Wordless Wednesday – Pinewood Derby 2011 with LINKY
One of the coolest things about Boy Scouts has got the be the Pinewood Derby which happened this past weekend.
As always, I am amazed the creative abilities of these boys. I love the vibrant colors of the cars. The Pinewood Derby cars and designs seem to get better and better every year.
My son's Pinewood Derby car is blue with a bright orange flame running down the front.

That is so neat! I wish i had put my oldest in scouts 🙂
I was in Scouts as a kid and still have great memories. I have two kids in Scouts right now and as soon as the third one is old enough, she is going in too.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this post. My husband talks about the pinewood derby and his time in boy scouts all the time. Looking forward to that phase with Evan!
My dad did the Pinewood Derby as a kid and loved it.
My husband missed out and swore that he would take his son for as long he wanted to go. They have soooo much fun making the car.
I have always been fascinated with the Pinewood Derby stuff! Such a great activity for boys! I think the shark car is my favorite! 🙂
Thanks for the linky, Stacie. Happy Wednesday!
I love the shark car too. The boy who made that is my son’s friend. He also won the trophy for the best design. It is really cool.
How cool!! My son would be in heaven, he loves cars!!
My son absolutely loves the Pinewood Derby time of year!
I remember my brothers and dad doing those! So much fun 🙂
My dad did it too and my son just loves that he is doing something his grandfather did.
Boy does this bring back a lot of memories. Thank you!
I keep all of the Pinewood Derby cars and put them in a shadowbox. Hopefully my son will create memories like this one day with his family!
Cuute! 🙂
I’ve never been to one of these since I don’t have boys, but it looks like they are all having so much fun. I had no idea you were so good with the camera! Awesome photos!
Thanks Connie!!.
I spent almost two hours editing them in Picnik.
Wow! Those cars are all great!
They are great cars! I always tell my husband to take lots of pictures so we can get inspiration for next years car.
Great color! Anticipation, Excitement and Victory. Captured memories.
Pleased to be one of your newest followers.

Thanks PK!
we may have to re think boy scouts around here or consider them when the time comes that looks like so much fun and for dads too
I think that my husband has just as much fun as my son, if not more!
So cool. I remember the boy scouts having their racing derby’s when I was young.
What great pictures! That looks like so much fun. I used to envy my brother when it was Pinewood Derby time.

I remember going to all of my brother’s pinewood derbys! So much Fun!!
looks like a lot of fun! thanks for linking up.
Oh how cool, my son would love to do something like that!
Looks like a great time!
I remember the excitement of those days! (And the panic when the weight wasn’t right.)
Great pictures, what a fun time! My son loved the Pinewood Derby when he was younger!
Looks like he had a blast. I remember my oldest doing boy scouts 🙂 Great pictures.
How neat. I bet my daughter would LOVE doing that…too bad she can’t be a scout
How cool! It looks like they had a wonderful time! My daughter loves to play with cars – we race them through boxes that come in the mail 🙂
How fun!! It seems the dads get into those derby events just as much {if not more so} than the kids 😀
Love that, Stacie! They learn so much from the Derby!
Oh how FUN! And his smile says it all! 🙂
Looks like brilliant fun
Happy WW!
i can’t wait till my boys are big enough for this! Right now we are deep into girl scouts with my oldest!
Very cool!
I loved he Pinewood Derby. I think Ethan still has his car and the trophy.
I bet he had so much fun…
Great photos! My husband was in scouts and I think one of his favorite memories from it is the pinewood derby.
How fun! I remember building one of those in shop class 🙂
some great cars there!!! i posted my pinewood pics a couple weeks ago. it’s such a good time!
That is so cool! I totally need to get my boys in boy scouts.
I can’t wait until I get to those days with little man.
This looks so awesome and fun!! I can’t wait till Alex is old enough for girl scouts : ) I think that is teaches so much and is such a great experience.
How neat!
How fun! I have a feeling my little boy will love that some day — he’s obsessed with cars now.
Great cars! I loved making those cars with my son when he was in cubs.
All those smiling, proud faces.
Looks like fun. My boys never got into Boy Scouts instead they do sports. Would be something neat to watch!
That’s so cool! Looks like all the scouts had a fabulous time making and racing them.
I miss Boy Scouts! We didn’t do Pinewood Derby last year, we did sailboats that he had to blow with a straw in order to get to the finish line.
Saw this on TV once and I thought it was utterly cool!
That is soooo cool! I had never heard of the derby before.

Great pictures, looks like a very fun event. I remember doing races like that as a kid. So much fun. And out of the blue yesterday my oldest asked me if he could do one this year.
what fun! I bet he had a blast!
How fun. Love the photos and those cars!!
That was my favorite part of my brother’s boy scout experience. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

SO colorful! Nice shots!
So cool!! The smile says it all.
So cool! Totally foreign to me since I have a house full of girls!
looks like they had a ball! love the smiles in that last photo!
My son’s would love playing with all those cars!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh!! How much fun was that?! That’s such a neat idea I might have to try that for an upcoming birthday party, we have hundreds of Hot Wheels cars!
How fun!
Oh my gosh, I love it! There are some amazing designs there!
WOW…its been like a million years since I’ve seen these! My 28 yr old son did scouts but not my 13 yr old. I cant believe how advanced the designs are! I remember the whole engineering mindset to get the weight just right, wheels slick and not sticky…
the paint jobs are FANTASTIC! Looks like memories in motion!
One of my fondest memories about my Mom was when she was a pack leader for Scouts (or Den Mother nowdays) There really werent any males to do the job. I still remember their song- 2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate? Pack 48! The soap carving, the lttle cars- it was a houseful of boys!
Your son looks like he enjoys the scouts!
