FALL CAMPOREE

Protege of Lord Baden Powell and song leader, Zac McMaster.
Stand clear, heads up, ya never know about these homemade (WMPS) weapons of mass pumpkin destruction.
The one on the right was built by Troop 430 from a valley ward. Lance Simon is their scout master and coincidentally grew up in the First Ward. ala Dick and Terry Simon. The first couple launches almost took out the spectators as the pumkin went straight up and fell back behind the Trebuchet.
MEGA TREBUCHET-This one had diesel truck engine flywheels for the weights. We met the scout that designed it, he is 15 and will be a world class engineer one day.
