engaged in four national engineering programs – <i>The American Rocketry Challenge, FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics,</i> <i>Botball Educational Robotics, </i>and the<i> UAS4STEM Drone Competition</i>. In 2021, we worked through the pandemic and did very well in all four programs. Our robotics teams scored among the top teams, but our rocketry and drone teams were at the at the top nationally. The tenacity of the teams through many long months of the pandemic has proved to be their strength. Add to that the dedication of several adult leaders in providing the logistics so the teams could meet and succeed in their challenge.</p> <p class="xmsonormal">Bob Ekman is the over-all advisor for Post 1010. Tom May, aided by his wife Beth May, are the mentors for the drone team. Vince Camobreco is a mentor for the rocketry team. Neal Perkins is a mentor for the FIRST robotics team. Bob is also the mentor for the Botball team.</p> <p class="xmsonormal">Post 1010 has been active since 1997, with hundreds of teen passing through the program. We currently have about 34 registered members. They do well every year, but this year has been extraordinary.</p> <p class="xmsonormal"><b>The American Rocketry Challenge</b></p> <p class="xmsonormal">Explorer Post 1010 registered three teams in the 2020 The American Rocketry Challenge (TARC). The main web site is <a href="https://rocketcontest.org/">https://rocketcontest.org/</a>. The challenge is to fly to a specific altitude and then descend to the ground in a specific total flight time. We also had to carry a large raw egg and not receive any cracks. We started with experiments focused on the challenge in the fall of 2019. We recruited several new members for 2020 and designed and built our competition rockets. We started testing our rockets during the winter of 2020.</p> <p class="xmsonormal">Then the pandemic hit and we suspended the program until September 2020. We used the same 2020 challenge for 2021, but dropped one of our teams because we lost several seniors. By May 17, 2021, both teams completed three qualification flights with scores low enough to be invited to the national fly-off in June. The finals are for the top 100 teams from the 615 registered teams across the US.</p> <p class="xmsonormal">Our teams traveled to the Great Meadow field in The Plains, VA, on June 13. They both successfully completed two flights. The first one to 775 feet and descent time between 39 and 42 seconds. The second one to 825 feet and descent time between 41 and 44 seconds. Our first team had two flights that were almost perfect, getting a score of 3 and 5 for a combined score of 8. The second team had good altitude scores, but descended a little too fast. At an on-line ceremony on June 28, the <strong>first team was ranked 2nd place nationally and awarded $17,000</strong>. They lost to a team in Oregon that scored 7.7. <strong>Our second team was ranked 42<sup>nd</sup></strong>.</p> <div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4697 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'> <div class='gallery-icon landscape'> <a href='https://weownadventure.com/explorer-post-1010-wins-top-stem-competitions/6696flight1/'><img decoding="async" width="800" height="600" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696flight1.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696flight1.jpg 800w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696flight1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696flight1-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a> </div></figure><figure class='gallery-item'> <div class='gallery-icon landscape'> <a href='https://weownadventure.com/explorer-post-1010-wins-top-stem-competitions/6696winners/'><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2560" height="2000" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-scaled.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-300x234.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-1024x800.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-768x600.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-1536x1200.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-2048x1600.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/6696winners-806x630.jpg 806w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></a> </div></figure><figure class='gallery-item'> <div class='gallery-icon landscape'> <a href='https://weownadventure.com/explorer-post-1010-wins-top-stem-competitions/announcement/'><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="600" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/announcement.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/announcement.jpg 800w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/announcement-300x225.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/announcement-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a> </div></figure> </div> <p class="xmsonormal"><b>UAS4STEM Drone Competition</b></p> <p class="xmsonormal">Explorer Post 1010 registered a teams in the 2020 UAS4STEM drone competition. While we started preparing for the spring and summer competition, the pandemic caused us to delay until 2021. In the challenge, the team must fly their drone both autonomously and remote controlled. They needed to find several targets which are out of site from the team, and then drop water balloons filled with paint on the target.</p> <p class="xmsonormal">In April, our team made an on-line presentation which was rated highly and gave them an invitation to the national competition. The national competition was held in conjunction with the AirVenture Fly-In festival at Oshkosh WI in August 2021. Our team competed with a dozen other teams from across the nation. They gave another impressive presentation and successfully performed their flight operations, hitting the targets several times. At the festival in August, they were <strong>awarded first place nationally and $2,500</strong>.</p> <div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4697 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure

This event took place at Northeastern Presbyterian Church, and it was truly wonderful as each Scout gave speeches about their journey in scouting, and were given awards in the presence of parents, family and friends.</p> <p>The nine Scouts that achieved this rank were Brandon Hall, Xavier Scott, Joshua Simpson, Jamir Grier, James Marcus Hall, Charles Brown II, Benjamin Evans, Spencer Fridie, and Greyson Thrower. Under the direction of Scoutmaster Robert Simpson and other Parent Leaders, these young men have worked hard, over many years, to learn life skills and mature as young adults as they progressed through the ranks of Scouting.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4669 " src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="372" height="249" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Regalia-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px" /></p> <p>Troop 544 is a historically African American troop that was started 90 years ago. Despite the underrepresentation of African American males who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the US, Troop 544 has the distinction of having 58 Boy Scouts who have earned the Eagle Scout designation. What is even more remarkable is that this class of nine Scouts achieved the rank of Eagle Scout during the pandemic.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4668 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="702" height="468" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scout-Oath-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px" /></p> <p>Here’s a list of the new Eagles and their service projects:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Brandon H. – Buddy Weekend: </strong>Went to senior citizen nursing homes to play games with and provided lunches and prizes too them on multiple weekends.</li> <li><strong>Xavier S. – Helping Hands: </strong>Assembled volunteers to do yard cleanup and various household chores for seniors in his neighborhood.</li> <li><strong>Jamir G. – Technology for Seniors: </strong>Held two weekends of sessions that provided technology training (i.e. cellphones, tablets, etc.) to seniors at different churches.</li> <li><strong>Marcus H. – Dog Poop Stations: </strong>Constructed a “Dog Poop Station” in front of his church.</li> <li><strong>Charles B. – Beautification Project for South Manor in DC: </strong>Led a group of volunteers to install various plantings in a neighborhood area in need of cleaning.</li> <li><strong>Joshua S. – Supplies for Seniors: </strong>Created activity bags for residents of senior nursing homes which included a variety of items too keep them entertained during the pandemic which limited their visitors.</li> <li><strong>Benjamin E. – Washington Yu Ying Rain Garden: </strong>Eco friendly project that had him plant plants to stop erosion at the hill of his former elementary school.</li> <li><strong>Spencer F. – SEGL Sick Room: </strong>Built a wellness and recovery center at his high school which included installing cabinetry, bed, etc.</li> <li><strong>Greyson T. – Little Libraries: </strong>Built little libraries at various multi family housing developments.</li> </ul> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4670 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="702" height="468" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Eagle-Scouts-and-Leaders-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px" /></p> <p>Congratulations, gentlemen!

Snyder hosted Scout Specialty Week, its first ever Scouts BSA Merit Badge Week. Among the extensive merit badge offerings, Michael’s Woodshop offered the Woodwork Merit Badge, accommodating fourteen youth during three “double length” sessions offered during the week. Scouts began the week covering the “non-tool-use” requirements; shop safety, first aid, lumber milling, curing and grading and tool sharpening. Then the real fun began! Scouts created three projects, each demonstrating the use of different tools, joints or cuts and then designed and built their own project.</p> <p>The three projects worked on during the week were the Classic Tool Box, a Wooden Mallet (renamed “Thor’s Hammer” by the Scouts) and a Cell Phone Stand. Each project allowed Scouts to use different tools and to learn and practice certain skills and techniques. Scout creativity was on full display during the “design your own” projects with a great range of interesting projects including paper towel holders, PWD car displays, coat racks and even an airplane and a boat! Thirteen of fourteen Scouts fully completed their requirements with the final Scout’s completion contingent only on earning his Totin’ Chip (the only requirement Scouts needed to complete outside of class). It was a very successful week in the woodshop!
