October Camping is Rocks and Rockets

We'll be rock climbing and rocket launching!

Joshua Tree National Park is an amazing location for climbing on Saturday and camping just outside of the park where we'll launch rockets.

All Scouts will get to try rock climbing in the morning and can climb to their own level of comfort and ability. In the afternoon we'll launch rockets in the desert next to our camp.

MANDATORY CLIMBING GROUND SCHOOL at the 10/9 troop meeting along with members of the OCBSA Climbing Team.

We'll be building rockets at the 10/2 Troop meeting, this week. There isn't time to build them at the campsite.

Arrive at church Friday 10/13 at 6 pm having already eaten dinner.
We'll return Sunday 10/15 mid-afternoon. Please bring some cash in your pocket for Sunday lunch on the road.

Camping and activity costs are:

Scouts $52
Adults $40

RSVP by Mon 10/9.

All prices include food, camping fees and entry into the Joshua Tree National Park, rocket motors, ignites, and wadding.

Rocket launching Scouts will need to pre-purchase their own rocket to build.

Rockets are available at Hobby Lobby. A basic kit ranges from $8-16 dollars. Do not purchase a rocket with motors larger than a C series.
We will not launch D-size motors or larger or homemade motors.
