🏁 Pack 116 Pinewood Derby 2026: The Results are In! 🏎️💨

What a day at the races! We had an incredible turnout with 26 out of 27 Scouts competing, plus 12 Outlaw racers (parents and siblings) joining the fun. The garage was buzzing, the snacks were delicious, and the racing was some of the fastest we’ve ever seen!
