Postponed – Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold Dinner

 

Pack 93,

The committee has made the decision to postpone both the Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold dinner due to COVID quarantines and concerns with exposure.

 

Our scouts (and parents too) have put a lot of effort into building their cars and we want to be sure that everyone has a chance to participate in the fun of the derby.  It is one of the highlights of our year and we want to be able to enjoy it together!

 

The Blue & Gold dinner is traditionally held inside the Parish Hall and we didn’t want to take any chances while COVID case rates remain high.  

 

Please still hold the date of 2/12 on your calendar, as we are hoping to have a hike set up instead.  More to come soon….

 

We are working on alternative dates for the Pinewood Derby and Blue & Gold dinner and will be sure to communicate those as soon as we have them.

 

Thank you!

Hopefully all the scouts received a Pinewood Derby car kit at our last meeting in December.  If your scout hasn't received a car yet, please contact your Den Leader.  

Lots of info on the Pinewood Derby can be found on the blog at http://pack93toro.blogspot.com/p/pinewood-derby.html.  A lot of the information is generic but will give a good idea of how the derby will work. 

We will have scales to weigh cars to make sure they meet the maximum weight limit of 5 ounces.  We will also have some repair items in case a car loses a wheel/axel, etc.  If you have questions about any aspects of the Pinewood Derby, please feel free to ask your Den leader.

 

Lastly, our meeting on Monday, 1/24 will be a Pinewood Derby prep meeting.  We’ll have scales, tools and parents with Derby experience so we can all collaborate and ensure we are ready for the big day!
