Those having lighted rockets can continue with night launching.  Depending on how much rocketry the Scouts want to do on Sunday morning we will leave around 12:00 PM and should be back at the Church about 5:00 PM

COST and CAMPING

Cost for attendees (Scouts and adults) is $40.00 and includes meals while at Dairyaire and transportation to and from the outing.  Scouts should bring their own money for meals on the road to and from the launch and for additional rocket motors if needed. The Troop will be car/tent camping at the rocket launch site.  The rocket launching activity site is somewhat remote and is located far away from trees and building.   Bathroom facilities will be available.  Be sure to bring sunscreen and hats.

Dairyaire and Rocketry

Dairyaire is held in Fresno and more details about the launch and the Tripoli Central California rocket meets can be found at their website.

If you are going and want to launch a rocket make sure you have yours built and ready by Saturday May 16.  Make sure you also purchase enough rocket motors if you want to launch more than once. There will be vendors onsite selling rocket motors but not all sizes may be available.  It is best if you can purchase the motors and bring them with you.

There are many on-line suppliers of model rocket kits.  In Ventura/Oxnard/Camarillo you can purchase kits from Fry’s Electronics and Hobby People.

The following are other on-line sources.
