| HISTORY |
Cub Scout Derbies Derbies of one kind or another have always been a part of Cub Scouting. As early as 1939, the BSA Suppl;y Division listed kits for model planes, boats, and airplanes. The derbies have been viewed as a way to get parents and sons to cooperate on a project. An early Cub Leader's Round Table contained instructions for holding a Kite Derby. Competitions included the 100 yard dash, novelty kites, altitude race, artistic kites, kite battle, and the messenger race. The BSA Supply Service offered a pamphlet entitled Kites to teach kite making. In April of 1937, Scouters were given the directions for making the Cubmobile. The origninal intention for the Cubmobiles was that they be any contrivance on wheels. According to the How Book of Cubbing, "It may be drawn, pushed, or propelled by Cubs, or may be drawn by a trained animal-in fact, anything goes!" Most ended up patterned after the Soapbox Derby racers. The first reference to the Pinewood Derby in a Scout publication was in the October, 1954 issue of Boy's Life. The June, 1955 Program Helps listed "Wheels, Wings, and Things" as a theme. The Cub Scout Program Quarterly gave instructions for running the Pack Meeting Derby. The Supply Division's catalogs had kits available for $2.75 for a package of eight. Over 15 million kits were sold during the next 20 years. Regatta kits arrived in 1958 with kits for eight boats selling for $2.95. The rubber band driven Space Derby kits followed the start of the space race in 1961. Another derby was made available during the seventies; the Rocket Derby. The kits were later dropped from the Supply Division catalog. | |||||||||||||||||||
