Pinewood DerbiesPinewood Derby

One of the highlights of the Scouting year is the annual Pinewood Derby.  It is a great chance for Scouts to test skills they have learned in a friendly competition.

Scouts design and build their own Pinewood Derby Car.  Pinewood Cars sit on a special track with as many as four other cars and then they race each other to the finish.

 

 

Archery Safe Instruction

Archery and BB Gun Shooting are some of the most exciting opportunities that Scouts get at Council or District run events.  Each of these activities are designed to be safe with the proper adult supervision.

 

 

 

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)

Many people think about Scouting and they think about camping and swimming, but Scouting is so much more.  Building and launching rockets is a favorite event which requires Scouts to learn and practice skills that are related to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics!

 

Friends

New Friends

Scouting involves working together, which leads to the creation of friendships that will last a lifetime.  Many Scouts become Cub Scouts together and grow and learn all the way through high school as they work together first in a den and then in Scouts BSA as a patrol.
