The Heritage Trails District is hosting a Pinewood Derby Clinic at Saint Paul’s United Methodist Church on Saturday, February 11 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. All supplies (tools, paint, sandpaper, etc.) will be provided…you just need to bring your pinewood derby kit and weights (if you desire). Three two-hour time blocks are available to sign-up and complete your award-winning pinewood derby car. All Scouts must be accompanied by an adult during the entirety of the clinic. This opportunity is also available for siblings wishing to compete in the Outlaw Races. Lock in your spot before it is gone at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4fa9a92ca0ffc07-district#/.
