Pinewood Derby and the New Cub Scout Adventures

Post by rcmoeur »

I'm getting ready to teach a class on Pinewood Derby at our annual Council training this weekend, and I was going through the new Cub Scout Adventures to see how they tie in to Pinewood Derby. From what I see, a boy's work on a Pinewood Derby car can count toward Baloo the Builder (all parts) if he's a Bear, and toward Build It (1-4) and Engineer (2) if the boy is a Webelos. But apparently nothing for Tiger or Wolf.

Does this agree with other Cub Scout leaders' experiences?

Hi rcmoeur welcome back!

For the Wolf Adventure.. Air of the Wolf.
They could use a pinewood derby car also..
To conduct at least one of the following investigations to see how air affects different objects.

For the Bear Claws Adventure.. Whittling chip.
If a pocket knife is used to carve out at least 2 different designs of pinewood derby cars.
As I see it also.
What type of automobile can be spelled the same forwards & backwards?
