2004 Pinewood Derby

Rules: Each scout must register his car in his scout uniform, and his car must pass an inspection to compete.

Den leaders will pass out kits at February PACK meeting. Each scout should build his own car with some help from a PARENT or GUARDIAN only.  Only official Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby kits may be used to build cars for this race.  You may not use cars from previous year races either.  Each scout may have a family car which is built by another family member.  Family cars will not compete for pack or rank level awards.
