Pinewood Derby

The thing I like most about Cub Scouts is the Pinewood Derby Car races.

Every other year we get build a car to race against each other. First we start out with a block of wood, then we pick out a design and cut it out of the block. We do alot of sanding, painting and decorating of the reace car.
After we are done, it becomes a really cool pinewood derby car.

We all meet at Forest Ridge and have a big race. There are usually about 5 big winners, but we all get a participation ribbon. IT is a very fun event! I can't wait till my next race!
