Pinewood Derby
"Be Fast... or Look Good Trying"
The pinewood derby is one of the most popular and successful
family activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small
wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their
families. Then they race the cars in competition. The cars are
powered by gravity and run down a track. Every scout can design
and build his own "grand prix" car to enter in the race.
