Cub Scout Pack 274 Almaden Valley · San Jose, CA

Activities

Pinewood Derby

Build a small wooden car, race it down the track, and cheer for everyone — the classic Cub Scout event.

The Pinewood Derby is a Cub Scouting tradition: each Scout, with help from family, shapes and decorates a car from a block of wood, then races it against the rest of the pack on race day. The build is half the fun.
