Pinewood Derby

Setup Night: Friday, February 16th @ 6:00pm

Race Day: Saturday, February 17th starting @ 9:00am

Good Shepherd Catholic Church

Theme:  Internet Memes

     It's that time of year again!  The annual Pinewood Derby is just around the corner!  This year's theme is Internet Memes to include popular YouTube videos.  Each Scout should have received a Pinewood Derby car kit which includes wood and wheels to make their car.  

Rules: There are specific guidelines the Scouts must follow when crafting their cars to include weight restrictions (5.0 ounces).  Please see the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) official website for Pinewood Derby Rules and Regulations.  If any questions, please contact the Cubmaster at cubscouts375@gmail.com.

Setup Night: We are looking for volunteers to help setup the track, pit stations, seating areas, etc. on Friday night 2/16 starting at 6pm.  This time can also be used by all scouts and parents to do an unofficial weigh-in of the cars for any last minute alterations.

Scouts are not required to participate in the Pinewood Derby nor are they required to stay for the duration of the event, just their time slot and Finals if applicable.  Those unable to attend the event can still have their cars compete so long as the car is provided beforehand.  

Each Scout competes against other cars from their Den.  Den winners and those with the fastest times go on to compete in an overall Pack race.  The top three Pack finishers then compete in the District Finals usually held later in April. 

Please see below for additional details and tentative race times on Saturday. 

9:00 a.m.:  Webelos II

9:15 a.m.:  Webelos I

 ** Please arrive 30 minutes before your race time to register and weigh in your car.**

**We plan to setup live streaming of the races for those unable to make it or to share the streaming link with family members not in the area.**

There are extras kits available for siblings, friends, and other family members for $5 each.

If your son did not receive his car, please contact his Den Leader.

Klondike Derby Recap

     The Klondike Derby is an annual event held during the winter months and is based on the heritage of the Klondike Gold Rush.  This year, the 47th annual Klondike Derby theme was the Old Buffalo Trace.  

     The event consisted of several stations where patrols/units tested their Scoutcraft skills and leadershp abilities, earning points toward a final score.  Stations included archery, BB gun shooting, cooking, first aid, fire making, fossil ID and a sled obstacle course.  The patrols transported all their gear on a homemade sled pulled by the Scouts.

     Cub Scout Pack 375 had two patrols this year.  The Webelos II, aka the Diamond Ninjas, did an excellent job working together and finishing in 3rd place.  The Dab Cats, aka the Webelos I, also had an impressive showing for their first year with a 7th place finish.  The boys performed well as teams and had fun despite the cold temperatures and lack of snow! 

Great work Scouts!
