Rockets - Bear Requirement 21



Our opening Den meeting was a BLAST--literally.
Next Den meeting is this Monday at the church.  Den Leader Rich will lead a bike ride, this meeting will start early as it is already getting dark by 7:30.  DL Rich will send an announcement on the start time but it may be 6pm or 630.

Rocket Launch, Den 5 kickoff event! 9/12

Some of you may have noticed that is has been somewhat rainy, but if the weathermen are worth anything they have Monday as a clear day!
That means Rocket Launch day!!
If you already built a rocket bring it, engines (with electric igniters), and recovery wadding to the field behind Nitrauer Elem.  No need to worry about starting a wild fire, the grass is green.
If you did not build a rocket, get a kit at Winkie's hobby or AC Moore/Micheals.  Look for a skill level E2X (easy to assemble.)  Build it at least the day prior to allow glue to set.
Needed:  Rocket, engine (probably size C--check your rocket kit for recommended sizes), electric starters (should come in the engine pack), and the recovery wadding.

Meeting: Nitrauer Elem 7pm-8pm.  9/13 (If the weathermen lie and it is more than sprinkling, we will meet at St Thomas for an alt. meeting.)

3...2...1....See you then!!!
