While the exhilaration of the actual race lasts only moments, the famous Pinewood Derby® experience lasts a lifetime. The benefits, for Cub Scout and adult, are discovered through the derby process itself: strengthening bonds, sharing responsibility, developing teamwork, learning new skills, exercising creativity, building sportsmanship, and making new friends.
Each scout is given a pinewood derby car kit which includes a block of wood, 4 wheels, and 4 nails to be used as axles. The scout then designs, builds, and decorates a car of his own, according to a set of rules. Parents are encouraged to provide guidance, but leave most of the construction up to the scouts. Trophies are award to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each rank. The trophy winners then race off for the overall Pack Champion. The Pack Champion is eligible to compete in the District Pinewood Derby.

Doing service projects together is one way that Cub Scouts keep their promise "to help other people." While a Scout should do his best to help other people every day, a group service project is a bigger way to help people. While you're giving service, you're learning to work together with others to do something that's good for your community.
Service projects may help the natural world, the community, or the chartered organization. Some service activities our Cub Scouts do:
Park clean-ups, Feed My Starving Children, Scouting for Food, making bird feeders/houses, planting trees, pancake breakfast, and much more!
