MBC 2011: Final Session
8:15-8:28am: Arrival of the Scouts, and preparation for final session.
8:29-9:44am: Took a test for Citizenship In The World and, and talked about my papers concerning China’s one-child policy, and the U.S. landmine policy for Requirement 7.
9:45-9:58am: Finished Citizenship In The World and immediately headed outside, taking many wrong turns, and finally ending up at the football field to launch rockets for the final requirement of Space Exploration!
10:00-11:14am: Nearly got my papers blown away, and hands frozen from the cold, but I managed to give my Moon Base to my counselor. Headed out onto the field with the Launchmaster and hooked up my rocket.
The countdown began: 5…4…3…2…..1! The rockets either side of my blasted into the sky, but mine stayed grounded. Fixed the problem with the plug and took another run. The Patriot rocket launched into the sky, and curving slightly, the parachute deployed for a safe landing.
Decided to have another 2 launches along with another kid who brought a huge black rocket. One of the other Scouts in my group launched his rocket and it landed on the roof, so he borrowed my rocket for his 2 launches. My rocket’s last launch ended in a hard landing, with one of my fins going to pieces.
11:15-11:29am: Exhilarated and triumphant, I headed inside to Journalism.
11:30-11:57am: Listened to talk from a professional news reporter and discussed careers in Journalism.
11:58am-12:30pm: Left early and went to get ready for the closing ceremony, gathering the color guard together. Had taps for an Eagle Scout who had died in Afghanista and closing prayer. Nick and Drew were our flag bearers, Paco was our acting SPL, and me and Jacob (a scout from another troop), were color guard for the ceremony.
