Please remember to bring your rockets if you intend to build them. We will be launching our rockets at the Blue & Gold Picnic on Saturday.

Hello Cub Pack 375,

The pine wood derby is being held this Saturday, February 13th at:

Cardington-Stonehurst Fire Company <– Click For Directions
350 Harrison Avenue
Upper Darby, PA 19082
610-352-1088

You should plan to arrive at 12PM for check in and car inspection. Racing will begin promptly at 1PM.  There will be pizza and juice available for all attendees after the event.

Friday’s den meeting will be the only meeting to finalize the cars before the race. You should try to install your weights and wheels prior to this meeting if possible. Otherwise there will be assistance to help you with these final procedures at Friday’s den meeting. I highly recommend trying to do it before hand, as you will have limited time on Friday evening, and there is no garuantee that Mr. G will be able to get to you to help with your car.

If you still have yet to CUT the shape of the car out, please contact Mr. Fuiman at (610) 996-0725 or rfuiman@wescott.com ASAP.

Please contact your Den Leaders if there are any questions. Den leaders contact e mails are listed at: http://www.dhcubpack375.org/?page_id=32

Hello Pack 375,

We just got word from Mr. Fuiman that the following events are being cancelled and rescheduled due to the pending snow storm.

* Friday, February 5th Den Meeting (TONIGHT)

* Saturday, February 6th Candy Sale @ Super Fresh

* Saturday, Februrary 6th Wings Lacross Game

The above events have been CANCELLED due to the pending snow storm. All of the above events will be RESCHEDULED – further notice will be sent out as we recieve the new schedule. The tickets that you have purchased for tomorrow night’s Wings Lacrosse game WILL BE VALID for the rescheduled game.

The pinewood derby is still ON SCHEDULE for Saturday, February 13th. Please continue to work on your cars at home during the week, as next Friday’s Den meeting will be the final chance to make any last minute changes.  Your car should be in a “raceable” condition when you bring to Friday’s den meeting (meaning all of the wheels are on and working, etc).   The purpose of Friday’s den meeting is to finalize the weight of the car, and other minor adjustments similiar.

We will TRY to setup a meeting during the week to help get the wheels/axles/weights on the car, but this will NOT be definite – so please work on the car at home yourself as much as possible.

****DEN LEADERS****

Attention Den Leaders: PLEASE CALL EACH MEMBER OF YOUR DEN ASAP to confirm the cancellations with them.

****DEN LEADERS****

Enjoy the snow – and stay warm!

Hello Cub Pack 375!

Hi All,

If anyone has a dremel w/attachment, would it be possible for you to bring it to and share it with the pack for the pinewood derby car building this Friday? It would be best if we could have a few dremels, so if you have more than one and are willing to bring it and let us use it, we would appreciate it.

Anyone with some basic wood working hand tools are encouraged to bring them as well, such as files, sanding blocks, etc.

We WILL have a scale available to weigh in the cars at this meeting.

Parents – a reminder – A PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST STAY WITH the scout while it is their den’s turn to use the power tools. Even though Mr. G will be operating the power tools himself, the parent/guardian MUST stay with the scout for safety reasons.

Please also have your scouts have their car design idea ready, and drawn on a peice of paper if possible so that we can efficiently cut the cars on Friday evening. This Friday is the ONLY den meeting where we will have use of the power band saw and power sanders.  If you are unable to make this, you will be responsible for cutting & shaping the car on your own. It is NOT mandatory to have your cars cut at this event. If you have access to the tools yourself, feel free to work on it on your own – but please ensure you follow the rules & regulations posted at:  http://www.pinewoodpro.com/pinewood-derby-cars-rules.htm

Here is a good link on the in’s & out’s of building a Pinewood Derby car for first timers: http://www.abc-pinewood-derby.com/design-pinewood-derby-car.htm

And here are some sample designs of completed pinewood derby cars: http://www.abc-pinewood-derby.com/pinewood-car-designs.htm

****There are still FOUR (4) extra tickets available for the Wings’ lacrosse game on February 6th, at 7PM at the Wachovia center.  If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact Mr. Chiaffa at 610-348-6569. Tickets are $23 a person, and includes a ticket to the game, a soda, a hot dog, and a patch for the scout (if applicable).****
