Pinewood Derby Trophies

Pack

Message:

Thank you to everyone who voted on this year's extra Pinewood Derby trophies.

The three extra trophies that will be handed out this year are:

-Most Creative

-Funniest

-Most fuel-efficient (slowest) *To be eligible for this award, the car must finish each of its races without interfering with other cars. I understand this is a popular award in some other packs with people competing to build the slowest car.

As a reminder, each den's top three fastest cars will get 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals. There will also be trophies given to the fastest three cars of the whole pack.
