Pinewood DerbyThe 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 at the last pack meeting.  If you didn’t get yours yet, see you Den Leader at the next meeting (Dec. 7th).  Then before you begin building, be sure to review the Official Pack 843 Pinewood Derby Rules (pdf)

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 21st 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.

Races are on Saturday, January 28th at the Zion Lutheran Church.  Times are set by den level:

  • 10:00 AM Tigers (First Grade)
  • 11:30 AM Wolves (Second Grade)
  • 12:30 PM Bears (Third Grade)
  • 1:30 PM Webelo I (Fourth Grade)
