Cub Scout Pack 243 held its Pinewood Derby on Sunday, February 12, at Cluett Hall. It was a great event with over 40 Scouts participating.

There were some very tight races with loads of trophies and medals handed out for the participants. It was a truly wonderful return to this long honored pack tradition.
