Embedded Files
In 2022, we held a hybrid Pinewood Derby, with a Livestream for folks at home (or family members far away) and an in-person event for those who felt comfortable. We separated the racing by den, which avoided crowding. We are, as always, thankful to the West Portal Lutheran Church for letting us use the Parish Hall to conduct the race.
This was also the first time we held the Bear Carnival at the same time as the race. This event is a way for our Bear scouts to show off their growing leadership skills, by creating and hosting games that the other scouts can play. It was a huge success!
Last, we must thank the many, many volunteers who made the Pinewood Derby event possible. None of this happens without all of us lending a hand -- thank you, thank you, thank you.
In 2022, we had 90 CARS entered! Wow! Each was a true work of art and we are super proud of the scouts who created these. Well done!
Thank you to everyone who participated!

You too can re-live the action of the 2022 Pinewood Derby race. Check out the recording of the livestream here:
This was a hybrid event, so there is only music playing in the background - no commentary.
In order to protect the identities of our scouts/other youth, the cameras were aimed intentionally to minimize the number of youth faces that would be captured in the livestream.

We always welcome cars into Family division which includes all of our non-scout racers (siblings, parents, other adults).
