Camp is open to all Boys and Girls (Cub Scouts) entering the 1st – 5th Grade. If your child is not currently a Scout, he or she can still attend!   

Please note:  The Council places the safety and wellbeing of our scouts, parents, campers, and volunteers at the forefront.  Day Camp will only go forward if it is safe and in compliance with local, state and Boy Scouts of America directives. The ability to proceed with camp depends on having a sufficient number of volunteers to ensure the proper supervision of stable cohorts (groups) of campers as well as a sufficient minimum number of participants.

Pinewood Derby, Sunday Feb. 10, 2019

On Sunday morning, February 10, we will hold the annual Pinewood Derby in the John Baldwin MPR.

The Pinewood Derby race is one of Cub Scouts’ signature events.  Boys make cars from approved kits, and race them.  Cars are recognized for being fastest, coolest-looking, funniest, etc.

There will be four racing times, each lasting less than an hour:

  • 9:00 am – Tigers and Wolves
  • 10:00 am – Bears
  • 11:00 am – Webelos
  • 12:00 pm – Open division (brothers, sisters, adults)

Please plan on arriving a half hour early.

The maximum weight of the car is 5 ounces, and you’re not allowed to touch the axles or the wheels.  Remember that the emphasis should be on the scout’s efforts in making the car.

Please email your den leader or Mr. McClure to let us know that you or your scout are participating.  Makes it much easier on the day of the race.

Scouts may wear either their Class A or Class B uniform – their choice.

See you there!
