2015 Pinewood Derby Results

Here are the results.

 Here are a few things I noticed when doing the statistics.

  • There were 65 scout cars and 19 open class cars this year.
  • This year’s participation was higher than last year, 81% vs. 73%.
  • The time spread was much tighter this year at 0.9703 seconds vs. 1.6578 seconds for 2014.
  • For the first time we had 100% Webelo I participation.
  • For the first time we had 100% Webelo II participation.
  • The fastest 10 cars all weighed more than 4.95 ounces.
  • Of the slowest 10 cars all but three weighed more than 4.90 ounces.  Weight isn’t everything.
  • Seven cars this year beat the 2014 winning time.  This could be because of the new timing system.

I have four cars.  They are numbers 24, 56, 107, and 204.

Cub Scouts vs Sports

Saw this video posted on Scouter Adam’s blog, and I had to share it. It’s a recruitment video from the Coronado Area Council in Kansas.

On YouTube, they describe the video this way:

A fun video that reminds parents that if getting your son prepared for life is important to you then making time for Scouting is important!
