Just what is a Space Derby?

 For complete listing of all design categories, Schedule, Rules and Reminders please click here.

The space derby is similar to the pinewood derby except that the models are miniature “rockets”, propeller driven and powered by three rubber bands – that travel along a heavy mono filament fishing line.

Please feel free to give guidance and minimal assistance to your Scout as he builds his Space Derby rocket, appropriate to his age. This is a chance for your son to be part of a team (he and you), and to enjoy the spirit of friendly competition with his peers.

These “Official Space Derby Rules” are written to help you keep it simple and fun for your child, and to know what to expect when it comes time to race your rocket.
