I’ve found three rockets on ScoutShop.org that appear to be unique to the Boy Scouts of America.
Currently I’m working on a set of FAQs and recommendations for Scout units and other youth groups who wish to join DART at our launches, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these rockets and would recommend them to first-timers.
As far as criteria I’m looking at ease of assembly, ease of flight prep, motor flexibility, and beginner-friendly flight characteristics. Those prices look about right.
Estes Voyager:

Estes Starseeker (looks like a redecorated Firestreak SST)

Estes Scout Spirit E2X. I’m willing to bet that that’s an Alpha variant and that @BEC might know a thing or two about it.
