  • Pinewood Derby Build Day this Saturday

    Lions,   Pinewood Derby Build Day is this Saturday at the church! Build Day offers an opportunity for families to pick out a design, re-drill axel holes (if desired), cut and sand your car, and polish your axels and wheels. The goal is to get your cars to where all our scouts would need to do at home is paint and finishing touches. Build Day is open to all our Cub Scouts but is especially helpful for those without the proper tools and/or know-how.    To help with the flow of traffic between stations we request you sign up for a time slot. Time slots are 1.5hr long and begin every 30min starting at 8am. Please use the signup genius here: Cub Scouts: Pinewood Derby…
