[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband did all the cutting for our 6 year old Tiger Scout. DS helped with the sanding and filing and the painting and decals. Our Pack had several days were people could borrow power tools at various Den Leaders garages. It sounds like the older kids, Webelos and Arrow of Light, did more of the cutting on their own, with supervision from several adults, at their Den meetings.

There were a couple of Scouts who were talking about ordering precut pinewood derby cars online and were told they were not allowed to do that. [/quote]

Us too, however, husband also sanded mine as well.  Our den leaders did a one evening with the power tools but most of the den leaders weren't that familiar with the tools themselves nor did they have great tools.  Thankfully we have our own.  I'm not letting my kid use a huge band saw yet.[/quote]

My Husband did a second sanding after our son did the first. He had DS feel where things were still rough and showed him how to smooth it out a bit. But DS handled all four levels of sandpaper and the like. He will do more as he gets older. The two of them had a good time working on it together and that is what matters. [/quote]
