Pinewood Derby Rules Scouting America’s Pinewood Derby Car Building Rules
Each local Pinewood Derby committee determines the rules for building and racing cars. The committee will need to make sure their rules don't conflict with those of the district or council to ensure their members can participate in events at those levels.
According to the Scouting America's Cub Scout Leader How-To-Book, the general rules are as follows:
All cars must pass the following inspection to qualify for the race:
Width shall not exceed 2-3/4 inches.
Length shall not exceed 7 inches.
