Cars sit ready to start the first heat of the district Pinewood Derby Saturday at Holiday Village Mall.

Cubmaster Dave McLeod leads a group of Cub Scouts in a moose song Saturday at Havre's Holiday Village Mall while awaiting the resolution of technical difficulties in the district Pinewood Derby.
Cub Scouts from four area packs - two from Havre and one each from Chester and Big Sandy - gathered at Holiday Village Mall Saturday to compete in the Hi-Line District Pinewood Derby.
"Kids love taking a block of wood and making a car out of it," said Hi-Line District Chair Bill Lanier. "It's a good time for them. The kids get to meet other Scouts."
The next step, he said, is the state championship meet in Great Falls May 7.
Unlike most competitions, kids don't have to win at the local or district level in order to compete in the states, he said. So he expects that some from the Hi-Line will be making the Great Falls trip.
This gives Scouts some time to make improvements in their cars, he said.
And if Scouts can't make the trip to Great Falls, he said, they can mail their cars in.
Last year, Severin Heimbigner of Big Sandy finished seventh at state.
The results of the races are:
Tiger - First place: Noah Siemens of Havre
Wolves - First place: Micah Cammon of Havre
Bears - First place: Severin Heimbigner of Big Sandy
Webelos - First place: Spencer George of Havre
