Warwick-based Cub Scout Pack 4177 held its annual Pinewood Derby on Saturday, February 8 at Wickham Woodland Manor. According to the organizers, over 30 scouts and siblings participated in the event.
Racers first construct a car out of a block of pine that must weigh five ounces or less. They then race their cars down a four-lane, 40-foot track, reaching incredible speeds. Awards are given to the top three cars for each Den, with the first-place cars vying against each other in the Pack Grand Finals. This year’s Grand Champion was Zachary Packer.
