THEATRICAL HIGHLIGHTS

In 2005 and 2006 Down and Derby played over 300 theatrical engagements and special screenings with the local support from more than 100 BSA Councils nationwide.  Many kids joined scouting as a result of those promotions, and participating groups generated over $100,000 from ticket sales and donations to benefit scouting programs, Hurricane Katrina relief and local orphanages.

SCHEDULE YOUR OWN SCREENING!

Down and Derby continues to be available for BSA units, schools and church groups who are interested in scheduling the film in theaters or organizing DVD-based screenings.  These are great for fundraisers, Pinewood Derby® kick-offs, popcorn sales recognition, special events, and any promotion of the Special Scouting Edition DVD.  Nothing compares with seeing a movie with your friends, family, and fellow scouters — the following options are available to make this happen in your area!
