A belated thank you to everyone who attended our Blue and Gold Banquet!! This was one of our best turnouts in a long time and we appreciate everyone coming out. The food was delicious!! Congratulations to all the boys on the advancements that they earned!! It's obvious that everyone has been working hard!
Every boy by now should have received his pinewood derby car. If he has not, please let his den leader know as he/she should have one reserved for him. Every boy should also have an official Pack 118 T-shirt. Again, if not, please see his den leader.
Our pinewood derby will be taking place on Saturday, March 22. We will have car check in night the Friday before. Please remember that all cars MUST meet the official derby rules that can be found by clicking here. This is also the link that can be found to the right. If you have any questions or concerns or your kit is missing parts, please contact Ryan LaRoche at evannpd@charter.net
Remember that the pinewood derby is a great way to spend time with your son, but building his car for him teaches him nothing. Please work WITH your son to HELP him build his car. You will both find it much more rewarding! For those parents (and siblings!) that just can't stand by and watch, we will have an adult race as well as a sibling race. Car kits can be purchased from Ryan for $5. Please email him if you'd like a kit. All cars entered in either of those races must also meet the official rules of the race.
Each den will have trophies awarded: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. We will have a trophy for the fastest adult, one for the fastest sibling/child (non-scout) and one for the crowd favorite scout car. If your son has a hard time not winning, please prep him ahead of time so maybe the tears can be limited on race day. Every racer will receive a pinewood derby medal and certificate.
New this year, our Arrow of Light Den 3 will be "jacking up" cars! Be sure to check them out!!
