Sunday, AUGUST 20th, 2023 10:00 am -12:00 pm
Jewett Park 836 Jewett Park Dr, Deerfield IL
We're looking forward to seeing everyone for the rocket launch.
Your Den Leader will be delivering rockets to you in August.
Assemble your rocket at home and bring it with you to launch. Allow glue to dry overnight before launching. Follow the assembly instructions printed in the package and use the tips below.
Building Tips
- Don’t forget to decorate/name your rocket so you can identify it for retrieval (we do not have decorating prizes for the rockets, so save your most creative ideas for your Pinewood car).
- Do not glue or paint the nosecone into position... it must easily pop out to release the recovery streamer.
- Attached are two pictures below showing a completed rocket... please refer to these before finalizing assembly.
Prior issues to avoid
1) The motor mount tube was glued in backwards. The end with the thrust ring should be in the middle of the rocket tube, not sticking out the end
2) The motor clip was missing or installed backwards
3) The motor clip was installed on the same side of the tube as the launch rod guide hole on the orange fins. Note in the picture below the guide hole is on top of the tube and the motor clip is on the bottom.
4) The streamer was not installed
5) The nose cone was glued or painted into place.
Also... Let your child know that they are only to retrieve/handle their own rocket. | |

For those of you new to the pack, the Crossover Ceremony is the time to recognize the work the boys have completed over the year in their advancement to the next level of scouting. During the Crossover Ceremony all scouts will receive any remaining awards they have earned for the year, and they will receive their books and neckerchiefs for next year.
And, almost as great as the boys getting their awards, the pack will be providing the main picnic entrees, and your den leader will arrange for the dens to bring some drinks, sides, etc. More info on that later in the month. As always, all family members are invited.
This year we will be hosting the picnic with Cub Scout Pack 450 from Walden, so we expect it to be twice as fun! We'll have some games the families can participate in, and we will also be inviting other families with boys from our schools as a recruiting event, so if you know a family that would like to come and learn about scouting feel free to invite them.
For now, put Saturday May 31, 4-6pm, Brickyards Park on your calendar. We will be contacting you for RSVPs later.
Uniforms: Wear yellow Pack 50 t-shirts to picnic, but please also bring blue uniform shirts to put of for the Crossover Ceremony.
