Edgewater Pack 815 Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby

The Pack 815 Edgewater Cub Scouts recently held their annual pinewood derby and chili cook-off at Londontown Community Hall.  Over 40 Cub Scouts from first grade Tigers to fifth grade Webelos II and siblings built and raced a car.  The scouts and siblings worked on their cars for several weeks prior to the race carving a block of wood, painting, and attaching wheels.  The first place winner was Webelos II Joey Murphy.  Joey Murphy designed and built a pink "Race for the Cure" car and got sponsors to donate money for every race his car won. He also donated part of his allowance money for each race his car won and raised a few hundred dollars that he donated to cancer research.  Several people entered in a pot of chili for chili cook-off contest and Boy Scout Troop 815 entered a pot of chili they cooked in a dutch oven over an open pit fire.  The first place chili cook-off winner was Aiden Cassilly from the Bear Den and he received the annual chili cook-off crown and bragging rights.  Below is a list of award and den winners: Chili Cook-off Champ - Aiden Cassilly; Most Fuel Economic Car - Nathan Johnston; Most Original Car - James Siegart; Best Craftsmanship - Gabe Hammond; Best Paint Job - Connor Kennedy.

This is such a great community story. Two of my three sons were members of Scout Pac 815 and our family had great fun at the annual derby races. It is good to know that the PAC is still going strong and has significant community support.
