Pack 4034 Holds Annual Pinewood Derby
Cub Scout Pack 4034 held it’s annual Pinewood Derby on Saturday, March 9, 2013. At 9 a.m. the Tiger Den presented the flags, announcements were given, and Cubmaster Jason Stokes told the Cub Scouts about the beginning of the Pinewood Derby.
Racing began with the Wolves (2nd grade), then the Tigers (1st grade), Bears (3rd grade), and Webelos (4th and 5th grade).
1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners were announced for the Dens:
- Tigers: Matt Pearson, Nicholas Groven, Caiden Cleghorn
- Wolves: Caleb Paulus, Tyler Marth, Adam Wyborny
- Bears: Carter Hermann, Bryce Larson, Brooks Hoffman
- Webelos: Josh Pearson, Gavin Reicks, Cory Marth
These Scouts then raced again for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall. There was a short intermission and everyone got to judge which car they thought was the best design.
Awards were presented for People’s choice, Wyatt Medlin, Leader’s Coice, Bryce Marzen, and Lion’s Club choice, Adam Wyborny.
A special Green Award was presented to Dawson McEichen for the most fuel efficient car.
Cars were re-lubed and Den winners raced again. Grand Prize: Josh Pearson, 2nd Gavin Reicks, and 3rd Carter Hermann.
The Scouts were lined up and each Scout got a goodie bag, a car cookie, and a patch. Leaders and pinewood derby committee were then lined up and each received a patch and a cookie.
Every boy that wore their uniform was put in a drawing for a gift certificate. Zack Ott was the name that came out of the hat.
Open class, which is open to everyone who wants to race a car, was then run. There are no set rules for weight or size. It just has to be able to go down the track.
