The Pinewood Derby is one of the most memorable traditions in Cub Scouting! Each Scout works with their family to design, build, and decorate a wooden race car, then competes on race day to see whose car is the fastest—or the most creative. It’s a day filled with cheers, friendly competition, and plenty of Scout spirit. More than just a race, the Pinewood Derby is about teamwork, imagination, and making lasting memories with friends and family.
All cars must be newly built by the Scout in the current scout year.
With the exception of weights and decorative items, only parts contained in the "Official Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby Kit" or the “Official Wheel/Axle Kit” may be used.
The width of the car should not exceed 2 ¾” and the length should not exceed 7".
The total weight of the car cannot exceed 5 ounces.
Due to the track design, there must be a minimum clearance under the car of 3/8" and the height cannot exceed 4".
All four wheels must touch the track and each wheel must have an independent axle (nail).
