The purpose of racing in the Pinewood Derby is great fun. The Cub Scouts design their own racing vehicle, work with a parent to build it, and see it perform on race day. Win or lose, the boys take pride in having done their best. When a boy races in a Cub Scout derby, he learns craft skills, the rules of fair play, and good sportsmanship—things he will remember for life. For more information about scouting events or to find out about local scout troops please visit beascout.org or Angela Marmaras Membership@WhiteOakDistrict.Org.

The Cub Scout program is a fun and educational experience, concerned with values. The goal of Cub Scouts is to provide a positive place where boys can enjoy wholesome activities in a safe environment. Scouting focuses on teaching practical skills, improving physical fitness, building character and developing a spirit of community service.
