2012 Pine Wood Derby Crew

2012 Pine Wood Derby Crew

The Pine Wood Derby is held concurrently with the Father Son Cake Bake. The Cake Bake provides a significant source of income for the Pack.

In 2012 we held the event at the usual spot, the Church Hall, on March 18.

This year’s winners made the local paper. More importantly, everyone had a smashing good time running their cars down the track.
