The Pinewood Derby is a fun Cub Scout racing event held in many packs. During the event, Cub Scouts race small, driverless wooden cars down a sloped track. The cars are powered only by gravity.

With an adult’s help, each Pinewood Derby car is built by a Cub Scout using a kit that includes a wooden block, plastic wheels and metal axles. Trophies or medals are often awarded for the fastest car and the best designs.
Pack 467 typically holds our Pinewood Derby yearly in January or February.  Winners of each Den’s races are invited to participate in the Connecticut Rivers Council’s Pinewood Derby in late March.
