Hello Pack 52!
Spring is in the air! We have a busy month this month and with the weather getting nicer, we’re gearing up for more activities and opportunities to get out and have some fun. As a result, there’s a lot of info in this week’s update… Hello Pack 52!
Clocks spring ahead this coming weekend! That’s a good sign that Spring is right around the corner and racing in fast (though perhaps not as fast as our Pinewood Derby cars! While we’ll lose an hour of sleep on Sunday, we’ll soon be heading outside for activities!! Also, there may not be weekly update next week, but Den Meetings should be back to their regular schedule, and upcoming events are updated below. Now on to this week’s updates… We are only one week away from our annual Pinewood Derby. We're looking forward to seeing everyone's awesome car designs!! We wanted to send out a few reminders for next weekend, and a call for volunteers. Please read the following and make sure you and your Scout are ready for race day!! Please note the location change: The Pinewood Derby will be held on March 9th, from 9AM - 1PM (See Schedule Below) at St. Mary's Hall (across Maple Ave from OLMC Church). Breakfast is Served!As a result of our excellent fund raising this year, the Pack Leadership has decided to provide a continental breakfast during this year's Pinewood Derby! So, bring your appetites along with your cars! Volunteers NeededIt takes a bit of work to set up and run the Pinewood Derby each year, so we've created a SignUp Genius for the various roles we need to fill: www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4BAFAC22A6F58-pinewood1 2 Volunteers for Friday night (Set up track and Room)
2 Volunteers for each Round for Car Registration (9AM and 11AM) 2 Volunteers for each Round to help with lineup prep and race starting (10AM and 12PM) 2 Volunteers at the end to help with track break down and room clean up (1PM) We also need (if anyone has one) a projector screen and perhaps a microphone that we can use through the event. Pinewood Derby RulesAs in previous years, we will be using the Tohickon District's Pinewood Derby Rules. These rules are available here: http://storage.washingtoncrossingbsa.org/event/docs/1046/pinewood_rules_2018.pdf Some of the key items in the rules to be aware of:
ScheduleAs previously indicated, we're going to break up the racing into two rounds this year. In order to race you must register your car before the start of racing for that round. Your car will only race in one round. Here's the schedule for Saturday, March 9: 8AM - Setup 9AM - Registration Opens for Tiger and Wolf Dens 10AM - Registration for Tiger and Wolf Dens closes; Racing Starts 11AM - Registration Opens for Bears, Webelos, and Arrow of Light; Tiger and Wolf Den Trophies 12PM - Registration Closes; Racing Starts 1PM - Racing Ends; Bear, Webelos, and AoL Trophies Clean up and Break Down If your Scout cannot race with their Den, they may register and race in the other round, however they may not end up eligible for the Fastest Car trophy in their Den. RegistrationPlease make sure you arrive with time before your racing starts to register your Scout's car. Registration will consist of entering info (Scout Name, Den, etc) as well as verification that the car meets the requirements (weight/size) in order to race.
If any adjustments are needed, they will need to be made before registration closes and racing begins. Once a car is registered, it will no longer be accessible by the Scout until racing concludes. Top FinishersThe Fastest Car in Each Den will receive a trophy. The Best Looking Car in Each Round (10-11, 12-1) will receive a car. Judging for this award will be independent (and generally done by the Den Chiefs, if in attendance). The top 3 Fastest Cars from each Den will be eligible to go on to the District Pinewood Derby, which is scheduled for Sunday, March 24th (in the morning before our Blue & Gold Banquet). Registration for this will need to be completed on the 10th, so eligible Scouts will be contacted later on the 9th to confirm attendance at the District race. Looking forward to a great day of fun racing!!
