Yesterday, July 10, 2024, was a very exciting and energetic day for Scouting! As part of the “Scouting The Hill” reception, our Cub Scout Pack 98 from Washington, DC set up and raced a Pinewood Derby in the U.S. Capitol for members of Congress! We believe this was the very first time a Pinewood Derby was held at the Capitol. Thank you to the Pack leadership for making this happen!
