January 2004 theme was Space Exploration

On April 25, 2004, our troop took a trip to Michael's of Dadeland where we assembled rockets then took them back to our scout home to launch them.  We had a lot of fun, lost a lot of rockets, but were able to earn ten merit badges.  AND for the first time on this website...Movies.  Click on a file to the right.

On January 22, 2004, we took a trip to the Kennedy Space Center, where we learned all about Space Exploration.

Rocket Engine?

So you call this a rocket engine?

Count Down!

Poised for Lift-Off

Adrian, Tommy & Frankie

Congratulations!

The older scouts join the acting Senior Patrol Leader Alec in developing a rover (egg) lander from baloons, rubber bands, tape and a napkin, that will be dropped 25 feet without cracking.

Team C

I think this egg actually could have landed on Mars without breaking!

How about we use the other side of the napkin?

Team Ready

Ervin, Nicky & Alexander are joined by two cub scouts in developing their rover.

Thumbs Up

Alexander and Nicky Readies their rover for a safe landing.

Drop it Frank

Frank's team lands their egg safely after a 25 foot drop.

Is that egg hard boiled?

Keiffer exams his egg after its 25 foot drop. Safely landing their space craft.

From 25 Feet

Alessandro readies his rover for a smooth landing on Mars.

Success!

Tommy examines his team's rover that successfully landed without "breaking up."

Space Shuttle

All the scouts pose inside the cargo bay of a life size model of the Space Shuttle.

Ridin' to the launch pad

Launch Pad 39 B

The scouts pose on top of the observatory, one mile from the Space Shuttle's launch pad.

Wasn't that cool?

Frankie & Tommy discuss the day's adventure over some strawberry and vanilla Space Dots (Ice Cream).

Leftovers

Beats the Sliders and Tube Steaks!

Third Stage

Some of the older scouts observe the Saturn V Rocket Launcher.

How 'bout these wheels

Anthony, Alessandro & Matthew pose by the Moon rover.

Homeward Bound

It was late, but these boys still had some spunk in them
