The scouts of Troop 718 enjoyed a breezy day near Ocotillo Wells for our annual Rocketfest. 
12 Scouts and 10 adults made the trek on Friday, Jan 23rd. We enjoyed foil dinners that night and did some awesome stargazing with Paul H. The Andromeda Galaxy was cool!
Devon A. had the toughest and heaviest rocket due to overuse of the hot glue gun.
After a hearty breakfast, the rapid launch sequence began. It is estimated we had over 100 launches with a 100% recovery rate, if not always completely intact. Thanks for Dave J. and Bryce P. for chasing down wayward rockets. Big Bertha is always a hit.
The Rubicon is launched and recovered for the second year!
The Rubicon is launched and recovered for the second year!Great work Scouts and thanks Dads and Leaders. The Mean Machine started at 6 feet tall but after the first launch had to be cut down to 5 feet. It made three other successful launches and recoveries.
