The Pinewood Derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America. Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.
The scouts paint and decorate their cars in any way they like. On Race day they race against the other members of their Dens and the winners from each Den race to give us the Pack Champions!
