• A safe and exciting environment with launch pads provided
• A chance to learn, explore, and see whose rocket flies the highest!

Who Can Join?

• Open to all registered Cubs and Scouts.
• Every Cub/Scout must be accompanied by a unit leader or another responsible adult.

What to Bring?

• All participants must bring their own assembled model Estes rocket, and appropriate engines (size A, B, or C only) for launching. 
• Additional engines (sizes A, B, and C) will be available while supplies last. 
• Not sure which rocket to choose?  The Estes Alpha III is a good beginners rocket!  Participants may build whatever rocket they prefer, provided they bring engines suitable for that rocket (sizes A, B, or C only!). 
• That's it!  Launch pads will be provided.
