Pack 700 Water Rocket Derby and Recruiting Event

Come join Pack 700 in Paradise Park on Sunday, June 7th at 1-4PM for our 1st Annual Water Rocket Derby!  This is an open event.  If you are interested in Cub Scouting for your son in grades 1-6, come by and construct your own water rocket to launch.   And you get to keep the rocket!  While your son is building and launching his rocket, you can speak with one of our leaders about Cub Scouting.

We have the launch pads, rocket bodies, pre-cut fins, nose cones, packing tape, launch control system, and water supply.  You supply an empty 16-20oz plastic soda bottle. Regular bottled water bottles are too thin and will burst, so they are not allowed.

Pack 700 is currently recruiting Tigers (Entering 1st Grade in the Fall).  We are also always looking for adults that may be interested in starting a den at the other ranks too. (Bear, Wolf, and Webelos)  All of our other ranks are full at this time.  If you would like to come check us out or talk to someone in our leadership about starting a Den at one of the other grade levels (2-6) we would love to speak with you!

Scout-o-Rama

Pack 700 participated in the Santa Clara County Council Scout-O-Rama held in History Park in San Jose. Our popular marshmellow shooter booth was back and busy as ever! A huge thank you to all the volunteers that came to take a turn at running the booth. The whole event was well attended again this year. A sample of activities: BB guns, archery, hatchet throwing, snake handling (including a 65lb. python), rope bridges, water rockets, and a good old fashioned game of marbles!
