We will be hiking through approximately ¾ of a mile through a mature forest, a small section of a 40 acre prairie and along the edges of several wetlands.

On Sunday, July 25th, we have our annual Rocket Launch, at the CMS fields from 3-5 pm. Bring your own rocket, the pack will supply the engines and the launch pads. This is a joint venture with Pack 479, so be sure to wear your blue pack t-shirts or uniform. You can make your own rocket from a kit, or buy one all constructed and ready-to-go. You can find rockets at hobby stores like Hub Hobby or Hobbytown, or even at Walmart. Pick one that uses an A or B sized engine — no C engines are allowed.
Please RVSP to MARY VAN BEUSEKOM (vanbeusekom1 {at} msn(.)com) by July 20. –
Adults, you will want chairs, and if you have portable shade (like a canopy), you might want to bring that, too. Siblings can participate, too — we ask for a $2 donation to offset the cost of the engines.

- Volunteers to help the boys assemble the rockets and the igniters properly.
