Apparently, others are finally learning what we have known for years... Rockets are fun! UROC has been asked to assist with two very large scout events in the next couple of weeks. Bruce Bell has taken on the coordination and planning for these events (Thanks Bruce!) We would like to get as many UROC members in attendance at both events as possible.
