So you want to race in United Brethren's Pinewood Derby? You have two options, use a car you previously built as a Scout when you were a few years younger ;) or build a new one. We will have two racing classes available , official Boy Scout rules and an unrestricted class. Unrestricted class while pretty much open, you must follow the general rules below. This will ensure the cars are high enough to clear the track and not hit any of the other cars. GENERAL RULES Ground clearance 3/8” Clearance between wheels 1 ¾” Maximum car width 2 ¾ inches Offical BoyScout Rules Unrestricted Class Rules Maximum weight 5.0 ounces No combustible substances Maximum car length 7 inches No remote wires
Where can I get a Pinewood Derby kit? The official cars can be picked up at the local Scout Shop located in Southborough or online at the BSA store (see links below). Pinewood Derby kits can also be found at most hobby shops or various online sites including Amazon (see links below). New England Scout Shop  Southborough MA 01772    |
