Estes Rocket Launch @ Parsippany Hills High School

May 15 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Please join Pack 142 at our annual Rocket Launch!

Event Date: Sunday, May 15, 2016
Event Time: 2:00PM – 4:00PM
Event Location: Parsippany Hills High School Fields
Dress Requirements: Pack T-Shirt

Families need to bring their own 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. Michael’s (Please visit: www.michaels.com and print the 40% discount coupon to take with you)

2. Tech Toys – tech-toys.com

3. F&M Hobbies – www.fandmhobbies.com

4. Zeppelin Hobbies – www.zephobby.com

5. Amazon – www.amazon.com

If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or phone Troy on 973-437-6163.

You are welcome to invite any friends and families with boys that are Cub Scout age (grades K-5). Please be sure to RSVP to let us know you are coming and how many guests to expect. We look forward to seeing you there!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend. We have been closely monitoring the weather forecast for tomorrow. The forecast indicates a fine and sunny day, but we also expect to receive winds between 20mph and 30mph.

It is important to have fun during our rocket launch, but it is imperative that we provide a safe environment for scouts, family and others around us. The forecast for high winds does present a concern. We will continue to evaluate the weather situation tomorrow, but the forecast at this point indicates that we should postpone the rocket launch for another day over the summer.

In the case that the rocket launch is postponed for tomorrow, we will still host a pack meeting to build boats for the “Rain Water Regatta” that will be held at our upcoming Pack meeting on May 19. We will still meet at the Tennis Court fields at Parsippany Hills High School at 2PM tomorrow (May 15, 2016). Those who still wish to launch their rockets will be able to do so providing they take full responsibility for any safety concerns. Rocket launchers must be aware that there is a high likelihood their rocket will be blown into a tree and/or otherwise lost.

If we do postpone the rocket launch, I would like to invite all scouts and their families to bring their kites to fly after building the boats for the “Rain Water Regatta”!

I will send another email to notify you of our intentions tomorrow. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached via email [email protected] or phone 973-437-6163.

Thanks!

Troy Adams
