Pinewood Derby

One of the most well known events that each and every Cub Scout takes part in is the Pinewood Derby. Noah had the chance to participate once in this epic event, before he crosses over to become a Boy Scout this spring. Since Noah is an accomplished wood worker, he enjoyed working on his car, and painting it to suit his style. A last minute trip with Dad to Home Depot ensured that the weight was right on. 

Mamma had to be out of town and therefore could only experience Pinewood Derby through pictures. Lukas' busy robotics schedule did not permit any respite to go and watch his brother compete, so Noah and Dad headed off to the local race.

A few hours later and Noah, car and Dad were back home, thinking this was the end of Noah's Pinewood Derby career. There were many children competing and since the competition took much longer than anticipated, they left before the final ceremonies. Today in Noah's Cub Scout Pack Meeting, Noah found out that he and his red car has advanced to Districts. Noah rushed home to locate his car, making sure that it remains in great shape for the next round of racing. Now, he can hurry up and wait, the next event is May!
