Rocket Launch

Our Troop holds an exciting day celebrating model rockets every other year to celebrate the craftsmanship, design and technology of Class 1 Model Rockets.  Trailmen and invited guests (with a little help from an adult) assemble a rocket from an approved kit.  It’s a great way to start learning about simple model builds, hobbies and the science of making things go.  And seeing the rockets launch into the air is a ton of fun!

Our rocket launch event is also open to LifeMission families with boys in K-5th grade to check out Trail Life. Please sign-up to reserve a kit using the link below.
