Right. A competition program is just the thing for those goal oriented rocketeers. It is indeed good that TRA is trying to cater to the needs of younger members. There are TRA prefects in some areas without NAR sections.
The TRA F and G Certification is a joke, and rocketeers under 18 still can't purchase HPR motors or obtain a LEUP, or legally be the responsible flyer of record. However, I think the TRA could open up their EX to rocketeers under the age of 18. I think that would attract a substantial number of Jr. members. Although, I'm not familiar with how TRA handles EX.
