Pinewood Derby 2008
What a fun night huh? In all my years of scouting I don't think I have ever seen so many good looking and FAST cars as I did Tuesday night. The competition was definitely fierce and after watching the 7 year old race it looks as if it will continue to be that way for quite some time. All you cubs should be very proud of your workmanship skills.
These were the finals results from Tuesday night.
Place (mph) Name Car# Car Name
1 9.402 217.6 S Kyle 26 Gold Lightning

August pack meeting
Pack meeting was a blast. Lots of awards were handed out for all of the cubs hard work up at Cub country. We also finally got our Pack flag and displayed it for the cubs and families to see.
It was also the night that we announced the blog and also passed out the pinewood derby cars. I hope you guys are working hard on those cars because September 2nd is right around the corner. Can't wait to see all the great cars that you guys build.
