Eddies Boy Scout Crossover


Eddie is officially a Webelo II Boy Scout. We had his Crossover Ceremony on Saturday evening.


He got a compass after crossing over.






This is Eddie crossing over the bridge during the ceremony.








He participated in an egg launch. He had to wrap up a fresh egg in a 4x4x4 box any way he wanted to. (Of course we used the UPS packing method) and the egg survived!

This is the launcher. He is pushing on a bicycle pump to put air into the 2 liter bottle that is half full of water. On the top of the bottle is a wire basket with his box in it. He pushed and pushes until the air pressure builds up and the bottle and box launch 75-100 feet in the air. The box will come off of the bottle and then the boys check to see if it landed safely.
