Space Derby

Tonight was Simeon's 1st Derby as a Cub Scout. He has been working with Johann on getting his rocket ready for 2 weeks, but most of the work got done in the last few days before the race.
Simeon painted his Cubs colors-blue and red, and had even #'s on the side.

The boys were testing the rocket before Pack meeting and found out that they had put a part on backwards, so they took it apart and redid it, but unfortunately that made it not work. So during Pack meeting Johann was in working on the rocket and getting it to fly.
Fly it did. It went from not working, to being really fast.

Simeon was moving up the bracket towards the top places, when his rubber bands broke. This happened to another rocket and they both got a chance to put in a new rubber band.
As the race for 3rd place was about to get going the rubber bands in Isaac's rocket broke, giving him 3rd place. Then it was the race for 1st and 2nd place and just as the rockets were about to be put on, Simeon's rubber bands broke, giving Simeon 2nd place, and Jordan 1st place.

The boys and dads all had a good time racing the rockets. Simeon got his 1st taste of a derby.
