PineCar

We love seeing youngsters’ PineCar® builds, and Sean Clark is no exception. His dad, Scott, told us that he recently had his first Kub Kar derby and like his big brother Ryan, he came in first place! He also picked up the award for Best Overall Design. Excellent work Sean!

Encourage good sportsmanship by reminding children competing in your church or district that they are all winners with our Special Awards or green Parcipitation Ribbons. #pinewoodderby #awanas #girlscoutsofamerica
