it is time to start planning for the 2019 Rocketry Trek!

The Trek will be March 9 & 10, but please get your sign ups in early as we are including a model rocket kit with this years trek fee (and will need to get orders in), we are planning for rocket building sessions in advance of the trek, and we are also looking to include a Space Exploration merit badge opportunity as part of this years trek for those that are interested!

Additional information is included in the trek announcement form, but please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Thank you,

Ray Burnett
