Cub Scout STEM Awards
STEM activities are fun and exciting for youth, and also activities that are pertinent to our lives and that parents desire for their children. To remain competitive in the world economy, the United States must cultivate the next generation of critical thinkers and innovators. Experts say that our young people need STEM-related
skills to compete in the world of tomorrow, where most jobs will require at least a basic understanding of math and science.
Cool experiments, awesome field trips, and fun activities are just part of the full STEM experience for interested Scouts and leaders.
