Got Scouts? It's Pinewood Derby Time!


For this year's Pinewood Derby, I'm on the awards committee. My mission: To search for enough "award topics" for each Cub Scout in our Den. We have about 30 cubs, so this was a bit daunting. Until I turned to my friends and a few fabulous websites. And now, I'm sharing the love with you! There may be a few repeats on the list. I didn't get a chance to go through and sort them all. Be sure to mark this list on Pinterest, print it out, email it to friends and whatever else you do to save bloggy awesomeness for future use.

Thank you, thank you for this list! I somehow always get the responsibility of filling out awards for all the boys and I am not that good at coming up with ideas on the spot. This will be a huge help!
