Cub Scout Pack 29 | Prepared. For Life.

On Sunday May 18th, starting at 6pm, we will hold a special May Pack Meeting.  We will be outside so please dress accordingly.  This month our activity is an egg drop and ice cream social.  The rules for the egg drop are below.  Also, this meeting is a recruiting event – get your recruiting badge, bring a friend, and enjoy some ice cream.  Get started on your egg drop container now!  See you at the meeting!

2014 Pack 29 Egg Drop Rules

1. All Pack 29 members, siblings (brothers & sisters) and guests attending the event are encouraged to participate.
2. All containers/devices must be made at home prior to the event by the participants; however parents may assist with the creation of the containers/devices as necessary and are encouraged to assist the participants with any research required to determine a design.
3. Your containers/devices must be able to withstand being dropped multiple times from varying heights (starting at 5 feet).
4. Your containers/devices must hold a large egg. You can use your own eggs to test your container/device at home.  Pack 29 will provide 1 egg for each participant on the day of the drop to be sure all eggs will be of similar size and grade.
5. Your containers/devices should weigh no more than 2 lbs (approximate) and should be no more than 10 inches in diameter.
6. Containers/devices must be constructed in a manner that the egg may be inserted prior to each drop and removed after each drop for inspection.
7. No gases other than air may be used.
8. No materials which may “Splatter”, such as peanut butter, liquids, fruit or vegetables, should be used in construction of the container/device (popcorn is OK).
9. No flammable substances.
10. No glass.
11. Prior to each drop, participants can inspect eggs for cracks.
12. Prior to each drop, the participants must insert the egg into the container/device.
13. Participants will NOT drop their own containers/devices.  All drops will be performed by an adult chosen by Pack 29’s Committee.
14. Following each drop, the participant must remove the egg from their container/device to show the judges that it did not crack/break.  A cracked egg is defined as one that is visibly leaking its contents.  Hairline fractures are not considered cracks.
15. No alterations, repairs or repackaging can be made after the first drop.
16. Once your egg has cracked/broken, you are eliminated from the contest.  The last surviving egg will determine our winner.
