tomorrow is the last Day
Pinewood Derby Show & Shine
|
|
Is your Pack not running a Pinewood Derby?
Are you more into car design than the race?
Do you just miss your Pinewood Derby days?
We have the program for you. March 1st through May 15th, Scouts and Scouters of all ages can submit a photo of their Pinewood Derby car for a chance to win the 1st annual
Pinewood Derby Show & Shine.
There will be five groups with three categories each.
The Groups will be:
Lions & Tigers, Wolves & Bears, Webelos & Arrow Light, Scouts BSA, & Adults
The categories will be;
Best Retro Design, Best Innovative Design, & Best Paint/Graphic Design
Registration fee will be $5.00
Everyone receives a patch, with prizes for the winners of every group and category and a FREE week at Camp for the Grand Prize winner.
“Rules? There are no Rule.”
Well, that is not exactly true. But there are not too many.
1. The car must use at least one BSA Pinewood Derby Car base.
2. Cars must be completed by the age group the car is submitted in.
(obvious help can be given to youth where needed)
Other than those two rules you are free to do whatever you like. The crazier the better. Keep in mind the categories and go wild.

This year, our focus is “weird science”. By participating in day camp, the scouts will learn about the scientific process and how science is used in everyday life. They will have the opportunity to explore beyond the mundane, and perform wacky and fascinating experiments, while at the same time having fun, exploring our natural world, and fostering lasting friendships. |
