A Georgia Girl in Germany

Benjamin started Cub Scouts this year now that he’s in the first grade. He doesn’t seem to be as “into it” as Zachary was, but he still seems to enjoy some aspects of it. Back in late October, his pack held its annual Space Derby. Since Zachary had experience with Space Derbies, he helped with the final touches on Benjamin’s rocket (attaching and winding the rubber band).

Benjamin was rather proud of his rocket, and was excited about watching it race.

However, the races moved along at a snail’s pace -- nearly two hours to fly 10 or so heats. Benjamin was nearby anytime his rocket was on the launch pad (in spot #2 here), but otherwise ran around with the other scouts chasing each other with sticks and jumping off large rocks...being boys!
