Pinewood Derby Reminder

 

Pack 93,

We are not going to have the traditional derby this year due to concerns with the ability to social distance.  However, we did purchase car kits and would like give families the opportunity to make a car.  

 

Please have your cars complete by Saturday, January 16^th.  We'll ask that the completed cars be dropped off at 11am at the church so that everyone can see what was created.  There will be an outdoor area set up to view the cars and we’ll have awards across various categories:

 

·      Most Unique Derby Car

·      Most Humorous Derby Car

·      Most Impressive Paint Job

·      Most Realistic Design

·      Judge’s Choice

·      People’s Choice 

 

This is the year to focus on design and imagination without having to worry about the racing requirements.  Even though we won't be racing, we thought having the boys create their cars would still be a nice learning experience and a good way to incorporate some additional family time during the holiday break.   So let those creative juices flow and have fun with it!!

 

If you don’t have your car kit yet, please reach out to your Den leader.  

 

So we know who will be joining us, please sign up on the attendance spreadsheet on the blog at: http://pack93toro.blogspot.com/p/attendance-spreadsheet.html .
