Pinewood Derby

Submitted by tlogan on December 19, 2008 - 9:13am


At roundtable I told you to really downplay the competitive aspect of the PWD and to make it more about the time spent between scout & adult. I just received an email message asking for the rules for the PWD and I dug out the letter I sent to parents of our pack last year. I have attached it here in case anyone would like to use it but what I wanted to point out is this paragraph...


Quote:
The ultimate purpose of the Pinewood Derby is to aid in the development of a parent and son (or comparable type team). It is not the winning that counts; but, the experience gained from the team work of building that unique car. Therefore, character building is the main emphasis of the pinewood derby event(s). Please keep that in mind as you and your scout prepare for the big race.


That can't be stated often enough. Every time you make "announcements" about the PWD, you should remind the boys and (especially) the adults why they're doing the PWD and that as Scouts they should show good sportsmanship. Even on the day of the PWD, make a big deal about the boys all being winners because they got to spend time with someone special working on their car. That's the most important part. And no matter what happens in the races - win or lose - you are proud of them for what they've done.

CUB SCOUT ROUNDTABLE 1st PINEWOOD DERBY

Submitted by admin on December 1, 2008 - 11:45pm


CUB SCOUT ROUNDTABLE 1st PINEWOOD DERBY
RACE FOR ADULT SCOUTERS

Now is your chance! Come to the December Cub Scout Roundtable and race your very own car. Race for fastest car, or slowest car (car must cross the finish line). Any questions contact Darcy Logan at darcy [at] theloganfamily [dot] net or 355-6108


WHAT IS ROUNDTABLE you ask? Roundtable is for ALL adult scout leaders (and parents). Cub Scout leader roundtables are held monthly (2nd Thursday of each month) on a district basis. Den and pack leaders join for fun and fellowship while learning new tricks, stunts, games, crafts, ceremonies, songs, and skits related to the Cub Scout theme and Webelos activity badges for the following month. There are also opportunities for sharing ideas and activities with leaders from other packs.


Cub Scouting roundtables are a form of supplemental training for volunteers at the pack level. The objective of roundtables is to give pack leaders program ideas; information on policy, events, and training opportunities; and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Cub Scouting leaders. Your roundtable commissioner and staff demonstrate elements of a model meeting that leaders may use as a pattern for their own den and pack meetings as well as committee meetings. As a result of your roundtable experience, you and your leaders will be inspired, motivated, and able to provide a stronger program for their Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts.


Hope to see you December 11th!


Darcy Logan
Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner
