2026 Pinewood Derby

Posted on Jan 11 2026 - 12:49pm

Our 2026 Pinewood Derby website and registration are now live.  Take a look at the site for photos of last year's winners. 

We will have a design and strategy session at our January 21st pack meeting.  Kits will be distributed at the end of the meeting.  Weigh-in is exactly 4 weeks later.  If you would like to get a head start on your car, you can pick up a kit from the Del Rey office during office hours.

If you have a workshop at home with a band saw (or larger scroll saw) and are willing to host sessions where scouts can sign up to have you (or one of us) rough-cut their wood, please let us know.  We are looking for a location to host this year's workshops.

Scouting For Food: Part 2

Posted on Nov 12 2025 - 6:19pm

Scouting for Food Part Two will be held this Saturday, rain or shine.  We will meet at 9 am at Del Rey for a brief safety talk and to form new groups with scouts who did not attend Part One. Then we will head out into our assigned sections.

Each group will need a driver who can slowly drive along while the bags of food are collected and placed in the trunk.  You can use a wagon and collect on foot, but wagons can fill up, so a car is recommended.  Collections will be brought back to Del Rey.

T-shirts were distributed at the campout, we have t-shirts set aside for those that did not attend the campout, they will be passed out at the next pack meeting.  If your scout was at the campout and did not get a T-shirt, please let us know so we can set one aside.

If you need to exchange t-shirt sizes, please let us know as we have extras in all sizes.

If you would like to buy extra T-shirts, we have a couple of adult shirts and several kid sizes available.
