S.T.E.M. University
| |
On December 27, 2014, 199 Scouts attended the inaugural Hawk Mountain Council S.T.E.M. University at Albright College where Boy Scouts worked on completing Nuclear Science, Chemistry, Robotics, Electricity, Energy, Weather, and Digital Technology merit badges. A total of 388 merit badges were earned by the end of the day. Cub Scouts worked on the Ultimate belt loop, Robotics, and Nova Swing! 228 Cub Scout advancements were earned by the hard working Cubs. Approximately 150 Nova Awards were presented during the Robotics sessions.
This event was represented by Hawk Mountain, New Birth of Freedom, Minsi Trails, Northeast PA, Columbia-Montour, and NY Hudson Valley Councils.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of the Council's first WEBELOS and Boy Scout Supernova Award. Matthew Frantz of Pack 144 earned the Dr. Charles H. Townes Supernova Award. Marc Chmielewski of Troop 423 earned the Dr. Bernard Harris Supernova Bronze Award. Congratulations to those two Scouts who are leading the way in the new BSA STEM program.
Thank you to all Scouts, parents, and staff who made the STEM University a very successful day.
