STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
STEM
is part of an initiative the Boy Scouts of America has taken on to
encourage the natural curiosity of youth members and their sense of
wonder about these fields through existing programs. From archery to
welding, Scouts can't help but enjoy the wide range of STEM-related
activities. To support this initiative, the BSA developed the Nova
Awards program so that youth members have fun and receive recognition
for their efforts.
Why STEM?
We
live in a time of great opportunity. The spirit of innovation can help
us overcome challenges and ensure a prosperous and secure future. To
seize this opportunity, we must position ourselves at the cutting edge
of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
Yet
our country is falling behind in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics. This is why many professionals and educators in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics believe the United States
should do more now than ever to encourage students to enter STEM-related
fields. These experts say our young people need strong STEM skills to
compete in the world market. We must work together to cultivate the next
generation of critical thinkers and innovators.
Ten-year
employment projections by the U.S. Department of Labor show that of the
20 fastest-growing occupations projected for 2014, 15 of them require
significant mathematics or science preparation.
STEM Is the future
Fostering
a strong STEM education is our best opportunity to boost the spirit of
innovation. It's what we need to help ensure this country continues on a
prosperous and secure journey. STEM literacy is also critical because
it has a profound and growing impact on our day-to-day lives. Nature,
space exploration, and any STEM-related interest reveals to us the
beauty and power of the world we inhabit.
What Are the Nova Awards?
The
Boy Scouts of America developed the Nova Awards program to excite and
expand a sense of wonder in our Scouts. By working with an adult
counselor or mentor, the various modules allow them to explore the basic
principles of STEM and discover how fun and fascinating STEM can be.
The Supernova awards are offered for those who enjoy a super challenge.
For more information about STEM and the Nova Awards program, visit
www.scouting.org/stem. Discover how the Nova Awards program helps youth
be "Prepared. For Life."

Note from your Advancement chair - Completing the requirements for your
Rank Trail does not earn you this badge. Read further for the
requirements. Completion of this badge IS noted right below your rank
trail requirements (A-D for example) but should NOT be marked off as
completed unless you have completed the below steps.
Religious Awards for Cub Scouts
A CubScout can
easily earn religious awards provided he has the help of aparent or a
close family member. Cub Scout leaders you can get thisprocess rolling
without adding to your existing workload! You will neverbe more proud of
your Scouts than when you present them with areligious emblem knot
patch at your Pack meeting. Your Cub Scout canproudly wear this knot and
the fantastic religious emblem medal on hisuniform. Here’s how to get
them going.
[By the way, thisis
written in a secret cipher that only those capable of promoting CubScout
religious awards can read; so if you can read this, you canpromote Cub
Scout religious awards].
Let Tigers, Wolves,
Bearsand Webelos know that there are religious awards programs
available foreach of them. These are programs of their individual faith
ordenomination, which the BSA encourages.
Very handsome
medals and areligious emblem knot are awarded to those who complete the
program.(Saying nothing of important spiritual growth)!
Parents acquire
theappropriate religious emblem (award) workbook according to
yourdenomination and the age/grade of your Cub Scout. These are
availablefrom the Scout office (607-648-7888) or from Pray Publishers, www.praypub.org, or 800-933-7729. For more information about Catholic Religious Emblems, see www.nccs-bsa.org. The Scout office stocks the most commonly required workbooks for Cubs. These are:
Light of Christ – Catholic Tigers and Wolves
Parvuli Dei (Children of God) – Catholic Bears and Webelos
God and Me – most Protestant denominations for grades 1, 2 and 3
God and Family – most Protestant denominations for grades 4 & 5
For others go to www.praypub.org and search by denomination /faith and by age/grade.
Workbooks are
completed by the Cub or Webelos Scout over a few weeks or months with
the advice, encouragement and help of his parent / close family member.
Upon completion
of the workbook, there is a review and/or signoff by the Scout, the
parent and the pastor or other church official.
The submittal
of the completion/signoff sheet or cards from the workbook depends on
the denomination. Follow the instructions in the workbook used. However,
Catholic Scouts in the Syracuse Diocese should submit completed forms
to Tom Hranek, Chairman of the Baden-Powell Catholic Committee on
Scouting, 1804 Tracy St, Endicott, NY 13760. Questions, call the B-P
Council office at 607-648-7888.
The Pack, the
parent or the particular Church, upon completion of the workbook
requirements, orders medals and religious emblems knots. Parents are
urged to either complete this task personally or make sure that it is
being handled. The Catholic Committee on Scouting does the ordering for
Catholic awards, which are personally presented to each Cub Scout by the
Bishop of his diocese. The parent or the Pack can order religious
emblem knots. Knots are ideally presented to Catholic Cub Scout in his
home parish by special arrangement with the pastor. Knots can be
presented again (or at least acknowledged) at a Pack Meeting.
