Scout Trucks

Automotive Engineers Wanted!

Have you ever wanted to design and build your own 18-wheeler long-haul truck? Well now is your chance!  Burnaby 4SW Scout Troop and Burnaby Area Scouting are hosting a number of truck races and design competitions.

See the Scout Trucks Page for more details including UPDATED START TIME FOR BURNABY RALLY and new date for our rally

Here's a YouTube video of an Ontario group racing their trucks to give you an idea what you can do with these and what they look like.

The trucks will cost $17.90 each.  If you are interested in building and racing a car, I must have your payment by Wednesday February 6th so I can place an order in time for our races.

We will be racing our trucks on these dates:
  • Wednesday March 6th - 4th SW Rally in the Willingdon Connection
  • Tuesday March 12th - Burnaby Area Rally at Jubilee Hall
Our meeting on the date of the March 6th rally will be at the usual start and end times. We will meet in the connection, you will be picked up at the connection.

The Burnaby Area rally on Tuesday Mar 12 will start at 7:00 and end at 9:30.
