Pinewood Derby cars are intended to be designed and built by Scouts with supervision and assistance of their Akela. Scouts BSA guidance for age-appropriate use of tools is published in the Guide to Safe Scouting.

Each car must be built by a Cub Scout starting with the materials in an Official BSA Pinewood Derby Car Kit. This includes the pine wood block, axles and wheels. Any official wheels from the Scout Shop are permitted. Separately purchased  epecially prepared components such as contoured pinewood blocks or machined wheels are specifically prohibited.
