The Cub Scouts have been a part of Johnstown for over 50 years, and the pinewood derby has been a part of Scouting for 75 years. Each year the Cub Scout gets a pine block of wood, 4 wheels and 4 nails. The Scout takes the block of wood, shapes it into a car with an adult’s help, and then races it against other scouts in the Pack.

 

The Cub Scouts of Johnstown have been using the same pinewood derby race track for over 25 years. We are starting a campaign to replace our old 3 lane wood track with a new 4 lane metal track and timer. We are asking your help in reaching our goal of $1300. We are asking any business in and around Johnstown to contribute, as well as individuals and families. We are asking for ANY size donation. We want everyone in and around our community to have an equal opportunity be a part of Cub Scouting in Johnstown. We would like to purchase the track in November of 2006 so it will be ready to go in January of 2007. Any donation, whatever the size, will be put into the pinewood derby track fund until our goal is met.

 

During the Cub Scout Pinewood derby in January we will be posting all of the businesses and family sponsors on a banner. All donations are tax deductible.

Checks can be made out to Pack 20 . You may mail your donation to our Treasurer, Kevin Miller, or you may contact Russell Sparks for pick-up of your donation at your convenience.

 

Yours in Scouting,
