Pinewood Derby Rules

Posted on Nov 3 2024 - 2:24pm

Pack

Message:

Please see attached for the full list of pinewood derby rules that our pack follows*.

The key rules that must be followed:

1) All cars must be less then or equal to 5oz on the official scale. The shop scales are only for guidance. The official scale shall be calibrated to a 200 gram standard weight.

2) All cars must meet length, width, height requirements. Pay close attention bottom clearance of 3/8in where we run into issues each year.

3) BSA axles, BSA wheels, and BSA body wood from the BSA kit must be used to be eligible for scout trophies. Hobby Lobby car kits are not the offical kit and will be DQed or placed in the open division. If there were any substitutions, please inform the check in person and you/your scout can still race in the "open/adult" division but just not be eligible for trophies. We give 1st-3rd place medals in the open/adult division instead of trophies.

4) No cars with wet lubricants, glue or paint will be allowed to be checked in. These WILL damage other cars and the track.

5) While selecting a design, please ensure there is a 1/4" flat nose in the middle of the car for the starting pin to make contact with the car. Any asymmetric cars without a well defined nose will have to be modified before check in.

*Please note - Over the years people have submitted part modifications and since we do not want to turn anyone away we have allowed them to still race in the open/adult division as long as they meet weight and dimension requirements.

Message:

Spook-o-rama is on Oct. 24th 6:30pm - feel free to wear costume and bring bag for candy.

If you sold popcorn this year please make sure to turn in all order forms and money to Shyla by the meeting this Thursday, October 24th.

Order form attached but the preferred method is to use the trails-end app.

1. Register your Cub Scout in the Trails End app. or online at Trail's End Popcorn | The Scouting Fundraiser (trails-end.com) (there are no paper copies this year).

2. Start selling. Remember that 30% of popcorn sales goes toward reducing individual yearly dues. Your scout will also be earning 1 point for every cash sale and 1.5 points for every credit card sale. The more points earned, the bigger the reward. Check out the rewards in the app.

3. The app accepts cash or credit card (which can be entered manually or with a Square Reader). You will choose Wagon-front sales if you go door-to-door. You will choose Storefront sales if you work one of the shifts at Kroger or Ace Hardware (you can register for a shift in the app). Online sales are done by the individuals with whom you share your scout's QR code (Facebook, email, text, etc.) and will be shipped directly to the customer with added shipping costs if the total is less than $65.

4. Please collect money at the time of the sale. All checks for popcorn orders or direct donations should be made out to Pack 1999.

If you have any questions, please text Shyla at 713-201-5468.

HAPPY SELLING!
