Rainbow Valley Scout Rocket Launch

January 2007



January Rocket Launch

It was a freezing day at the rocket launch for these avid rocketeers! Wouldn't you know we picked the coldest day of the year for our annual rocket launch campout.
First we get instructions and learn the rules of the range.
Blake and his dad get ready to launch their rocket

Mr. Weite and Ian help Scouts at the launching pad.
And they're off!

I wonder why everyone always has a sore neck after the rocket launches?

Spencer helps one of the younger Scouts with his rocket
Nick teaches his dad the art of installing the parachute correctly
Mr. Mikac launches his Barracuda!

After the rocket launch, we headed over to camp for the night at Estrella Park, but it was too cold for pictures!
Here's a picture worth a thousand words, or at least one word.. BRRRRRR!!!!!
Hurry up and eat your breakfast so we can pack up and go home!
That's it until next year!
