We are honored and privileged to announce the Golden Scout model rocket kit in honor of Vern and Gleda Estes in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of their "little venture" that changed the World. Their continued support and promotion of the hobby for those 50 years has set the Gold Standard for the entire industry.

In an attempt to break the current record of the number of model rockets flown at one time, 1,500 Golden Scouts will take to the air in the "Sky Of Gold" record breaking launch attempt during NARAM-50, that will be held at Manassas Virginai this July 26th - Aug 1st, 2008.

Attendees, as well as non-attendees will be able to participate in this Historic model rocket event to break the single launch record. The original Scout, designed by Vern in 1961, is being reproduced and will be released as the Golden Scout by Semroc.

The cost of the Golden Scout will be $7.50 per kit, and is Catalog No KV-4. It includes all parts and instructions, the Golden Scout Flight Pack is catalog No KV-4FP, and is $8.50. It includes a box with postage to return your completed Golden scout, and an address label that will be used to return your model after the launch. If your completed Golden Scout is returned to Semroc to fly at NARAM , it also includes the cost of one engine on the day of the launch, a certificate of participation and a return mailer with postage.

There will be a limited number of Golden scout Flight Packs available, with serial numbers from 1 to 1,500. There is NO limit on the number of Golden Scouts you can order, but, there is a limit of ten Golden scout Flight Packs per person. The serial numbers will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, as they are received.

Your completed Golden Scout MUST be returned to Semroc by July 1st,2008, in order to be launched at NARAM-50.

We ask that the primary color of all the returned Golden Scouts be a metallic Gold. The waterslide decal with your serical number MUST be applied to the Golden Scout.

After the launch, all of the Golden scouts will be sorted and returned to their owners, as soon as possible, along with the spent emgine casing and certificate of participation.

Plans are to mail them from the post office at The Plains, Virginia, the day after the launch.

Ken Montanye, the "Rocket Doctor", having provided the original concept and many additional inspirations, will be working with us to help coordinate and promote this Historic event.
