Pinewood Derby

Yesterday I posted about the pinewood derby build and now for the race.   Nora’s car – “Sunburst” took both 3rd place in the sibling race and earned the “Most Dangerous” award.  Kai’s entry, “The Batmobile” won the “Shiniest Car” award and did well but didn’t place in the top 3.  They also gave out the awards for the Soapbox Derby which was held back in March but the award ceremony was delayed due to a sandstorm.  Kai took first place in the Wolf Scout race!

You can check out this link on the Pack3253 website for a time-lapse video of the tracks being put together.  Crystal was the event organizer and, as you might expect, the event was well-coordinated.

Getting Ready for the Pinewood Derby

The Cub Scout pinewood derby is coming up soon so this last weekend we started work on Kai’s car.   It was a foregone conclusion that we would be using a Star Wars motif.   Though specific details of the paint job remain to be determined, the vehicle has already been dubbed “The Captain Rex”.
