Like many popular Scouting programs, the pinewood derby began at one unit and spread nationwide like wildfire. The grassroots program—because of its very nature, its inherent merit, and the fact that it is just plain fun—went from one father’s idea at a California Cub Scout pack to sweeping the nation in the early 1950s.  To learn more about the History of the PWD and it’s purpose in Scouting, check out this link.

Pack 1 will hold our annual Pinewood Derby in January!  We anticipate offering workshops ahead of the derby as we all prepare our vehicles for competition.  Watch this space for details and the opportunity to register!
