The pinewood derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scout. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scout make with help from their families. Then they race the cars in competition. the cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. Most packs have a pinewood derby every year. It can be run indoors or outside. Every boy can design and build his own "grand prix" car to enter in the race.
