2008 Natchez Trace Pinewood Derby
 

The 2008 District race is now history. The pinewood derby cars of 2008 were the fastest and best looking of any year so far!  The total number of participants totaled 138 among 28 Pack Units.  No other District in the Middle Tennessee Council can make this claim.  The enthusiasm of the Scouting movement is pronounced in the Natchez Trace District.

The inspection team performance was outstanding as Dean Galbreath headed up a three person team. Three Boy Scouts (Troop 135 and Troop 1) managed the Car Impound. After Mr. Poe's "charge" to the racers, Pack 14 performed a character driven Opening Ceremony. The crowd then showed reverence to God as young Billy blessed the race. After much anticipation, Mr. Hawkins started the race with a resounding "count down".

Recognition goes to Cool Springs Galleria Mall and all Scout leaders and Boy Scouts that strengthened our Derby Team: Dean Galbreath & Jeff Bruzn with Pack 597, CY Fenton & Hoyt Condra with Pack 14, Paige Wells with Pack 233, Liz with Pack 1291, R. Teague with Pack 135 and Tommy & Karen Marr from the Dan Beard District. Also, appreciation to Mr. Hawkins for a smooth and exciting race. Thanks also goes to Troop 135 in Franklin (1st Presbyterian) for sponsoring the Pinewood Derby Web Site.

The Natchez Trace District Is A Pinewood Derby Machine!

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 participated in Pack Unit Pinewood Derby races this year 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 participated is a champion!
