Start your engines for the Race to 2010! In celebration of our 100th Anniversary, Showcase one of our most popular activities for Cub Scouts — and a true Scouting icon — the Pinewood Derby – One Amazing Race!!!

Pinewood Derby cars representing every council will race across America using geocaching. The cars will be Travel Bugs®, moving from cache to cache across America. Scouts and Scouters can track their car’s progress, read posted comments, and log the miles it travels on Geocaching.com. The finish line? Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree!

All of the Pinewood Derby cars that arrive at the Jamboree will be displayed in a special geocaching area in ―Technology Quest.‖ Prizes will be awarded for the Pinewood Derby cars that travel the farthest, pass through the most hands, or have the most creative routes. But if your car doesn’t make it to the Jamboree, don’t worry. You’re still eligible. Geocaching.com will log how many miles each car travels. So, we’ll know if it went the distance — even if that distance doesn’t lead it to Virginia. After the Jamboree, we’ll release the cars again to continue their race … around the world.
