Greenwich Scouting’s Pinewood Derby Days are underway. During the month of February, Cub Scouts will race to the finish on a 32 ft. digital track at Seton Scout Reservation. The top 3 racers from each local pack will compete in the championship race at Miller Motorcars on Sunday, March 8.
Kevin O’Shea, Scout Executive said, “Building a pinewood derby car is one of the highlights of the year for our Scouting families. Each year, parents help their children like their parents helped them growing up.” Cub Scouts cut, sand and decorate a 7” wood block into a Pinewood Derby car.
The popularity of this annual Scouting event sparked the idea for the Pinewood Derby Social, an evening fundraiser for adults 21 and over. With two race classes, Traditional and No Holds Barred, the event gives derby fans the opportunity to design a car and race in the iconic Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Race.
“It’s promising to be much more than a typical Saturday date night – great food, good friends and the excitement of the Pinewood Derby,” said Eric Lindberg, Council President and Event Chair. “Many thanks to our sponsors, especially Miller Motorcars for hosting what will be a memorable evening of fast cars and support of our great Scouting program in Greenwich.”
The Pinewood Derby Social is set for Saturday, March 7 at Miller Motorcars – Ferrari Dealership in Greenwich.
