Pinewood Derby

This was Ben's first year at the Pinewood Derby. He got his kit from the Scout leader a couple months ago. It took him a while to decide on a design for his car, but decided on a pretty cool one. His dad helped him cut it out on the ban saw, then he got to work sanding it, painting, and finally decorating it. We got to the Derby and he had to check in and get his car weighed. After that, we waited until his turn to race. He did so well and was only beaten in one heat! When the winners were announced for the different categories, Ben placed first in the community choice. This was where all the adults that came had to look at all the cars and pick their favorite. Ben also won the trophy for fastest overall car! We are so proud of him, and he was proud of himself!
