Pinewood Derby

As the Bear Den leader, Dad was in charge of the Pack Pinewood Derby this year.  So there was a lot of work to be done.  One thing that helped was Poppy working with Sam to design and cut his car.  Dad helped with the car's wheel assembly.  Here is the final car.  It weighed in at 5.1 ounces, so they had to drill a small circle out of the bottom at the weigh-in:

Sam was delighted to finish in 2nd place for the entire Pack.  There was a bit of a mistake with the trophy (which you may notice below), but they got it corrected:

The event went off great.  The only issue was when Dad was loading the derby track back into the attic, and ended up with a hernia that would require some surgery.  It is time to find someone else who can store the track next year!
