A Scout is CHEERFUL. He's also resourceful, crafty, and practices good sportsmanship when his craft doesn't perform as he expected.  Derbies are a way to have fun, show some hidden talent and planning, and able to play the friendly competition that goes on at these events.  Sometimes it's for an award, sometimes it's for a certificate, sometimes it's just for plain ole fun! Cub Scouts offers: Pinewood Derby, Rocket Derby (Launch), Space Derby, Raingutter Regatta, Recycle Regatta, and others.
