WHAT IS IT? Edina Girl Scouts of all ages can design and create a car to race at the Pinewood Derby - Girl Scout Style. The race takes place typically on a 4-lane track with a computerized timing system that shows instant results and gathers all statistics. In addition to the top 8 speed finishers, awards are presented for special design categories (Girl Scout Car, Fastest Looking, Coolest Shape, Best Paint Job, Most Bling/Shiniest/Prettiest & Most Simplistic).
COST: $10.00 / GIRL SCOUT. The cost covers the car kit, fun patch, facility and equipment rentals, and awards.
WHEN: FRIDAY, April 25th, and SATURDAY, April 26th, 2025
WHERE: VALLEY VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL, (South Gym) 6750 Valley View Road, Edina, MN 55439
Car Drop Off: April 25th from 6:30 - 7:30 pm (To participate in the race, all cars must follow the Pinewood Derby Rules listed in the attached pdf below). They must be dropped off on Friday night to be checked-in, weighed, numbered, and photographed to race on Saturday.
