Whether your Cub Scout’s racer is a sleek and polished car with a custom paint job and aerodynamic shape, or it’s more of a “flying brick” design with stickers and marker decorations, we hope that you’re having fun with the project and are excited for the event this year, too. If you need any help, please email webmaster@pack100ballard.com and we will get you connected with the right people or tools.
