Building Rockets for November Launch

Starting on October 22 we will be building rockets during troop meetings for a November launch.  We will be camping in the Peterloon fields on November 15th-16th.  The launch will occur on Saturday in the field.  You will need to obtain a rocket before October 22.  You can get them at Hobby Lobby next to Walmart and Dicks up by I-275.  If you can find an Alpha, Wizzard, Viking or Yankee rocket by Estees, that would be perfect.  Here is a link to the Estees site so you can see what I am talking about. http://www.estesrockets.com/rockets/kits?cat=19&engine=10

Fall Camporee

Next week, October 11-13, 2013, is Fall Camporee. This could be a cold weather campout, though you wouldn't expect it with the weather we have been having recently. Average lows in October are in the 40's and it can get down to the 20's. Just in case you need a refresher on what to bring, or things to look out for, you can find a list I made for the Webelos here.
