Decorations Crew

These individuals are responsible for all Derby-day decorations. This involves decoration acquisition from purchased sources, and locating businesses that are willing to donate decorations. Auto parts and tire shops are GREAT sources! On the eve of Derby day the Decorations Team is responsible for arranging all event decorations.

Awards Crew

Some Packs choose to purchase awards separately or combine additional awards (trophies, ribbons, certificates) available from the MC.  Most Pack Units award 1st/2nd/3rd place trophies for speed and one or two best design trophies.  Each scout usually receives a participation ribbon.  Some Packs can fund additional awards given to each rank's winners (Tigers, Wolves, Bears or Webelos).  Decorative ribbons, certificates, patches or pins are appropriate. 

Do not forget to recognize the combined talents of your cub & partner team.  Homemade Certificates can be presented for several categories; such as, Best Design (Traditional "Boy made"), Best Unique Design (Most Unusual), Wackiest, Coolest, Most Colorful, Best Reptile, Best Food Item, or a "What Is It?" award.  The award's decisions should be made by the derby committee, approved by the Pack Committee and the Pack Treasurer.  However, one individual will usually be responsible for ordering the awards for the race.  If your Pack choose to award these extras, be sure to assign someone the duty to Judge the cars before the race begins.  Otherwise, time will get away form you and boys will take there cars home instead of returning them to the table.

Cleanup Crew

All of our Committee members (and maybe some volunteer parents) help with post-event cleanup.
