OFFICIAL RULES AND SPECIFICATIONS
IN ORDER TO ENSURE A FAIR RACE THESE RULES ARE TO BE ENFORCED AND INTERPRETED BY THE RACE
OFFICIALS. CARS MUST COMPLY WITH THESE SPECIFICATIONS TO QUALIFY TO RACE.

1. Only the official BSA wood block, wheels and axles may be used.
2. The car’s dimensions must be no larger than 2.75 inches wide by 7 inches long. The entire car and
accessories must start the race behind the starting line.
3. The car must have a minimum clearance of 3/16 inch.
4. The maximum weight of the car is 5 ounces. Only the official scale determines this weight on race day.
5. Axles may be relocated. Precut slots in the official wood block do not have to be used.
6. Wheels may not be significantly altered. Only removal of burrs and light sanding are permitted.
7. Wheel bearings, bushings, washers and springs are prohibited. Wheels must be on official axles and rub
against raw, sanded or painted wood.
8. Starting devices are prohibited. Cars must be freewheeling and driven by gravity only.
9. Cars with wet paint or glue will not be allowed to race. Exceptions will be made for repairs done by the
official Pit Crew on race day.
10. Dry graphite is the ONLY lubricant allowed. All lubrication must take place before the car is impounded.
All lubrication is to take place outside the building or in designated areas only.
11. At the designated time, each car will be weighed, qualified and impounded. The racer will not have
access to their car until after racing is complete. The only exception to this will be required damage
repairs made by the Pit Crew. The Race Officials ONLY may determine the need for damage repairs.
(Basically, if the car can still get down the track, it races.)
12. If any car is impeded or affected by any outside source, the times will be removed and the heat will be
rerun. This is at the discretion of the Race Official.
13. If any car jumps the track more than twice, it will be taken out of the heat and rerun alone. We will
make every reasonable attempt to get a finishing time for each racer.
14. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AND BEHAVIOR IS EXPECTED OF EVERYONE

Tom Yawkey Conservation Weekend is an overnight camping experience designed for Scouts and their leaders. Throughout the weekend, participants will take part in a focused program centered on Environmental Science, Conservation, and Nature Stewardship.

Scouts may choose from a variety of merit badge courses offered on Saturday morning and again in the afternoon, allowing each Scout to complete up to two badges related to conservation themes. These courses support progress toward earning the BSA World Conservation Award.

In addition to merit badge work, all participants will join a three-hour, hands-on conservation project conducted on site. This year’s project will support habitat efforts for the near-threatened Northern Bobwhite, giving Scouts a meaningful opportunity to contribute to wildlife preservation.

Welcome to Camp Swampy 2026!
Get ready to travel back in time to a land where dinosaurs roamed, adventures awaited at every
turn, and explorers uncovered the mysteries of the past. This year’s Camp Swampy theme is
“Dinosaurs Unleashed!”
From prehistoric crafts to dino-sized games and exciting outdoor skills, Scouts will step into the
role of brave paleontologists and adventurers. Just like dinosaurs, they’ll learn to adapt, explore,
and discover new strengths as they journey through an action-packed week.

At Camp Swampy, every Scout will:

• Embark on thrilling hands-on activities
• Discover the secrets of ancient creatures
• Build friendships stronger than a T-Rex’s roar
• And create memories that will last a lifetime!
So, grab your explorer’s hat, pack your gear, and get ready—because at Camp Swampy 2026,
dinosaurs rule the week, and an adventure is waiting!

Camp Location
This year, our prehistoric adventure will take place on the spacious grounds of St. Theresa’s
Catholic Church, located at 11001 Dorchester Rd., Summerville, SC 29485. The church campus
provides plenty of room for Scouts to explore, discover, and enjoy all the exciting camp
activities, transforming the space into our very own dino dig site!
