Reminder that this Sunday is our annual Rocket Launch at Coyote Basin Park! We'll start at with flags and lunch at noon, with rocket launching beginning shortly afterward.
We will have soccer games running throughout the day so all the boys can earn (and Webelos can re-earn) their soccer belt loops.
Coyote Basin Park is located at 2730 E Beardsley Road in Phoenix (here's a map). Take the SR101 freeway to Cave Creek Road, then head south just past the Costco, then left on Beardsley to the park. Plan to park in the southeast corner of the Costco lot and walk since there is very little parking in the park itself.
The park has no restroom facilities. We'll have a porta-john available, but the closest modern restroom is at Costco, so please plan accordingly.
Things to bring:
(1) Your son in Class B (yellow t-shirt) uniform (Phoenix Den should wear Class A uniforms for the flag ceremony, but can change afterward.)
(2) Your rocket! (Be sure to give your rocket a name. We also suggest writing your Scout's name on the rocket so we can return it if it gets lost.)
(3) Lawn chairs, blankets, etc. for your family.
(4) Sunscreen, hat, and water. We'll have water with lunch, but you'll be in the full blast of the sun for the afternoon, and you'll probably want more.
(5) Extra rocket engines if you want to do multiple launches. The pack will provide one engine for each scout. After everyone has had a chance to launch their rockets, we'll allow open launching to those who bring their own engines. Model rocket engines are available at Hobby Lobby, Amazon, etc. We use B6-4 engines, but if you can't find those, any other "A" or "B" type engine (A4-2, B4-2, B6-2, etc.) will work. Engines larger than "B" size are illegal in Phoenix, and will not be allowed.
See you all on Sunday!
