Melrose Area Cub Scout Pack 68 held this year&#8217;s Pinewood Derby at the Melrose American Legion on Sunday, January 20. Twenty five Cub Scouts participated in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I arrived at the Legion to help set things up before most of the families arrived. After asking the cubmaster what I should do she asked me to take photographs during the event. I guess she knows that type of work is right up my alley.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took pictures of each Scout as they arrived. I took two pictures of the Scout holding his\/her car, and one closeup of the car. I also took some pictures during the event. When I was asked by the cubmaster to hand out the Derby Patches after the races were complete I handed my camera to one of the Boy Scouts who continued to take pictures. I took the camera back when the cubmaster presented the trophies. I was also able to get a few group and den photos before families started to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time the event was over I had over 160 photos from the Pinewood Derby. Since most of the families have a Facebook account I posted many of them to the site. I may also make a slideshow of the pictures and post it later. Of course, no names of the Scouts will be listed with the photos.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does your Pack assign someone to take photo&#8217;s during its Pinewood Derby? How many photos did they take during the event? Did your Cub Scouts enjoy your derby?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another January has come and gone which also means thousands of Pinewood Derby&#8217;s has been held across the country.
