The Pinewood Derby is a race of handmade cars down a sloped track, propelled only by gravity.
The first Pinewood Derby was held May 15, 1953, in Manhattan Beach, California, according to Scout Life magazine. Boy Scouts of America first published about the event in a BSA publication in a 1954 issue of Boysâ Life magazine.
Since then, many Cub Scout packs have put the event on their annual calendars.
In Copperas Cove, Mason Juhan has been with the Cub Scouts for two years and was this yearâs winner for his entire pack and overall winner of the Pinewood Derby 2021.
