The inspection team performance was outstanding as Pack 14 and Pack
135 took the lead in inspection and registration. Two Boy Scouts from Troop 13 managed the Car Impound. After the
opening ceremony, Mr. Hawkins started the race with a resounding "count down".
Everyone liked the new venue location at Holy Family Church, Crockett Park. So, we decided to keep this venue
for 2012! The date of the race will be April 21, 2012. The time will be one hour earlier, so we can get in and
out for our next Saturday activity.
What Really Matters
Like many other Cub & Family events, the Pinewood Derby is designed
to facilitate family interaction. Upon constructing the pinewood derby car, the individual talents of each scout will excel
in some areas but not in others. It's teaching a boy how to deal with these "How Do I" situations that is most important,
not winning a race.
Scouts that participate in Pack Unit Pinewood Derby race this year will
spend quality time with an adult team partner(s) creating a unique car to be proudly displayed. Yes, only a hand full of scouts
will win a trophy; but, every scout that participates is a champion!
