Pinewood Derby winners

West Milford Cub Scout Pack 9 held its annual Pinewood Derby on Jan. 19 at St. Joseph Church.

Scouts, their families and spectators watched the derby, a tradition that challenges Scouts and a family member to transform a simple block of wood and car kit into a unique, custom-designed race car.

Scouts not only compete on speed but also have the chance to win in various artistic categories, showcasing their creativity and craftsmanship.
