HISTORY
The first Pinewood Derby was held in 1953 by Cub
Scout Pack 280C of Manhatten Beach, California. The first reference
to the Pinewood Derby in a Scout publication was in the October,
1954 issue of Boy's Life. The June, 1955 Program Helps listed
"Wheels, Wings, and Things" as a theme. The Cub Scout Program
Quarterly gave instructions for running the Pack Meeting Derby. The
Supply Division's catalogs had kits available for $2.75 for a
package of eight. Over 15 million kits were sold during the next 20
years. Today, over 80 million car kits have been sold. |
