May 3, 2008 – Rocket Derby
Rocket
Derby is a
non-competitive fun event. The boys
will make their own rocket at a den meeting. We go to an open field at Centennial HS
where a safety area of launch pads is utilized to host the rockets with engines
that the parents attach. The boys
take turns “pressing the button” from a safe distance to launch
the rockets and they soar quite a distance!
The most fun is when they chase after them and return to repeat the
process until the engines and/or rockets are all gone
