Den Meeting tonight and Pinewood Derby Updates

It’s going to be a busy month, so make sure you are ready!

Reminder, Den meetings at the SF Elementary School tonight.
The 2017 Pack 843 Pinewood Derby is just around the corner, so it’s time to get started on those cars!  All scouts with their dues paid should have received a Pinewood Derby kit.  If you didn’t get yours yet, see the Cubmaster at the main desk before or after your den meeting.  The rules are the same as previous year, if you need to review the rules here is the link Official Pack 843 Pinewood Derby Rules

Just like last year, you are required to use official BSA wheels and the supplied axle nails.  Your car cannot exceed 5 ounces, or the dimensions posted in the rules.

Weigh-in for the cars will be held on Saturday, January 13th from 10 AM to Noon at the Zion Lutheran Church.  All cars MUST BE AT THE WEIGH-IN in order to race!  If you are not available at that date and time, please make arrangements with another scout to bring your car to the weigh in.
