Ready, Set, Go - Cub Scouts Design Cars for their Pinewood Derby Race

Posted

Members of Pack 88 Cub Scouts in Rumford participated in a woodworking workshop on February 16 to carve their cars for their upcoming Pinewood Derby Race. The workshop is hosted each year by Bob and Sandy Vandal, the parents of Cub Scouts Den Leader Chris Vandal.

During the workshop, the Cub Scouts used pencils to draw their car designs on wooden blocks. They then worked with the Vandal family to carve out their cars on professional woodworking equipment.

The Cub Scouts look forward to creating their custom-designed cars each year. Each Cub Scout receives a Pinewood Derby Kit containing a block of wood and wheels, and then spends weeks carving, painting and assembling it for the race.

In addition to awards for the fastest cars, Cub Scouts also compete to win the “most creative” car. Pack 88 is hosting its Pinewood Derby Race on March 4
