What is a Chuckwagon Derby?
A Den pulls a covered wagon from station to station while doing different skills. The wagon must be made by the Den and Must have a free standing Den Flag. The Wagon can be as simple as a regular child’s wagon with an arched cover. Some packs have home made wooden wagons that they made some time ago for past Chuckwagon Derbies. You can get some ideas from the “How To” book and from going to Google (search for “Cub Scout Chuckwagon Derby Plans“) Try to make your wagons authentic as possible. You will need to bring a bag lunch to have on the trail while you go from station to station. Your wagons will need to have some materials in them to use at some of the stations.There will be Sheriffs on the trails that will check your wagons for the supplies.
