Pinewood Derby

Cub Scouts of the Club-sponsored Pack 51 race their handmade cars during this popular American tradition.


Cub Scout Pack 51 is an active group that offers hiking, camping and fun activities for youth in grades 1–5.

Meetings are held the second Friday of the month.

The Pinewood Derby is the Cub Scouts’ signature event. Kids, with the help of their parents, build their own cars from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.

The secret to winning: use lots of graphite.
