June 2008 Last Scout Meeting of the Spring | |
Every year Troop 55 ends the school year with a great water balloon fight. This year, pop bottle rockets were also added. | |
Jan shows how to pump up the rocket | |
The Bears' rocket ready to go | |
Up it goes. Its amazing how fast they move. | |
The Wolverines had 3 rockets. They prepare them for flight. |
|
One Wolverine rocket ready to launch | |
Off it goes |
|
After several launches, the scouts started to wonder if the fins and nosecone were needed. Adam watches as a plain pop bottle getrs ready to launch. | |
Off it goes |
|
Adam watches as it goes very high. | |
While some of the scouts were launching rockets, others were participating in the water balloon fight. They had a LOT of fun! I'm not sure there was a dry scout in it. | |
Nick shows Adam a perfect back shot. |
|
|
The bathrooms were a great place to reload. |
Another great shot. |
|
Alex hits Roy with a direct shot. Looks like he's going to get soaked! | |
It's never over, till it's over. The balloon doesn't break and Roy stays dry! |
|
Alex finds the other end of a bucket. | |
Yes, he was soaked. |
|
Just waiting for Ben to come out, he really had no chance. |
|
One final balloon, just for fun |
|
Once again, everyone had fun. The scouts were a little wet on the ride home. |
