2008 Pinewood Derby

The Pack 4 2008 Pinewood Derby was held on Saturday, February 9th at the Riverside Gun Club in Hudson.  According to all reports, this was the largest Pinewood Derby in Pack 4 history (51 Cub Scouts & 15 Siblings).  Despite a couple hiccups with the track electronics, the derby ran quite smoothly.  This was only possible due to the efforts of many people.  A big "Thank You" goes out to everyone who helped out both at the Derby and in the planning of it!
