Kub Kars

What are Kub Kars?

Kub Kars are toy racing cars built from kits. Each kit contains a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles. The wood is sawn (usually by adults) to the Cub Scouts’ specifications. The youth then sand, add paint, and other embellishments for both speed and style. Kars are raced, often three at a time, down a sloped wooden track. Sometimes electronic timers are used. Cub Scouts can also demonstrate a great deal of creativity in making their car.
