Pinewood Derby

The first pinewood derby was held on May 15, 1953 at the Scout House in Manhattan Beach, California by Cub Scout Pack 280C, (present day Pack 713).  The concept was created by the Pack's Cubmaster Don Murphy.  The pinewood derby is a racing event for unpowered, unmanned miniature cars. With the help of adults, Scouts build their own cars from wood, from kits containing a block of pinewood, plastic wheels and metal axles.
