The Scouts from Troop 575 would like to put on a live, virtual Pinewood Derby for the Cubs of the Northern Trails District. The race will be live-streamed, allowing your Cub families to watch from home.

Take the risk out of missing the most anticipated part of the Cub program year! ((  aside from Daycamp :)  ))

If your pack is interested in taking advantage of this offer from Troop 575 (their Scouts are keen to put this on!), please respond to the poll using the link below. The Derby will be held in January, allowing plenty of time to get cars built and decorated.

Looking to have more fun in your unit?

Do you want your youth to step up and become the leaders you want them to be?

There are a number of District, Council, and National training courses your youth (and your leaders) can participate in to deliver on the goal of building tomorrow's leaders.

Scouting’s Journey to Excellence (JTE) is the BSA aspirational planning, performance, and recognition program designed to encourage and reward the success of our units. It is meant to encourage excellence and continuous improvement in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA. Due to the extraordinary circumstances occurring in 2020, the JTE unit criteria have been revised, and are now available at https://www.scouting.org/awards/journey-to-excellence/

Note: The original RSVP email was not working. A new email has been added below.
