Webelos Adventures

Ryder has had a lot of Webelos Adventures with his Den Leaders this summer.  One of the fun projects they built together was a rocket launcher.  He came home with a sparkle in his eye wanting to see how high it would go.  

Should I be nervous?

They have been practicing with
their leaders to set a good example
for the younger boys.

A lazy Sunday evening what else can we do but try to send it up into the atmosphere.  Ryder begged me to come out and watch.  WHAT??? are you going to do with the air compressor?  Just Watch!!

Hooking it up
Let it rip....

without blowing it apart.

Line it up carefully

It flew way up high but watch your head for the falling back to the ground.  I don't want any concussions.  Let's try something else.  How about adding water.  It didn't fly as high but if you are too close you will get wet.  

He only has a month left in cub scouts.  I am so thankful for the leaders taking their time to teach these boys new skills as well as how to have fun and to be safe
