The Inland Northwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America hosted the Race to Cub Scouting Rally Friday at the Spokane Arena parking lot.

A pinewood derby was held along with other events. Hot dogs and drinks were available for all.

The Cub Scout program involves first- through fifth-grade boys in an active family program that develops character, teaches citizenship and promotes fitness. It includes community service, games, projects, ceremonies and outdoor activities.
