About Pinewood Derby Days
Welcome to Our Seventh Annual Pinewood Derby Days!
2024-25 Season
Michael’s Woodshop has a well-defined process for Cub Scouts to create their pinewood derby cars. The process begins with a safety briefing and is designed for Cub Scouts to be hands on throughout the process. At the end of their session, Cub Scouts will leave Michael’s Woodshop with a paint ready car.
Early Season Discounts Apply for Sessions Held Before Dec 31

How to Participate
Open Registration Sessions
Our open registration sessions are designed to provide individual Cub Scouts or small groups with the opportunity to design and build their cars. Cub Scout age siblings are welcome to participate. Sessions will open for registration beginning on September 1. Session dates are subject to change before registration begins.
Individualized Sessions
We are happy to accommodate youth who require more individualized assistance. Please email our volunteers at PinewoodDerby.CWBS@gmail.com for more information.
Schedule Your Own Pack or Den Session
We offer Full Pack Sessions (up to 4 hrs./18 to 28 Cub Scouts), 1/2 Pack Sessions (up to 2 hours/10 to 16 Cub Scouts) and Den Sessions (up to 2 1/2 hrs./6 to 10 Cub Scouts – weeknights only). Please see our fee schedule for pricing (including our early season discounts).
