2.How close the entry comes to landing in the center of the target (more points awarded to the entry landing closest to the center).

Trophies will be awarded to the three Scout contestants with the highest scoring entries.
Non-Scout Award:A certificate will be awarded to the non-Scout entry that scores the highest based on the Award Criteria.
Special Award:A certificate will be awarded to the Scout with the most creative entry, as judged by the Engineers.
