Cub Scouts got me started

Hello everyone!
I just discovered this forum this afternoon as I began researching water rockets as an activity for my Cub Scouts. I have been involved with model rocketry for a few years and will be doing a launch in the spring but I thought that introducing rocketry to the boys through water rockets would be a fun activity for a warm evening as we begin the year. I like that the rockets and equipment can be built inexpensively with stuff that is often thrown out and a basic launcher can be built with materials commonly found at the local hardware store, I have enough material to build 4 launchers and 4 rockets and I have spent just under $20.
