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!

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!

2008 Quicksilver District Pinewood Derby     Pinewood Derby Patch

Johnathon D, Ethan G, Alex H, and Ryan F represented Pack 700 this year at the 2008 Quicksilver District Pinewood Derby.  All the boys did very well and finished in the top 10 in their categories.  About 55 boys from all over the Santa Clara County Council, Quicksilver district, raced.  All the boys had a great time and received a pinewood derby patch as a token of their participation.  LED Flashlights, carabiners, and compasses were among the goodies handed out if your name called out during the raffle during breaks in the race action.  Popcorn, Licorice, and lemonade was plentiful to keep the racers fueled for the event.  Congratulations to all the racers!

This… The Kit  Becomes this… The Results

The boys, with the assistance of an adult, transform these simple materials into sleek, speedy racers.  This year our fastest car made it to the end of the 32ft track in just under 2.5 seconds with a scale speed of just over 200mph!  We have posted race stats!
