Launch Learning :
(Some wisdom from our former Cubmaster, Mr. Ham) I would ask all Den Leaders to remind their Scouts and parents that the Rocket Launch is another opportunity for learning. In life, there are things that happen which are beyond our control-how we deal with these situations are important opportunities for learning. There will be some rockets that will not return to the earth in a manner or a time that we expect. Please prepare the Scouts for this possibility-how we deal with the unexpected is sometimes a more important lesson than when things run smoothly. A good Rocket Launch means that we learn as we go and have fun in the process.
