Just in case that wasn't written entirely tongue-in-cheek (I did look for winky emoticons) ...
Is that chain of statements equivalent (equivalent enough) to saying that without the Pinewood Derby there are no Cub Scout packs; and consequently no Cub Scouts working with Pack Leaders (mentors); and etc.?
