Help your Scouts Fundraise! 

As you may have heard there is not going to be a Scout Fair event in 2021, but coupon book sales are still going on!

For 2021 a fully DIGITAL sale is happening now! 

Scouts can sell a $20 coupon membership to friends and family nationwide. The coupon membership is valid at big name stores, available by zip code, AND are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. Units earn 35% commission on every sale (no deadlines to meet like the 5%, 3%, and 1% we have had in the past). 

Unit Leaders DO NOT have to manage books/ handle cash/ or maintain Scout selling records, all that is done ONLINE! 

Attached is a flyer you can share with your families.

This Saturday, please check in at your scheduled time or earlier since lines get long toward the end of check-in.  Early Check in at 9:46 AM, Bears and Webelos 10:13 AM, Tiger Cubs and Wolves 11:04 AM, Check In Closes at 11:46 AM.   Judging starts at 11:46am, Races start at 12:33 PM

The church (14225 Hargrave Road) is setup to live stream to youtube this year for people that want to drop off their car and watch remotely (including remote grandparents/family members, etc.).  This is the link to the livestream:  https://youtu.be/FwLt8mHV98E

This year lunch will not be sold and we recommend that you go to eat lunch after you check-in and before the race starts.  You can bring lunch to eat in the outside picnic area. The Cash-only concessions will only sell snacks - chips/cookies/coke/sprite/water (all individually wrapped from the store).  Please only consume foods outside of the gym/sanctuary area. 

Please bring chairs, masks, and the covid pre-screening and youtube disclaimer form (attached).  Also attached is a map of the church complex. 

For those individuals that like to wait in the long lines which happen at the end of check-in (11:15-11:46am),  the church has blue tape marking off 6ft intervals when you enter so you can social distance. 

We need volunteers - especially for the pit area during the race and people to transport the cars during check in. Please see Mark if you would like to volunteer.

Please see attached for the full list of pinewood derby rules that our pack follows*. 

The 3 Key rules that must be followed:

1) All cars must be less then or equal to 5oz.

2) All cars must meet length, width, height requirements.  Pay close attention bottom clearance of 3/8in where we run into issues each year. 

3) BSA axles, BSA wheels, and BSA body wood from the BSA kit must be used to be eligible for scout trophies.   If there were any substitutions, please inform the check in person and you/your scout can still race in the "open/adult" division but just not be eligible for trophies.  We give 1st-3rd place metals in the open/adult division instead of trophies.     

*Please note -  Over the years people have submitted part modifications and since we do not want to turn anyone away we have allowed them to still race in the open/adult division as long as they meet weight and dimension requirements.
