Build this Pinewood Derby display case with your Cub Scouts

When the Pinewood Derby race is done, the cars remain as priceless artifacts of history.

Like all those irreplaceable items from childhood, these shouldn’t be relegated to a dusty drawer.

Those cars belong in something like this handsome homemade Pinewood Derby display case. Build it, and preserve those memories forever.

The case includes five shelves for five cars — one for each year of Cub Scouting.

The plans are courtesy of Neil Fern, a Scouter in the Northeast Illinois Council. He made them as part of his Wood Badge ticket and agreed to let me post the plans here.

Neil designed the kit and cut several unassembled versions. He gave those unassembled kits to the boys in his Webelos den, leaving the sanding, assembling and painting to the boys.
