Pack 142 is excited to announce that Cub Scouts visiting Pack 142 from China will be participating in this event. Please join us to help welcome them and to provide them with a great time!

Activities will include but are not limited to water rockets, stomp rockets and model plane flying! We will end the day by launching some Estes Rockets!

Families need to bring their own Estes rockets and engines. Please also bring something cool to drink and a small snack. The Pack will provide the launching pads, launchers and a safe area to launch your rockets!

Tips for first time rocket launchers:
1. We suggest you purchase rockets that state "easy to assemble" or "assembles in minutes".
2. You use A or B engines (using anything larger will increase the risk of losing your rocket).
3. Bring a spare rocket.
 
Rockets and supplies can be purchased from:
1. Tech Toys – tech-toys.com
2. F&M Hobbies – www.fandmhobbies.com
3. Zeppelin Hobbies – www.zephobby.com
4. Amazon – www.amazon.com
