srv1990 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I was never in the Scouts growing up, but now that my 8 year old son is I'm getting to experience the Pinewood Derby. He raced last weekend and just missed finishing in the top six and going to Districts. Oh well, we had fun building his car together. Following are a couple pics of his car, and one of him. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 That's an awesome car!! I used to love the pine wood derby when I was a cub scout! I never did well, but it was always alot of fun. Quote
srv1990 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks Bass Fisherman... it is a lot of fun, even for someone as mechanically challenged as myself! And they now have races for girls, called the Powderpuff Derby. My daughter's race is in a couple weeks. Tom Quote
Mobydick Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Ohhhh my...that brings back memories! I used to race them. Thats an awesome car, supporting the troops! Ian Quote
Sin_City702 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 My favorite thing in scouts were the pinewood boats. Too much fun.... The BSA shop sells the kits...you take rain gutters and fill them half way up with water...oh the old days... Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 We did the boats, cars and they had/have like a rocket thing too. It was always alot of fun. Quote
