Cub Scout Pack 700 – Morgan Hill, CA

Our annual water rocket derby was a blast!  Pack 700, new scouts, and even a few folks just passing by the park launched water and air rockets at our annual rocket derby.  The scouts, siblings, and guests, contruct a rocket from a plastic soda bottle, some poster board, and packing tape.  Water and air are used to propel the rockets up to 100′ or more!  The kids learn a little physics, and what happens when they change things like nose cones, fin placement, and how much water they put in the bottle.  Plus it is just a lot of fun!

Our annual Water Rocket Derby blast off will be Sunday, June 26th at 1PM, at Paradise Park.  Pack 700 Scouters and anyone interested in joining scouting should come out for this really fun event!  Please bring a 16-20 oz carbonated beverage bottle to use in the construction of your rocket.  That’s right!  You build your own rocket!  The walls of regular water bottles are too thin and will burst when pressurized for launch (It looks spectacular, but makes for a very short flight time).

We will provide the other materials for rocket construction, paper board for tubes, packing tape, scissors, stickers, markers, and the materials for fins and a cone.  Siblings are also welcome.

Bring your bottle, a folding chair, some sun screen, and maybe a snack and something to drink, so you can enjoy the event.
