Founder of Pinewood Derby passes


Recommended Posts

Stan Pope, one of the pillars of Pinewood Derby, sent me this announcement.  Don Murphy created Pinewood Derby and has positively affected countless youth and parents with it.  It is sad to hear of his passing.

 

I am sorry to announce the passing of Mr. Don Murphy, former Cubmaster of Manhattan Beach Cub Scout Pack 280c, and the originator of the Pinewood Derby, a parent-child project that has been enjoyed by more than a million scouts and other youths across the United States, and in several other nations, over the last 55 years. a Celebration of Life will be held for Don at: Resurrection Lutheran Church 330 Palos Verdes Blvd. Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Saturday July 12th at 2pm thanks for all you have done for the PWD. best regards, Gary D. McAulay
