DTOC Helps Boy Scouts Speed Ahead

DTOC President Daniel Stewart presents a check to Choctaw Area Council Scout Executive, Ken Kercheval to help off-set the costs associated with holding the annual Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby Race at Northeast Elementary School in 2016.

“Each year one of the highlights of Cub Scouting is for the boy to make a car out of a pinewood block of wood,” Choctaw Area Council Scout Executive, Ken Kercheval said. “He can add his design, the paint, all that kind of stuff. They race it and this event is the culmination of that for our council.”

The Downtown Optimist Club has been an annual sponsor of the Pinewood Derby Race for many years.
