Cub Scout Pack 171

By now everyone should have received a pinewood derby car kit from their den leader. If you have not please contact your den leader to get your kit. Watch this space for more information on times and other details.

Visit the Lowes website or the Dremel website for great information about planning and building your pinewood derby car.

The pack will be holding a Pinewood Derby workshop from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on February 4th at Williamson Chapel UMC. Bring your car kits and your ideas and the pack will help you and your son build a car he can be proud of.

2012 Pinewood Derby Rules

Friday, January 6 – Sunday, January 8, 2012

Pack 171 will be taking a weekend trip to Charleston, SC to camp on the USS Yorktown and tour Patriot’s Point. This is a unique experience and highly anticipated trip. We get to sleep in the crew bunks and eat in the mess hall. We tour the ship and watch movies on the flight deck. As part of the trip we will also take a boat to Fort Sumter. Your trip fee even includes a souvenir t-shirt for the kids.

Transportation is on your own (car pooling is encouraged). We finish the planned agenda Sunday morning and you are free to continue to tour the ship or Charleston and return when you wish. You must plan to arrive at the ship in Charleston no later than 7:30 pm on Friday, January 6th.
