Friday Check-In and Setup
|
Saturday Derby
- The races will be conducted by dens (ranks) with multiple racing heats per den to allow Cub Scouts the chance to race different lanes on the derby track. Races will start for Pack 283 at 11:00AM on Saturday morning.
- We will need parent volunteers to make this event run smoothly and assist with various functions throughout the morning on race day (e.g., concessions, computer, check-in, weigh-in, photographer, mechanic, car guard, starter).
- There will be a repair shop on race day and we will need volunteers to function as mechanics. If you can participate in this capacity we ask that you bring your own tools.
