Looking for other nonrace activites to hold at a Space Derby?

Speed: First rocket to reach finish line.

Endurance: Last rocket to reach the finish line.

Relay: Boys form teams of twos. The first boy releases his space derby rocket, and as soon as it reaches the other end of the line, his teammate removes it, rewind it, puts it back on the guideline, and releases it. The first rocket to return wins.

Altitude: String a guideline which is about 12 inches from the ground at the starting line and 5 feet at the finish line. The cub scouts rocket the climbs the highest is the winner.

Just for Fun: Have rockets break the balloons at the finish line. Do this by inserting several straight pins through a piece of cardboard. Suspend the cardboard from the finish line and place a balloon in front of the pins. The rocket will drive the balloon into the pins.
