Summertime Event Attire:  Pack 310 T-Shirts 
(if you already have one)


⛵ 🚀SUN, August 18: Recycled Rain Gutter Regatta & Rocket Launching
  • Recycled Rain Gutter Regatta & Recycled Water Bottle Rocket Launching
  • CV Park (near Dog Park)
  • 4:00 - 6:00 PM
  • BYO Family Picnic Dinner & Recycling Bin Items for Building Boats & Launching Water Bottle / Soda Bottle Rockets

Tips for Recycling Bin Construction Items:

🚀 Water Rockets:  
  • 20 oz empty soda bottles work best (Coke or Pepsi type bottle)
  • Extra water jugs (small Igloo or gallon size) for "re-fueling" the water rockets always appreciated
  • If feeling adventurous, rocket fins can be made from a cardboard box or posterboard and glued on to the bottle at home
⛵ Rain Gutter Sail Boats: 
  • Please bring materials to share for boat building, such as chip bags, juice boxes, Capri-Sun containers, plastic water bottles, duct tape -- make sure everything is empty & clean.
  • Recycled small plastic water bottles & pool noodles work great for the hull of the sail boat
  • Sails can be made with a flattened Capri Sun juice package or chip bag, etc.
  • Mast could be added using a drinking straw or craft stick
  • Nickels/pennies can be taped to boat bottom for ballast if needed - boats have better chance of staying upright while sailing.  
  • Purchased kits not needed - use recycled items from home and get creative (ex. bring a drinking straw or craft stick for the mast)  
Ice cream will be provided.  If you have a favorite topping for ice cream afterwards, feel free to bring it along to share.  Pack 310 Summertime Events (3)☀

🏹  What is The Arrow of Light? 

          The Arrow of Light is the highest level award in Cub Scouts.  The award goes to Cub Scouts who have completed the Webelos Rank and prepares them to become Boy Scouts.  In fact, Arrow of Light is its own rank, marking a milestone in a Cub Scout’s growth
          The award is significant in the Scouting experience – so significant it is the only Cub Scout badge that is worn on the Boy Scout uniform. There are Eagle Scouts out there still representing the Arrow of Light award alongside their Eagle Scout medals.
