GENERAL INFORMATION:
- The Pushmobile Derby is a race using cars built by a Boy Scout Patrol or Cub Scout Den and their parents. This gives the boys and parents an opportunity to work on a project together, which is important in Scouting. The concept is for a group of six boys to build and race the car.
- The course is set up in 100-200 foot intervals with the six boys paired up as 2-man pusher/driver teams. Two Scouts start, one is the pusher, and one is the driver. When they arrive at the “Change Point,” they change places, the pusher becoming the driver and the driver becoming the pusher. They will push to the next “Change Point,” where two more boys take over, swapping positions at their “Change Point” as the first pair did and so on.
- Teams may consist of Scouts from one or more Packs or Troops. If you need assistance in forming a team, please let us know and we will try to assist you in teaming up with other Packs or Troops.
