3…2…1….Join Pack 108 as we have a “Blast” camping out and launching rockets in Lancaster, SC. On April 5-6th Pack 108 has access to vast acreage of property right along the Catawba River. This will be a single night (or day trip) campout with a Pack Provided dinner. We will provide all Scouts that plan to participate with a model rocket kit that they will assemble prior to the campout and launch them there! We have partnered up with the Rocketry of Central Carolina Club to shoot of our rockets in the early afternoon. We did this campout in 2022 and the kids had a blast-See Pictures Below.
In addition to the model rockets, Pack 108 will perform a service project in the morning a do a trash cleanup at the property. Once completed, the scouts will have access to a fully stocked finish pond for endless fishing. Since its on private property no licenses are needed for the adults either…so everyone can have some fun. Catch and release only. Those Scouts that are early risers, keep your eyes peeled for Deer that graze in the field while the sun come up!
Fishing and Swimming in the Catawba River that abuts the property is prohibited.
Pack 108 is going to be setting up camp in the large field so there is plenty of space for everyone- but there are no electricity/water hookups. Please plan and pack accordingly for a more primitive style campout. Campout Arrival time is early Saturday AM with Rocket Launching to occur around 2pm(ish) Final timeline will be sent out to camping families. Sunday Morning, we ask that everyone packs up in the morning, police call the sites for trash and depart by late morning/ before lunch.

The Cost for this campout is $20/family for campers or day trippers which helps cover a portion cost of the Rockets and Dinner that night
Below is a Tutorial on Building a Model Rocket should there be any questions with the kit provided directions.
