What is this?
Rocket Day is a district opportunity for Packs to bring their Cubs to shoot off rockets. These are chemical
engine-powered rockets, typically sold in kits from a company called Estes. They will fly to a height of several
hundred feet, and higher depending on how powerful of an engine you use and whether you ever want to see
the rocket again.
What to do:
● Show up with a finished rocket. We cannot build them or complete them on-site.
● Wear good shoes. A good part of the fun is running around chasing rockets as they come back down (on
parachutes)
● Uniform is a Class-B
Weather?
The biggest concern is not rain, but high winds and dry conditions. Gusts over 20 MPH are officially
too strong according to the National Association of Rocketry, but even 15 MPH can be problematic. If Travis
County is still in a burn ban the District will push to a later date.
