Pinewood derby

The Pinewood Derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts, where participants design and build small wooden cars from a block of wood, typically a pine block. The cars are usually around 5 ounces in weight and must meet specific size and weight regulations set by the scouting organization. Participants start with a basic kit that includes a block of wood, plastic wheels, and metal axles. They can then carve, paint, and customize their cars to create unique designs.
