Every Race Needs Cheerleaders!
We need loud voices to cheer on our amazing Racers and help us ensure all that hard work is recognized! Some come join us and participate from the sidelines by casting your vote in The People’s Choice Awards - an opportunity for everyone at the Community Pinewood Derby to be part of the action! Spectators and racers alike can vote for their favorite cars in two fun categories:
The Fastest Looking Car - The car that looks like it could fly down the track at lightning speed
Most Creative Car – The most unique, imaginative, and eye-catching design of the day
Awards will be handed out with the help of the Flywheels Car Club who will also be presenting their very own award in a specialty category: the Judges Choice award, which will be based on creativity, craftsmanship, originality, paint and detail work, and overall presentation.
Don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity to case your vote and help us pick our winners!
All of our event proceeds directly benefit Silverton Cub Scout Pack #485. These funds are vital to our kids’ success and will provide crucial training for our volunteers, as well funding for this and future events - Including the ability to send our entire pack to summer camp without financial burden to parents or guardians! We call this Camp for All! There, our scouts learn life skills that build character and provide service to their communities, all the while forming lasting friendships and creating forever memories - This is where childhood is written!
We hope you can join us in our First Annual Pinewood Derby Event, whether as a Racer, a Sponsor, or another voice cheering on our racers!

More on Pack #485
Cub Scouts Pack #485 started in Silverton in 2020. Since then, volunteer den leaders, parents, and older Scouts and Cub Scouts graduates have worked hard to provide a safe and educational environment. Children try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence and reinforce ethical and moral standards of being. We believe that Scouting diligently helps the young men and women of tomorrow growing up in the world we live in today, ensuring the development of lifelong learning, serving others, and living actively with purpose.
