Pinewood Derby roars into Sonoma on Jan. 19

‘Fun and chaotic’ annual event open to all.|

Cub Scout Pack 16 is hosting Sonoma’s annual Pinewood Derby from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the LDS Church at 16280 La Grama Drive.

“This is a fun and chaotic event with lots of kids and parents, both within scouting and the public,” said Scout leader Rich Crumley.

Scouts build and design wooden blocks into small cars that can be raced down a 25 foot premade track.

The fastest cars win awards.

“We encourage everyone to attend to learn more about Scouting,” added Crumley. “We work to instill in our Scouts loyalty, helpfulness, friendliness, bravery, reverence, thriftiness and kindness. Good lessons for all.”

Scholarships to cover any costs of Scout participation are available.
