One of the most unique events at Rhubarb Fest is back!

Join Pack 428 Aledo on Saturday June 6th in downtown Aledo,Illinois for the Rhubarb Pinewood Derby. Scouts will put wheels on sticks of rhubarb and race them down the track to see which vegetable is the fastest in Mercer County.

It's a fun twist on the traditional Pinewood Derby and always draws plenty of laughs and friendly competition. Whether you're a Scout, a former Scout, or just looking for something fun to do at Rhubarb Fest, be sure to stop by and check it out.

We'll see you at Rhubarb Fest in downtown Aledo this Saturday!

The pack visited the Mercer County Airport tonight. Mr. Staver was kind enough to tell the scouts about the planes, answer 100 questions, and let each scout sit in an airplane! A huge thank you to Jason Staver and Midwest Custom Ag Aviation Inc. for hosting us!

Everyone did a great job at our make-your-own game night. The scouts were creative with their games and did a good job teaching everyone how to play them.
