QUESTION: Has anyone used this packet for a fourth grade group? by Matthew B 4/6/2012 STAFF ANSWER: Hello Matthew - the Alpha III model rocket package is one of the most popular sets for Cub Scouts in grades 1st-5th. For first timers it is just challenging enough to be fun, yet simple enough to complete in 1-2 hours. Kids will need supervision however since there is some measuring and cutting involved. Let us know if you have any more questions! by eHobbies C 4/6/2012 |
