A few more Space Derby details:

This is the first year of Pack 681 holding a Space Derby! I will do mybest to have things run smoothly. I will need all parents to volunteer. There will be many activities while the Scouts are waiting to run theirspace ship. One of the activities is a Stomp Rocket and try to hit anasteroid. I only have 1 with 6 rockets. If you have one can you let meknow if you can bring it? Also if you have any space memorabilia, feelfree to bring it and display it to the Scouts.

We will be running an endurance race. What that means is we will windeach propeller up to a given number (e.g. 50) and see who goes thefurthest. I will have 4 winders on hand so I will need parents to helpout. Each Scout will run 3 times. Each Den will place 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

Scouts will register when they arrive. There is a registration fee of$2.00. Scouts can hold their kits or place them on a table. We willnot keep the kits after registration (like we do in the Pinewood Derby).There are no rules for the kits except one: You cannot use a propellantexcept the propeller to move the kit. You want to make the kit as lightas possible. One caution is to not make the body too thin. When therubber bands are wound up tight, it will torque the body and possiblytwist & break.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your race time to register andvolunteer.
