About Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is one of the most exciting family traditions in Cub Scouting. Scouts build small wooden cars—often with help from their families—and then race them down a track powered by gravity.

Every Scout gets to design their own “grand prix” car and see their hard work fly! Win or lose, Scouts learn craft skills, fair play, and great sportsmanship—and they’ll remember it for years.
