Introduction

This handbook is provided to acquaint parents and guardians of Cub Scouts with the Pack 702 scouting program and explain what is expected of scouts and adults.

Dick Caruso started pack 702 in 1983. The Pack is sponsored by Mt. Zion United Methodist Church under the Boy Scouts of America Chartered Partner Concept, whereby community organizations select and approve Cub Scout pack committees and leaders.

Pack 702 scouts are from the Howard County area with our recruiting emphasis on Pointers Run Elementary School in Clarksville. The Pack is part of a continuing scouting program, which includes Boy Scout Troop 702 and Explorer Post 702. Though related, the boys are not obligated to go to these Troop and Posts. They generally spend the first half of their second year as WEBELOS to decide which Troop they will be joining after completing WEBELOS.

This handbook will provide an overview of the program. If you have questions or concerns about our program or leaders, please call on a pack leader (the Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Chartered Organization Representative, or Committee Chairperson) or your son’s den leader.

Cub Scouting Objectives

Pack 702 attempts to provide a positive influence on our youth’s values, character, leadership skills, citizenship training and fitness, and to help our young people grow and mature.

Pack 702 is very active with a pack meeting and a pack event every month. As an examination of our current program will indicate, we believe that Cub Scouting should provide both new experiences and fun.

Cub Scouting also offers an opportunity for families to grow closer together. All too soon our youth will reach young adulthood. Adults must realize that time must be set aside now to help nurture our youth to become responsible adults.

While the scout's den and its leaders are the beginning threads of scouting, the involvement of brothers, sisters and parents or guardians at home, as well as in pack meetings and other activities, is essential to complete the fabric of scouting.

Pack Structure

Like every effective organization, Cub Scout packs have a structure, see Figure 1. Understanding this structure and how it works will increase your son's enjoyment of the program (and leave the parent far less confused!)

Dens

Groups of 5 to 9 boys meet weekly or bi-weekly as a Den. A Den Leader and an Assistant Den Leader lead each den. A Boy Scout, known as a Den Chief, may also work with your son’s den.

Dens in Pack 702 arrange their own schedules, usually meeting only during the school year, but not limited to this. If the boys are getting something out of it and enjoying it, why stop.

Dens are organized by age groups. The Cub Scout ranks are listed below.

Grade 1:	Tiger	Tiger Cubs is an introductory level to Cub Scouts. They are encouraged to fully participate in all Pack 702 activities.
Grade 2:	Wolf	The first rank in Cub Scouts.
Grade 3:	Bear	The second year in Cub Scouts.
Grade 4:	Webelos	A transitional level to Boy Scouts.

Wolf, Bear and Webelos requirements do not require completion of the preceding rank, although all new scouts must first pass the Bobcat requirements. The requirements for each rank are contained in Wolf, Bear, or Webelos handbooks that each scout should own. Boy Scouts begin at

the end of Grade 5.

Figure 1

Pack

The Pack consists of the dens and their families. Pack 702 meets monthly (almost always on a Friday evening) at Mt. Zion Church and for special activities, outings, or programs. The Pack serves as a "parent" organization to the dens and provides direction, program support, and maintenance of the budget. The Cubmaster who plans and directs monthly pack meetings and other special activities leads the Pack.

Pack Committee

The Pack Committee consists of representatives from each den and other volunteer adults who are charged with managing the pack and its programs. Parents are encouraged to volunteer to serve on the committee and attend regular meetings. Meeting dates are shown on the Pack calendar. The Pack Committee Chair leads the group in planning and organizing the Pack program. The Committee is also responsible for maintaining pack funds and planning its budget.

The Scout Year

The typical scout year runs from May 1^st through April 30^th. Usually, there are two Pack activities planned for each month. Also, at the beginning of the new scout year a Pack calendar for the rest of the summer and all of the following school year will be published. The Pack works from this calendar.

Registration

Registration for membership in Pack 702 covers national BSA dues, an annual subscription to Boy's Life, unit insurance, many pack activities, and awards/supplies given to each scout throughout the year. Scouts must complete a BSA registration form to be submitted with the following fees:

Tiger Cubs $40

Wolf & Bear Scouts $40

Webelos Scouts $40

Pack Activities

Pack 702 plans a very busy calendar year. Although we don't expect every boy to attend every function, we encourage all Scouts to be as active as he (and his parents) wants to be. Two or more leaders and parent volunteers will lead pack outings and special events. Typical Pack activities include campfires, family camping trips, hikes, bike trips, as well as activities of an

educational or community service nature. A boat regatta (where boys race boats they built by blowing them along a rain gutter filled with water) is usually held annually, and the popular Pinewood Derby (where boys race cars they cut out of pine blocks) is held in January.

Our pack and Cub Scout packs all over the US celebrate Scouting's birthday each February by hosting a Blue & Gold Banquet. Families are invited to join in the celebration with food, fun, awards, and special presentations.

Our local council (Baltimore Area Council) and our district (National Pike District) schedule several events. These activities will be added to our pack calendar as they are scheduled. Some district and council activities in which we generally participate include the District Fishing Derby, Klondike Derby, Cub Olympics, Webelos-O-Ree camping, Mall Show at Columbia Mall, Scouting

for Food, and the Bike Rodeo.

Uniforms

An essential component of Cub Scouting is the uniform. Cubs are made to feel part of a group and have a place to display their hard-earned awards when they wear their uniforms.

Tiger Cubs, Wolf Cubs, and Bear Cubs wear the blue uniform shirt, while Webelos Scouts will wear the blue uniform shirt their first year and change to the tan BSA uniform shirt upon becoming Senior WEBELOS. One uniform inspection will be held each program year.

Our pack's official uniform consists of the uniform shirt, belt, appropriate hat, neckerchief, and slide. We do not require official uniform pants; however, we encourage dark blue jeans or pants rather than sweats or some other casual attire. Cub scouts buy their own uniform, including council patch, pack and den numerals, neckerchief and slide, and handbook (if planned for, the Pack has provided the handbook). The Pack provides badges and awards. At the end of each scouting year, boys who are advancing to the next rank will be given their new neckerchief, slide, and handbook by the pack. More information about the uniform and where it can be purchased is included at the end of this handbook.

Two - Deep Leadership Is Always Required

Den meetings, trips, and outings may never be led by only one adult. Two registered adult leaders, or one registered adult leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21, are required for all activities.

Fund Raising

Once each year in the Fall, the Scouts of Pack 702 participate in fund raising activities. We sell "Trail's End Gourmet Popcorn" in the community, both in pack-arranged booth sales and by each scout individually. Prizes are awarded to top sellers and top selling dens. Funds raised from this

activity go to defray Pack program expenses. All boys are encouraged to participate, but parents may choose to make a direct donation of $35 instead of participating in the popcorn sales.

Pack Leadership

These positions help keep the Pack running smoothly throughout the year. They make up what we call the "Committee." Also included on the Committee on a month-by-month basis are those who have volunteered to do a Pack activity or are directing the Den or Pack meeting.

Committee Chairperson - Coordinates the monthly committee meetings, makes sure the respective volunteers plan the activities, and takes care of the general pack paperwork. Requires about 8 hours a month and attendance at the Roundtable meetings.

Cubmaster - Leads each Pack meeting. Encourages advancement, attends random Den meetings if possible, backs up the Committee Chairperson. Requires about 5 hours per month.

Treasurer - Keeps the financial books, writes checks and prepares budget for the year. Requires 1 meeting a month and 1 hour.

Advancement Chair - Keeps records of advancing scouts, mailing in records to council after each Pack meeting. Maintains an inventory of awards. Requires 5 hours monthly except February, which may take slightly more.

Den Leader - This is the most demanding position in Cub Scouting. It requires meeting with a group of six to eight boys three hours a month with weekly or biweekly meetings. There are many program helps to guide you. Many dens spread the responsibility for organizing specific den meetings among all parents. It also requires both a Committee and Pack meeting a month. Time: 10 hours monthly.

Chartered Organization Representative - Acts as Pack liaison with Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. Secures Church facilities for Pack program after the May-June planning meeting.

Other Positions - Various other leadership positions include a Webmaster, Newsletter Editor, Recruitment coordinator, Popcorn coordinator, Blue and Gold Dinner coordinator, Cub Scout Summer Day Camp coordinator, and other Pack monthly activity coordinators (see "Volunteer Handbook for Pack Activities" section.

Pack Communication

In the last couple of years, Pack 702 has relied heavily on the Pack Email list in the YAHOO groups. Individuals sign up for this listing themselves.

Our pack currently has a private email list to encourage communication among pack families and to provide information about upcoming activities. As a large and active pack, this is the easiest way for pack families and dens to stay in touch and for pack leadership to share information during the time between pack meetings. It is essential that pack families provide an email address to be part of this important process.

Adult Responsibility

Scouting is a program of youth development carried out under competent VOLUNTEER adult leaders. The success of Pack 702 hinges on mandatory adult support.

Because of the concern over child abuse, it is Boy Scouts of America policy that a minimum of two unrelated adults must be present at all times during any Pack or Den meeting or with any individual scouts. Parents or guardians should satisfy themselves that this policy is strictly observed and may be called upon to remain present at gatherings in order to help the Pack comply

with this requirement. There are no exceptions to this policy. Meetings will be cancelled if two unrelated adults are not present.

Adults should read their son's Wolf, Bear, or Webelos scout book and help with their son's advancement and achievements.

While the Pack understands that boys are involved with many other activities, we expect parents and guardians to attend with their scouts as many Pack 702 functions as possible. When your scout is committed to an activity, fees are payable whether or not the scout attends.

All interested adults are invited to attend the monthly Committee meetings. These meetings are held at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church on the Tuesday following the second Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m.

The Pack and its Dens are not day-care operations. Parents and guardians should not routinely drop their scouts off at Pack or Den functions without inquiring about how they can help. Adults are expected to exercise supervision over siblings who may be present at any scout function.

IN PARTICULAR, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS ARE EXPECTED TO HELP MAINTAIN PEACE, QUIET, AND ORDER DURING ALL PACK MEETINGS. When leaders show the scout sign, scouts as well as adults are expected to be silent. Adults should demonstrate proper behavior for the scouts by remaining attentive to persons speaking to the group or leading pack

activities.

In the past, a few Pack volunteers have expressed concern that some adults may not understand that all adults are expected to assist the Pack. A parent or guardian of each scout is expected to eventually assume either an administrative or uniformed position within the Pack, or be responsible for planning Pack activities each program year.

Training sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America is available for those interested in the more active positions. Keep in mind that each year the most experienced leaders move on into Boy Scouts, so there is constant attrition and turnover in the adult leadership positions.

Discipline Policy

This policy has been developed to provide guidance to Pack adults and the Committee in dealing with misbehavior by the Cub Scout. The policy informs parents and guardians of what to expect and instructs Pack Leaders on how to proceed. For purposes of implementing this policy the term "Leader" applies to any adult in charge of any portion of a Cub Scout program or activity.

The following shall apply to all Pack and Den functions regardless of the nature and severity of the discipline problem:

When parents and guardians are present they are responsible for the discipline of their children.

When a Cub Scout requires correction which is not immediately provided by his parent or guardian, the adult leader may reprimand the Cub Scout directly or through the parent or guardian.

A parent or guardian should accompany a Cub at the Pack meetings. If this is not possible, the family will find another family to be responsible for the Cub and siblings present at the meeting.

Any abuse of property due to vandalism will be brought to the attention of the parents or guardians of the Cub responsible for the damage, who will be expected to pay any necessary expenses resulting from the damage.

Significant Misconduct Policy

This policy applies to significant misconduct on the part of a Cub Scout. It is not intended to cover routine scolding, which is required from time to time and addressed above. Under most circumstances the Pack or Den Leader present will determine whether to follow these guidelines or handle the instance as prescribed above.

It is not possible to itemize what is considered significant misconduct. For purpose of clarification the following are offered as examples:

Leaving a pack activity without an adult or permission.

Directly disobeying any Pack Leader, Den Leader or individual in authority.

When a leader decides that such misconduct has occurred he or she will:

For the first occurrence the Leader present will notify the family immediately. The infraction will be reported to the Committee Chairperson and recorded.

Upon receiving a second report, the Committee Chairperson will request the presence of the parents or guardians at the next Committee meeting to discuss the two instances.

The Committee will deal with subsequent significant misconduct. Possible options range from requiring parental or guardian presence at all Scout functions to removal of the Cub from the Pack.

Cutting Implement Policy

General

There will never be an instance where a Cub will need to have an axe, hatchet, saw or other such tool. Therefore such tools are not to be brought to Cub Scout activities.

Knives

The following guidelines will be strictly followed:

1. In order to bring a knife to a Cub Scout function the Cub must have the rank of Bear and have earned his "Whittlin - Chip" Card.

2. He must carry the Whittlin - Chip Card while in possession of the knife.

3. Any authorized Den or Pack Leader can take this Card and the right to carry the knife away if the knife is misused.

4. Cubs may not bring knives to Cub Scout activities without permission of the Cub Scout Leader in charge.

5. Sheath knives are strictly prohibited.

6. In the camping environment, the Den Leader or other leader will set up designated Knife area, roped off for safety. The boys will implement the ‘blood circle’ rules, whereby the boy will stick his arm straight out to his side and rotate 360 degrees and clear that space of any other person prior to opening his pocket knife.

Other Policies

1. The use of alcohol or controlled substances at Cub Scout functions is prohibited.

2. Smoking is not advised at Cub Scout functions. If you must smoke, please leave the Cub Scout function.

3. During any pack outings, each scout must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

4. At Family Camp out, Cub Scouts and siblings are not permitted to occupy a tent with non-related adults. If Cub Scouts need to share a tent, adults should occupy a separate tent. Additional tents are available on loan from Boy Scout Troop 702.

Camping Trips

Pack 702 normally conducts two family camping trips per year, one in the fall and one in the late spring. At least one parent or guardian must accompany each scout. Entire families are encouraged to attend. Each trip is usually for one night, with camp set up Saturday afternoon and cleanup Sunday morning. A common meal is set up by the Pack for Saturday dinner and Sunday Breakfast. A small fee is charged to cover the camping and food expenses, and an effort is made to try to find well-equipped campgrounds within a reasonable driving distance of our local area.

Boy Scouts of America does not generally sanction family camping for scouts below the rank of Webelos at non-BSA campgrounds. If the Scouting program does not sanction a camping trip, for purposes of insurance coverage and legal liability it is not considered a pack activity. Pack leaders

are presenting this event as an opportunity for families to camp as a group. Parents will be responsible for the safety of their children, and will not hold our pack or the BSA liable for any injury that may occur. In case of accident or injury, families will be covered under their own personal insurance.

The policy for any Pack 702 activities involving campfires will be as follows:

No child will be allowed to play in the campfire area. Of particular concern is the popular activity of holding sticks in the fire until they are burning, and then swinging them around or poking at people/ objects. If a child is seen doing this, the stick will be taken away and they will be warned not to do it again. If it happens a second time, they will have a 5-minute timeout with their parent.

Any additional difficulties with following the safety rules will result in the child being asked to leave the campfire area for the rest of the evening. Leaders will be strictly enforcing these rules. However, we ask that any parent observing unsafe behavior speak up and stop the activity, and then find a leader for assistance.

General Safety Rules for Camping Activities:

Remember that adequate leadership and supervision help prevent accidents.

Encourage boys to use the buddy system and pair up.

An adult should always supervise when Scouts are building fires and cooking. The use of fuel stoves must be limited to adults.

Always extinguish campfires promptly and never leave the fire unattended.

Always have a fire extinguisher or bucket of water near the fire for emergency purposed (this is a scouting requirement and should be ingrained in our boys)

Family Camping:

BSA Family Camping is an outdoor camping experience that involves Cub Scouting program elements in overnight settings with two or more family members, including the Scout. In other words, in the Family Camping Program EACH Scout must be accompanied by a parent or guardian -- no parent may supervise scouts not in his family.

There are standards for privacy on trips or outings. When tents are used, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other than his or her parent/guardian. If unrelated scouts would like to share a tent, adults should sleep in a different tent(s).

Webelos Overnighters:

Webelos overnighters introduce the scout and his parent to camping under the leadership of the Webelos den leader. In most cases, the scout will be under the supervision of his father or mother. However, if a parent can't attend, arrangements must be made by the boy's family for another youth’s parents or another adult relative or friend (not the den leader) to be a substitute at the campout.

It is essential that each scout be under the supervision of an adult, and no adult may supervise more than one unrelated scout. Siblings will not be allowed on Webelos camping trips. The Webelos den leader or the tour leader will require a written explanation of any such arrangements in advance of the camping trip.

Volunteer Handbook For Pack Activities

Purpose of Volunteer Handbook

In an effort to lure more volunteers from the crowd, this handbook has been written to facilitate planning for our yearly activities. Each section describes a particular month's activity and the little bit of effort required by a few select, lucky, and brilliant individuals to pull the thing off!

Recommendations

At the annual planning meeting, have a new copy of each section of this manual ready, and hand them over to the responsible Pack Leader as the responsibilities get doled out.

Display this manual at all Pack Meetings. Anyone who volunteers to coordinate an activity, without being asked, should be given the activity requested…and then they should be immediately considered for one of the available leadership positions in the Pack!

Advertise the usefulness of this manual and its availability often.

Helpful comments by former Pack Summer Camp Coordinator…

In March make announcements to pack at meetings and by email about the registration process. An initial list was obtained and submitted to the District's Camp Coordinator with some basic information. The list was due in early April. Part of the job was to begin soliciting volunteers as well.

In April, the registration forms needed to be filled out on the computer and emailed to the Pack Summer Camp Coordinator. Hard copies were also due along with the appropriate checks. Forwarded all the registration forms by email to the camp coordinator and hand carried the registration forms along with a single check from the pack to the District Coordinator.

Pack coordinator needs to make sure that we have enough volunteers. The den assignments were made by the District Camp Coordinator and the Pack's coordinator makes sure that everyone receives their assignments.

Basically, it wasn't too bad of a job but it involved a lot of phone calls to explain the process and to bug people to turn in their forms and checks.

Helpful comments by former Rain Gutter Regatta Coord.:

Make an announcement, at the last Pack meeting, about the upcoming regatta in August. Make sure that we have the church booked (PCC did this). In July, Sent a pack email and had the dens collect money and numbers of boats needed. Boats were distributed in early August. I did not have a committee in advance but I did enlist several den leaders to run stations at the regatta. I had 4 stations - the boat races, a water game, a relay games, and food - we did pudding cones and punch. I kept it low key and non-competitive. Set up began an hour beforehand and that was plenty of time to get the gutters down.

Another Regatta Coord. had this plan:

Name	Supplies	Description of activity
Games	TBS	Badminton and Horseshoes
	Pie tin washer toss (Wolf Elective #4B)	Each player takes turns tossing 5 washers at a pie tin. Score 1 point for each washer that stays in the pan.

Pinewood Derby Computer Guide

The key to this program is to know the sequence of events. The pack roster is used to build the database.

There is a program on the PC called HYPERTERMINAL. Once the racetrack is configured and the sensors are hooked up I would recommend starting HYPERTERMINAL. Select a new connection using COM1, no parity, 1 stop bit and 9600 Baud. You will have a white screen. Recycle the power on the JUDGE. Make sure the computer wires are hooked up to the Judge where it says the computer should be hooked up. You could then run a simulated race proving the connection to the racetrack.

Once you have the master file you open Derby Master (DM) and import that master file. We recommend combining the Webelos as a single unit, so there will be 4 categories: Webelos, Bear, Wolf and Tiger. Once in the master you need to go to the finish line button on the top of the screen. You will need to select "The Judge". I would also recommend changing the track length to 30 feet. Go to the Track tab and select 6 lanes and 6 rounds. This makes sure that everyone races in every lane.

Once set, hit the SAVE button on the top. This will save the MASTER file with the defaults you want to have. Then you go to the next tab "TRACK" and unmark all the categories you DON'T want. So if you are building the Webelos data you select Webelos and deselect all the rest. This should correspond to all the Webelos registered. Compare the roster and the cars turned in against the number of cars racing. The computer will use dummy cars to fill out the racecars to a multiple of 6. So if there are 14 racers the computer will say 14 racers and a total of 18 cars (4 dummy cars).

At this point I recommend hitting the "Save As" button and select a filename, e.g., "2005 PWD Webelos". Exit out of DM.

Restart DM. Import the MASTER file again. Go to the TRACK tab and unmark all the ranks you don't want included. So you would have the WOLF selected. Confirm that the finish line is still "The Judge" and that you are racing with 6 lanes and 6 rounds. Do another "Save As" and save "2005 PWD Wolf". Do the same for Tigers and Bears. Remember each time to CHECK the finish line to confirm that "The Judge" is selected.

(Now that you have all four files, its race time) In the morning you will want to confirm that you have no last minute entries. If you do you will have to hand enter anyone that is not in the master file. At this point you will also want to delete all the racers that did NOT submit cars.

So you start DM and import the Webelos file. On the first tab scroll to where the Webelos are defined. Please remember that even though this is the Webelos file ALL the scouts will still be on the first sheet. Do not worry. Delete the scouts (just for the current rank you are running with) that did not submit cars. Go to the Track and confirm the number of entries with the actual racecars. Remember that dummy cars will also be racing. Also confirm the finish line is "The Judge". Once you have confirmed the number of entries, select the schedule tab. You will then hit the COMPUTE button. Once it has computed the races, hit the SAVE button. Now would be a good time to print out the schedules.

Now it’s RACE TIME. Hit the race tab and select FULL SCREEN from the top row of icons. You should then see the races at the bottom. You will only see numbers here. So for Round 1 Race 1 there will be 6 cars. Put the 6 on the track and run them. Then it will determine the winner. The race will NOT complete until all 6 cars register. So if you have 1 car stop before crossing the finish line, just wave your hand under the sensor. This will complete the race. MAKE SURE THAT ANY DUMMY CARS ARE SLOW!!! Then you will load the second race, etc.

After all 6 rounds are completed (and the number of races per round is determined by how many cars there are, e.g., 30 cars is 5 races per round), you will want to select STANDINGS. We have always used the total time to select the racers and not the points. I would recommend that you hit options, unselect POINTS, and then hit ok. Click on the Total Time column and it will sort by TOTAL TIME. Then hit the cancel button, then cancel the full screen mode and that will take you back to the race tab. You will see the results here as well. From here you will select the PRINT button on the top and it will print out the winners and their times. Hit the SAVE button. Then exit.

(Its time for the next category like BEARS) Import the BEARS File and viola' you are starting all over.

At the end of the 4 Ranks, there will be a race off of the top 3 from each Rank. 3 Wolves, 3 Webelos, 3 Bears, and 3 Tigers. Exit out of DM. Restart DM. You will have to hand enter the 12 racecar numbers and names. I would not worry about rank, just be consistent with the naming for the 12 cars.

I recommend that you enter them as UNLIMITED. Hit the finish line button and select "The Judge". Go to the track tab. Change the number of lanes to 6 and the rounds to 6. Change the track length. Select the UNLIMITED category and deselect all the other ones. Click on the Schedule tab. Compute the races. Hit the PRINT button to print the schedule. Hit the SAVE button or SAVE AS and save the file somewhere. (Now its time to race again) Follow the instructions as above.

Please remember that the key is "The Judge" for the finish line.

Junior WEBLOS Tradition:

The Junior Webelos will sell Donuts/coffee and Pizza/soda for breakfast & lunch to raise funds to purchase AOL awards for Senior Webelos.

Derby Rules

Participation is open to all Webelos, Bears, Wolves, and Tiger Scouts.

Cars will be inspected during registration for compliance to the specifications listed below. Cars not meeting the specifications will be disqualified during registration unless they can be modified to meet the requirements by the end of weigh-in. No modifications to the cars are allowed after registration. Cars will be impounded overnight and once turned in, only race officials can handle the cars.

The car must have been made during December 2003/January 2004. You may not race cars from previous years.

Cars will be raced by Scout Rank. The computer determines heats and lanes randomly, and is used to determine the scout Rank and overall Pack winners. Racing will be done in heats as determined by the computer. The computer program is specially made for this event and will determine the winner based on placement in heats and lane rotations (if you really want to know, come out and help us).

Specifications:

1. The body in the official BSA Pinewood Derby Kit must be used. Bodies of other materials will be grounds for disqualification. The body may be shaped, hollowed out, or built up from the original block, as long as it meets all other specifications. Any additions to the original body, i.e. steering wheels, drivers, decals, paint, weights, etc., must be firmly attached.

2. The car width at the wheels may not be modified; it must be the same as the original kit. Width must not exceed 2 3/4".

3. The overall length may not exceed 7". Overall height is less than 3 1/2". Ground clearance of the body must be at least 3/8".

4. The wheelbase may not be modified, it must be the same as the slots in the official kit. Either end can be the front or back.

5. Wheels and axles must be from the official kit. No washers, bushings, bearings or springs are allowed. Wheels may be sanded ONLY to remove the flashing due to the molding process. No reduction in width or diameter, or changes in shape are allowed. The judges at weigh-in will disqualify rubbed down/Sanded down tires.

6. The weight of the race-ready car must not exceed five (5) ounces as measured on the official scales during registration.

1. Only dry graphite may be used for lubrication, which must be done outside the church building prior to registration. No spray lubricants (Silicone or Teflon) may be used.

Helpful Comments From 2006 Pinewood Derby

Comments From 2006 Pinewoord Derby Coordinator Bryan Luntz:

1) We went through 16 pizzas and 100 sodas at lunch. We probably could have sold more. Caffeine-free sodas sell much better then caffeinated soda, and there were a bunch of requests for diet sodas (which we didn’t have). Kids love root beer. We made a profit of about 180 dollars, which was given to the Web II’s for AOL awards.
2) Breakfast didn’t sell as well as lunch. We may want to skip that next year. If we do have breakfast, 75 cents per doughnut is too cheap.
3) The Computer engineer should be given the pack roster at least a week before the race, so that he / she can enter the names into the software. That way, the numbers are ready to go before the weigh-in. The computer engineer should show up to weigh-in a little early, so that the weigh-in judges have the numbers to assign.
4) Be sure to have plenty of boxes to keep the cars in at weigh-in. The box tops from printer paper boxes work great.
5) The track is starting to show it’s age, and it really needs to be checked in advance. We found some stripped fasteners while we were setting up the track, and it was too late to do anything about it the night before. Someone was going to pick up some replacements after the race, but I don’t know if they did.
6) We had a heck of a time getting the track sensor to work with the computer. There was lot’s of trial and error; and cable jiggling. Remember that the sensor requires a serial port, and most laptops no longer have them. A serial to USB adapter may be needed. The pack doesn’t own one, but our computer engineer had one. It may actually be time to replace the sensor if they make a newer model.
7) It takes a full two hours to get the track and computer set up.
8) The track uses “hex” screws. It comes with a little hex key, but it’s much better to bring a couple of power screwdrivers with hex bits.
9) The judges for the non-speed awards should plan on a late night. Our judges didn’t leave until 10:30. Judges should bring a digital camera, to take pictures of the winning cars. They should make awards that night. We gave out the awards after the race, but having them on display before the race starts may be better. Saving the awards until last did seem to keep more kids there until the end, however.
10) Someone needs to bring two – five pound barbell weighs to weigh down the track. 4 weights are even better (or two – ten pound weights, I guess).
11) Line up a couple of boy scouts to be car runners (they take the cars from the finish line back up to the starting area).
12) Someone needs to bring a brush to brush off the track occasionally between races.
13) 45 minutes per rank seems just about right for the races.
14) Two long extension cords are needed – one for the computer at the starting line, and another for the sensor at the finish line.
15) Bring plenty of blue painters tape to mark the “danger zone”.
16) The top three prizes should be trophies. They are much cooler then plaques and the kids loved them!
17) The pack leader needs to have plenty of jokes! (Preferably new ones!)

Comments From 2006 Cubmaster Eric Aldrich:

1) Make sure someone brings the up to date pack list.
2) Need stickers with numbers for the cars.
3) You can pre-assign numbers for each boy and have the stickers pre-printed and ready before the weigh in.
4) Mark Salazar has the two digital scales. They might be his personal property. Thus, the pack should consider purchasing two scales.

The annual Father/Son Bake-Off is scheduled for Friday, April 11 at 7:30 at Mt. Zion. This event is our pack's only charitable fund-raising event of the year. The proceeds will be turned over to the Boy Scouts of America, Baltimore Area Council, and will benefit Friends of Scouting.

Each participating scout will bake a cake with his father (sorry, moms, please let the guys handle this one), and decorate it according to one of the following themes:

Best scouting theme

Most patriotic

Best use of decorations

Cake that looks least like a cake

"The scouting theme for the month of April" - see Den Leader

The scouts will vote and ribbons will be awarded for the each of the above categories, as well as the traditional prize for the cake that sells for the highest bid.

The cakes will be auctioned off COD, so bring your wallets (no cash/check, no cake!), and (warning)...be prepared to purchase the cake you've worked so hard on with your scout!! It's a great time; the boys love seeing their cakes up for bid, and the proceeds go to a worthy cause.

The rules are simple:

1 -- All decorations must be edible; the cake cannot contain any parts or decorations that are not edible.

2 -- This is a father/son event! Moms -- please refrain from lending your expertise. You can give them a recipe, but let them run with it. We've had a few spectacular masterpieces in the past with your help, but it really does take away from the spirit of the event. Let the boys and fathers be proud!!

One more helpful hint -- don't bring your cake on your family heirloom cake stand -- bring it on something disposable that you won't mind parting with, in the event that someone buys your cake out from under you!!

We'll need a volunteer to be auctioneer, as well as a few more to assist with set-up and the distribution of cakes and collection of funds.

If you have any questions or are interested in helping out, please email me at need [email protected]
