Last week about 100 kids (Scouts and siblings), 50 to 70 parents attended the launching of 300+ rockets in pastures in front of Fred Scott’s home, Lower Bundoran.  Joyous kids were running everywhere to retrieve, reload and re-launch their model rockets.  In typical scouting fashion the event was very well run by a scout leaders and parents and very safe.  All trash was collected and all rockets found with the sole exception of the two-stage rocket which went for a half mile.  They searched mightily but couldn’t find it.  No joy.

 

If you need more information about Scouting, both packs and dens, in the Charlottesville/Albemarle County area, contact Mike Farruggio, a Charlottesville Police Captain and graduate of the Sorensen Institute, at Farruggio@charlottesville.org.
