On February 23rd, 2013, Pack 254 held its annual Pinewood Derby at Bethpage United Methodist Church. Along with the Pinewood Derby, families and friends of the participants had a chance to support Boy Scout Troop 254's annual hotdog sale which is held each year in conjunction with the Pinewood Derby. Pack 254 had a record number of cars to enter this year; 36 members of Pack 254 raced their home-made cars in the competition. Each car had its own unique quality and design and everyone had a great time.
After the competition in the double elimination tournament was over, there was one car that had beat the field; Joshua Storie (Bear) finished in first place, Harrison Shepherd (Webelos I) finished in 2nd place and Jacob Haywood (Webelos II) finished 3rd in his last Pinewood Derby. Also winning trophies were Best Design- Lachlan Jacklin (Tiger); Best Paint- Greyson Cress (Tiger); Most Original- Alex Furr (Tiger); and Best Built- Tanner Fowler (Webelos II). Every Scout who participated exemplified the core value of sportsmanship and everyone followed the Cub Scout Motto- "Do Your Best"! Great job to everyone who participated.
