Recently, Pack 194 Cub Scouts held their annual Pinewood Derby. This event is known to many people – even non-scouts, because of its lengthy history. A mere mention of the term “Pinewood” brings a rush of memories to most families, as a brother, son, or father may have participated. Currently boys use a provided kit to build a car within rule specifications, but also use their own creativity.
The top speed winners in each age group compete against each other for the Pack Championship. Awards are given for speed, design, craftsmanship, and fan favorites. The boys that win at the pack level for speed progress to a district level race that includes 12 towns and Hanscom Air Force Base.
Receiving awards in speed were:
- Jake Bowman – Overall Pack winner for speed Wolf Scout
- Caleb Goldman- Webelos 2 Scout
- Eric Zhang Webelos 1 Scout

- Anderson Marino – Tiger Scout
