    2026 Pinewood Derby Recap

    Congratulations to all of our Pinewood Derby participants and a big thank you to all of our volunteers, including scouts from troops 79B, 79G, 90, and 108.

    36 cars participated in the race, 22 from Pack 170, 7 from Girl Scout troop 72059, and 7 outlaws.

    Take a look at some of our facebook posts for more pictures and highlights from the event.

    Car PicturesCompetition Awards

    The top five racers will represent Pack 170 at the District Pinewood Derby on April 25, from 8am – 12pm.

    • Crispin F. – AOL
    • Eli P. – Lion
    • Caroline K. – Bear
    • Elliott K. – Bear
    • Gabriel R. – Wolf

    Alternates in case above are unavailable:

    • Samantha W. – Bear
    • Foster K – Lion

    Generally the District competition rules are more lenient than Pack 170s, although they tend to use a scale that goes out to 3 decimal points, so you may find your car to be slightly heavy. Please reach out to myself or Brad if you have concerns or questions regarding this. I will post the official 2026 district rules as soon as I have them confirmed.

    After the district pinewood derby there will be an Outlaw race, see the details on the right for more information.

    Rules for the outlaw race are below, please note that the date of the outlaw race has changed to April 25th since these rules were created.
