Before the meeting: 

  1. Make a Pinewood Derby Driver’s License: 

    • Use the project board and decorate it like a driver’s license for your state. 
    • Keep an 11” x 8.5” horizontal space empty, this is where the Cub Scout ID form for each Cub Scout will be placed. 
    • Cut out the space where the photo would be. 

  2. Confirm the meeting location has a place for the printer and laptop to be plugged in. 
  3. Create a space with good lighting to take photos and set up camera and driver’s license cut out. 
  4. Print Pinewood Derby Driver’s License, one for each Cub Scout. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Inform Cub Scouts and adult partners that at times a person may get separated from the group they are with when they are outside.   
  2. Inform Cub Scouts and adult partners that if they ever get separated from the group they are with or get lost, there are three things they can do to increase the chances that they will get found. 

    • Stay – Do not go looking or wandering around.  When you get lost or separated your group or parents are likely to start looking for you in the last place, they saw you or at places you have been.  If you stay where you are, chances are they will come back to that place to look for you. 
    • Answer – When you hear your name being called, answer back.   
    • Whistle – Use your whistle.  Blow your whistle with three short blasts.  Do this repeatedly until you are found. 

  3. Sometimes we may get separated and we may not be able to remember important information like our parent’s phone number or our address.   
  4. Inform Cub Scouts that today you are making special IDs.  These IDs will have important information on them in case they get lost, but it will also serve as their license for the upcoming Pinewood Derby.  
  5. Have Cub Scouts with their adult partners complete the Cub Scout ID form, using the black magic marker.  Make sure they write big and clear. 
  6. Once a Cub Scout has their form completed have them step over to the photo area with their Cub Scout ID form. 
  7. Place sticky putty on the back side of the Cub Scout ID form on the four corners and place it on the Driver’s License.  
  8. Have the adult partner hold the driver’s license up and have the Cub Scout place their head in the cut-out area. 
  9. Take a picture of the driver’s license with the Cub Scout in it.  Repeat this for each Cub Scout. 
  10. Upload photos to the laptop and size them to 3.5” x 2” horizontal.  Place 8 different photos onto an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper. 
  11. Print the photos onto card stock paper.  Cut out individual driver’s licenses and laminate.
