Pinewood Derby was a RACE TO EXCELLENCE

Second Annual Derby Nets Excitement for All Ages

Once again Pack 285 felt the need for speed!  Contestants competed with one another as well as against the clock to achieve record speeds.

Amana Academy hosted the 2nd Annual Pack 285 Pinewood Derby this past weekend. Each year our cars get better looking as well as more efficient on the track. This year even the sibling cars sported a good deal more flair. Reports from the track this year included that scouts did a better job attaching wheels (Who can forget last year and the Flying Wheels of Death?!) and weighing their cars for faster speeds on the gravity track.

Awards were given out for a wide variety of design categories as well as at the den and pack levels.

Thank you to Mr. Jaleel, Executive Director, Amana Academy for judging this year's competition. Thank you also to the teachers and staff of Amana Academy who honored the final wishes of a recently passed colleague by making a financial donation to Pack 285 in her memory.
