Pinewood Derby for Boy scouts, car enthusiasts alike

Mar 4, 2019

Mattapoisett Cub Scout Pack 53 will hold its annual Pinewood Derby competition on Saturday March 9 at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church.

On-site registration begins at 9:30 a.m., racing begins at 10 a.m. The Pack will run two divisions — one just for the Cub Scouts and one for Pinewood Derby Enthusiasts. Enthusiasts will compete for bragging rights.

Details of the competition and rules are on the Pack 53 website: sites.google.com/site/mattapoisettpack53/pinewood-derby.

Participants will need to create their own Pinewood Derby car creations from a block of wood. Kits (regulation block of wood and wheels) are available for purchase for $5 each from the Pack. Contact Wendy Copps at pack53cubscout@gmail.com to learn more.
