Pinewood Derby Fest 2020 at Ridgedale Center Postponed

Ridgedale Center, in consultation with the Minnesota Department of Health, has decided to postpone the Pinewood Derby Fest due to concerns regarding large gatherings in light of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Ridgedale Center informed us of this decision yesterday afternoon.

While we are certainly disappointed in this, we understand the decision and appreciate the caution from Ridgedale Center and the MN Dept of Health. As Northern Star Scouting volunteers, we will work with Ridgedale Center to reschedule this great event. Please stay tuned for more information.
