Rocket Blast from my Past
Posted by admin under: program .
This was fun. I recently did a seminar at my district’s Roundtable on the Space Derby for Cub Scouts. Not all packs do them and since I had coordinated my pack’s o’ so many years ago I was asked to put it on. So, I loaded up the derby track sawhorses and did a seminar for the huge crowd of four people who came that night.
What I didn’t realize at the time was the Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner had gotten hold of my incredibly grandiose Space Derby Manual that I felt compelled to write after that event, um, eleven years ago.Whew! It’s been a while. Holy cow! I even put an index at the back of the 63 page document. It was fun to see this document again because between server crashes, expired web sites, and hard drive deaths any copy of this manual I once had was nothing but electronic dust. She had it printed for display for the Roundtable and kindly sent me a copy yesterday.
Want to know how to put on a Space Derby in the late 1990’s? Rocket making advice? Timeline? Brackets for double-elimination racing? I really threw the kitchen sink into this thing. Hee, hee. If you have a really big cup of coffee and a whole lot of time to waste go ahead and click to pull down either the Microsoft Word version or the PDF version.
I’m just glad I only had to write it and not read the whole thing again.
