Pace/Compass Course
< more information to come >
Rocket Race to the Moon (Competition Activity)
The race track is thin string or fishing line strung between two points. The race vehicles are paper cones, threaded onto that line. The power is supplied by the Scouts blowing into the open end of the cone to the finish line. You may choose to make your own, or use the disposable drinking cup cones that can be purchased from retail stores. This activity can have the Scouts make and decorate (with magic markers) their cones right at the pack meeting or ahead of time. This activity is simple but filled with fun and adventure.
Blast Off (Craft & Competition Activity)
Cut a rectangular strip of paper about 5 inches long and roll it tightly around a pencil. Tape this cylinder and remove the pencil. Cut about 5 1/2" cuts straight into the cylinder at one end. Insert the pencil again, and mold the cut ends around the pencil point so you form a rocket point. Tape the rocket point with clear tape. Remove the pencil again. Cut four triangular shaped fins and fold over 1/4" on one edge of each. Tape these, spaced evenly, around the lower edge of the cylinder. Slip a straight (non-bendable) straw inside the cylinder, point the rocket in a safe direction and launch it by blowing through the straw. Rocket that lands the farthest in each group wins. Describe how Newton’s third law of motion explains how the rocket is propelled into the sky. (Scientist-Technology group activity)
Comet Tic Tac Go (Craft & Game Activity)
Pour 1/4 cup of uncooked rice in the middle of a 6" square scrap of cloth. Put the ends of three or four 12" streamers on top of the rice. Twist the cloth so the rice is in a tight little ball with the streamers coming out the end. Tie it tightly with a 12" piece of string. Play catch with them or do “toss across” game to play tic tac toe to land on “asteroid/moon/planet etc.” or who can throw it the farthest?

Flying Saucer Relay (Team Building Activity)
Place nine different sized and colored circles (number them 1-9) representing the nine planets posted on stakes around the course. On each, put the scrambled letters of its name on. Give each player a piece of paper which has the planets listed in order of the galaxy (i.e. earth is # 3). The boys move from planet to plane taking turns throwing the Frisbee to hit the post with the correct planet in order. The group that does it in the fastest time wins!

Webelos play slow motion tag trying to reach the moon and “it” has to tag them out first.
