Lots of fun was had for the Scouts of Pack 7 this past January during their annual “Derby Night” which was held at Stratford Middle School. Each car, of course, was unique in it’s own way and ready to roll. As with any race, there were winners and there were losers. The winners of the evening in each group and category were as follows:
