Egg Drop Challenge

THE RULES

• The size of the egg should be JUMBO raw eggs

• The eggs should be uncooked :-)

• Scouts to get their own egg for the challenge

• Judges must be able to check for cracked eggs

• Dropping a live chicken is NOT permitted! You must make your own container

• Cub Scouts have to get their own material for container and inside padding. Suggestions include Jello, cooked pasta, popcorn, crushed newspapers, plastic or Styrofoam peanuts - use your imagination (and some help from the internet)

• The raw egg has to be sealed inside the packing

• The largest container size allowed is 6” X 6” X 6”

• Parachutes are okay as long as they stay within the dimensions above when they have been unfurled

• Each package must be clearly marked with the Cub Scout’s name, and den number

• All boxes will be inspected before the drop - to make sure the box is secure and ready for drop

• Drop will be conducted by the Egg Drop staff

• Boxes will be opened after drop to check if egg survived the drop (possibly multiple times) or if it is ready for the frying pan!

• Decision of the egg drop judges is final
