Hi Pack Families,
We just received the 2025 official Pinewood Derby rules from the district, and we've attached a copy for your reference. This email is dedicated to answering questions and sharing important details for new and returning families. There's a lot to cover, so please see the information below:
Q: Where are the rules for the race and my car? A: Check the attached document or click [this link].
Q: What is the timeline of events leading up to the race? A: Please refer to the handout for all key info and timelines, see newsletters
Q: I need to weigh my car. Is there a pack scale or workshop? A: Yes! We'll have a weigh-in on March 5th. If you need a weight check before then, reach out, and we'll help.
Q: What is the family race? A: The family race is a fun opportunity for everyone to participate! We have extra cars available—reach out if you're interested. Parents, siblings, or even a friend curious about scouting can join and race with Pack 722. It's a great way to bring a buddy along!
Q: What is the schedule for race day? A: Final times will be shared in the February pack meeting and Newsletter.
Q: Lunch on Pack 722 Derby Day? A: Yes!!! The church will be providing lunch for the Pack from 11 AM to 1 PM—hot dogs, chips, and baked goods are typically on the menu.
Q: If I win the Pack 722 race, what's next? A: Winners from each den will advance to the District Race on March 29th at Concord Pack 133. Top finishers may even qualify for the national races!
Yours in Scouting,
Pack 722
