Pinewood Derby Rules and Guidance
This year the Flintlock district of the Spirit of Adventure Council has made significant changes to the pinewood derby rules regarding building a car and the process during which it is inspected. This was done to ease the burden on parents making a race ready car and address district champion cars that didn't pass inspection at the national pinewood derby championship in New York last year. Attached are the official rules we will be following this year.  |
