You're most welcome, Gus. The funny thing was, my brothers and sisters--all considerably older than me--were in the Cub/Boy/Girl Scouts or Brownies or Campfire Girls and my parents were active in them, but by the time I came around later (when they were in their mid-forties), I guess they no longer had the energy for these activities. I had no idea there had been exclusive, Scout-specific model rocket kits and activities until about ten years ago!
